    Default Marine Corps General tells Pelosi to pound sand

    Marine Corps. Rebukes Pelosi: “WE DON’T WORK FOR YOU!”

    “Don’t lecture me on patriotism, Madam Speaker. I’ve served this country with distinction for 40 years. I’ve spilled blood for our nation. What have you, a self-serving elected official, done for your country?” Gen. Berger said.

    Pelosi further enraged him by saying he was answerable to Congress.

    “I answer only to the president, and as I understand it, Donald J. Trump is still president and commander-in-chief. I abide in the Constitution as it was written, not your interpretation of it,” Gen. Berger admonished Pelosi."

    Funny, how his "self serving" words could easily apply to tRump as well.
    Please leave your Trump 2024 signs in your yard. That way, my dog will know where to take a dump.

    BTW, this never happened. Pelosi has forgotten more about the law and the constitution than the OP ever knew. She would not have requested U.S. military for domestic protection; that's what the National Guard does, and is doing.

    The OP went completely over your head.

    May I suggest Pelosi is not the one to call out the troops. Brush up on her duties not what she imagines they are.

    The Commandant is correct. That said, don't expect him to follow an unlawful order to attack American citizens.

    I thought RWNJ Trump supporters didn't like anonymous sources? FWIW, only a few thousand NG troops are necessary to take down any Trump idiots attacking the Capitol. Most will be used as guards around various critical buildings and monuments since Trump's Traitors can attack anywhere in DC.


    From the anonymous source link:
    A Pentagon source speaking under promise of anonymity told Real Raw News that Pelosicontacted Gen. Berger late Monday night, and she beseeched him to commit 5,000 troops to help ensure a peaceful transition of power and to prevent a repeat of the Jan 6 siege of the Capitol. Gen. Berger, our source said, didn’t understand why Pelosi needed additional soldiers to augment an already impressive force assembled by federal and state officials. That force includes 15,000 National Guard from D.C., Delaware, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, and an undisclosed number of FBI and DHS agents who arrived in D.C. Sunday night.

    Pelosi said she wanted “battle ready” reinforcements because “radicalized Trump supporters and kooky Qanon conspiracy people” were about to converge on D.C. She implored him to reconsider, arguing that it was the general’s patriotic duty to quell uprisings and guarantee Biden’s ascension to the Oval Office.

    Her statement made the general explode, our source said.

    “Don’t lecture me on patriotism, Madam Speaker. I’ve served this country with distinction for 40 years. I’ve spilled blood for our nation. What have you, a self-serving elected official, done for your country?” Gen. Berger said.

    Pelosi further enraged him by saying he was answerable to Congress.

    “I answer only to the president, and as I understand it, Donald J. Trump is still president and commander-in-chief. I abide in the Constitution as it was written, not your interpretation of it,” Gen. Berger admonished Pelosi.

    Quoting our source, “When her intimidation tactic failed to sway Gen. Berger, Pelosi tried a different tactic: Begging and flattery.”

    Pelosi claimed that the National Guard’s “weekend warriors” were ill-prepared to repel an army of “mad Trumpists.” Battle-hardened marines, however, were more capable of defeating “rabble rousers,” she said. “You have the best trained soldiers in the world, and America needs them.”

    Gen. Berger was unmoved. The only way Marines would be deployed, he told her, was if President Trump himself issued that order.

    “If you want us to help combat his supporters, I suggest you get him on the phone and tell him that. If he orders me to, I will. Otherwise, I suggest you listen really hard to the words escaping your cracked, poisonous lips; they’re tantamount to treason. We don’t work for you,” Gen. Berger allegedly told her.
    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    I'm leery that it's a legit story and strongly doubt the Commandant of the Marine Corps would disrespect the Speaker of the House.

    Even if she did ask, his answer would more likely be a simple, "No ma'am, we can't do that without the orders of the Commander in Chief."

    Exactly. Notice how it's not sourced, and did you catch the SendMeMoMoney blurb at the bottom? It's a blog, for crying out loud. But I'm sure the OP tard not only believes this rot but also sent money to "support the truth."

    It appears that not all of Trump's fans are idiots. They are learning from Trump on how to fleece and fuck over Trumpeteers.

    BTW, have you seen any Trumpeteers quoting the Commandant on masks and vaccinations? Me neither. LOL

    Correct. The story is total BS, and the 'new guy' fell for it.
