Hegseth Ousts Air Force Chief as Trump Purges Top Military Brass (Daily Beast)
Headlines like this one scare me, and the fear of Trump’s plan to finalize his coup against American democracy makes me shudder. Purging the military of seasoned officers whose job has been to protect Americans and replacing them with Trump’s own officers, who will most willingly pledge to protect his fascist intentions, is one more nail in the coffin of a free nation.
Allvin is the latest top military leader to be pushed out since Trump returned to the White House in January. The president has already purged former Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Linda Lee Fagan, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Lisa Franchetti, and General C.Q. Brown as chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. (Daily Beast)
Where can we turn when it seems all the guardrails, the checks and balances, have been dismantled and disconnected? Republicans control the Congress, and., to the person, are terrified to vote against any plan or purpose proposed by Trump. The Heritage Foundation’s Supreme Court majority favors the Christian Nationalist Bible over the US Constitution. Media corporations kowtow to the censorship of Trump’s machinations, and even universities seem to cower and acquiesce to the fascist whims of a wanna be King.
