They will be fired. Quickly. And they will be replaced with the large number of career minded officers and NCOs who will gladly fill the void in order to rise up the ranks. I know countless officers who will do ANYTHING to get promoted. The military is overflowing with yes men.

Algebra would like a word with you.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

You have to understand this from the maga chud POV, which is that they see this as “expert level trolling” of the media and “owning the libs.” We are in a bad place America.

Q: You said Zacharia is an attorney. Where did she pass the bar exam? What state? ZACHARIA: When I moved to China

Hassett: "We're building factories like nobody's business. We've got 113k workers who weren't building factories when President Trump took office who are out there building factories. So imagine you're at the University of Michigan football game & you say, 'Hey everybody, let's go build a factory!'"

The country that didn’t take a side during WWII just took a side in the Iran war. We are an international embarrassment. trump needs to leave office yesterday.

Holy shit, you have to be TRULY EVIL to make Switzerland get up off the neutral fence and call you out FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME SINCE 1815?!? trump MUST be removed from office. Same goes for his enablers in Congress.

Pretty much sums it up…how far we have fallen because half of the country couldn’t vote for a woman.

"Calm down. He won't be that bad." "He won't go after political opponents." "He won't try to overturn an election." "He won't start a stupid, costly war." "He won't purge the military." "He won't use nukes." <--- We're currently here.

I know I’m yelling into the void, I’m just a random combat vet (Iraq 3x, Afghanistan 2x), but I want the world to know that most of us do NOT support the illegal war in Iran. I hope this somehow finds a wide audience…

This is a problem of our own making. If it counts, all of us libs feel that we have been fully “owned” at this point. Can we please get some adults back in charge?

Reuters: PM Starmer will fly to China on January 27 on the first visit by a British leader in 8 years, in a bid “to mend ties with the world's second-largest economy and reduce its dependence on an increasingly unpredictable United States”.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

I mean even the fucking White House is backtracking (however slightly). If Dems EVER had a moment to get their messaging right... it's now. Executing US citizens and kidnapping children is not law enforcement.

Proud to be a midwesterner, but it concerns me that now those ice holes will start posing as grocery delivery people.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Minneapolis residents have joined a church-run effort to donate groceries to immigrant families who fear being caught in public by federal agents. What started with a couple of hundred deliveries a week has quickly swelled into a vast operation involving thousands of volunteers. trib.al/1qT1xMw

💡💡💡We could end this all if the Nobel committee would make up some fake award and call it the “super gold peace prize” and give it to the orange dictator. Then say they’re never awarding it again. We’ll all know it’s worthless, but maybe it’ll save the world from destruction?

Let’s make him famous! Internet peeps, do your sleuthing thing.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

I’m wondering, why did he even have is weapon drawn? She wasn’t armed, wasn’t under arrest, wasn’t posing a threat? Why was his fucking weapon out of its fucking holster? CAN ANYONE ANSWER ME THAT FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION?!?!

Rep. Roger Williams: "People need to quit demonstrating, quit yelling at law enforcement, challenging law enforcement, and begin to get civil."

I called this a year ago. I am very in tune with the military, having served multiple tours on active duty. A majority will disagree, but they will be replaced with those who will gleefully turn their arms on anyone who questions authority, including those of us who refuse illegal orders.

Seth Abramson@sethabramson.bsky.social

Gen. Dan Caine is now describing in exhaustive detail an illegal American military operation not a single soldier refused to carry out If you're wondering whether our armed forces will support martial law inside the United States at some point in the next 2+ years, pay attention

I think we need to come to the realization that this is part of the plan. Starve the poor and keep them sick so the gazillionaires can get more.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Those generals in quantico yesterday sat in stoic silence. Don’t be fooled, dozens of them, if not more, will gladly take a promotion to be a part of the trump agenda. Many of them support the ideas and are eager to crush the left. They just know better than to show it.

I hate requoting myself, but I called it back in December. We are between posts two and three. There are a LOT of good people, senior military leaders, about to be shitcanned for being good people and leaders. Read this whole thing and post far and wide. Be prepared, but don’t panic. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

For whoever out there cares… I know the military mindset intimately. I read posts saying that the military is sworn to uphold the constitution and won’t follow unlawful orders if ordered to round up migrants or turn weapons on Americans exercising their right to protest.

Posted this same analysis almost a year ago. Trust me when I say there are a lot of Soldiers itching to kill protesters. When the order comes, few will disobey; and those who do will be chastised and discarded for those who will.

This post is unavailable.

It’s time to realize that for years (decades even) conservatives have been much better at marketing…we need to fix that. Fuck this “they go low, we go high” shit. It’s time to kick ‘em in the groin and not apologize. No one deserves to be murdered, but Charlie Kirk was near the top of that list.

Trump: "Beverly Hills, I have friends, they leave their trunk open for their car bc they know they're going to be vandalized. They don't want trunk ripped off in order for them to steal what's in their bag. They leave doors open so when they go in to steal the radio, they don't rip off the door"

Thought it might be relevant to bring back this point I made a few months ago…

I have talked with a number of young Soldiers who fantasize about shooting protestors. Not just as a possibility, but as a FANTASY. Some of them talk about it constantly. They love the idea of a strongman telling them what to do, whom to hate, whom to kill.

If anyone answers, the correct response isn’t some platitude like “we need to organize.” We ARE organized, but being drowned out by MONEY! What can we do when all the wealthiest Americans are like “okay, let’s get wealthier, fuck the normal American.”
