The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

them?

#NATO's Article 5 was only invoked once, by 🇺🇸 after 9/11. As a result, 1,105 European & Canadian soldiers died in the 20-year Afghanistan War - 1/3 of coalition casualties. I don't recall the Europeans demanding America surrender its mineral wealth in exchange for their help.

Look at this shit! I put out a small pile of almonds for the local murder and sat and watched them again. These motherfuckers lined up SINGLE FILE and took turns eating a couple almonds and leaving some for the next bird.

Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them.

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to

It is ironic because trump firing a Black 4-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff only to name a less qualified white man to the same job is the reason why DEI policies exist in the first place.

Some things to know about General Brown: - 41 years of military service - F16 fighter pilot and instructor with 3000 flight hours, 130 in combat - Master’s in aeronautical science - son of a U.S. Army colonel and Vietnam veteran - grandson of a WW2 veteran

When republicans say "run the government like a business", that's fucking insane. the point of a business is to make profit, the point of the government is to provide the basics of a civilized society. Literally polar opposite philosophies.

This is literally the best tweet of 2025

Pay attention, everyone. The military is NOT OBLIGATED to follow UNCONSTITUTIONAL ORDERS from the "PRESIDENT." Also, they have SWORN AN OATH to PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION FROM ENEMIES BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. If the "PRESIDENT" is one of those ENEMIES, they can ARREST him.

So you're basically admitting the military relies on poverty and desperation to fill its ranks? Bold move, Jim.

The jackass spent three weekdays last week golfing, but wants to know what all federal employees got done? That's the stupidest thing I've read all day. HE should fucking resign.

despite only making up 28% of the population, Republicans make up 67% of pedo politicians

I don't have one iota of sympathy for the MAGAs crying because the face-eating leopard is eating their faces, because we WARNED them. They voted for trump to hurt other people, not them. We voted for Kamala Harris to HELP other people. WE ARE NOT THE SAME.

MAGA influencer Jack Posobiec, whom Pete Hegseth brought on his trip to Europe, told CPAC that Trump isn’t violating the Constitution because “Trump is the living embodiment of the American Constitution.” This is what fascism looks like.

.........................................Holy shit........................................... Pete Hegseth says the Trump White House dismissed top military lawyers to ensure they would not be “roadblocks to anything that happens.”
