So much for people who didn't believe the warnings that Trump is a fascist who admires Hitler.
You're viewing a single thread.
The Trump transition team is considering a draft executive order that establishes a “warrior board” of retired senior military personnel with the power to review three- and four-star officers and to recommend removals of any deemed unfit for leadership.
Doesn't the Commander in Chief already have that authority?
Yes, and this is the exercise of that power. In practice, most of the things the President has power to do is delegated, and doubly so when Trump is lazy as shit. Executive Orders are the process of delegating those powers and setting guidelines.
This just isn't normally done because Presidents usually aren't afraid that their illegal orders will be ignored.
This sounds like an advisory council.
Like that orange idiot would take anyone's advice ;-)
The point isn't to take advice; it's to push responsibility and blame onto somebody else.
I set up a panel of people that I can fire when they don't tell me that I should fire the people I already want to fire.

Oh he'll take advice that he likes.
Are you kidding? Have you ever heard of the Federalist Society?
Fucking goddammit this country is so fucking stupid we deserve to perish
Actually no, I've not heard of them. I'm not American, can I get a TL;DR? From connect in guessing some kind of "think tank"?
