Funny how Hegseth never harangued the military commanders about weeding alcoholics from the ranks of the military…

Be careful what you wish for. Our great war leader Churchill was a functioning alcoholic. But I like the irony!!

I hope the military leaders write back and say that everything Kegseth and Trump said were either lies or illegal and that they have an obligation to the constitution to ignore them. I hope they declare martial law, arrest Trump and his entire cabinet, and call for new elections that are carefully monitored for hacking. The lady won

But now that we have a surveillance society and four recently inducted ‘special’ corporate TechBro nerds at the Pentagon, they are going to make it hard for any sort of organizing, not to mention the Kirkster tattletales.

High tech cameras and facial recognition will aid them in finding and arresting people guilty of wrong think. But people will fight back. No masks but makeup hides faces well too.

there was a photo of the crowd in London watching Charles on his way to be crowned King. I blew it up and found my daughter in the crowd.

As a mother of grown children I understand that I have no control over my child’s thoughts, feelings or beliefs (& never did.. I did try ( & tried hard) to show strength & kindness can exist together..AND to think before you speak so as to do no harm …using your education & intelligence …

This doesn’t mean I now keep my mouth shut.. oh no,… I let them know my opinion (as I feel my life experience qualifies me to do so)

So,.. Pete’s Mama, let him know how you feel !! I will stand in your corner with you ( in understanding 🤷‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️)

Yours sincerely,

A mother, grandmother & great grandmother..retired registered nurse, and ‘very’ concerned citizen. Connie

Hegseth thinks he's a big tough man by insulting real men. He's nothing but a pathetic scum bag.

Pretty Petey just needs to be taken in hand by a nice leather daddy, who will show him the truth about existence in ways I'm sure he would love but doesn't have the balls to undertake on his own.

And tell him, despite his own history, and his commander in chief history, he needs to weed out sexual assault in the military. Sexual assault is not some woke complaint. Abusers need accountability, period!

His mother contributed to this shameful human. You don’t become this shitty of a human unless you are indoctrinated into it by the people closest to you.

They yelped and they squeaked to the ranks

Of Generals who yawned at their pranks

A Trumpian hoax

On much brighter folks

Who know how to deal with Mountebanks.

If the Generals complain or don’t go along to get along, they’ll be fired. Or killed outright. With any luck they’ll all band together, take charge of their troops & freeze the fascists out. Win the war before it starts.

What Pete actually means is his approach to leadership is he'll Fascist Around and Find Out later, if it worked or not.

Tattoos like that on a military man. One gold old fashioned anchor on the arm is all he needed.

What are these generals going to do now. Gossip among themselves or pony up and speak out, like real men.
