    I’m posting the juicy bit because this website has some cancerous ads and anti-Adblock bullshit.

    ”Quick civics lesson: a core principle of American democracy is civilian control of the military,” declared Miller, a former Trump speechwriter.

    Sherrill shot back. “Gee, thanks Stephen. Here’s a civics lesson for you,” she offered.

    “10 U.S.C. § 152 lays out the qualifications for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. These guidelines ensure the most experienced, capable officers (like General Brown) are protecting our national security and our country. Ignoring the guidelines and firing JAGs suggests the administration is attempting to build a military of loyalists focused less on our safety and more on loyalty to MAGA and Trump.”

      If this was really a core value the House would confirm these appointments. Not that it would matter with this Congress, and also we shouldn’t have fixed number of districts.

    Hate really does age a person, doesn’t it? Miller is a little over a year younger than me but looks at least 10 years my senior (I’m not baby-faced either).

      It’s not so much the baldness or the blotchy skin as the total dead-eyed Putin thing he has going on.

        The same dead-eyed Cossack serial baby rapist look that Jared Kushner shares.

    I know you haven’t served and your experience is mainly in speechwriting, so hopefully this is helpful, you stupid fucking Muppet." FTFY

    Why are we naming the Trump stooges and not the opposition humiliating them in titles of articles?

    "Explaining how the military’s top brassusually are not replaced by incoming Commanders-in Chief, Sherrillwarned: “Trump and Hegseth are trying to gut the military’s leadership so they can use the armed forces to carry out their personal, political agenda. This move will threaten America’s national security, show weakness to dictators worldwide like Vladimir Putin, and give Donald Trump unchecked power to abuse our military.” "

    A civilian is subject to civilian penalties for breaking civilian laws. Trump no longer qualifies as one based on this, please correct ASAP.
