Fake Jake Tapper: Esper Was Fired Because, Get This, He Was Slow-Rolling and Obstructing Trump's Order to Get Out of Afghanistan

As I've said, based on reports from inside the Administration: Mattis was fired because he just refused to execute Trump's lawful orders to get out of Afghanistan.

He kept stalling and telling Trump "We can't because x" or "We have to wait for y."

He did this year after year.

Then he lied to Trump and said he'd finally put together a workable withdrawal plan... in six months.

Six months passed -- no plan. He just stalled and slow-walked again.

Then he was fired.

And the c#cks, who couldn't find their wife's assh0les even if they just followed their bucks' dicks, said, "Oh noes! WHY? Why is this madman Trump firing someone I've seen such funny memes about on Twitter?!"

Say, jog my memory: Was it the Living Meme Mattis who was elected as Commander in Chief and chief foreign policy maker of the US? Or was it Trump?

Oh that's right -- it was Trump. Mattis was charged, as an underling and subordinate, with effecting Trump's orders.

Not subverting them year after year.

And what have we here, with Esper?

Again, the Deep State/Military Industrial Complex asserts that it alone will decide matters of war and peace.

And this is Establishment simp Jake Tapper reporting this -- giving Esper's side of it. (He claims, bafflingly, that getting out troops out of Afghanistan would put those troops in danger. Huh?)

So this probably true:

@FakeTapper

Knowledgeable sources tell me the White House now seems focused on going after Mark Esper’s undersecretaries at DOD, following the firing of Esper on Monday.

The Pentagon's top policy official, James Anderson, resigned Tuesday, according to two US defense officials.

@jaketapper
Why? Sources say it may be because Esper and his team were pushing back on what they viewed as a premature withdrawal from Afghanistan before conditions were met, as well as other pending security issues.

"Before conditions" were met? What conditions? The conditions that Esper, a hired flunky, decided with no constitutional authority must be met before withdrawal?

Would the left or the Establishment Republican (liberals) ever put up with this kind of unconstitutional power-grabbing and gross insubordination if it were Obama or Biden whose orders were being ignored and undermined and countermanded?

If anyone in the Deep State violated the orders of a hypothetical Commander in Thief Joe Biden, National Review would scream about Muh Norms.

But as long is the subversion is coming from the Deep State against their Real Geopolitical Enemies -- actual US conservatives -- then it's just, what, checks and balances? All's fair in love in war? What? What is the excuse? What is the justification?

Update: Fox News' War Whore is very upset that Trump's new DOD might actually execute the orders the duly-elected president gives him:

2 Jennifer Griffin @JenGriffinFNC Confirmed: (Ret) Col Douglas MacGregor to advise new Defense Secretary - wants US troops out of Mideast and Afghanistan ASAP.

Axios Scoop: Divisive Pentagon hire may rush troop withdrawals before Trump's exit
