Esper Out
Forums:
Trump fired Secretary of Defense Mark Esper via Tweet earlier today.
Trump has not been happy with Esper every since he refused to invoke the Insurrection Act and send in the military to quell racial justice protests over the summer. Might be an interesting next 72 days.

Trump doesn't have a dog he can kick, and somebody has got to pay for his enormous failure.

Esper pushed back on Trump's
Esper pushed back on Trump's using military forces against american protesters. Trump's courts about to throw out just enough ballots for Trump to win?? These republicans are so corrupt & Trump is such a grifter stealing from us for the last 4 years to the point they can't be investigated by Pelosi House for the next two years especially if Mitch passes on legislation & instead gets his federal court packing turnstiles going Nancy could investigate for next 2 years to help dems discredit Senate GOP ahead of 2022 senate flip.
Did Fox Network try to bait other networks into calling states the fastest with Arizona call in order to discredit other networks ahead of a Biden wins call?

The fact that he fired
The fact that he fired someone on a Monday, rather than his usual Friday, is a sign of his decline.

If memory serves he does a lot of crap after the primetime news on friday, then does other shit over the weekend so what he did friday is lost in the static

Oh yeah, Judit. In the first
Oh yeah, Judit. In the first few years there was an axing almost every Friday. He dominated the weekend news cycles.
It has died down in the last year because he's already replaced most cabinet positions at least 2 times, and there's nobody left to fire.
This Monday move has got to be his unique way of trying to look "presidential." It's all he's got.
The guy is going out disgraced and dejected. It's fantastic.

Oh, absolutely. The difference is, on the Zone they always come back. That dude is history. I bet that he won't even be invited to presidential alumni events in the future.

This may very well be another move in his plan to steal the election. He has Barr telling the DOJ to investigate the imaginary fraud. Trump's going to need a defense secretary who is willing to use active duty military to silence the anticipated protests.

In the last 24 hours, the Secretary of Defense (SecDef), the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy (USD-P), and the Under Secretary of Defense for Intell (OUSD-I) have been sacked. Trump loyalist now sit in the 1, 3, and 4 slots at DOD. Kash Patel is DOD Chief of Staff. Why?

I think I read that Biden said that one of his first actions as president will be to get us back into the Paris Agreement.
