If you look at the newsreels from WWII, you see our Generals and Admirals were not exactly perfect physical specimens. But they sure did a hell of good job leading and helping to win the war. Hegseth doesn’t know what he doesn’t know.

Tyrant. And Donnie sounds like he’s breathing his last gasps. Very unwell.

To me, this was - in effect - Hegseth saying to those assembled: β€œLook at me! I got the power! On a whim, I can make you jump on a plane and come to me. I can make you sit there and have to listen to me rant and rave about β€˜fat generals’ and whatever other crap I want to throw at you. I own you!”

Jimmy Kimmel is coming back! Thanks, Disney. This is the right call.

Trump making it about him. Even at a funeral. Admittedly, it was a very surreal sort of funeral, but Trump emphasizing hate put the spotlight on what a disgusting creature he is.

I guarantee you, that you can make one pound of ground beef stretch farther by adding water and a box of Hamburger Helper. It’s a cheap β€œfiller” that many of us who’ve been through hard times are very familiar with.

I’d love to see Donnie - at a press conference - try to pronounce the word β€œincalculable.” 😳

It’s like everybody in the world is in on the joke here, except Trump.

Retired Veterans Health Administration employee here. β€œBurn it all down” is not the way. In my 40 years as a federal worker & later as a Union rep, I experienced firsthand the serious harm that a govt shutdown does to federal workers & the public. Chaos & mass suffering will be the result.

Yep. The ghost of Epstein has come back from Hell to haunt Trump in his waking hours and in his nightmares. I’ve always felt strongly that one day Trump will get his comeuppance. Maybe this is it.

Trump did file a lawsuit against
the Wall Street Journal when they brought the birthday card to light. But nothing has happened with the lawsuit, & since then the birthday card has been released to Congress by the Epstein estate. That release was due to a subpoena.

No one in the press yet - that I know of - has yet has confronted Trump or his Press Secretary with:
β€œOK, you say Trump didn’t write the words and didn’t sign the card. But…here’s a Yes or No question: Was the card an idea of his that he had someone else print and give to Epstein? Epstein kept it!

09.09.2025 18:20 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

And I bet the reason the infamous birthday card and the photo of the 22 thousand dollar check became part of Epstein’s estate was because:
Blackmail
They were probably just a minuscule part of a mountain of dimes that Epstein could’ve dropped on Trump if Trump ever snitched him out.

What I wish a reporter would ask Trump the next time he says that pedophile birthday card signed β€œDonald” is part of a hoax: β€œMr President, if that card was not from you to Epstein, why did he keep it all those years & why did it become part of his estate after his death? Did you send that card?”

Trump could’ve single handedly won the Vietnam War on day one, if he hadn’t been sidelined with those debilitating bone spurs that kept him from being drafted into military service.

Trump said the boat and everyone on it were blown to smithereens β€œas an example” to make drug smugglers β€œthink twice” before smuggling drugs to the U.S. The rule of law means nothing to Trump & Company. They are ruthless, hell bent on terrorizing others to achieve whatever is the goal of the moment

Just add an β€œI” to MAFA
and Trump represents the
MAFIA. πŸ€“

I’m wondering if many Nat’l Guard members will be seeking hardship discharges as these deployments lumber on. β€˜Cause this nonsense is taking them away from their jobs & families. I don’t think employers have to save their jobs for them. Wonder how this crap will affect enlistments, also. ?

Trump threatening to sue California for gerrymandering is like Freddy the Firebug πŸ”₯threatening to sue the Fire Department for putting out the fire he started. πŸ€ͺ

Lots & lots of dollars in VA healthcare. Donnie T wants to privatize VA healthcare so Corporate America can get all that money.

Vance says β€œcertain pieces of territory” like he’s talking about pieces of pie. A meat pie, to be exact. What a heartless, soulless crudbucket of a man. These β€œpieces of territory” rightly belong to the Ukrainian people. Their blood is all over the land that they’ve been valiantly fighting for.

Mendacity is actually extremely high at 1600

You have a megalomaniac squatting there.

Donnie T & Friends are purposely keeping the Guard positioned in tourist locations. This is one big photo-op and pretend show of force. Just like was done in LA.

And these members of the Guard are not attacking anyone. They’re having to stand around with nothing to do, really. They’re being patient & kind with the public - letting people take selfies with them and such. People’s anger should be focused on the Felon-in-Chief, not on Guard members.

I know that’s right, Stingle. He also just had his lackey Doug Collins to terminate the union agreement between VA & AFGE. Now they’ll be on the warpath to fire VA employees without cause. And remember, one third of VA employees are military veterans.

Donnie T hates the VA and VA employees, at least one third of which are military veterans. Donnie & Friends are furiously attempting to destroy VA healthcare and VA compensation for service-connected injury & illness.
