1. Damn, I was afraid that would happen.

Now he'll probably order the Secretary of the Army to stop any promotions for the brothers.

[thesquanderer]

48. I suspect their fortunes will take a turn for the better once there is a Dem in the White House. n/t

[greatauntoftriplets]

50. I hope so.

They deserve far better than they're getting right now. Punished for doing the right thing for Alexander; and just being his brother for Yevgeny. And drumpf says he's the one who's persecuted.

[spanone]

2. Sure, why not. Just like trump.

He's evil incarnate.

[Leghorn21]

3. I just heard about his brother's firing, I just

......

[dchill]

4. And this is just the beginning.

Was that more Mafia or Nazi? I can't decide.

[wnylib]

41. SS, the mob enforcement wing of the Nazi party.

[Ferryboat]

55. You are so right

The purge is starting. This administration will cleanse the government of all those who oppose him.

[dewsgirl]

5. Such bullshit.😠

[0rganism]

6. the military service oath's about to get another clause

cos it's not just about protecting some 250-yo document anymore, nosirree, might as well drop that part entirely

[struggle4progress]

32. "I swear I will be conscientiously faithful and obedient to dear leader Donald J Trump"

[0rganism]

43. that or something like it

internal purge in progress, please move along

[global1]

7. So Susan....

did Trump learn his lesson?

[Volaris]

14. Yep this can be Item 1 of...

Things That Would Not Have Happend Had The Senate Not Been Half Full Of Chickenshit Traitors.

I wonder how concerned she is now...

[Grokenstein]

23. The pivot! The PIVOT!!

[MontanaMama]

27. We need to ask Lamar Alexander

the same question.

[MFM008]

66. Yeah we see

That he did....

[ZZenith]

8. What a badge of honor for the Vindman brothers.

I am sure it’s cold comfort but history will be kind to them.

[uponit7771]

31. +1, they're hated by a racist sexual predator named Trump ... They'll find new jobs

[soldierant]

36. They are still active duty Army officer.

[moondust]

9. "...you have to take out their families"

Mob behavior not just for terrorists.

[safeinOhio]

16. Plenty of amo to take out the whole Drumph family

later on for real crimes.

[GoCubsGo]

10. I wonder who did the actual firing.

We all know Fat Nixon doesn't have the guts to do it himself. Anyone hear which of his toadies did the deed?

[Brother Buzz]

11. It's not clear if Yevgeny was also fired.

I'm waiting for conformation

[BumRushDaShow]

64. That was my issue as well

despite the media reports. If he were there as a "contractor" (or maybe as one of the Schedule C appointees like Sondland), then maybe. But if he was detailed from DOD, then that would be a Civil Service violation.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Well well,the Orange Anus and his Crew

will be tasting crow for years down the road. You never smear a agency or it's employees without retribution. May not happen today or tomorrow,but,debts has always been settled through out History.

[Mike 03]

13. Trump is beyond despicable.

So I guess Romney's niece is fair game for this president on his rampage.

[Dem2theMax]

15. drumpf is a vile piece of shit.

Pardon my language. It's the only nice thing I can say about him.

[BlueIdaho]

17. Were Trump's goons

Too fucking stupid to tell them apart?

Once again Trump’s rage and ego are driving the best of the best out of the White House and replacing them with lightweights and bobble heads.

My grateful thanks to the Vindman brothers for their service to our nation.

[rdking647]

18. Escort trump to a military prison

I’d love to see the military remove trump and his criminal family since the gop won’t

[DENVERPOPS]

28. Wouldn't that be perfect if

All the Generals and military in Washington pulled a surprise coup and, arrested him, the Republican Senators and the entire rest of his administration including Barr and two or three supremes, and loading them up for Gitmo.....Isn't that where we send terrorists??????

put one of them in each cell with a terrorist and let the guards go on break for hours on end........oh my.........

[Rhiannon12866]

19. Twitter reply :

25. Generalissimo Corpulente's response:

"Yeah well I have a Purple Heart too!!"

(I wonder how the guy who gave it to him is feeling about it right now.)

[Dennis Donovan]

39. Unbelievable in any other era of American History, except for now.

[Mrs. Overall]

20. This is insane.

[WyattKansas]

21. Everyone working for the government should open the flood gates for all...

Alleged secret documents exposing tRUMP and republican rotten corruption.

[wnylib]

47. We could use some expert hackers now.

Someone who could expose his tax records, secretly stored phone calls, Deutsche Bank records, laundering deals, etc.

[DENVERPOPS]

22. Since they are twins

I'm surprised that Trump didn't call up Dr. Mengle.........

[Leghorn21]

34. no shit, pops

jfc

[DENVERPOPS]

67. Thank you LH

When I was a child, there were film clips and pictures in the newspapers of some of the horror that unfolded during Hitler's regime.
I can tell you, that was then, and now, no media would dare show the images that I still have scorched in my brain from those days.
I refuse to talk about some of them here, because I don't want people's brains to even think about it.........

When I hear about this Trump and his Republican Minions separating children from their parents and imprisoning them all in horrific conditions away from the media and press I get sick. It's like your photo above, but it is now and it is here in our beloved country being done by the Republicans and their ring master.

Thank you for your comment and photos...........

[IronLionZion]

24. Heads on pikes

Don the impaler taking out his enemies as a lesson to others

[not fooled]

38. Yeah

wrecking the military, intelligence agencies, and civil service.

Too bad the maggots don't understand how government works and protects what they claim to love about America.

[tavernier]

26. ...

When he runs out of victims and wants more names,
will the republican senators turn in the democratic voters in their districts? Will they need to brand us with a tattoo for identification?

[wnylib]

51. No need to go to Republican Senators.

Aren't voter registrations a matter of public record? If not, nothing could stop them from demanding and seizing records now that anything goes.

[doc03]

29. Next I bet he takes their pensions nt

[uponit7771]

30. K&R, the Russians hate Americas heroes too

[Mopar151]

33. I saw Alex's "perp walk"

I know a true victory lap when I see one!!

Nelson Mandela showed the way - treat the goons like the King's attendants! Introduce them like that enough, they get to beleive`n it!!!!

[ffr]

35. As the wife of a Veteran, who was injured in combat...

As the wife of a Veteran, who was injured in combat...I could not be more angry or disgusted with Trump’s actions to smear & destroy Lt. Col. Vindman's career & life. The fact that he fired his brother is just pure pettiness.

[Doremus]

37. Heads on pikes coming soon?

Normalizing fascism one reprisal at a time...

[nolabear]

40. Kim Jung Un would be proud. He'll come for your loved ones.

If we let him stay he’s going to wreak havoc on us. All of us.

[Blue_Tires]

42. Greenwald and Snowden were unavailable for comment

[BeckyDem]

44. With much more to come.

The sociopath is angry.

[Karma13612]

46. Wow. This is like in China or Russia

When they have political purges when administrations change.

Trump is definitely behind this.

I suppose we should be happy he isn’t executing anyone, although he has already stated he would like to.

[Aussie105]

49. Trump has declared war . . .

on all those he thinks have done him wrong in the past.

Trouble is - one of many really - he is using 'leadership' skills never seen in America from a President before. Third world dictatorships, yes, America, definitely no.

Those same abuses of power, disregard for the Constitution, disregard for <add a long list here>, are what got him impeached in the first place.

I was going to say he is a slow learner, but he is not even that. Full on Dictatorship mode coming up, full on revenge mode coming up!

Your choice . . . kiss his tail feathers or bunker down and look out for incoming 'friendly' fire!

I wonder if any of his base are yet thinking he has gone too far, and see a bleak future ahead?

Hopefully November will be the Ides of March moment for Caesar Trump!

[dem4decades]

52. In all honesty, what would the Trump Administration do with an ethics attorney anyway?

[wnylib]

54. So true. Just extra baggage.

[Ferrets are Cool]

53. It's what dictators do. Anyone not convinced yet? nt

[dem4decades]

56. Remember when we thought Sessions was the worst?

[Ferrets are Cool]

68. Those were the days, right?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

60. It's also what common assholes with a little too much power do.

[Ferrets are Cool]

69. You are giving him too much credit. nt

[wnylib]

57. So, anybody placing bets on who is next for

firing or revenge action? And, what form will the revenge take?

We've already seen the "substance" near Schiff's office. Will Nancy be next?

Was the substance/Schiff BS a smear tactic or a threat to let him know that he is a reachable target?

If he orders the arrest of any of the House team, what will we do?

[SunSeeker]

58. Motherfucking sickass retaliation against the family! How ISIS of Trump!

[Hassler]

59. Yes, I can see what Suckup Sue meant when she said Chump would learn his lesson

[llmart]

70. She's going to eat those words in November I hope.

What a stupid remark she made trying to cover up for her dereliction of duty.

[bigpenguin]

61. Douchebag

just wants to be able to say that he screwed a pair of twins.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

62. And thus the "Night of the Long Knives" begins.

Night of the Long Knives, in German history, purge of Nazi leaders by Adolf Hitler on June 30, 1934. Fearing that the paramilitary SA had become too powerful, Hitler ordered his elite SS guards to murder the organization's leaders, including Ernst Röhm.

---------------

Now unleashed, the Mad King is going exact his revenge upon his enemies, real or imagined. And that doesn't include only the United States -- remember the foreign leaders who laughed at him at the G7?

But her emails...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

63. Tweeted. Thanks DD

[Efilroft Sul]

65. Trump was probably confused by "The Patty Duke Show," so the brother got the boot, too.
