True, but the other two circumstances were very different.
Obama fired McChrystal for criticizing him of poor judgement in a Rolling Stone article.

Truman fired McArthur for failure to follow directions, prolonging the Korean War.

On the face of it, President Trump has given Patel a brief to prevent the FBI from being “weaponized to persecute political opponents.” But don’t expect “political opponents” to mean progressive movements. Trump has already made clear his intent to clamp down on Palestine solidarity action with an executive order giving every department and agency of the federal government 60 days to “identify all civil and criminal authorities or actions…that might be used to curb or combat anti-Semitism.”
That’s still the most maddening part of the election to me. It’s not a question of Biden arming Israel or his nonexistent red line. It was the constant railing against voting for genocide Joe given the alternative. FPTP with the Electoral College always ends up as the lesser of two evils.
As shitty as this may be, most presidents in my lifetime have been complicit in war crimes. The difference being that the masses are finally being fed the information through social media without having to seek it out on their own.
But Trump said he never even heard of Project 2025🙄
Bardella is far-right. Trump is just further right.
For those who don’t know about the Pinto:
In 1978, Ford recalled 1.5 million Pintos because the fuel tank was prone to rupturing in rear-end collisions at speeds of 20 mph or higher. This was the largest recall in automotive history at the time.
Not a chance. The new ‘infotainment’ clusters integrate necessary features like climate control to prevent aftermarket replacements in most vehicles. I honestly don’t know if any manufacturers even use the single and double DIN standards anymore.
It’s far more likely Trump would use the National Guard, having already leveraged William Barr’s loophole to deploy them against citizens in DC and Portland.
