Trump's Second Term

[The Great Zaganza]

Kash Patel thought it was a great idea to gift New Zealand officials 3D printed guns - illegal to make or own.
The officials, knowing more about the law than the Director of the FBI destroyed them straight away.

Lawrence O'Donnel agrees with me. Trump stuggled to speak for an hour. He can't last 3 more years. They may post some clips at MSNBC or

Take Away from the Hesgarth meeting: Only white males wanted in the Military.

I notice that Hegseth demands all ranks of the military be at all times fighting fit and groomed and ready to kill without mercy. But not sober. Guess it just slipped his mind.

Well, he is right about the being physical fit..............

Whoa whoa whoa...you're reading a lot more into my words than was there.

I didn't blame social media or news channels although I couls see how one might make that mistake.
I never said they are going anywhere or should be banned and I am certainly no luddite.

Where on ertah did you get all that from my post?

Ithin when you called social media Cancer that was inditive you did not like it.
Hyperbole is the curse of the Internet.

What is silly is Hesgarth implying there were too many fat people in the military.
I was in over 2o years ago, and if you did not meet the weight requirements...you were given a certain amount of time to get your weight down or you were pretty much out come reenlistment/renewal of contract time. He is fighgint a foe that was beaten long ago.
WHat is scary is Hesgarth's brand of phony macho posturing is what gets soliders killed in real combat.

I would put the chances of a second CIvil war on over 50% right now.

No, but the odds of a military coup just became nonzero.

Up is down!

No! Down is up!!!!

Hegseth is a liberal pussy, probably a fairy, since he didn't call to weed out all gays in the military.

Only once all US soldiers are strong, tall, handsome, muscular. well-groomed and perfectly straight will the US military be able to win wars again.

Rome wasn't built in a day, but Röhm was killed in one night.

The Top Brass showed us exactly how to deal with Trump: give him nothing. No reaction. Don't laugh, don't clap, don't shout.
Just silence.

Trump needs audience feedback to do anything, without it, he's feels intensely powerless and invisible, the worst thing you can do to a narcissist.

The Media should just stop reporting on anything Trump says or does that doesn't come in the form of an official Executive Order or anything with some legal force.

So the shutdown is nothing to do with the Dems at all.

If it is to do with the Dems, it's pretty impressive given that Trump has a majority in both houses.

 

[dudalb]

The old republic is dead now you're king. You've killed it.

You might be right but if true, the effects worldwide will be disasterous.
Every Democracy will be on the endangered speicies list. If democracy can die inthe US< it can die anywhere.
I admit I am getting a certain amount of schefreude about this from certain posters here.

No, but the odds of a military coup just became nonzero.

I wonder if the name Von Stauffenberg is not going through the minds of some in the military....

 

[dudalb]

kind of weird the hesgeth thing was just a motivational speech waste of time he said a lot of crazy ◊◊◊◊ but idk if anyone took that seriously.

it’s frustrating because these guys are the weakest, lamest nerds you can imagine and they’re somehow recreating a nazi regime and everyone is kind of rolling over. it’s really ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ weird

It has to be taken serioulsy because of the position of power he is in.
Nazi is not quite the right word, it is more like a Latin American dictatorship. But the problem is too many people have a "It can't Happen Here" attitude.

 

[dudalb]

Next thing you'll be asking if he's heard of Sykes and Picot, mebbe even Balfour...

Hell, if he ever watched "Lawrence Of Arabia" he heard of Sikes and Picot.

'There was a British Civil Servent named Mr Sykes and a French CIvil Servent named Monsieu Picot"...

Just silence.

Trump must have been disappointed, having watched how Kim Yong-Un's generals clap at his every word.

Like that'll happen.

i declare the end of childhood cancer

I wish it was that easy. Would be wonderful to declare the end of Donald Dump and watch him pop out of existence like that guy in John Dies at the End when the protagonist finally manages to convince him he's just a figment of his imagination.

Trump must have been disappointed, having watched how Kim Yong-Un's generals clap at his every word.

His top brass must despise him.
