Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

The commander of the arm of the U.S. military responsible for President Donald Trump's illegal military occupations of American cities said he is willing to conduct attacks on so-called designated terrorist organizations within the U.S. This startling admission comes after months of extrajudicial killings of alleged members or affiliates of DTOs in the waters near Venezuela, which experts and lawmakers say are outright murders.

More: Gen. Gregory Guillot of U.S. Northern Command, a four-star general who takes his orders from War Secretary Pete Hegseth, made clear his position in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee last week. When asked about his willingness to attack DTOs within U.S. borders by Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., he replied: "If I had questions, I would elevate that to the chairman and the secretary. ... And if I had no concerns and I was confident in the lawful order, I would definitely execute that order."

Guillot's openness about the potential for unprecedented military action within U.S. borders comes as the White House, Pentagon, and Justice Department continue to refuse to rule out summary executions of Americans on Trump's secret enemies list, after weeks of requests for clarifications from The Intercept.

While he did say that he would follow lawful orders to strike an enemy within US borders, he went on to call out Trump's lies about Antifa, the US media, protestors and any other enemy Trump has declared by saying that the military has no "indications of an enemy within"

DHS is buying military ordnance, including chemical munitions.

And if perchance some US military personnel become reluctant to strike a domestic target, the racist, well-paid masked thugs of the ICE Sturmabteilung will.

*** Dry Drunk War Criminal Bleats About Making God and Chaplains Great Again ***

"In an atmosphere of political correctness and secular humanism, chaplains have been minimized, viewed by many as therapists instead of ministers. Faith and virtue were traded for self-help and self-care. If you need proof, just look at the current Army Spiritual Fitness Guide. In well over 100 pages, it mentions God one time. That's it. It mentions feelings' 11 times. It even mentions playfulness,' whatever that is, nine times. There's zero mention of virtue. The guide relies on new age notions. These types of training materials have no place in the War Department. Our chaplains are chaplains, not emotional support officers, and we're going to treat them as such."

Why does Trump want to Wage war on Americans?

Why did America elect a Man who wants Absolute Power to do anything to anyone at anytime?

Trump was clearly a criminal for years.

It's not a secret. It's out in the open. He won anyway.

The people of this country are too Stupid to rule themselves. They chose the most braindead Autocrat available.

Biden didn't go after Trump when he tried to steal the 2020 election.

Why?

That is the source of all these problems.

Rule of law doesn't exist for the President.

It's been the case for a long time.

Trump just showed how deep the Rot really is.

My pet theory about President's never being prosecuted by their successors is that the new President fears the same treatment themselves and they like having extra powers available.

So they just let criminals walk.

It becomes unsustainable after a while though.

Eventually you get a Trump type who goes full Al Capone.
