Wanna run a fascist dictatorship? Piss off your military. Yeah, that goes well. Keep it up dumbass! When you get your moment of martial law it won't go how you think it will.

When (not IF, but WHEN) Trump declares martial law after the 2026 elections go badly for MAGA and they refuse to transfer power, these soldiers will need to be ready to fight armed US citizens in the street. Will they follow that order? Most rebellions are successful because the defending military simply stops defending.
"im not staying for these SUCKERS AND LOSERS, all of them, i dont like them dead"-trump probably
Not only that Lithuanians donated 237k usd for the families of the deceased soldiers Link.
Interview by US general about the deaths and recovery operation
While a man he admits is innocent is in an El Salvador prison
Well, at least Shady Vance will show up, fulfilling a traditional vice-president's role. Right?
Right?
"Suckers and loosers"
Trump hates the military.
Hopefully they remember that when the time comes to make choices.
We knew this from the last time around
Evidence suggests they do not make the correct choice
Idk. The military did not go along with the coup attempt. That is a win in my book.
Also my understanding was that Gen. Milley didn't go along with troops on the streets during the pandemic/protests when Trump wanted it. Hence the stripping of the general's security detail and clearance by our whiny bitch president on his return.

Trump only cares about his daughter and other chicks he wants to fuck. He has no use for anyone else.

What does it matter? He has their unwavering support. He could have killed them himself and not lost the military's support.
That's not really true. He has the unwavering support of really old veterans who got the same fox news pill as the other boomers. The serving military voted blue in 2020. The Military Times elected not to do a poll in 2024...
There are very vocal service members who support him but the military as a whole does not and is not a fan of Hegseth fucking around in the DoD either. For example one published plan has us divesting our only mobile firepower platforms (strykers), just as the war in Ukraine is making everyone else want them. And F-47 did not go unnoticed either. The Air Force went from a study wondering if we needed NGAD to selecting a vendor without a flyoff and naming it. That thing is going to get ditched January 21st 2029. Then Hegseth is fucking around with physical fitness tests which is actually promotions, schools, and unit qualifications. This is making the most deadly parts of military dislike him. For example we've had women working with Delta for 20 years. First of all Delta isn't giving them up, 20 years ago women were officially banned from combat and that didn't stop them. Second it just conditions them to be anti-administration. So when they get ordered to go get an American "insurgent" who held a sign outside a Tesla dealership one too many times, they may just refuse.

US politics is a fucking comedy. My colleague pulled up the picture of Trump standing with that goofy tariff board where trump is reading all the countries and how many percentages they would be tariffed. My colleague was absolutely cackling at the picture and kept saying "the supposedly richest country in the world and they announce this shit that will affect all of us on a piece of fucking cardboard????!!" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I hate the guy but damn is he funny. Everything he says is a meme. He's absolutely a prime example of what america is all about. Him sitting in a tesla and saying: it's a computers. And : I love Tessler is just too funny. And they voted for him twice. I just can't
For real. To me, Trump is the embodiment of the American stereotype. I know Americans think that the rest of the world stereotype them as being fat, but no no no. The behavior Trump exhibits is the American stereotype on crack. I am pretty anti America (sorry, not sorry) and have been since Bush, but even I could not have come up with a more cartoony and offensive American stereotype than the Trump persona.
Same, but Bush was a fucking rocket scientist in comparison. If someone told me that in the Bush area that thy'll find someone way WAY dumber to elect. TWICE.
I would've never believed that. No way.

I said the first time he was elected that, love him or hate him, you have to admit that he is an accurate caricature of America.
he knows his voters are stupider than he is.

Is it wrong that I am less infuriated by this than I am by the fact people still worship this idiot?
At this point, I am exhausted with being outraged by him. I cannot hate him more than I already do. Doing more evil shit may actually make me hate him less, because I simply cannot keep up to date with all the new reasons to hate him. But I cannot comprehend how millions of people can function in the world while still behaving like everything he does is objectively right. Not even the truly repulsive, monstrous shit, but the petty, insufferable bullshit like this. How do you excuse it? It do not comprehend how anyone can look at this and say, "Yeah, this guy should have nigh-unlimited power over the country and the ability to throw the world into chaos with a Tweet."
Months back somebody on here described it in a simple two-word way that has stuck with me. Dumb and mean.
Many conservatives are just dumb and mean, and that is a nasty combination.
That’s not a perfect generalization, of course. Some are nice people who are profoundly ignorant and misled. Some are smart sociopaths. But it just fits too well for me to ignore.

Supposedly, I shouldn’t be the one who cares more about US soldiers than a republican president, and yet…
Golfing with the fucking Russian oligarchs is more important than honoring dead US soldiers. Fuck Krasnov.
he said they are suckers and losers, and whats in for them, more than one occasion.
he doesn't wear a tan suit though so it's ok
I remember the "Troops for Trump" that would set up from time to time. Never understood it. He's disrespected them multiple times.
