These guys keep providing me super timely and apropos fuel for my arguments about the structure of the next Trump administration.
Appearing on CNN, former Defense Secretary Mark Esper outlines his greatest concern that within our constitutionally provided civilian-led military structure, a President Trump Defense Secretary might actually be loyal to the Commander in Chief.
In his own words, Mark Esper views this possibility as a very serious problem. I’m not kidding, WATCH (prompted):
.
Perhaps people might understand why I wrote:
[…] “Many people understandably freak out with a Def Sec with no experience in military. However, the Def Sec is designed to be civilian led military; the President is the commander in chief. The Def Sec executes military efforts to support the President. This is the problem with having career military as Def Sec, they regard the institution as more important than the instructions they receive. [See Mark Milley and/or James Mattis and/or Alexander Vindman, they go rogue.] The U.S. military needs to be managed now, brought to heel and Wokeism removed.” (MORE)
pompeo, esper and milley 3 cowardly insurrectionists!
What they did by branching out without authority = presidential – is treason!!
execute these pricks
I got banned from Twitter for saying as much.
me too
Execute the censors at twitter.
Call Musk or whatever his name is? I don’t use X or Twitter
I was banned for calling Savannah Guthrie a dumb broad for how she interviewed the Covington teen. Turned out I was right and they lost millions over that.
That’s nothing, I was banned at Facebook for posting newspaper articles. And I’m presently being censored at YouTube for just about anything I write about ANYTHING!
Why did Trump ever hire these backstabbing creeps?
Did not know bet better.
ditto for Barr and Wray! The swamp is deep, dark and murky.
Trump entered a totally corrupt DC environment believing there were at least some trustworthy players that could/would help to drain the swamp. His first term was like peeling an onion and discovering it was totally rotten to its core. Most of the creeps had a deceptive veneer of competence and integrity, but their elevation to high position revealed their utter contempt for the people, the President, the law, and every other good thing we hold dear. We now see everything much more clearly because they were outed by Trump.
Sadly, you have to be that kind of person who can “play the game” and thrive in Washington.
Thank God for inspiring men to put in place enough roadblocks, checks and balances in this form of government to help slow this kind of corruption down and empower the people to be able to do something about it.
A DHS employee told me over a decade ago that everybody was corrupt in DC. I hope that there are SOME good and honest people still there.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if Trump picked a number of people NOT at the top, but who were a little lower, and who could identify and expose the corruption at the top? Boy, I wonder what kind of fear that might engender.
forever wars we never win are the Mass Corruption Complex (includes the Military, Social, Media, Congressional, Corporate Complex embedded in China, Finance (Walls Street/City of London) business model
NEVER mess with Rich People’s Business Models
totally OK to virtue signal ALL day (DeSantis), but NEVER actually do anything to effect the bottom line of the Mass Corruption Complex
the Military’s purpose is a meat grinder and a third world destabilizer to generate replacement invaders for Western countries
got to destablize the third world, clear those zones for mineral and other resource extraction and drive this third worlders into Texas or Germany to crash the independent nation states of the west
got to create a world that is a combination of a prison and an airport shopping mall
Said Catholics supporting Biden & raising hell over abortion at same time were hypocrites, so Facebook cancelled me because someone complained. Took me back – so I canceled them.
Control & submission is the road to ruin.
More BS from CNN. The media in our country is that of a banana republic with the fruit already eaten by the leftist trolls.
My thanks to Sundance for listening to the garbage from cnn so that I don’t have to waste my time to listen and learn what those losers have to say or read what they write. IMESHO, hopefully cnn will follow the business strategy of cnn+.
I remember that strategy.
I believe Bud Light, Target, Disney, and Bed Bath and Beyond all followed it as well.
I wonder who is giving them the seminars. 🤣
Excellent comment! Maybe some MBA from the “Ivy league”??
I have a long list of all the woke scum we have been boycotting. If everyone boycotted like us they would be in their death throes by now. It would not surprise me if that “infrastructure” bill was propping up all the woke businesses from the backlash. Why anyone would watch any pro sport after watching them kneel like traitors and spit in our face is beyond logic. Things are not normal and will not get normal unless we have a united front. Our dollars are more powerful than our votes now. My dream is to see these sick woke companies collapse. If people can’t even divert their buying habits for change they deserve the pain that’s coming, and it’s coming. The debt to GDP is going parabolic.
We, MAGA, can taste the rot.
God bless President Trump.
The warped mindset, upside down thinking, aggressive attitudes and sense of entitlement of these “public servants”, is pervasive throughout. Want to see where a lot of this starts? Go view, on Youtube, etc., citizens who do what are called first amendment audits; especially at City/Town offices. This really is a disease and you will see how deeply it infects almost all of them. Start kicking ass locally and the Espers of the world will eventually be neutered.
“then President Trump remained silent on the issue for days.”
As did Congress, who should have been screaming about it.
President Trump remained silent because he did not own the situation, and did not want to become the owner.
Congress remained silent because it did own the situation, and did not want to advertise it was the owner.
Which should remind us that oligarchy is just as dangerous as dictatorship to our peace, prosperity, and liberty.
Superb point!
Which Comments Do you Expect from Mark Esper who Published these Memoirs last year?
Remarks by the President Trump at Swearing-In Ceremony of Mark Esper as Secretary of Defense – The White House (archives.gov)
A Sacred Oath review: Mark Esper on Trump, missiles for Mexico and more | Books | The Guardian
To Support and Defend: Principles of Civilian Control and Best Practices of Civil-Military Relations – War on the Rocks
All political power flows from it’s owner, the American People.
They loan their Executive Power to one man, a President they elect, who in turn lends some to lesser officials.
If Esper gets his power from some other source, that constitutes mutiny.
Biden has no legitimate authority because he was installed by traitors, not by the People.
Obama has no legitimacy because of his treason.
Bush lost his legitimacy by swearing allegiance to the Government, not to the People.
Carter lost his by claiming President Trump was illegitimate and his cowardice in failing to stand up to the others.
President Donald J. Trump is the only President of the United States of America recognized by Heaven. praise God!
“If Esper gets his power from some other source, that constitutes
mutinytreason.”How dare he put people loyal to America in charge! Esper needs to go to Prison for treason.
Their gaslighting has now been reversed onto themselves. The flames are starting to consume every inch. Let me add a high powered windmill or 2 to fan those flames
Down into hell they must go
Pompeo, Esper & Milley should all have been fired! Trump was far too gentle on those seditious, insubordinate weasels. People like that need to be made examples of what happens when you decide you are more important than the President.
President Trump simply showed us who Pompeo, Esper, and Milley were – perhaps for future reference by We the People. Can’t help but think there was magnificent strategy behind the way this was handled.
Not sure what Trump was thinking but it wasn’t 5D chess.
Milley is in my opinion the worst of the bunch. We depend on a military being run by a civilian. That’s why the President is also the Commander-in-Chief. All General Miley Cyrus is allowed to do is offer advice, then salute (don’t forget to salute, you jerk) and carry out his orders to the best of his ability.
The fact that he contacted the Chinese military for ANY REASON other than orders from the President earns him a blindfold and a last cigarette. I would be glad to force myself back into my old uniform to participate in the rest of that ceremony. Milley violated every cannon of an American officer’s obligations. Leavenworth would be much to nice to be his final resting place.
It makes me cringe to hear Esper talking about loyalty, or to even read Esper and Milley mentioned in the same sentence. Look around guys! You can see the fruit of your labor, and it is a completely broken DoD! And Esper, you can forget about Nikki Haley! She will never be there to grease your palms.
US Military 1945: ~12,500,000
Number of 4-Star generals/admirals: 15
US Military 2023:
~1,300,000
Number of 4-Star GO/FO: 41
We seem a bit…ahh… “top heavy”…
Speaking of heavy, Milley was the fattest sack of crap I’ve ever seen with stars on his epaulets.
Keep waiting to see him in a long-haired wig and a dress…
I’m pretty sure he’s a furry.
My guess is dog mask and leather leash.
New England prep school classmate of Richard Levine.
And, Milley is obese. Austin is super obese. Those two “generals” couldn’t hold a candle to real generals. They are symbols of how America went wrong.
They are worthless “Generals” with participation medals. They are just bureaucratic political operatives in a uniform with zero combat experience. Add our worthless 50 year career politicians and the US looks more like the Soviet Union before its collapse.
Perhaps some might understand that corrupt people and/or those with ties to the deep state will do what they are directed to regardless of what their career background might be – just as they can be highly capable people who put their nation and her people before ANY organization regardless of their career path. It’s similar to understanding that not all people of any group – be they based on ethnicity, race, educational level, political party, occupation, physical attributes, or other criteria of a generalized nature signifies a damn thing about their character, integrity, ideals, beliefs, or potential.
Then of course there are the examples, like the treasonous obese SOB below, that some like to hold up as the definition of an entire group.
Gen Raising Kane, for Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Any # of Civilians could be acceptable as Civilian leadership, so long as they make it clear the corruption party is over
Milley has twice the girth of the China general and a fat, puffy face. He was probably out of breath when he completed the red-carpet walk. It’s no wonder most mainland Chinese see America as past its prime and ran by corrupt, undisciplined softees.
The problem is he does represent the entire establishment. Look at that imbecilic woke army cartoon recruiting video as an example of the rot. Whoever approved that POS should be waterboarded.
Traitor. Your tribunal will be WAAAAY shorter than your execution.
When Barr and Durham competed their European tour, cleaning up all of the remnants of evidence of the coup plotters work to create smoke without fire for the “Insurance policy”,…their debrief was not with PDJT, it was with Mitchs second in command, ladybug Lindsey Graham.
When the WH Council realised there was ONE unredacted copy of the 11″ thick dossier unaccounted for,..they immediately reported it to the SSCI.
ALL of the redistance against “Trump” originated from Republicant leadership.
Better to run the DOD with a treasonous ‘Camel Commitee’ or the elected CIC, POTUS?
Makes you wonder how we haven’t imploded as a nation yet with demented screwballs like this running the show.
It’s probably only because the Controligarchy imagines they can manage the timing in their favor.
Sort of like a two-year-old with a lit match…
More like a teenager given a bottle of whisky and the keys to your truck, lol.
True.
It started slow but now has picked up speed.
Kaitlin Collins is past his prime.
Has anybody else noticed that the country is broken and people are quite insane?
The sure sign is the denial of simple biology and reality.
Now the crazies are going to allow tranny dudes box women.
Something has contaminated the air, or water, or food. It’s too crazy to go on.
Xeno estrogens
Really? You don’t say! LOL!
This is CNN and all media, (was going to say Leftwing media, but there’s no difference), following the script – that Trump has a cult, his followers and his future potential pick at any cabinet blindly following him like an idolatry religious sect. Hence the much frequent use and overhyped of Hitler comparison.
Then CNN set out to pick people (granted, there are a tone of them out there) they can reinforce the Narrative. In this case, former Defense Secretary Mark Esper got chosen, and he dutifully followed the pre-set script.
After Hitler Narrative stops working on the MAGA base and ‘independents’, that is when the game really starts, and we should be more worried about because you never know what/how The Left would do to hold on to their power.
They have proven they’re willing to burn down thr world so that they can rule the ashes.
Replace CNN with CIA. There, fixed it.

Do these predictions sound realistic, or are they “sky is falling” ideas? In part they seem realistic, perhaps if true, the truth is very painful to accept and makes it difficult to know what any of us can do to protect ourselves.
I wish I could say otherwise, but I would be prepared for anything after what I witnessed during their fake Plandemic. That was only Act 1 of Dr. Evil’s planned shit show.
All part of creating the narrative: “Trump/supporters are a danger to democracy.”
Never mind that the US is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy, and that was by design. Apparently, the majority of Americans are not aware of this, or much of anything else aside from their bread and circuses de jour.
The CNN talking head in the photo looks more manly than Bruce Gender.
We are falling down the rabbit hole, fast.
Their version of “democracy” is the North Korean version of it. They can shove their democracy.
PDJT/we are a danger to their oligarchic kleptocratic kakistocracy.
“This is the problem with having career military as Def Sec, they regard the institution as more important than the instructions they receive.” There are plenty of veterans who are experts and see these traitorous fools for what they are. Like in the other areas, the “establishment” is the enemy of the people, revolving door and all.
The Pentagon kicked out some 8,500 thinking guys. I’m not so sure what’s left are loyal to citizens or the Constitution. They kept who Austin/Milley wanted – not good.
I’ll take over the military and straighten this mess out.
Wow! What’s wrong with being loyal to America? Traitor.
All of these people look so ridiculous now. They become worse when they open their mouths. Look at those three up at the podium. So proud of themselves while they preside over the end of the empire of lies. While they bluster on we should consider that there are serious people like Col. Macgregor who think that we might not even be able to handle the Houthis at this point with the military these people helped build.
Yet the people at the top preach that we are likely to go to war with the Russia, China and Iran all at the same time. Their BS is not remotely credible anymore and everyone with an IQ higher than 70 knows it.
Every time, every way these disloyal corrupt POS’s enjoy their hubris
As always: “Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt”
Ain’t that the truth.
These arrogant fkers don’t care what we think anymore. Why is any of this even happening? There is no reason for any of this. People need to wake up and realize we are being manipulated by a bunch of inbred psychopaths who got tired of plucking the wings off flies and torturing small animals and moved on to torturing humans. Once you come to this realization everything starts making sense.
Yep. If they just wanted power they would be doing many things differently. The only explanation is that they are also psychopaths.
Gee, What a concept! Pres. Trump wanted loyalty from his Cabinet, a Sec. of Defence, a Sec. of State, and a Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff who actually do what he wants! This is a novel concept …
Always MAGA 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
“Our constitutionally provided civilian-led military structure”.
Republicans seem particularly bad about understanding this. We do have a military that reports to civilians, of course we do.
I have seen far, far too many “conservatives” complain about candidates for president not having served in the military, as if that were qualification and even a prerequisite.
Look at all the problems Donald Trump had because he assumed generals and such would be super-patriotic.
We also have a government that answers to the people – of course we do…
Look at all the problems this nation had because people assumed their fellow citizens, whom had never been ‘tainted’ with military service, would uphold the oaths they swore to defend and protect the Constitution and the ideals and concepts it embodies to represent the citizens of this nation. Even PDJT incorrectly assumed that life-long civilians whom had repeatedly sworn said oath would be above reproach and be super-patriotic, having worked in 3-letter agencies.
This insubordinate weasel actually made it to Lt. Col. in the Army. So, when PDJT is back in, he can activate Esper and Milley, bust them to buck Private for their insubordination and other crimes.
Let them break rocks at Leavenworth.
Were there true justice, Milley would have been court marshalled and removed of his rank prior to sitting a few years in the brig.
These liars and seditionists are the real insurrectionists. IF and WHEN we finally get a decent Prez and decent AG, these morons need to be punished for malfeasance and sedition.
The DC bureaucrats are starting to act like murderers on death row with their dates approaching.
If the next Sec of Defense is loyal to President Trump, then he will be loyal to our Constitution and Loyal to ALL who serve under him! He will stand for what our Military should stand for..He will stand for God, Country, the Defense or our Country! He will not allow woke equity hires or lower Military training standards. He will clean out the tumbleweed in the officer corps and in DC! If the next Sec of Defense is loyal to President Trump, he will be loyal to AMERICA!
Ask Joe if Trump should be removed from all state ballots. He would grin and say yes and vote for me the lone presidential candidate on the ballot.
WHAT???? What world is this guy living in? The democrat party must be ABSOLUTELY ABOLISHED and DESTROYED if America is to survive. The enemy is within…
Sundance left out the possibility of the incident they “responded” to being a false flag.
He also left out the possibility of them being involved in launching the pandemic.
The Deep State and DC suburbs in MD and VA are justifiably terrified that their game is up. Trump, Flynn, Cash Patel, and others know who and where all of the bad boys and girls are and how they rigged the government against the people.
Soon ‘Truth, Justice and the American Way’ will be returned in our Constitutional Republic.
Hey Mark? Consume feces and expire. Okay?
Let his words be his death warrant.
God knows the last one sure as hell wasn’t. Trump ran on draining the swamp and hired every one he could find. I don’t expect any change this time. After all, Trump is a Pro abortion, pro Tranny NYC liberal. Trump doesn’t care if queer men compete against women in women’s sports. I HATE TO TELL YOU!
What a load of lyin’ BS!
He’s a very toxic individual.
“next Trump administration” – well, with 10+ Million Illegals and counting, plus another (5, 10, 15 M?) “got-aways,” untold not tracked at all, coming in, and getting on the voter rolls, it’s gonna be a fun ride to create another Trump admin.
“There is a great deal of talk about loyalty from the bottom to the top. Loyalty from the top down is even more necessary and much less prevalent. One of the most frequently noted characteristics of great men who have remained great is loyalty to their subordinates.”
- – GEN George S. Patton
THIS ^^^^^ is precisely where each and every one of these Beltway sh*tweasels is an epic fail.
It is shocking to see how effectively the mendacious corporate media has created a massive intellectually inbred society among those who assume it is their exclusive role to rule this our so-called republic.
Jesus will hold every Christian accountable for paying taxes
And in support of Mark Esper’s fears, General Mike Flynn, Clay Clark and Alex Jones explains how “our” military is being directed in a “stupid war”.
https://rumble.com/v43u91t-general-flynn-issues-emergency-warning-on-the-alex-jones-show.html
How disgusting !
Imagine having a legitimately elected President & the Secretary of Defense & others being loyal to him!
Wait a minute! I must be missing something. I need to see if I can rationalize what I said.
It’s gotta be FNS (Fake News System) eating holes in my brain.
