There’s a Lot More Behind Biden’s Removal of Service Academy Board Members
Right-wingers and Trump’s media loudmouths are howling after the Biden administration ousted 18 Trump appointees from service academy boards, calling the ouster a “power grab” and “politicizing the service academies”. Well, it’s just the opposite. What most media is not reporting is that Biden’s move is part of his effort to clean up the open sewer Trump left behind when he finally vacated office on January 20th.
The rest of this story is this – after Trump lost the election, his acting secretary of defense, Christopher Miller (you know, the guy who refused to send the national guard to the Capitol on January 6th), ousted dozens of academy and other board members and replaced them with Trump loyalists. He packed the boards of at least 3 service academies as well as the Defense Business Board and added HUNDREDS of Trump appointees to boards within the DOD on 42 boards in all. To contain the damage, new defense secretary Lloyd Austin suspended all board activities to do a “zero based review” of all the boards that Trump polluted with partisan, cronies, and loyalists. Biden’s move to oust 18 Trump appointees is just a part of the massive cleanup underway at DOD and other departments Trump infested.
Now you know the rest of the story.
I hope we get a full report on the January 6th insurrection and it will include details on people like Christopher Miller. A serious dose of truth is needed!
1Thanks for this…I was wondering what it was all about, but had already thought it odd that anyone like Kellyanne Conway would be appointed to such a position. Turns out it was good ole’ “scorched earth” tactics…salting the ground on which Carthage was built…except that it was a self-proclaimed Carthaginian who did it.
2Questions: Who did Miller oust? Is there a “term” for service, i.e. years? If there is a term of service, did the people who Miller ousted serve out their terms? Inquiring minds would like answers to the flip side of this manufactured right-wing outrage.
3Pretty much all the moves trumpf made on his way out were scorched earth, like sabotaging the visa process for most Afghanistanis that helped the US during the war. The right wing mouthpieces were fine with that and now of course blame Biden. Of course they do.
4Frankly, most of his cabinet and other appointees during his administration were intended to burn down the federal government.
The right wing mouthpieces were all good with trumpf’s blatantly unqualified and politically motivated appointments. And now are yelling bloody murder when they’re removed. Of course they do.
The ***king moron left the boulder not only at the bottom of Bullchip Mountain, his maladministration dug a a huge pit and buried it. President Biden and Vice President Harris have been doing most everything humanly possible repair the damage.
Today the President came out to leave the antivaxxer maskholes to the mercy of their employers. Vax it or exit. The covidiots have no one but themselves to blame.
5When a spoiled brat smashes his toys, take the rest of them away! Golf clubs and money!
6I think Trump has a super alter-ego. His super name is “The Underminer,” and nothing is beneath him.
7Great comments above. TFG is trying to foment a civil war and it looks as if his plan is working well.
8Wow! I hope this was just a warm up for getting DeJoy out of the Post Office position!
9I wondered about the rest of the story. Thanks for this!
10And then let’s move on to fixing the Supreme Court!
