Our government is being run by members of a Frat House somewhere on a KKK College where they teach incels all about racism, misogyny, hate, Flat Earth, science is false, and everything is Biden's fault. 🙄

The man who is responsible for adding $2.4 trillion to the deficit over 10 years, and who is responsible for allocating $75 billion to kidnapping citizens, is taunting U.S. citizens by threatening to shutdown safety net programs.

It’s time people. Courage over comfort.

Post from Truth Social, where the dicktator in charge gleefully posts about destroying America’s infrastructure and cutting programs that help US citizens.

Most interesting part of the speech—a familiar MAGA tirade—was the audience reaction. Didn’t hear a single person applaud. Generals and admirals sat silently during this political lecture from a former National Guard captain. The right reaction.

Hegseth: "A few months ago I was at the White House when President Trump announced his liberation day for America's trade policy. It was a landmark day. Well, today is another liberation day. The liberation of America's warriors ... you kill people and break things for a living."

yeah, this is hegseth straightforwardly announcing that it is free play time for bigots in the ranks. and together with his comments on standards, he clearly wants to purge as many women, black and brown people as he can from the armed services. a white man's military.

Hegseth: "We are overhauling an inspector general process that has been weaponized, putting complainers and poor performers in the driver seat. We are doing the same with the equal opportunity policies. No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complains ... no more walking on eggshells."

Just when you think it can't get worse, Trump jumps the shark. Again. I will never forgive the ones who voted this POS in. What a disgrace. #25thAmendment

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 8d

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

If rebalancing and reforming this MAGA #SCOTUS is not at the top of the agenda of every Democratic candidates running for federal offices (including the big one) - not sure what are we even doing.

And it needs to be more than an issue page - they need to be campaigning on it.

The way they worded this is ridiculous. They still stand by their decision because they said Kimmel said something "ill-timed and insensitive"- which is a lie. Kimmel should sue them. They need to apologize to him.

Ted Cruz on Brendan Carr threatening ABC over Jimmy Kimmel: “That’s right out of Goodfellas. We shouldn't be threatening government power to force him off air. That's a real mistake.”

You know it's bad when Ted Cruz is the voice of reason in the room.
