Donald Trump Has Named His Successor

Sen. Mark Kelly (D. Ariz.) is a retired Astronaut and Navy Captain. During his vaunted career in the navy, he flew 39 combat missions during Desert Storm. He and five other members of Congress angered President Trump recently when they told US service members to refuse to follow illegal orders. On his own social media platform, Trump called them all "traitors" and accused them of "SEDITIOUS BEHAVOR, punishable by DEATH!" Trump lemming Pete Hegseth, ever eager to please the boss, wants Kelly recalled to active duty and court-martialed. 

I believe Trump has actually just named his successor. 

Kelly is exactly what this country needs, a centrist who is willing to and has worked with Republicans to get things done. He is certainly a notch above career politicians like Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, Rahm Emanuel and Kamala Harris.

Although recall is rare it can happen up to the age of 65 for commissioned officers. Senator Kelly is 61. The UCMJ allows one to not obey an illegal order. The vengeful child bully poor excuse for a president and his puppet Sec of Defense would cause a major shitstorm if they tried this. Threats of impeachment would follow and in my opinion a bunch of republicans would join the democratic bandwagon.

As a lifetime republican leaning citizen the politest thing I can say is that 2028 cannot come soon enough. Never send a boy to do a grown-up's job.

According to you the democrats cannot even find their own leader Trump even has to do that for the democrats.

Kelly would be a great Commander-in-chief hope his people are loyal to him.

I won't be voting Mark Kelly for any office. But, the way things are moving in America today, I'm not certain our next President will even be selected by vote of the general population.

Kelly is a traitor who doesn't even know how to properly wear his uniform. He should be tried and executed after submitting toa uniform inspection that he will fail. Benedict Arnold has nothing on a traitor like Kelly. May he rot in a well-earned hell.

I'll take JD Vance, who would never undermine his fellow service members. Benedict Arnold was a hero until he wasn't. George Washington wanted him taken alive so that he himself might execute Arnold. Can you imagine if Rs told service members to ignore Obama as he was ordering innocent brown people (and even an American citizen) droned to death by our military? Kelly should be flogged and hanged. It's as American as apple pie and General George Washington.

Just another indication of the pitiful field of candidates for president. Astronaut and now senator, do not make someone qualified to deal with the disaster in Washington. I suspect he just another big government bureaucrat a heart.

Why are you picking on Gov. Shapiro ?

You are correct. Kelly is exactly what this country needs..... To complete the downward spiral to becoming a socialist, communist, Sharia law nation. Democracy? Bahhh Humbug (in keeping with the soon to be outlawed season).

He empowered the DC assassin after supporting the open borders policy that let the murderer in our country. Nice work.

Kelly is a political hack.

His “unlawful orders” video is nothing more than an attempt to undermine the lawful actions of the president, the military, and other federal agencies. Despite the general theme of his video, he failed to mention a SINGLE actual example of an unlawful order that Trump has given.

His video is a disgusting attempt to turn the military against the chain of command and the country because he disagrees politically with the president and the millions of Americans who lawfully elected the president. It’s nothing more than the latest democrat attempt to undermine our country and politicize the military, and another opportunity for him to fundraise off of.

I’d compare him to pond scum, but that would be an insult to pond scum.

This Blog is a much more valuable place when you, Bernie, don't delve into national politics. You are way out of your league here. Northampton County is where your talent is.

Any thought of Kelly pursuing the office of President or being supported in such an effort should have been out the window once he joined the other idiots in creating this performative art “unlawful orders” video.

Bernie O'Hare said...

I'm not. But he and most of the contenders for this office are career politicians. Kelly, on the other hand, is career military. In the senate, he has been a centrist and is willing to buck his own party on issues like immigration. He supports restrictions on asylum seekers during surges. He cosponsored an act that assesses the threat posed by border drones. He supports increased border security tech. He pushed federal legislation (CHIPS Act) to promote US produced semiconductors. He promoted an Act that restricts doing business with Chinese military biotech firms. He voted to support most of Trump's cabinet nominees (not Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel or Pete Hegseth) and the Laken Riley Act. 29 of the 40 bills he proposed had GOP support.

8:41 How many times are you going to post this morning, jeesh? And why do you think the head of Southern Command resigned? Think it could be because of the illegal boat strikes in the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific? Still think the video was "performative art"? People committing murder with these strikes are eventually going to go to prison... accountability is coming.

This video was a bad idea. It was meant to destabilize our military. Exactly a tactic that Elissa Slotkin used in other countries as a CIA operative. When Slotkin was asked what specific orders she was talking about on Meet The Press, she couldn't name them! It was one of the most irresponsible things I have ever seen politicians do, regardless how much you hate the president. Kelly got sucked into it, I thought he was smarter than that. Then he doubles down by crying about how much he's given to this country, please stop, you got a taxpayer funded free education from the naval academy, he sounds a like a cry baby. I really liked him prior to this, now I would never vote for him. Every veteran in my family, 6 total, were astonished that they did this. They're not all Trumpers either. Where were they when Obama was used drones to kill American citizens in Yemen and Pakistan without congressional authorization?

Don't kid yourself, Bernie. The Democrats will float out the candidate who wears the most TDS flair (h/t Office Space) with a good complement of insanity traits. Of those you listed (Emanuel doesn't belong in the conversation), Senator Kelly isn't nutty enough, neither is Shapiro. Harris is just too dumb, even for today's Democrat party. Newsom is a crazy fool with an impressive TDS score and that desirable resume entry of accelerating the destruction of California so he's got the best chance at this point.

I think that Senator Kelly, though, has guaranteed himself to be made Secretary of Defense (they'll change the name back) if the Democrats win the White House in '28.

Kelly flew combat missions and dropped bombs on people. Good for him. Hegseth earned two Bronze stars fighting as an infantryman. He's not a lemming Bernie. He's a hero. Regardless of whether you agree with his politics or not.

Exactly. I’m not a big fan of Trump, but this off the rails hatred of him is causing normally very smart people to do really dumb shit. This video was a bad idea, and in hindsight they know it. Slotkin, a professional liar by trade and CIA training, was tongue tied on Meet The Press. Trump lives rent free in these people’s heads lol. Attack the policies if you don’t like them, but this stunt was over the top.

I agree with Stephen A Smith, a democrat by the way. This video was a bad idea. Of course Trumps response was ridiculous also.

Just like any Sec Defense does lol. Name one that doesn’t jump for the commander in Chief. That’s the boss. Lloyd Austin was in the hospital and didn’t even bother to tell anyone. The worst Sec Defense in history. Joe Biden couldn’t even walk and his cabinet told us he could do trigonometry while hopping on one leg. Talk about lemmings lol. I’m not a big Trump guy but it just seems pretty biased that you’ll go after Hegseth so strongly, but never once even mentioned Lloyd Austin’s incompetence.
Your service is distinguished and appreciated. I still think calling people names makes you part of the problem, not the solution. Trump is the name caller in chief, I don’t like it. But your name calling justifies his name calling. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Trumps RCP average approval rating is 42.7, Obama’s at this point in his second term was 40.1, Bushes was 40.4. You cherry picked the lowest poll you could find.
