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."

On 3 separate military peacetime TRAINING exercises. We had 14 deaths one year, 17 in another. I can't remember the 3rd, but it was also in the teens. Having worked for a General Officer, I can tell you these guys will be absolutely fucking unimpressed with the decisions Trump finds important.

When China hears about this Grade-A paper with the gold on it that the US military has now, Taiwan will be SAVED. Give Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize already!

If Hegseth’s rant and whatever this is was suppose to command some type of loyalty, then there are major cracks behind the scenes. All this has done is show how WEAK they all really are. Calling top generals from across the globe to participate in reality show antics is bottom of the barrel.

This COULD have been an email. And still - it never even SHOULD have been an email. This insults the expertise and experience of the hundreds of leaders who were forced to attend this live MLM pitch.

This is a reprise of his COVID bleach moment. When Trump saw Pence was about to get some substantial TV time, he stepped in to claim the spotlight and just winged it. Hegseth seems to have made a similar mistake by calling this den meeting, but he also has more chisled sycophant skills.

This sounds like how Captain Queeg would go on and on about his strawberries in 'The Caine Mutiny'. Is anyone else old enough to remember that play/movie? I think it would be instructive curriculum material for schools.

800 generals & admirals called together to listen to a couple of speeches!! They couldn't SNAPCHAT?** HOW MUCH IS THIS MEETING COSTING TAXPAYERS? **In fairness, upon reflection, the "one room meeting" may have been a security measure, more secure than Hegseth's Chats. 🤷

When you don't understand words you can only look at the paper they're printed on. bsky.app/profile/atru...

So you gotta ask yourself: do his supporters hear this and still think, "Yup, that's what I voted for: babbling nonsense of a geriatric mental patient with tapioca leaking out of his ears." Or are they just so dug in, they refuse to admit the obvious? Will the sunk cost fallacy ultimately kill us?

How does ANYONE listen to this nutter & think…”wow I should follow him - he makes sense!” DJT is the number one example that mental illness doesn’t discriminate. Rich, poor, white, brown or orange…it doesn’t matter- we need to stop turning a blind eye to the crazy!

I'm an art teacher, and there is some merit to using good paper. But listen up numbnut. They don't grade paper like your failed school papers. It's by pound, and what the hell does gold have to do with it? It's almost like he's stupid.

Unfortunately, "they" are: • The VP and Cabinet (explicitly selected for loyalty) are the only extant body (other than the President himself) who can invoke the 25th. • Congress never set up an alternative body, per the amendment, to review the POTUS for disability.

Then I guess we have to wait for the Grim Reaper to make a call on the WH. But, let's face it, he's Project 2025's useful idiot right now. He'll sign anything and spout off their vitriol, and it also takes the heat off of them. We're screwed no matter.

His brain is mush. He wastes the time of the country's top brass to blather on about how he wasted money on fancy paper for their meeting. He vomits endlessly about how he's wasting money remodeling the White house. He brags about how all that tacky gold shit in the oval makes him look successful.

Inappropriate language and base comments out of nowhere add to the fact that no one seems to care where this is heading. I guess no one cares for him either.

Maga did a really great job of making Biden's age and stutter front and center in voters' minds. His own age and heath issues are also laid open but fall on deaf maga ears.

If we were a little bit further along in this fascist project there would be a half dozen generals getting together after this to plan their coup to take power themselves, because they can see how fucking weak and far gone dear leader really is.

Performance art by a drunk & mental defective Of course there’s a segment on big beautiful paper, it is exactly what the leaders of the actual military expected- I’m sure there will be breakaway smaller groups later to discuss origami, calligraphy, parchment, velum - “discuss amongst yourselves …”

Such important information, I’m sure the audience will include this and the promise of better looking battleships in all meeting updates to working military all over the world. Beautiful wins above safety or comfort or…

Those poor intelligent, highly qualified experts in their field having to come from all over the world and listen to that garbage from these two dishonourable, corrupt frauds. It really is incomprehensible how this continues….

I’m glad all of our military leaders had to see this with their own eyes, bc when they have to decide whether to obey his orders or follow the constitution, they will have no excuse for not knowing what an absolute joke this so called cmd in chief.
