"Hitler's First Hundred Days" by Peter Fritzsche. Take note of the highlighted parts.

Many of us outside of the US are baffled how so many Americans appear to be disengaged with what is unfolding around them. Do they believe they’re watching a movie or something outside of themselves. Wake up people! All of this will soon negatively impact your lives and even get you killed

Oh yes, this is clearly now.

Longtime Pentagon reporter Helene Cooper said that she can't find any military officials who attended the meeting in Virginia with President Donald Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth and liked what they heard. www.rawstory.com/trump-milita...

Thanks to Republican legislators, a 55-year-old couple making $85,000 annually could see their health insurance cost more than triple, to $24,535 a year. Obviously that’s unaffordable, which is why so many will drop coverage. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/o...

If we had a functional Republican party, the spectacle that took place today in front of our most respected military leaders would have resulted in bipartisan discussion of Hegseth's impeachment.

🤣

Gotta wash those young brains

President Donald Trump, in an address to the U.S.’ top military officials Tuesday, stressed that after decades of military campaigns abroad, it was time to turn the armed forces inwards against an unspecified “enemy from within.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Please clap 👏

More guns than people… Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

When will corporate news media discuss the fact that the president is totally demented and insane? Oh right, the pedophilic billionaire elite don’t want you to think about that.

So, Trump essentially declared war on the United States today. Again. He's utilizing the full resources of the U.S. government to target...us, American citizens, we're the enemy. How does that feel? My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-gener...

I’m not watching the news, but could someone tell me if anyone in the mainstream media is talking about the fact that the President of the United States and Pete Hegseth told America’s top military brass to ignore the rules of engagement and to target minorities in our cities as practice?

🚨BREAKING: No One Stood. No One Clapped. Trump ordered applause from his generals and exposed his own weakness.

Who are they trying to protect?

We can't go arresting Trump's associates wanted by the ICC, now can we?

This asshat just declared war on the American people. 😡

BREAKING: Just hours before the fiscal year ended, a federal judge in R.I. has ordered the Trump administration to preserve $233 million in FEMA funds it attempted to abruptly steer away from 8 blue states. Without that order, the states would've lost the money at midnight.

The Vet Voice Foundation CEO, Janessa Goldbeck, said Pete Hegseth “has a cartoonish, 1980s comic-book idea of toughness he’s never outgrown. Instead of focusing on what actually improves force readiness, he continues to waste time and taxpayer dollars on He-Man culture-war theatrics.”

Says the 5-time draft dodging coward 🤨

What is a dictator?

Trump and Hegseth today used and exploited the military for their shameless political bullshit. Shame on them. Our brave men and women deserve so much better than these two cosplaying clowns...

FUCK ICE FOREVER

Biden in office, GOP House and Senate: DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN!! Trump in office, GOP House and Senate: DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN!! Allowing one party to control the media narrative because they’re loud and dumb is absolutely ruining people’s understanding of how anything works.

Female Army soldiers have earned: ✅️ Distinguished Service Cross ✅️ Silver Star ✅️ Green Beret ✅️ Special Forces tab ✅️ Ranger tab ✅️ Sapper tab ✅️ President's Hundred tab ✅️ Parachute jump wings Just a reminder, Hangover Hegseth has none of these things.

Having now observed the Hegseth and Trump speeches, I'd describe their approach as "soft purge." Both made references to making things uncomfortable for those not aligned with their worldview. Creates a basis for gradual firings and resignations going forward.

It wasn’t just Flag Officers, it was also Senior Enlisted Leadership at that meeting. Some of whom are likely from my generation of service members. I hope they remember what their Chiefs taught them about their roles and responsibilities. I still do.

My time spent in nature doing photography is what keeps me from doing horrible things to horrible people. 5 stars. Recommend.

Look at that huge jump in Trump's wealth in 2025. Americans can't afford groceries or health care. But the Trump presidency is working out great for Donald Trump. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

Math Time: 1/3 voted for the chaos, fascism & shutdown 1/3 voted for competent governance 1/3 couldn't be bothered to vote at all ----------------------------------------- 3/3 of the country will suffer the consequences

The #TrumpShutdown is imminent.

Hegseth "has focused less on meeting with his foreign counterparts and more on doing pull-ups" for social media. The military officers were silent, "though at least some of them were seething. ... 'Those guys have got a lot more dust on their boots than he does.'" www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/u...

There used to be a time when a servicemember would have been called into the CO's office and relieved of their weapons and responsibilities for posted an unhinged rant on youtube. Nowadays it's called "Trump Addresses Generals And Admirals."

Time for the Commander in Chief to go!👇

Let's get #TrumpShutdown trending, shall we?

The HUD website is really something.

Congratulations for the US Armed Forces transitioning to a tech company: holding a pointless in-person all hands intended by leadership to get everyone on board but actually just has everyone polishing their resumes instead

They respect the positions these two hold and will act accordingly, but I can guarantee quite a few in the audience were thinking otherwise of the two men currently holding those two positions. Total waste of time and money.

I expect that my law firm will intervene to fight against the Department of Justice in two more lawsuits today. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.💪🗳️⚖️

psycho

I think this has to be the nail in the coffin for republican ownership of and credibility on national security.

Trump seems to call American citizens 'the enemy from within' again: "Last month, I signed an executive order to provide training for a quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances … It's the enemy from within and we have to handle it."
