Anonymity.
That tells me all I need to know.
Got something to say?
Man-up, sack-up, say it, own it.
Otherwise it's just another sufferer of "Hollow Scrotum Syndrome".
Same reaction I had. Have you ever heard of the Pentagon and senior defense officials going to a partisan political rag and railing against a pundit or a politician? This ought to tell you how bad the politicization of our institutions has become.
As for Tucker, Mark Dice has some thoughts on that topic.

AOC is just an ignorant, un-American c***.
she thinks she’s the enigmatic soul … that cunTTT is nothing but ‘stanky’ in any/every capacity…
Quote:Officials at the Pentagon are cheering the departure from prime time of Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who frequently took aim at the US military over their diversity policies, war in Ukraine, and lack of accountability to the American public.
"We’re a better country without him bagging on our military every night in front of hundreds of thousands of people," one senior Department of Defense official told Politico, speaking on conditions of anonymity.
"Good riddance," a second official said.
When asked by the outlet to respond to Pentagon officials’ cheers over his departure, Carlson told Politico by text message, "Ha! I’m sure."
The first senior DoD official said Carlson "made a mockery" of the free press and "repeatedly cherry-picked department policies and used them to destroy DoD as an institution."
Carlson frequently took aim at military leadership on his show, including Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley. Carlson called for his firing after a direct order from Milley read, "If Donald Trump refuses to leave office, the United States Military must remove him by force and you must give that order."
Carlson slammed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for his 2021 comment that "white people are part of the problem." He spoke out against the firing of a Space Force commander who was let go after voicing concerns over Marxism and critical race theory in the US armed forces. Carlson also blasted the Pentagon’s use of an "inclusion board" to lower training standards, and to prioritize identity politics over military readiness.
On Monday morning it was revealed that Carlson and Fox News had "agreed to part ways." Fox Corporation's stock plummeted by 5 percent, wiping out $930 million in market value following the news of the popular primetime host's exit.
Anyone who said that should be fired on the spot. Pentagon has no business saying these things.
What happened to professionalism?
It's in line with what Schumer said the other day.
If I were Tucker, I'd hire the best security that I could find.

Folks, we are absolute toast as a country. The inmates are running the prison.
I honestly don't believe a single word that comes from DC.... from anyone... and from the immediate zip codes surrounding
Power hungry ******* ********. Idiots couldn't run a hot dog stand and they are "running" or country, into the fuckin ground.

It seems one of the reasons Murdoch decided to fire Carlson was at Dominion released a Tucker Carlson email where he called one of the top female executives at Fox a c***. Probably the only truthful thing he ever said over there.

As long as government is run by man there will be errors and outright abuse. I can handle errors. I have no patience with abuse. These democrats abuse power right and left and their minions are OK with it. Trump saw abuse and made errors in judgment at the end. I’ll take the errors going forward. To hell with the abuse.
I have zero problem castigating wrong actions.
Democrats no doubt abuse power.
But do not try to smooth over 'trying to subvert the procedure for counting and certifying electors for President and trying to get himself *declared* President by violating the law and Constitution' as an 'error in judgement' at the same stroke.
How do you morph trying to get himself *declared* President by fiat (as opposed to a vote of state certified electors) as anything *but* abuse of power?
Well thank God those racist founders instituted a system that states holding individual power can only elect the POTUS. It’s all overblown, a President would never be able to overturn anything at all, even if there was proof of fraud or not.

Lolz. What a completely and absolutely irrelevant rhetorical flourish to start out with..... Double lolz.
Quote:instituted a system that states holding individual power can only elect the POTUS.
Yep. You might notice my gripe isnt with that. It is with a President who tries to get his VP to overrule by fiat or declaration the states' choice for electors. Imagine that.
Quote: It’s all overblown, a President would never be able to overturn anything at all, even if there was proof of fraud or not.
Yet we had a President that tried to do precisely just that. I guess that didnt sink in fully as you typed that in above....

Yes, Biden has repeatedly given a middle finger to the Constitution. Or did you miss that?

Yes, there have absolutely been issues where I think Biden's Executive Orders have seemingly violated the Constitution. I have serious concerns especially about the actions of his administration in squashing social media communications.
You say 'repeatedly' -- maybe tell us some more issues and change your big huge generalized rhetorical 'whadabout'-based argument to a more concrete 'whadabout'.
And as to the specific topic, please tell us where Biden has asked the VP to simply toss out elector slates on a whim and have him declared President?
Biden's deficiencies in the Constitutional realm arent a real defense to the Trump issue, and vice versa.
The funny thing is that I can call out Biden for his shortcomings in that regard, without the appearance of prostrating to defend Trump's actions, and vice versa.

By the way, Slow Man, perhaps try reading posts 48, 52, 85, and 87 for bringing Trump into the conversation. Try whining at them instead of your ****** little potty mouth at me.
Or maybe try responding with issues instead of your immature little whiny crap like above. Good grief.
