To the American People, We are former public servants who swore an oath to the Constitution. Many of us risked our lives for it. We are retired generals, admirals, senior noncommissioned officers, ambassadors, and senior civilian national security leaders. We are Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. We are loyal to the ideals of our nation—like freedom, democracy, and the rule of law—not to any one individual or party. We do not agree on everything, but we all adhere to two fundamental principles. First, we believe America’s national security requires a serious and capable Commander-in-Chief. Second, we believe American democracy is invaluable. Each generation has a responsibility to defend it. That is why we, the undersigned, proudly endorse Kamala Harris to be the next President of the United States. This election is a choice between serious leadership and vengeful impulsiveness. It is a choice between democracy and authoritarianism. Vice President Harris defends America’s democratic ideals, while former President Donald Trump endangers them. We do not make such an assessment lightly. We are trained to make sober, rational decisions. That is how we know Vice President Harris would make an excellent Commander-in-Chief, while Mr. Trump has proven he is not up to the job. As leaders, we know effective leadership requires in-depth knowledge, careful deliberation, understanding of your adversaries, and empathy for those you lead. It requires listening to those with expertise and not firing them when they disagree with you. Vice President Harris has proven she is an effective leader able to advance American national security interests. Her relentless diplomacy with allies around the globe preserved a united front in support of Ukraine’s fight against Russian aggression. She grasps the reality of American military deterrence, promising to preserve the American military’s status as the most “lethal” force in the world. The contrast with Mr. Trump is clear: where Vice President Harris is prepared and strategic, he is impulsive and ill-informed. He has heaped praise on adversarial dictators like China’s Xi Jinping, North Korea’s Kim Jung Un, and Russia’s Vladimir Putin, as well as the terrorist leaders of Hezbollah. Conversely, he has publicly and privately excoriated the leaders of our most steadfast allies, including the United Kingdom, Israel, Australia, Canada, and Germany. He abandoned our Kurdish allies while ceding influence in the Middle East to Russia, Iran, and China. Further, Mr. Trump denigrates our great country and does not believe in the American ideal that our leaders should reflect the will of the people. While Vice President Harris follows the democratic norms we expect of any political leader—including promising to abide by the outcome of the pending election and respecting the rule of law—Mr. Trump is the first president in American history to actively undermine the peaceful transfer of power, the bedrock of American democracy. Mr. Trump threatens our democratic system; he has said so himself. He has called for the “termination” of parts of the Constitution. He said he wants to be a “dictator,” and his clarification that he would only be a dictator for a day is not reassuring. He has undermined faith in our elections by repeating lies, without evidence, of “millions” of fraudulent votes. He has shown no remorse for trying to overturn the 2020 election on January 6th, promises to pardon the convicted perpetrators, and has made clear he will not respect the results of the 2024 election should he lose again. That alone proves Mr. Trump is unfit to be Commander-in-Chief. We believe, as President Ronald Reagan said, that “America is a shining city on a hill.” Yet in this election, one of President Reagan’s more ominous warnings is equally relevant. “Freedom,” he said, “is never more than one generation away from extinction.” Our endorsement of Vice President Harris is an endorsement of freedom and an act of patriotism. It is an endorsement of democratic ideals, of competence, and of relentless optimism in America’s future. We hope you will join us in voting for her. Sincerely, President of National Security Leaders for America: The names of the signators are too numerous to include. | |||

https://www.nbcnews.com/politi...-transiti-rcna171455 Faced with the unique challenges of filling a potential Trump Cabinet, quiet transition work is underway Working for Trump was never easy — a hurdle that may make it harder for him to fill his Cabinet. (Excerpt) They've had to move quickly. Trump’s campaign named his transition leaders just last month, a shortened timetable for accomplishing its work, an expert on presidential transitions said. “Relative to modern practice, the Trump team was slow off the mark in announcing their transition operation,” said Max Stier, president and CEO of the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service. “They were the presumed nominee for quite some period, and the normal timetable would be to start their work in the spring, as opposed to the end of summer or beginning of fall.” “With the team that they selected, it’s not clear that they have the governmental experience that is fundamental to success,” Stier added. “In thinking about the expertise you need, deep expertise is at the top of the list. The names [of people running the Trump transition] speak for themselves.” Vice President Kamala Harris’ advisers, too, are preparing for a possible victory in November, as both campaigns look to take the fullest advantage of the first 100 days in office, when a new president’s political capital is at its peak. Their tasks differ in that Harris is already part of an incumbent Democratic administration and has the option of keeping officials in place if she chooses. Trump would be creating a Cabinet from scratch. His distinct challenge would be to find people who are loyal to him — always a priority for Trump — but who are also sufficiently respected in their fields to win Senate confirmation. “He’d have no difficulty staffing his Cabinet,” Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said in an interview. “The question would be whether they are people of stature or capacity and are up to the job required and whether they could be confirmed.” ============================================ Guaranteed: None of those on the list per the OP link will be on Trump's short list of loyalists. ============================================ Trump's first, and hopefully only term was distinctly marked by high turnover. In contrast, Biden's staff and appointees has one of the lowest turnover. ************* Degenerate 1:1 1 Then Trump said, "Let Us re-make a Nation in MY Image, after My likeness, to rule over everything in the Nation, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it".

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news...359083b912e00c&ei=24 Donald Trump’s imaginary and frightening world Story by Ashley Parker • 4h • 7 min read The American Carnage Narrative. (Excerpts) “He’s not the same candidate he was in 2016 or 2020,” said Simon Rosenberg, a Democratic strategist who took note of Trump’s “imaginary world” in a post on X this month. “He’s far more diminished and untethered.” “The percentage of time he’s spending in the real world versus his dystopian world is decreasing. He’s just not speaking about things that are true in this world that we all live in,” Rosenberg said... In July, before a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his private Mar-a-Lago Club, Trump told reporters that only his electoral victory could stave off another global conflagration. “If we win, it’ll be very simple. It’s all going to work out and very quickly,” Trump said. “If we don’t, you’re going to end up with major wars in the Middle East and maybe a Third World War. You are closer to a Third World War right now than at any time since the Second World War. You’ve never been so close, because we have incompetent people running our country.” And this month, shortly after news that former Republican vice president Dick Cheney and his daughter, Liz Cheney, a former Republican congresswoman from Wyoming, planned to vote for Harris, Trump took to his Truth Social site to attack them. “I am the Peace President, and only I will stop World War III!” he claimed... ************* Degenerate 1:1 1 Then Trump said, "Let Us re-make a Nation in MY Image, after My likeness, to rule over everything in the Nation, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it".

I think that at worst, Harris might be hamstrung by Republicans in Congress and/or the Senate. She will, at least, have plenty of sources of advice and direction to turn to and I hope she’ll have sense enough to consider them. Trump, on the other hand, has a burning desire to be an autocrat in the order of Putin, Kim and Xi, guided only by his vindictiveness, malice and greed. Trump is a clear and present danger to the fundamental principles of the western democracies. He rails on about ‘avoiding wars’ and indeed he would - by surrendering Ukraine (and subsequently the rest of Europe) to Putin, Taiwan to Xi, the Palestinians to Netanyahu and turning a blind eye to Kim. Why else do all those despots flock to Mar a Lago to kiss his ass and bolster his run for the White House? | |||

Has Trump done a rage attack on this yet? Any reaction from Fox? I haven’t been paying that much attention, every time I turn to Fox the cream in my coffee curdles. | |||
