And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

NGL I’M PROUD: That the Generals and SNCOs at Quantico had the military bearing to not cheer or clap for that disgraceful speech. @SecWar is a drunk, sexual assaulting racist who thought it was clever to give fuck ups in the armed forces permission to be drunks, racists, sexual assaulters!

Trump, speaking to military leaders, on Democrats: "They're bad. A lot of bad people."

this shit is so cringe. Pete Hegseth took us from “speak softly and carry a big stick” to “boast drunkenly and hit your wife”

Trump opens with a threat to the generals: "I've never walked into a room so silent … Have a good time. And if you want to applaud, you applaud ... If you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future. but you just feel nice and loose."

When you take a wrestler to a board of directors meeting...

Trump to generals: "We have beautiful paper, the gorgeous paper. I said, 'throw a little more gold on it, they deserve it. I want the A paper not the D paper.' We used to sign a piece of garbage ... I want to use the big beautiful firm paper."

he’s like 10 minutes into this thing and already broadcasting classified information to a live national feed.

Truth! Hen/egg, but they neither respect nor understand policy, either.

To understand Hegseth’s announcement of impunity for misconduct, you must understand that Eddie Gallagher is the model. This is what he means by “warrior ethos.” Trump may have even selected Hegseth because of his similar appearance to Gallagher. Remember? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019...

So after over 8K complains of sexual assault in the military in 2024 alone, Unqualified Pete Hegseth declares his answer: “No more anonymous complains... no more walking on eggshells.” Just like Trump, instead of addressing the problem, he is silencing the victims.

America’s military leadership has more important things to do than listen to lectures on character from an unqualified drunk who assaults women. Any soldier who was as careless as Hegseth was with war plans would be fired if not prosecuted. And everyone in that room knows it.

Stephanie and Najia started "Deafies for Zohran" to make this movement accessible to their community. They even created a signature hand sign for “Zohran.” Sign up for a shift and wave 👋🏻 the next time you’re canvassing in Jackson Heights!

Trump to generals: "America is under invasion from within. We're under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in any ways because they don't wear uniforms. At least when they're wearing a uniform you can take them out."

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

Many of this are left cold by this. I sure am. But this - the kind of performative Andrew Tate cartoon-masculinity, the clumsy swagger, the maundering braggadocio, the needy desperate I‘M A MANLY MAN I’M A MANLY MAN, speaks to a howling void of inadequacy in some people’s souls.

Ah, there it is.

It is undeniable that this moment is being shaped by people who marinated for years in an informational environment where reality was not only demoted but actively disdained. It took a while for that bubble to become impermeable but it did and now we have a chunk of people who know nothing but.

Hegseth plugs his own book during meeting with top generals:

Heute vor 15 Jahren, am 30. September 2010 wurden die Demo gegen Stuttgart 21 im Stuttgarter Schlosspark von der Polizei gewaltsam geräumt. Dabei wurde hunderte Menschen, darunter viele Schüler, teilweise schwerstverletzt. Ein Mann erblindete durch einen Wasserwerferbeschuss auf seine Augen. (1/3)

WRONG… “The U.S. military serves the United States, including its citizens, allies, and interests, both domestically and abroad, with a core mission to defend the nation and uphold its policies.” Not one person.

Here we are.

Trump: "I'm gonna be meeting with generals and admirals and with leaders, and if I don't like somebody, I'm gonna fire them right on the spot."

Missouri's governor has signed new congressional maps to obliterate Emanuel Cleaver's Kansas City seat, but that's not the end of the story. A referendum is in motion, and if it reaches the ballot, it will pause the maps. @gurleygg.bsky.social reports. prospect.org/politics/202...

King Donny received with stony silence.

just a quick shoutout to those folks who came on here earlier this year to defend wurman as a legitimate and good faith scholar

The climate change part will get interesting quickly. One of the most informed conversations on CC I've had with a USAmerican was w a military contractor who is tasked planning CC safe Anchorage for the Navy. Some are 40 miles inland. A CORE task of the military is to prepare for future threats.😁

These people! He literally disrupted the entire US Armed Forces chain of command to body shame them im public? (I know, it's probably some stupid esxcfor purging)

Ist das stark! 🌻

Help the people dream big!

"I'll just go use official force to coercively raise my own revenue (a/k/a taxes!) and then spend it on whatever government stuff I decide I want to do" is complete and total executive tyranny, Congress reduced to nothing but a powerless sham legislature, a head of state with absolute power.

Make time tomorrow to call your Congressperson and both your senators tomorrow. Remind them that trans rights are human rights. Hell, call your reps even if they're Republicans. Let's remind them that they will eventually need to be reelected.
