    Your fuhrer is breaking the law repeatedly. He’s doing it though a window of Supreme Court purgatory while they hear the cases. He has also compromised that branch , clearly.

    Just call yourself a nazi traitor and be done with it

    "I can be insubordinate so long as I don't violate the constitution" is not how the military works.

    With rhetoric like this (it's also amusing how the left's knowledge of history is limited to HITLER!1!1!), is it any wonder left-wing violence is skyrocketing?

    I'm not left.

    If you spent an ounce of energy on anything other than cultish tweets it would be plainfully obvious. The front page on the D&D is evidence of that enough

    Its amusing how the neonazi knowledge of the present affairs is limited to people criticizing their reich ideology and white supremacy evangelical fuhrer trump fascism means people are left

    It just means you don't give a **** about this country or the constitution. You just outlined how little you care about the people in uniform so what other than trump is it that you actually go for?

    Trump Gave the Military’s Brass a Rehashed Speech. Until Minute 44.

    Trump talked for 73 minutes about the same things he talks about almost every day, no matter where he is or to whom he is speaking.

    He talked to the generals about Joseph R. Biden Jr. and the infamous autopen. He talked about the media. He talked about tariffs and the border. He talked about the time he went to a restaurant in Washington to eat dinner. He talked about not being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize he felt he had earned.

    These were pretty much the same things he talked about a day earlier while standing next to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel in the State Dining Room at the White House, which were the same things he talked about at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service in Arizona, which were the same things he talked about at Windsor Castle and at Chequers in England.

    But if the generals were paying attention during minute 44 of the president’s speech Tuesday, they would have heard the fleeting but unmistakable sound of something new. Something different.

    It was at that moment that the president recounted a conversation with his defense secretary: “I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military.”

    I Get your point, but joe the plumber does not set policy or deal with other leaders at a state dinner.
    Our staunchest of allies are probably just holding their nose in wait for an American leader that does take all of the oxygen from the room, or a person that deals in good faith with them as opposed to throwing a tariff their way if they do not bend a knee to the Trumpster.

    Trumps actions have worn thin across the world as a whole, but once he has timed out in 3 years relations will go back to normal after some
    face-to-face meetings reassuring our allies that was him, not me, or our country now.

    Left Wing Violence is way behind, if the left starts doing as much violence as the right, it would definitely lead to civil war.

    Sorry but no. Trump may go, but the ~40% of Americans that elected him are still here. 4 years may change, but we've shown that it can change right back.

    It will take years for foreign allies to trust our government again, and I don't blame them at all.

    I finally got around to seeing some clips of Pete Kegsbreath’s speech, and damn, this MFer completely bombed on stage

    he really thought he had some hits too

    you just know he spent days practicing his lines in front of the mirror thinking he’d get raucous applause

    “and to our enemies, I say, FAFO”



    Did y’all see how he waited for a few seconds at the end of his speech hoping for a reaction, then awkwardly walked off after getting nothing?

    MFer BOMBED

    imagine a bunch of highly decorated generals being told to drop everything and fly to Virginia so they can be lectured to by an unqualified Fox News host and some fat ass demented grandpa

    Apparently a report came out that this was all so they could use FACIAL RECOGNITION technology on all the Generals to see their reactions and extrapolate out if they would follow Trump's illegal orders....

    Maybe the Military knew this and purposely was silent with zero reactions.

    Leaked Texts Reveal Trump Officials Floated Airborne Troops to ‘War-Ravaged’ US City

    Trump administration officials privately discussed sending one of the country’s most hardened combat units into Portland, Oregon, leaked Signal messages reveal.

    Anthony Salisbury, a top deputy to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, was reportedly exchanging messages with War Secretary Pete Hegseth’s adviser Patrick Weaver over Signal in a crowded public space last weekend while traveling in Minnesota to a family funeral.

    According to the newspaper the texts reveal discussions about deploying the 82nd Airborne Division to Portland, a unit better known for parachuting into World War battlefields and Afghanistan than patrolling American streets.

    “Between you and I, I think Pete just wants the top cover from the boss if anything goes sideways with the troops there,” wrote Weaver.

    Another message acknowledged the political cost of such a move: “82nd is like our top tier for abroad. So it will cause a lot of headlines. Probably why he wants potus to tell him to do it.”

    I was station at Ft Bragg for a couple years, those dudes are not trained for policing, they’re trained for combat. Bad things could happen quick.

    Because when an officer sees a soldier with an unshaven face and fails to correct him, the new standard becomes “it’s fine to skip shaving.” When the highest-ranking military officer (e.g., Mark Milley) is corpulent, the new standard becomes “it’s fine to be fat.” And when the U.S. military fails to win wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and no general officers are fired for combat ineffectiveness, the new standard becomes “it’s fine to lose wars.”

    For more than 20 years, too many leaders “walked past the standard.”

    They walked past the standard on haircuts, hygiene, and grooming. They walked past the standard on physical fitness, particularly in combat arms units. They walked past the standard on unit cohesion and military discipline. Over time, small deviations from the standards eroded the quality and readiness of our military personnel, and the character of our military institution. For proof, watch a video of the military parade in Washington, D.C. this past June. Formations were sloppy, undisciplined, and poorly trained.
