Most likely a general (no pun intended) purge of anyone displaying anything other than absolute fealty to Trump. If there’s anything the Trump II administration has proven, it’s that Trump can install the most unqualified hacks in prominent positions of power and business in DC will continue as usual. So they get rid of any general that sees a contradiction in “putting Trump first is putting America first” and replace them with whomever Trump found entertaining on Fox News this week.
That’s why Kash Patel always looks like that. He knows he’s completely unqualified and out of his depth. And he’s the director of the FBI. Love to see it.
Wonder if they told him about aliens and made him eat a baby on camera or something.
I mean, business as usual can only continue when that happens up to a certain point. Once you reach a critical mass of morons, the whole thing grinds to a halt.
Eventually, yes. The problem is that it rarely happens the moment the grifter that broke the camel’s back get hired. It’s more like 6, 12, 18 months down the line when some critical function that had held together with duct tape and promises suddenly goes belly up, and then it’s a cascade of “to fix X, we need to fix Y first, and to fix Y we need to fix Z first, and we fired the last people who know how Y and Z actually work a year ago.”
Right. It’s a cascade that gets tipped off with some random thing going wrong or new challenge. But it’s inevitable eventually. In a way we’re extremely lucky that this round of fascists haven’t understood that you need institutions to oppress people

I’m firing the disloyal. An example is Major Buck Wild Williams is now gonna be a top guy. Maybe my most top guy. Effective immediately - now on the joint chiefs and I’m making him a five star general - People say that I can’t. But I can. I’m the president. I can do anything. I saw him on Fox. Loud! Strong and powerful. Social media good. Very, very good. Many, many good things about Trump. The best part is that Buck Wild Williams is his real name. Not a nickname. It’s on his birth certificate. It’s that magic name thing: name determinism. ‘Determinism’ great word. Destiny.
Anyone who ranks above major in the military is likely to have delusions of grandeur and their major career goal is becoming a general. It’s taken people decades of their lives to climb up that high in the ranks, so they don’t want to do anything that might jeopardize their career, and they want to lessen the competition for promotion.
the only thing i would expect enough disloyalty among middle/upper leadership to consider command failure would be active military deployment inside the US. and not like reserves/national guard stuff like we’ve seen. that would probably require a sudden and decisive purge.
short of that, maybe if they wanted to premeptively nuke another nuclear power, there might be a confab ahead of time to find out who in the chain might hesitate to be a warrior for christ and murder a billion people because some drunk radio shock jock woke up with a hangover.
The brass would absolutely rebel against a war with China, it’s the exact opposite of US military strategy
Here are the things they would definitely need to clean house for: large scale violation of posse comitatus, war with China, or nukes. Even a war with Venezuela is a tough sell given proximity to home.
but in preparation for what? do they really expect mass disloyalty if they invade venezuela? china?

Can’t wait to see Judge Janine to get two bottles of sherry in her and ride into battle on the back of a MRAP screaming about Mrs Potatohead
Tagline please

The Burger Reich prefers a franchised model of fascism to a corporate-run one.

Good question, they have no push back on anything they want. Natural fascist desire to eat each other?
Yes.
