The Joint Chiefs of Staff are only a panel of high-ranking U.S. military officers who advise the president of the United States and other civilian leaders on military issues. As an advisory body, the Joint Chiefs of Staff DO NOT LEAD COMBAT FORCES AND HAVE NO EXECUTIVE OR COMMAND AUTHORITY OVER TROOPS IN THEIR SERVICES. iow, military pundits.
The whole thing sounds pretty ambiguous to me. You could interpret it a couple ways just based off the words used. Feels like very careful word selection there.
"On January 20, 2021, in accordance with the Constitution, confirmed by the
states and the courts, and certified by Congress, President-elect Biden will
be inaugurated and will become our 46th Commander in Chief."
No, not that. That’s a simple statement which their audience already believes to be true. If interpreted with what I found to be ambiguous then it could very well be said just to keep them off guard about what’s coming.
Rather, the bit about “we witnessed actions inside the Capitol”. It doesn’t clarify what actions, so you’re free to assume whichever events happened.
Then we have the bit after that about embodying the ideals and the Constitution. They seem to be saying they will act accordingly with the Constitution and their duty. To the audience it could sound like “yep you can rely on us boss” but the other way could be “we will do our duty, and if someone committed an act, we will pursue justice/whatever”.
The next bit, about certifying. We know the certification was not kosher with states still in contention. So this bit can be tossed out as filler.
Then we come to the “be ready” bit at the end which really tops it off for me as far as hinting at an ambiguous meaning. “Be focused on the mission”.
I know, it’s hopium but it just popped out at me while reading it.
"On January 20, 2021, in accordance with the Constitution, confirmed by the
states and the courts, and certified by Congress, President-elect Biden will
be inaugurated and will become our 46th Commander in Chief."
Yeah, some people can't be helped my dude. They either really, really don't want o believe it or they are very stuck in some alternative universe..best to just let them be.

Its a good thing they're at the bottom of the succession chain.
Hahahah you fag. The Joint Chiefs have no power here. They are just PR muppets. Did you actually think they commanded the troops?
How many of these guys are Obama appointees?

Which bit was ambiguous to you? This bit?

Not long til we find out, eh
No, not long at all. One way or another there’s going to be a lot of unhappy people. Either way.
What does all this mean?
It is not what you think it is: https://youtu.be/pJurFxJR4IE
Whats the big deal about this letter?
The bit where the military say:
"On January 20, 2021, in accordance with the Constitution, confirmed by the states and the courts, and certified by Congress, President-elect Biden will be inaugurated and will become our 46th Commander in Chief."
maybe???
Um... isn’t the President considered civilian leadership?
How come there is no date on the top of the letter? Everybody puts dates in letters. That is what stands out to me
