The man who appointed them tried to steal the 2020 election, their allies are promoting a civil war without rebuke by them and they think they have a right to remain on these military boards?

Kellyanne Conway might as well sit on the board of the Bowling Green massacre memorial fund.

These cretins are on the boards of our Military academies?

Ok…I can see H.R. McBastard but the rest are grifting arsewipes who never served Americans anything other than a beer.

Even that’s doubtful.

Who better to fight people mired in the 6th century than a 19th century general on horseback?

Trump referred to the Lee statue as “magnificent and very famous”. I don’t think we’ve ever had a president who ever expressed such fealty towards the confederacy since 1865. Trump was the first since then though you did have VP Agnew in 1970 giving a speech at Stone Mountain Georgia extolling those carved on the side of the mountain.

Fucker is at it again, this time grifting the families of fallen service members.

Swear to dog, if I found out tomorrow that I had just six months to live…

Just kidding of course…just kidding:roll_eyes:

Trump has placed several calls over the past week to some family members of the 13 service members killed in an Islamic State-Khorasan terrorist attack during the withdrawal. Several have invited him to attend the funerals, and he has suggested he may try to do so.

Trump and his allies have seen the calamitous end to the war in Afghanistan as a potent political opportunity as he weighs a potential 2024 reelection bid — even though Trump himself advocated for the withdrawal, negotiated with the Taliban before leaving office and urged Biden to leave even sooner.

“…cut it into three pieces, and throw this work of art into storage prior to its complete desecration.” There’s a planned desecration? When? And what will they do to desecrate it? Someone should get the details out to those of us out of the loop!

How the Flying F does alternative facts, Bowling Green, Hatch Act felon Conway get to call herself “Honorable”?

They all are unqualified, and should have been fired on Day 1.

As I recall, from not that long ago, such appointees “serve at the pleasure of the president.”
Of course, that was when we had a reactionary chief executive,
Things have changed since then, haven’t they?

Frankly, I find this whole act unconscionable and not all in the spirit by which this Administration promised to govern.

I am going to go out on a limb and suggest everyone respond with a tit for tat angle.

You heard him, Every General Who Has Ever Had Anything to do with Afghanistan! You can’t hold a candle to the stalwart genius of the traitor who took up arms against your country (and lost)!

I was hoping it’d be melted down and recast as toilet bowls.
I’m afraid I’ll be disappointed.
