OMG it goes from bad to worse. Trump and Hesgeth together - double embarrassment. What a load of crap. What a waste of everyone's time and money. I am praying the military will stick to constitution and refuse to go to war against perfectly innocent US citizens. US cities as Training ground WTF? Its war against citizens - I hope military sticks together and goes against Trump and bring him down before its too late.
Thanks Bobby - good to get a knowledgeable military perspective. Yes to Trump affecting so many other countries in a negative way, including my own.
Great stuff Bobby and Sam! Dems are failing an open book test was precious. Amazing. Dems could simply and truthfully say that GOP is cutting healthcare services and healthcare for children. That puts children's lives at risk and children without health insurance are more likely yo be harmed and die if they do not have health insurance. Plus, as GOP cuts healthcare and health insurance to children, they are protecting child sex predators and traffickers. Why do republicans hate and harm children so much? So simple, so easy.
The silence of the military at the drunken, whiskey pete and failing felon trump meeting speaks volumes. What'snext for whiskey pete? Put barrels of rum on ships and hand out rum rations daily? The most incompetent clown to ever lead the DoD is an embarrassment to the US military and the world. Whiskey pete is a DUI hire.
Mud grunts. The army is out of date. There are no land battles that will be fought. It will be by internet, sea and air. Kegsbreath is last year’s clothing design. He needs a job at the YMCA. The 6 AM slot is best but we know he will still be recovering from his overnight drunk. Let bobby brain worm fill in. Get the tanning lights out, yoga and tanning. Thank god I’m perfect, but really, this is a huge mistake, even bigger than any I have seen :)
I think it's time for a day of Nation Wide Strike. Such events worked in Poland and other European countries. MAGA politicians still think and say they have a mandate. Shutting down the entire country for a day might get their attention such is not the case. Government workers need protection. The vey existence of our A Political Military needs our support and protection. Don't just shut down Government, shut the whole country down for a day.
You know what I see, about 13 women to 3 men contributing. I often thought that it would be the mothers of afghans who changed their sons. Here we are America, change our pathetic men. Please. We need a vaccine against testosterone. I don’t even buy food that looks orange anymore.
My son served two deployments to Kandahar Afghanistan with the 82nd, 7th Special Forces Group. He died after waiting 16 months for treatment from the VA I fight every day for veterans as an Advocate because of his loss. The current WH resident would consider my son one of the "weak veterans" when in reality there was no stronger human than my boy. When leadership doesn't understand but wants to claim control and credit for the military they do things like this BS meeting. They don't understand and have no business pretending they do.
It's long past time for Hegseth to be fired. By Congressional impeachment and removal, if need be.
1. For discussing military operations in a Signal chat and compounding that by inviting his wife and brother (or brother-in-law), who had no need to know, to be in on it.
2. For the dismissal of senior military officials whose only "offense" seems to be that they either were women or were Black.
3. For accepting a jet from Qatar to be used as Air Force One. This one is a "three strike" offense. Since the ultimate destination of the jet is Trump's library, it's an obvious violation of the Emouluments Clause. We were already building new Air Force Ones to OUR specs, and this plane is going to have to be torn down and completely rebuilt (at great expense to the taxpayer) to be fit to be Air Force One. Last but not least, Qatar hosts the leaders of the Hamas terrorist group. How do we know that this plane has not been sabotaged so that it can spy on the U.S., or even worse, crash with the President onboard?
4. For amplifying social media posts from extremist "pastors" who suggested that women's right to vote should be repealed. (Yes, the Pentagon tried to walk this back, but if Hegseth had any respect for women, he would have never amplified those posts in the first place.)
5. For this latest insult to our military, which draws strength from the diversity of the people serving it.
How can anyone think that such a man (or woman) is fit to lead the U.S. military? Just about any responsible adult in this country – even someone without a military background or a management background - would be a better pick.
As for the suggestion of his boss that the U.S. military should "train" in American cities and his talk about the "enemy within" - these are NOT consistent with Trump's oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. This sounds more at home for a place like Communist North Korea, Communist China, or Putin's Russia, where the military is used as a tool to oppress their fellow citizens, rather than as a tool to defend them.
I praying the military will stand up to Trump and refuse go to war against US citizens on his behalf ( and try and disguise it as training??). Stick with defending the constitution, surely they could bring Trump down if they refuse and back citizens instead?
F* kegseth. Thank god for Bobby! We know there is a reality somewhere. I hope your veteran is sane and safe. My veterans wear red hats and make me vomit.
One more thought about protests. It requires more toughness, strength or whatever you choose to call it to remain non-violent when you are attacked. MLK Jr's non-violent protests were amazing and required self-discipline and training. Never think that people who follow the non-violent tactics are weak or somehow less than.
I keep hoping the enemies of the country are missing the ineptness of the Administration. We are in bad shape for an unexpected attack.

My question is will military leadership fold like congress?
Excellent podcast. Thank you.
White Nationalism is the Trump administration goal.
You get what you vote for. Dumb is dumb.
In my opinion, most military are traitors. Bobby is an exception. How is that true?

I appreciate your analysis.

Quantico is a pain in the ass to drive by :) I’m sorry this is happening to real military people who haven’t drunk the koolaid.
