Democrats protested the firing of General Tim Haugh

| April 4, 2025 | 21 Comments

General Tim Haugh was removed from his position as director of the National Security Agency. Haugh was among those fired from their positions after Laura Loomer raised an alarm about them. A couple of Democrats were quick to criticize the decision. Senator Mark Warner questioned how this firing makes America safer. Representative Jim Himes was reportedly deeply disturbed by this firing. Questions about their loyalty were among the issues that contributed to their being removed from their positions.

From Military Times:

“Always we’re letting go of people,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he made his way to Miami on Thursday afternoon. “People that we don’t like or people that we don’t think can do the job or people that may have loyalties to somebody else.”

The firings come as Trump’s national security adviser Mike Waltz continues to fight calls for his ouster after using the publicly available encrypted Signal app to discuss planning for the sensitive March 15 military operation targeting Houthi militants in Yemen.

Warner said Thursday night, “It is astonishing, too, that President Trump would fire the nonpartisan, experienced leader of the National Security Agency while still failing to hold any member of his team accountable for leaking classified information on a commercial messaging app — even as he apparently takes staffing direction on national security from a discredited conspiracy theorist in the Oval Office.”

Haugh met last month with Elon Musk, whose Department of Government Efficiency has roiled the federal government by slashing personnel and budgets at dozens of agencies. In a statement, the NSA said the meeting was intended to ensure both organizations are “aligned” with the new administration’s priorities.

And the clown house did not utter one peep when Obami the JEF did the same thing. Hypocrites.

Obama didn’t fire Admiral Rogers.

He wanted to fire him but Trump mentioned he was planning on appointing him anyway so he didn’t bother.

“Commissioned military officers serve at the pleasure of the President, and that the President retains the authority to dismiss them. This authority is a fundamental component of civilian control of the military, which is essential to democracy and the rule of law.” At least, that’s what Google-Fu told me.

Citation needed.

Normally I hate whataboutisms but here we are:
Still no subpoena for Susan Rice over her 20JAN17 email to herself stating that Barry indicated that Crossfire Hurricane, the wiretapping of then-candidate Trump and associates had been ‘…above board’ during a meeting on 05JAN17 with Biden, Comey, the IC reps, et al in attendance?

Save me the feigned moral outrage, you pretentious fucks.

5JC

Not sure what kind of citation you want. Could you clarify that?

Signal has been used for years by the intelligence community to, err, communicate.

Roh-Dog

We have what for evidence? And from what I saw, again questioning the validity of the provided details, not a single part of that conversation was “sensitive” in the technical sense.

Unless political strategy meetings are guarded now but its been a minute since I’ve cracked the spine on 5200dot1.

This Signalgate is a Prog Deep State set up. Word on the back channels is that one of Waltz’s key aids kept urging him for weeks to talk to Goldberg and that staffer put Goldberg’s cell number on Waltz’s phone contact list. Two weeks prior, the operators had Goldberg posted near Waltz for that photograph he used to claim he knows and communicates with Waltz. This is a Deep State take down just like the Mike Flynn operation in Jan. 2017.

Sounds like that aid needs walking papers ASAP, and quite possibly criminal charges.

There are several Deep State saboteurs in the MSC staff. Some have recently been given the boot as a result of Laura Loomer’s meeting with Trump a few days ago.

If the Demoncraps (or RINOs) bitch loudly, then you know it’s the right decision.
Fuck Em all.

What do they call that …. , oh yeah, over the target.

Jim Himes is a notoriously huge POS in the state of CT. Who cares what he thinks.

His campaign manager in ‘08 was the one in Bridgeport CT who told college students working for him “I don’t give a shit what you do out there, just get those fucking idiots to vote Democrat.”

Fuck him.

I watched his interview this afternoon. He is a raving asshole first class.

General Stanley MacChrystal was unavailable for comment.

I mean the O’Biden Regime fired nobody which is the true purpose of The Bureaucratic State. No matter the level of incompetency, you are promoted up the chain if you have the right opinions and connections. If not, you just keep your job and become a redundant cog in the government machine.
We left billions of dollars worth of equipment in Afghanistan: nobody was fired.
A chaotic and poorly planned withdrawal cost 13 lives: nobody was fired.
SECDEF is AWOL and nobody seemed to notice: nobody was fired.
Multiple failures in the nationwide air-traffic system that grounds thousand of flights daily : nobody was fired.
Train crash releases toxins and an uncoordinated clean-up: nobody was fired.
15 million unvetted persons invade the country: nobody was fired.
Ect, ect, ect…
The Signalgate incident occurs and the Dems scream for somebody to fired. A couple of people are fired and the Dems scream “You didn’t fire the right people!”
There is no pleasing these idiots. They can fuck themselves to Bolivia for all I care.

I’m old enough to remember the Xoe Xiden junta wanted to create an office of dis/mal/misinformation!

Also see: the violations of civil rights by gov officials and offices to silence Coof-19 dissent.
Also see: the regime’s silence on deprivation of human rights, namely banking, by both ‘our’ ‘government’ and that of our soon-to-be 51st state.

Oh, military people post scads of sh*t on social media they shouldn’t (including on TikTok they were ordered not to use, then some clearly Chicom sites they shouldn’t anyway) during the BIden admin and folk don’t give a crap, but Trump folk have a chat involving unclassified locker room talk about bombing the sh*t out of Houthi bad guys and the media/Democrats lose their minds.

Odie

Just trying to keep some of their donors alive. You know, we give you money, you give us some back. Lather rinse repeat.

Shocked I tell you…SHOCKED! That a President would fire someone, ‘specially a General Ossifer! And even more shocked that Demonrats would have a problem with that. Maybe they should do as some previous Generals that got fired and run for The Highest Office in The US? Can you say; John C. Fremont(a piece of work if there ever was one)? How about George McClellan? I knew you could.

Oh and…btw…just an FYI. Nothing new with the demonrats registering illegal immigrants (sic) to vote for them…

Fremont ran as the FIRST (heh) Republicunt Prezzy candidate in 1856 but lost out to Buchanan due to the demonrat party split and demonrat party shenanigans. “Frémont, along with the other presidential candidates, did not actively participate in the campaign, and he mostly stayed home at 56 West Street, in New York City.[111] This practice was typical in presidential campaigns of the 19th century. To win the presidency, the Republicans concentrated on four swing states, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Indiana, and Illinois.[111] Republican luminaries were sent out decrying the Democratic Party’s attachment to slavery and its support of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise.[112] The experienced Democrats, knowing the Republican strategy, also targeted these states, running a rough media campaign, while illegally naturalizing thousands of alien immigrants in Pennsylvania.[114]” Whoa! Most people think that there were only demonrats in the South back then. “On May 31, 1864, the short-lived Radical Democracy Party nominated Frémont (age 51) for president in Cleveland.[170] Frémont was supported by Radical Republicans, immigrants from Western Germany, and War Democrats…” “Frémont reluctantly withdrew from the election on September 22, 1864; the following day, in a prearranged compromise, Lincoln removed the more conservative Montgomery Blair from his cabinet.[170]” Back room deal?

 George McClellan should have kept away from politics and continued stitching saddles together
