Why? Do you think taking away the livelihood and then prosecuting, terrorizing, and tormenting a bunch of FBI, CIA and military people (including 5 star generals) with the best training, connections, and access to weaponry in the world is a bad idea or something?

It's not like people trained during a lifetime to fight, kill and sabotage would ever band together and be able to do massive damage to a country that decimated its own intelligence and security infrastructure because its orange dictator has a small peepee.

Four star generals. There are no living five star generals.

Good point. Are you saying that if this admin keeps canning sworn constitutional officers (just doing their jobs for the American people) who uphold high standards of ethics and personal conduct, enforce our laws, defend our country and the Constitution, veterans working as Feds, etc, it’s possible that the current admin may usher in the means for the first successful American coup? I’m concerned for our country.

Well said. Especially the small peepee. But this is something his supporters cannot comprehend. Threaten and antagonise Americans, destroy institutions, undermine the entire country but expect zero pushback? If people believe their country is being led by a fascist authoritarian ready to persecute and oppress, then what do they think is gonna happen? People won’t just sit idly by

Scary thing to post… Funny the Biden admin did so much work defining what domestic enemies look like. Would suck to see that definition turn around on you..

On an unrelated note, what did Saddam's soldiers do when Bremer sent them home?
