The sky is falling! — "These are dictator moves"

American Stalin romps?

 

Business Insider published this drivel today:

 

 

President Donald Trump is continuing to replace senior defense officials with loyalists, creating alarm in the Pentagon that his rapid overhaul of key staffers could undermine national security.

 

There is reportedly a growing concern in the Pentagon that the flurry of personnel changes could just the beginning and that Trump's decision-making could become more volatile as he continues to refuse to concede the election to President-elect Joe Biden.

 

"This is scary. It's very unsettling," a defense official told CNN, adding, "These are dictator moves."

 

Rep. Adam Smith, the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said [that:]

 

"It is hard to overstate just how dangerous high-level turnover at the Department of Defense is during a period of presidential transition," he said.

 

"The top policy professional in the Department resigning the day after the Secretary of Defense was fired could mark the beginning of a process of gutting the DoD — something that should alarm all Americans."

Notice that no one indicates how these changes will imperil security

 

Nor why (next president) Biden would not be able to undo them.

 

Nor do we get any indication as to why combatant commanders, the only ones that really matter, would not ignore Trumpian orders that undermine the reigning Plutocratic Imperium or the Pretend American Democracy.

 

In other words, Business Insider's story is (yet more) Deep State and Democratic Party propaganda that is intended to continue assailing President Trump.

 

Once Trump is out of office, the Establishment will pick some other target (or "mission") to continue scaring Americans into subservient compliance.

 

 

The moral? — This is going to be a very tiresome two months of presidential transition

 

Should we agree to drown the American lamestream in the nearest toilet? The nation would be immensely improved without its propagandizing nonsense.

 

And don't get me started on what we should do with the Fake Party of Opposition.

 

A whole bunch of current anti-Trumpers are eventually going to miss Trump's narcissistic brand of blended (go-nowhere) incompetence and occasionally displayed common sense.
