Gen. Barry McCaffrey On Shakeup At The Pentagon: ‘Mark Me Down As Alarmed’ | Deadline | MSNBC
everything is fake because why….he lost. All his law suits have been thrown out because of lack of evidence. He accepts all the Senate votes but not the votes that voted for Biden. WTF.
Putin in his ear – this is how to take over.
@twilady2500 hi again twilady the fact of the matter per the Constitution djt is commander and chief of the armed forces. You should relisten to this podcast and hear gen mccafferey alarm.
@Joe Momma stop trolling
@James Hutchins James djt is commander and chief. That is why there is some alarm being raised here
@John Mcsorley Maybe FOX?😹😹😹
I think Trump is looking for suicide by government because he rather be assassinated than face his fate after Jan 20, 2021.
wowhttps://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
We don’t care how he go!!!! Just go .
@Okkie Trooy LOL
@Hebrew Gad It really doesn’t matter, because he will not get one anyway.
As crazy as it sounds it could be true.
Is he saying you have a madman in charge of the white house? If that is the cause the military better move quick and remove this individual.This General is a ex Marine people you don’t mess with.
And American almost re:elected this madman! Let that sink in!!!
The sad truth…
#45 has always been deranged and add GOP Fox News and 70 million Americans.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Trump orders a Military strike against Iran watch out
wowhttps://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
@Tom Before the election is certified and transition has begun?
Wouldn’t take a bet on this.
The military would defy the order
@M G One would think..
Iran? More like…USA any day now
The general is exactly correct. This scenario is looking like the prelude to a coup.
@Carol Miller it ain’t like that
@Alpha Omega If it’s the military they have bases all over the country. This will all depend on the loyalty of those people to their community vs the treasonist pres. They are trained to OBEY. I’d be very concerned if I were you.
@Carol Miller it an’t like that
@Carol Miller No. I don’t own a gun. Well had one in the military. Half of those that do have a in would probably shoot themselves in the face.
Don’t be afraid. Trump makes noise. Nothing else.
@Alpha Omega 70 million will, 10 million more than in 2016
It looks like you all Americans don’t have no idea what to do with one man
Chill. Trust me, the career professionals aren’t napping.
I agree, Americans treat trump like a spoilt child, when he is a crazy dangerous man, with a load of power. Be careful USA
@Janet Clough I cannot agree enough with you. The idea of settling in and waiting this out til Trump “processes” the fact that he lost does not sound right to me. Not at all.
We know what to do! We just have congresspeople who were elected to serve the people, who only serve themselves and their own interests. They are little frightened people afraid of a crazy man whose tweets are all powerful in controlling them. THEY ARE THE IDIOTS. More than half of us voted for Biden because we DO UNDERSTAND what has to be done.
Exactly! We learnt lessons from Hitler. And here Trump is attempting the exact same thing! Remove him. 25th amendment!!!
It is really painful to see what America come to
yes we deserve so much better
And we voted “much better” into office! Now we just need to survive until January 20th, on OH so many fronts!
1-20-21 will be here before we know it. All we need to do is keep our eyes on our prize but in the meantime, please don’t worry. Trump just trying to scare us but it’s actually that orange punk who’s actually scared. We got this you guys. I’m not just talking to my fellow Americans, I’m talking to all of my other brothers and sisters around our beautiful planet.☺
*Once again, be prepared for a military coup d’etat to overthrow the republic into a gestapo regime AKA WW3 Germany reborn. Remember the concentration camps … it’s unfolding.*
It’s tragic.
Trump is preparing for a coup.
The coup may bite him where the sun doesn’t shine. Things are in place for his intentions.
If you are reading this trump you will pay very dearly you can bet that
I’ve been thinking that when he fired the head of the nuclear stock pile…
😰😰😰😒😒😒
Trump will start a war and put our soldiers and citizens in harms way just to stay in office.
Starting a war won’t keep him in office, his term ends at 12 noon, 20 January, period…..per Constitution.
@Dan Newth Sorry, a war will not keep him in office! On January 20, 2021, he’s out! Thank God
@M G What horse sh@t. Do you think the constitution was written by God?? He has proven over and over, institutions and their charter, mean nothing to him.
@M G Per the War Powers Act the threat of or actual war can attain him an additional six months. Dershowitz also penned an article for “The Hill” in Jan. that laid out martial law and elections. This is planned, and there is nothing accidental about any of it. Add in the arms/jets/bomb sales to Taiwan, UAE, and Israel (who can broker elsewhere), all being pushed right now. Trump Co. already purchased an island in UAE. Halkbank and Deutschebank issues are still at the forefront, and MBS is being sued by Khashoggi’s fiancee. The election flurry is for ready spending capital for his pocket and diversion, while the real action is being implemented. It is more than just him that will go to jail. The Senate will not stand in the way. If McConnell’s arm is not from Remdesivir, then he was worked over. They need to ignore the memo and courtesy, and file indictments. It’s out of hand. I’d prefer he go to Gitmo for sedition, treason, and operating as a foreign agent, but that’s my perspective.
@M G You need to watch the TED talk called “What happens if a President loses an election and refuses to leave?”
Come talk to me after you do…..
Charge Trump with Treason.
Hard to believe this is even happening… It’s what nightmares are made of
I would say this has already been a 4 year nightmare
Take trumps power away or face the consequences of his recklessness, it’s that simple.
@IncognitoTorpedo America has voted and voted him out.
@angelaggie dom The Dictator is above the law.
Dictators don’t need elections.
@Jack Boot Trump is above the law. Vladimir Putin is a dictator and Russia holds elections. A president is supposed to have 2 terms in office but Putin has decided to be above the law declares that he is a life president. Check out how he deals with his opponents.
@Epic Story no, it isn’t
There comes a moment in every paradigm shift where the innocent co-conspirators are faced with reality. Americans will be Americans, that’s what we do
but know your enemy, for sure. I can denenestrate bannon anywhere on this planet – same with any of the pretenders to power. WHy can’t you? That is powerlessness, and NOT acceptable in our country nomatter republic or democratic republic
Underestimate at your own peril. This must be quashed hard and fast.
Uh. I don’t want to think you’re right but look at how the transfer of power has gone since the election?
agreed
Now today!!!!, If they dont act now america will live too regret it,trump is fighting for his life he knows he is going too jail
Breaking Now !!! Trump has contacted ” Two Men & Truck” a moving company in Tulsa to help him pack his bags back to Florida. 👍
I would never trust the Senate to do anything. Have they stopped him so far?? Nope
they had better….this is dragging out way too long…
the ones who voted for trump😝 actually think he has won…
Biggest con job ever
Conning America
👹👎
Go Georgia 👍🏽
Republican senators, either weak or complicit – how do you build a democracy on that.
@Katherine Raven • A poll just showed only 3% think Trump won. 79% think Biden won. Some aren’t sure.
An unqualified president putting unqualified people in highly sensitive positions.
*Once again, be prepared for a military coup d’etat to overthrow the republic into a gestapo regime AKA WW3 Germany reborn. Remember the concentration camps … it’s unfolding.*
@Epic Story Get Ready for Treason Trials soon after
@1603jamestown it is great to see that there are smart people like you left, and not all are sheeple.
With 72 million people supporting him!
In a position to send dangerous orders to the local forces….
Expect Trump to explore the outer boundaries of his power until Jan 20.
wowhttps://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
I predicted scorched earth. I was praying I’d be wrong, but it’s not looking that way
If the US saw what the US is doing, the US would send the troops to the US to save the US from the US
Well said 👍🏽
Well said
100 percent
Trump is trying to build a proud boy army to protect himself and attempt a coup.
If a sitting President loses their reelection, they should immediately lose all power of the oval office. Power should temporarily be transferred to Congress until the new President is sworn in.
For 244 years we haven’t had to worry about that. But you’re right, now the ‘norms’ no longer apply. People keep sitting around and doing nothing, thinking the ‘norms’ will keep him in check.
Also time to look into how Presidents have way too much power, with ineffective checks on their misbehavior in the Constitution.
Not a bad idea…
America, listen to this man!.. He’s NOT wrong
