CitizenVectron Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 As someone unfamiliar with the US chain of command, is the President allowed to intervene at lower levels like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I'm sure he's allowed to do pretty much whatever... he is the Commander in Chief... but the message this sends is just gross. Hey, I'm cool with war crimes. I've got your back soldiers, do all the atrocities you want when I'm in charge! I'm the tough guy bone spurs president! He's such a spineless gutless coward. Just 6 feet of shit piled high. What a detestable hated-filled fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 The letter Navy Secretary Spencer wrote is pretty damning. What are the chances that Trump even knows any details about this SEAL or his case? I was kinda curious as to how the Fox News crowd would paint this story, since it seems like a Navy Admirable appointed to his post by Trump would be a admirable figure. I shouldn't be surprised that, no matter your record or your service, disagreeing with Trump is the one unforgivable offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Apparently the Fox News crowd were the first one's to start on in this story and Commander BoneSpurs only got involved after it was being talked about on TV. I'm not sure on the details because I'm not paying that much attention because it just makes me crazy. I'm sure if Obama did the 100% exact same thing Fox News would going completely apocalyptic over it. Obama supports war criminals! He violates the established order! He has no respect for the military! But because it's their asshole in charge, they all have to pretend it's okay. It's disgusting and anyone who works at Fox News should feel ashamed over what they've turned into. It's a fucking joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what they've always been... in fact this is actually what Fox was created for. Roger Ailes has said that if Fox existed in the 70's, Nixon wouldn't have had to resign. Fox providing cover for Trump is it's intended purpose and is precisely its function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Listen, at this point the entire GOP machine (which at this point encompasses Fox News as well as around 95% of small-c conservatives in the US) exists on a single premise: Whatever Trump currently wants, that is the truth, and is our policy. If, six months from now, Trump decided that Spencer was a great guy and appointed him as Secretary of Defense, Fox and all small-c conservatives in the US would herald it as a brilliant decision, and say that Spencer is an inspiring man. The past and future don't matter to followers, only the present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HC followers won’t/don’t get info anywhere else so to them it jut doesn’t exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Trump wants to campaign with convicted war criminals, but Bernie and Liz wanting to soak the rich and expand social spending.
