This administration is not familiar with truth as concept. Everything is BS from the very top down. This administration wouldn’t even give you an honest weather report.

Trump is scared & over re-acting. Trump is trapped in the Iran war & is over re-acting, scapegoating others for what he himself created. As the Election day &/or the Renewed attack on Iran becomes closer, the more erratic irrational crazy Trump will become. Trump will burn it all down. *

The "full story" is always just a legacy software update that the current administration refuses to install. We’re basically running a superpower on a beta version of chaos.

It’s FUBAR: “fucked-up-beyond-all-recognition” with everything this administration touches. The Economy, the armed forces, health and science, eduction, foreign affairs … etc.

I really feel for these families. They should have been evacuated before any attacks began. We should also understand that Ukrainian spouses and kids have been suffering these same kinds of bombardments for years.

This is true. I was casually chatting with a serviceman who was stationed in Bahrain when all hell broke loose. He didn't have family there, but he didn't hesistate to share details about the destruction, and the amount of damage that was done.

What more proof do we need that Donny and Petey started this war on an emotional panic and no generals were brave enough to even slow them down. They LEFT FAMILIES without their soldiers?? WTF?!? Clearly ZERO forethought to this conflict.

I was in Europe in the 80s and clearly remember my dad telling me they might have to send families back to the US (while soldiers stayed behind) if things went sideways with Gaddafi. You don’t leave families to fend for themselves. JFC. 🤬🖕🏻🖕🏻

Where is the press coverage? Where are the progress reports? Where is Congress's declaration of war? Nonexistent. Unilateral decisions to advance our war crimes in secret is not sanctioned in our Constitution. It is treason. Colluding with our enemies who support war against the US is also treason.

The Pentagon ran a secret evacuation out of Bahrain and left military families in harm's way. The same people who wrap themselves in the flag couldn't bother to tell the families what was happening. "Support the troops" is a bumper sticker, not a policy.

A secret evacuation with hundreds of witnesses, you say? I hope every single one of them calls their Senators as soon as they're able. (Yes, Congress is dysfunctional AF right now, but they're the ones who can call people to testify without getting stonewalled for "national security reasons".)

The families left behind in Bahrain were left behind by design. If they’d been injured or killed by Iranian bombs, the focus of Americans might have shifted in a way very favorably to the Trump admin agenda. They were deemed acceptable losses. This is a HUGE story

They 👏🏻 don't 👏🏻 care 👏🏻about 👏🏻 dependants👏🏻 (And they only care about keeping service members healthy enough to be in the field, they don't give a shit about them, their mental health, or quality of life - they're expendable)

And Hegseth is too busy hanging out at college football games, vacationing with his family and campaigning for MAGA candidates before the election.

Remember the fury when Biden pulled us out of Afghanistan? It was warranted and it went on for days Expected Fox News coverage of this mess: 0 minutes/0 seconds

Shock and a surprise there! Their incompetence not withstanding, it would make them and cheetolini look bad publicly. People’s lives be damned they could not have that.

Pete Hegseth should not be in change of anything more critical than digging a new latrine. His warrior ethos is that of a small boy who just discovered war comics and listens to the town drunk elevating his war stories to perceived competence.

Hang in there Susan. I agree—this administration does not care, everything is different. But his UNIT still cares; and your friends, family, fellow citizens do as well. Courage.

I wonder how many congressional hearings, investigations, and politically motivated character assassination attempts will happen over this one. 🤔 Benghazi? I don't know her.

Anyone remember the Repub criticism of the evacuation of Kabul, caused by Trumpf’s surrender (according to Trump NatSec adviser Gen HR McMaster) to the Taliban. In the case of Hegseth, gross incompetence. Major investigation into the Bahrain disaster after Jan3.

From what I understand Bahrain wasn’t the only US military base that is not in use after the Iranian attacks. At least three others in the ME are reported to be unusable.

So maybe being a Fox News commentator ISN'T the best qualification for a cabinet post running the entire Department of Defense - or several other departments, for that matter?

See what happens when you take an incompetent drunken fool, who hates the military for kicking him out for alcoholism & who does NOT have A CLUE how to plan or run big military ops & whose OWN MAMA considers him an abusive piece of shit, & put him in charge of Trump’s suckers & fools brigade.

A BIG concern of mine, with this asinine, poofy military cosplay for heebiejeebiebibi, is. Not ONLY actual true count of American svc persons perished & wounded… ALSO the depth & breadth of venal LIES they feed to mil families. How exactly is dumpstink crime regime maintaining their cover ups?!😳

Of course Donald's regime is lying. The numbers released defy common sense. Lying about losses of people, equipment and bases. What is beyond frustrating is that I do not here MSM questioning the numbers.

He is a total fuck up and people are suffering because of it. This statement could equally apply to hegseth, trump, rfk jr, Stephen miller, musk,

It’s fair to say that Trump lost our bases in the Middle East and the war. They’ve been destroyed. You don’t let clowns command an army. They are losers. He’s our modern General Custer. Real warrior ethos. lol.

Please cover the Amy Acton situation in Ohio., I am so upset... It could make her win the election. I know this is off topic. I'm sorry. Vivec is a terrible human being. God!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Watch Lawrence O’Donnell’s shocking program tonight, starting with new reporting of the almost total destruction of the US naval base in Bahrain. Leaked from American military families who were under direct attacks by Iran. Eye popping.

Remember how upset the right was over Biden's final handling of Afghanistan? Sounds like they're doing a similar thing now. They think it's OK when they do it

The left gives these jar heads all the support they would ever need and they still shit on the us maybe they're finally learning what bad leadership means and does for our institutions

The way those spouses & civilians felt, huddled next to their children, terrified, watching bombs & explosions & feeling the earth shake beneath... Remember, we--the USA, promised our help, support, supplies & information to the Ukraine people. They live this EVERY DAY b/c WE LIED!!!

Iran shot missiles at the base and Hegseth got those families OUT alive. Meanwhile your party left Americans behind in Afghanistan and called it a success. Spare us the lecture on military families.

The incompetence of "all the best people" Rump gave very important jobs to is disastrous. In the case of Hegseth, the results are tragic. People have actually died. Including innocent children in their own school building. Now American military families are at risk. And all we hear is excuses.

Inexcusable ineptitude from the top of the Hegseth War Machine. The incompetent Warrior of Fox News rids the military of qualified military ranks and has no concept of the damage he has done and continues to do.

That was an awful story! I’d like to know how that ran under the radar for so long?!? I mean, it was a while ago when it happened, and we’re just hearing about it!

Now think about the thousands of Iranian civilians with nowhere to evacuate to killed by Israeli and US bombing. Iranians who likely have vastly more cause to hate their country’s regime than any American. Who is crying for them? Or don’t their lives count?

When you are losing a war, you try as hard as you can to deny or conceal it. The explosion of online news media means that propaganda around evacuation possibly on on the scale of the Dunkirk would be closely scrutinised.

Mothers tell how their children were traumatized by the sound of explosions and missiles. I couldn't help thinking about the children in Ukraine who have been going thru this same terror for years now.

Military families are of no concern to psychos like Hegseth, and the lack of planning to keep them out of harm’s way is just indefensible. Is he stupid enough to think the family members affected wouldn’t talk? He needs to go.

There was no planning. Hegseth really thought that a huge bombing campaign would scare Iran into surrendering or a stalemate because he's stupid. Also he doesn't care what happens to his "warriors" any more than he cares about anything.

He better lawyer up ... because Dems are ready for him in Congress WHEN they win in 14 days! #Vote and #VoteBlue‼️ to hold all of these arrogant & horriblely #unfit and #unqualified members of tRump's kakistocracy accountable for their actions.

Get on that new whistleblower hotline with the big payday from our taxes and report the actual fraudsters who are in the White House and work for this administration. Flood that site 🖕🦋😽
