Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Yeah, where are all those generals that were fired so ignominiously? Why aren't they speaking out?
I have been harboring a fantasy that they're deliberately lying low. They know MAGA is virtuosically incompetent, and if they stay quiet, MAGA will forget about them. In the meantime, they are talking to each other, and making plans for the moment that Trump decides he's staying in office, no matter what the elections say. Then they'll make their move.
Maybe it's a fantasy, but these guys spent their entire lives devoted to protecting this country, and they know a traitor and an enemy when they see one. Their silence speaks very loudly. I think it's a much better chance that they are planning, and not just sitting on the lanai, sipping cocktails as the country they defended burns down around them.
Because they don't want to lose their 7 figure 'consultant' job at a private military contractor that every general officer has waiting for them when they retire.
Most generals in the modern US military are jut like CEOs and billionaires; ie they simply wouldn't get that high on the latter without being a slimy piece of shit.
