General Milley’s portrait was removed from the Pentagon wall this morning where every Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has a portrait only 30 minutes after the OAF became president. Thank you President Biden for giving General Milley a pardon!!
What is truly frightening is that a man like General Milley or the current Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Brown, are subordinate to the Secretary of Defense; they advise him but he outranks them. And this man is likely to be the drunken, mediocre, sexual predator, Pete Hegsth. Yeap, Trump believes in a meritocracy with his eminent self, a bigoted, racist, moron in the top position.
Too bad top Military Brass doesn’t come out & denounce the insult of insults to one of their own. I am going to dream of a military coup to happen, sooner, rather than later.
If you’re Jewish, that’s one of the worst things anyone can do. Shows that money really doesn’t buy you smarts. Instead of trying to change the United States, maybe Elon should learn more US history since it obviously wasn’t taught to him when he grew up in apartheid South Africa

Thank you for the synopsis because I was too cowardly to watch it for myself. The less I see of the blonde bimbo the better I feel. He is on a Narcissistic high ! He really thinks he’s wonderful and his narcissist friends like Musk, most of the Republicans in congress and of course the Fox watchers think so too. Now I am really, concerned about the intelligence of the average American that they can so easily be manipulated by this truly EVIL con man. He honestly does remind me of Hitler and it’s getting worse and his followers, mostly ordinary Americans, have no clue, they know nothing about nazism, nor anything about how Hitler took over Germany and how Trump admires Hitler and is basically a Nazi himself. Certainly the Republican Party is dirty.
Well, I did not watch today and will avoid watching/hearing him until he departs….
we hope soon. Anyway,I know this is crude but I grabbed a toothbrush that I declared was Trump’s and cleaned 3 loos in our house. It felt just wonderful!
Cowardice … has me musing about my own reluctance. My gut tells me a it was a reticence to experience that level of disgust. Self care feels like a better term for it, speaking personally.
After he releases the Jan. 6th insurrectionists he will likely appoint them into paramilitary units that will do the dirty work after Hegseth gives them the green light.
They are now all fired up and recruiting. They will grow in number and boldness. Any violent act on Drumpf's behalf now has full cover. There is a lot of ugly heading our way...Check you local listings..
Jackie Chiles, Steve?? One of my favorite characters from Seinfeld. 😂😂😂
I wish I could just laugh and be done with it, but your point is well taken. Everything about Trump is PREPOSTEROUS, but also evil to the core of his being (I can't say soul, as he doesn't have one). I just saw a video clip of Musk mimicing the "Heil Hitler" salute, and I understand the Toddler-in-Chief already had General Miilley's portrait removed from the Pentagon! Trump is one sick fuck.
I watched the farce today in utter stun mode. I am now 73 years of age and have seen many issues go by in this country but never have I felt so stunned by the total distain for real American values and beliefs that I had been brought up believing were so integral to this once great country. I am grateful for your voice, input, and for your intelligence in this most trying time.
Agreed, Deb. I did the same thing, tuning in right before it began and then I turned it off after his "speech". Didn't watch any of the nonsense after. And we absolutely cannot escape the coming nightmare as there are no longer any guardrails in place, and certainly no "adults in the room". I fear it's going to be far uglier than we imagined.
One plus is the roaring, blazing, obvious, shameless, self-unaware incompetence. Not to say that stupid people can't do harm. But the damage of the Idiocracy and the Marching Morons can be limited. Unlike other autocracies in our time, this one has stupids in charge.
We must keep telling them, "No, you are not allowed to..."
Stick your wet fingers in light sockets.
Cause trauma and cruelty to children.
Sic the Army on the city of Chicago.
Use the military to attack Panama, Mexico, Canada, Greenland, our NATO friends.
Give Ukraine to Putin or Taiwan to Xi. The world is not a teenage game of Risk.
When do we take it to the streets. I’m not advocating violence, just over whelming resistance that can’t be ignored. I guess I should have prefaced this with on this day and in his life, this was MLK’s message. Non violent protest, and it needs to start now. It’s an admirable legacy for today that should be front and center.
So disgusting I couldn’t, and won’t watch. Learning how to really grift as President, and setting up a court to give one a green light to do so- well, you have to hand it to him. But on my part. Paying homage, time, energy- ain’t happening. I lost a friend this weekend- life is quite definitely too short.

Be very careful what you wish for…
Yes. This.
Petty, and utterly Trumpian. That picture will be back, mark my words.
I certainly hope so. General Milley deserves better. What a petty little d-bag is Donald Trump.
Let’s not forget Musk and his Nazi Salute!!
Good lord, what filth that has taken over our nation. Yep, that salute is the vilest to me.

They didn’t take it. The voters gave it to them by one of the smallest margins ever. It doesn’t matter. All must obey.
I'm thinking of Peter Sellers in "Dr. Strangelove." But that was funny. This isn't.

It wasn’t cowardly. It was smart to stay away from it all. Self care. The EOs after were what he cared about.

The dirty secret to a con , or a cult is that if you dont think it could happen to you , it could
I saw Melanie’s hat compared to the Hanburgler’s 😂
It kept him from actually kissing her, it looks defensive to me, one flick and off goes his comb over.
Melania, Hamburgaler
Her wardrobe at the Carter State Funeral and today were black and white. Is there a message??
She is representing the death of America.
Now THAT's funny,
After he releases the Jan. 6th insurrectionists he will likely appoint them into paramilitary units that will do the dirty work after Hegseth gives them the green light.
Wagner Group?
More like brown shirts
Yes. Exactly. With Bannon as Ernst Rohm. For a while, at least.
The black robes, by dint of conferring presidential immunity on Trump, implicitly immunized his brown shits.
They are now all fired up and recruiting. They will grow in number and boldness. Any violent act on Drumpf's behalf now has full cover. There is a lot of ugly heading our way...Check you local listings..
Good God ..I hope not .
Follow The Contrarian on Substack. Ruth Ben-Ghiat laid it out, it’s how they roll.
I do follow it. Yes Ruth is amazing .. I just can't bear it !
In the interest of my mental health, I refused to watch, but need to hear the gory details. Thanks Steve for watching so I didn’t have to.

As JFK said to Ike during the Cuban Missile Crisis: Hang on tight.

Horrid. Beyond any of my worst imagining.
It’s actually what was expected. Let’s just make this his best day. Means he starts going downhill and we fight our way back.
Thank you. Exactly right.
Did not watch it; went to the gym and achieved “Genius” level on Spelling Bee. Then a nap. It’s been a good day.
I disgusted myself and tuned in just minutes before the official acts began. You can run, but you cannot hide, sadly.
Did just fine the first time that he defamed the presidency. Will use the same formula again.
I hear what you're saying. I'm saying this time around the country is in for some extremely serious repercussions, and nobody can escape that fact.
Agreed, Deb. I did the same thing, tuning in right before it began and then I turned it off after his "speech". Didn't watch any of the nonsense after. And we absolutely cannot escape the coming nightmare as there are no longer any guardrails in place, and certainly no "adults in the room". I fear it's going to be far uglier than we imagined.
Especially now that he's released his Flying Monkeys from prison.
^Can't wait to see where THAT leads.^
Gosh, Sharon, I hope you didn't STOP at "Genius" level, since there's a level BEYOND that: "Queen Bee"!

No. No. No. You are not allowed to do that.

The Proud Boys were back in DC. I saw video of them on BlueSky. They were marching down the street giving their hand signs and such.
Yeah. Family in DC were 'sheltering in place' to avoid the Trumpanzees. Proud Boys were in the streets - it wasn't safe.
1,500 Jan 6 terrorists, including the leaders, have been pardoned.
With their covered faces. Acting brave, showing weak.
Don’t you mean covered feces?
So they are not standing by — they are marching by now?
LOL, don’t know. Violence seems so cathartic 🤣
So disgusting I couldn’t, and won’t watch. Learning how to really grift as President, and setting up a court to give one a green light to do so- well, you have to hand it to him. But on my part.

What a disgrace. What’s more disgraceful than Trump is that the mainstream media and so many Americans consider this normal.
Thanks Steve ... I have no words .. I am worried sick about our country . Keep up the great work.
