I love this quote from this article:

www.thedailybeast.com

What Generals Really Say About Trump and Hegseth Summit: Guru

Political analyst David Rothkopf lifts the lid on military leaders’ view of an unusual all-hands meeting on The Daily Beast Podcast.
www.thedailybeast.com www.thedailybeast.com


"“So having a pep rally in Virginia led by a couple of nitwits is not what the United States government or the United States military needs right now.”

Imagine the cost of these two complete idiots trying to micromanage an actual war. A real war I mean, near peer rivals.

I've never had more anxiety about the well-being of our enlisted and intelligence people in my entire life.

Even right wing officers have to see a problem with this stupid shit, they have to. 800 of our top military leaders on one room, and then the CiC shows up too? W.T.F is going on here, people? That quote was charitable. I'd really like to hear their unvarnished opinions on Whiskey Pete and Cadet Bonespurs pulling this kind of stunt. These guys must be furious.

The motivation for the speech is to convince officers to ignore constitution and follow orders if ordered to attack cities or 'democrats'. There was another article that presented more details of the actual speech and it is really quit scary when you think about what Trump and friends are planning if they do not win the elections.

He wants to put us further behind China after all they are our biggest concern on the world stage so he has to make sure we fail to catchup. It isn't just this backward approach towards energy but also out-reach to other nations - as us pulls aide guess who is stepping in with a helping hand...

Another interim US attorney disqualified. So much winning by the administration.

If they were so popular, you would think they could just get their people appointed via regular means with no problem.

I think the problem is Trump is running out of loyalist he can appoint when one fails to get confirmed. Of course with the new senate rules more of these unqualified people are likely to get confirmed.

This administration's ability to be completely ignorant and unaware is, frankly, amazing. This is gold medal level buffoonery.

On a visit to New Zealand, FBI Director Kash Patel gave the country’s police and spy bosses gifts of inoperable pistols that were illegal to possess under local gun laws and had to be destroyed,

3D printed handguns are an up-and-coming scourge for law enforcement, so leave it to the top law enforcement official of the US to use them as GIFTS for his counterparts in NZ. I just wish they were discovered at the airport and NZ authorities seized them before Patel made it out of the terminal.

There are co-pays for non formulary and name brand drugs with Tricare for Life. (I have Tricare for Life too)

Also, Tricare's prescription drug overhead has exploded... endangering our benefits.

I never said there wasn't ever Any Cost... as I stated in my other post my monthly co-pay is minimal.

Here I can go to the base pharmacy and get them filled for zero cost. Of course non formulary drugs will always be extra.

The leisure and hospitality sector shed 19,000 jobs; of course this is a combination of seasonal and Trump impact on visa et all. The data in that article came from ADP so we can expect a govt investigation into the company soon after all we can't have independent reports by third party.

It's hilarious how many MAGAs are bitching about the new PTA movie, One Battle After Another. They all seem to think he wrote it based on Trump, his cabinet & ICE since getting re-elected. Paul wrote it like 20 years ago, and they shot the movie before Trump had even been re-elected. The main villain's a racist shitbag and the ICE like agents are all shitbags too. It's pretty telling the MAGAs think this all about Trump and ICE lol. The movie is AMAZING, like holy shit good. And it seems every single Trump cult member's a mega snowflake over it and they're calling it the worst movie ever made. Pretty sure they're all gonna stop watching any movie from Dicaprio, Penn or anyone else in the movie. Well, most of the rest of the cast is black and Mexican so they wouldn't support them regardless lol. They definitely won't ever be watching another "woke" PTA movie again.

I watched it for the 3rd time yesterday, during 1 especially racist back and forth between 2 whites dudes, a guy in the theater said "they're definitely both MAGA" like 20 people busted out laughing and someone who must have been a MAGA yelled super loud "shut the fuck up!"

It is kind of wild how a 20 year old script does such a shockingly great job of mimicking what's happening in this country right now. If this movie had came out 20 years ago, it would have been near sci-fi. But even if exaggerated, it's pretty accurate for today. It's also interesting how a movie that's completly fictional is making right wingers so angry. Yeah it makes them all look like racist dipshits, but it's an action movie. Anyone who gets triggered over a fictional movie needs to get out more.

I don't know about you, but my prescription prices are just fine...? I have excellent insurance. My monthly cost for my prescriptions is about 53 dollars. I could go to the Air Base if anything gets too high and get them for free through the base pharmacy.
