KegsBreath, after this happens: Hey, never thought of that. Live and learn. Everything happens for a reason. God works in mysterious ways.
Trump: Pete is doing SO well over there.

Turns out an administration full of extremely online posters and podcasters is not a good idea.

An even better target for a false flag attack.

Nah, just a major purge of the brass. Those not showing up with their MAGA hat and knee pads will get cashiered. Plenty of loyalists wanting a promotion.

it’s to verify that they’re all aware of Pete’s pronouncement barring facial hair in the services and to impress on the top officers the seriousness of the consequences for failing to enforce it.

As opposed to defunding soldiers by activating the part-time ones to pick up litter and stand around at subway stations when they could be doing their actual jobs? Or bailing out a wackadoodle Argentine fascist and his corrupt cabinet?

Well, these superstupid morons fresh from Fauxnooz are so damn uneducated that they have never read history, and certainly not any history of why major battles were lost (which one would think would be a requirement for the head of the Armed Services). Hegseth is monumentally unfit for this office, and his ignorance and arrogant, malignant machismo is putting the entire world in danger.

We should do what we can to help make that a very stark reality. I’m holding back on all kinds of spending I had wanted to do. It’s both defensive and offensive.

Will there be some fighting in the war room? Hopefully if something nefarious is being planned there will be a patriotic institutionalist like a General Milley to quash it.

So Petey is calling a meeting, in DC I suppose, but where will they all be bunked? Where will they all be briefed? Who is organizing the car pool? Who gets to be the designated survivor?
And of course my standard question how much will this cost, and who will have to do w/o to cover this expense?

She knows that is very unlikely, even if Democrats recover the government.

The order, issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, was first reported by Politico’s Kyle Cheney on Wednesday evening.
“ORDERED, on the court’s own motion, that Kenneth John Chesebro be suspended from the practice of law before this court,” said the missive. “FURTHER ORDERED, on the court’s own motion, that this matter be referred to the court’s Committee on Admissions and Grievances for a recommendation to the court on the extent of the final discipline to be imposed as a result of the conduct resulting in the conviction.”
(He’s already banned or suspended in a few other districts)

Trying not to get too excited here but Pam may be finally discovering that ETTD. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving person.

In all the shut downs I’ve ever experienced (about 8), no one in the military or law enforcement has ever been “defunded” or laid off.

With the supreme court’s ruling that the president is above the law in his official capacity, all of those who engage in these political attacks should be subjected to the same and ten times worse if Dems ever come to power again. It won’t happen because Dems are wimps and don’t know that there is no peace until the enemies of democracy are crushed, but that is the solution.

Adding to @ralph_vonholst … this is how the “Spanish flu” of 1918 took over the world. It’s believed to have started in earnest at Camp Funston in Kansas and, with trainloads of soldiers headed to the east coast and European theater, was off to the races.
Up to 50 million people are believed to have died, and it often hit the young and fit. Read Katherine Anne Porter’s “Pale Horse, Pale Rider” for a first-hand view.
