    I wonder if they pushed something through or let something get by
    because of a purchased underling that could not do it while his superior was there

    I suspect they wanted the Brass distracted/out of the way
    So something nefarious could happen somewhere around the world.

    It can and will be done but yes it will take a full down to the stud restoration.

    I don't know about decades.
    Once the Trumpster is gone all of our allies we have been pissing off will be able to breathe again and just be thankful that the bully is gone.
    Life will get back to normal in 3 years, unless the new Republican poster boy is a Trump clone, which I doubt, since most around him despise him but would never say for fear of being primaried or publicly humiliated.

    Trump was expecting a room full of mindless buffoons licking up every dumb word he slobbers out of his pie hole like he gets at his Nuremberg...er uh...campaign rallies but instead got this:

    He even told them they were allowed to applaud but still got nothing but eye rolls and crickets...

    I can only imagine the nausea taste in their mouths with Mr. Draft Dodger Bone Spurs Commander in Chief, and a guy with his big accomplishment in his limited wartime duty as platoon leader, telling them what makes strong leaders, and a smart, tough, military capable of defending our nation. They know damn well Hegseth didn't earn his position for anything other than die-hard Trump loyalty.

    Trump defends his pride, ego, and lies, while Hegseth kisses his butt, pledges his Trump loyalty, and brags about the shape he is in. None of that makes a bright, strong, and highly respected military leader, who has decades of combat experience. It's not all about looks, which is so important to guys like Trump and Hegseth.

    I watched that speech and WTF man, that was a pep rally, and WE spent millions on this for what could have been a zoom call??

    On a serious note, I HATE trump but I have to say, he looks tired, and his cognitive thought gets worse every day. As we learned with Joe, this job takes it out of you and trump is 79 and IMO NO President should be this old when there not even a year in. I am not sure he will last the entirety of his term if this gets worse

    Is there any Trump supporter here that is not insane, trolling or playing an online character that feels like this was a net positive for the Trump administration to roll out this cringeworthy sh!tshow?

    is there really anyone out there that thinks this inspired any of our troops or generals?

    genuine asking this. Are they spinning it on Foxnews or just pretending it didn't happen?

    now youre just being ridiculous and pendatic. i can provide a list of billonaires as well if you need.

    John Malone, Philip Anschutz, Stan Kroenke, Bill Gates, The Koch family, The Walton family etc.

    Blackwater and Goldman Sachs profit on all their holdings with the entire system.

    Chamber of Commerce has sat on the edge of the debate as well. The Chamber argues that immigration is crucial for economic growth, creating jobs, and fostering innovation. While it has opposed E-verify a system designed to confirm the immigration status of employees.

    You are wrong i was right. Continue to obsfuscate more if you want to pretend and have no self accountiblity and incapable of admiting i was right from the start.

    McDonalds. Olive Garden. Chipotle. Hyatt. Marriott. etc etc etc.

    My point stands. If they wanted to stop it they had the means to a long time ago that's a fact.

    Part of the problem is now foreign countries can’t trust the American electorate. Even when trump is gone you still have the people that voted for him.

    No, you're on a quest to be right and have since meandered the conversation into a wall of babbling text that had nothing to do with my original point just to stroke your own ego.

    Lets reset back to my original point. You said its the billionaires who wanted the illegal labor. Now I understand you mischaracterized your statement in your quest of hating people who are more successful than you and I simply corrected your statement.

    We can't stop illegal immigration of course as it happens in multiple ways beyond controlling the border. But we can't have open borders. And the incompetent Democrat leadership under the Biden administration completely opened the border under the guise of asylum, and judging your response, you supported this completely stupid nonsense not because you agree with it deep down, but because you're a simple minded programmed liberal who take the complete opposite stance of Republicans, no matter how dumb it sounds.

    Almost everyone benefits from this practice, just like the vast majority of people benefitted from slavery 200 years ago. Hypocrites want to stand on their high horse, act like the are morally superior criticizing these behaviors while shoving the fat mouths with cheap products served from these people. This isn't a billionaire issue. This isn't a major corporation issue. This is an everyone issue. You are simply using this opportunity to morally justify yourself. Disgusting behavior.

    I am not being xenophobic. I support reasonable amounts of H1B's (not to be confused with the current abuse of H1B's). I am happy to give people all over the world an opportunity of a better life to do jobs that lazy ass ungrateful Americans refuse to do. They are some of the kindest people out there and they deserve protection from abusive businesses and individuals.

    Like a typical Democrat, most of you refuse to take responsibility and accountability for your partys actions. Its YOUR party who created this mess. Stop blaming someone else. YOUR party freely let in massive amounts of criminals in this country who have went on to rape, pillage and kill Americans. Take responsibility for once.

    Anyone with that much contempt for their elected civilian chain of command should not be in a position of military power and should resign immediately.

    Frog in boiling water, and denial. Heed your senses over your ego.

    You mean like unconditional obedience? Maybe they should take an oath. An oath to Leader Trump.

    Unconditional obedience to lawful orders, or resignation. Those are the only ethical options.
