It’s Tuesday…
President Shitshow’s public schedule for…
The Pentagon’s top brass are trapped in yet another taxpayer-funded exercise in boredom. To kick things off, the cosplay ‘Secretary of Defense’ himself, Pete Hegshit, blessed us with a tweet declaring, ‘today, we end the War on Warriors.’ Inspiring stuff, if your IQ hovers somewhere between a doorknob and a car battery.
Today, we end the War on Warriors.

He said a lot of fucked up shit.
I wanna focus on the things said at the end of Hegshit’s speech…
Reminder that on Saturday, President War is the New Peace, threatened American’s with military action if they protested outside federal buildings…
Hegshit says…
“We serve at the pleasure of the President.”

Beating new recruits is fine…
Hegseth: "Basic training is being restored to what it should be — scary, tough, and disciplined. We're empowering drill sergeants to instill healthy fear in new recruits, ensuring that future warfighters are forged … they can put hands on recruits." pic.twitter.com/hNlOu9WTCM

War crimes are great again.
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing… pic.twitter.com/nUWxqRXsNe

Show more =’s No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement.
You kill people and break things for a living..
Hegseth: "A few months ago I was at the White House when President Trump announced his liberation day for America's trade policy. It was a landmark day. Well, today is another liberation day. The liberation of America's warriors … you kill people and break things for a living." pic.twitter.com/mFN2CSHGjm

And if you thought those few clips were bad, just wait until you see what the President of the US said…
D.C. was worse than Afghanistan.
Trump: "Washington DC was the most unsafe, most dangerous city in the US and to a large extent, beyond. You go to Afghanistan, they didn't have anything like that." pic.twitter.com/NRphKKyuTS

Military is coming to a major liberal city near you.
Trump: "The ones that are run by the radical left Democrats — what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places and we're gonna straighten them out one by one. And this is gonna be a major part for some of the people in this room.… pic.twitter.com/HdXpXlINwu

Our inner cities are a big part of “war”.
Trump: You know, our inner cities, which we'll be talking about because it's a big part of war now, a big part of war. pic.twitter.com/5QsWc0nXoG

“I told Pete we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military, national guard, but military”.
Trump to top military officials: "I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. National Guard, but our military. Because we're going into Chicago very soon. That's a big city with an incompetent governor. Stupid governor." pic.twitter.com/v9gb2OhhcJ

Portland looks like a “war zones” and unless “they” [fox entertainment] are playing “false tapes this looked like War World II”.
Trump: "Portland, Oregon, where it looks like a war zone. I get a call from the liberal governor, 'Sir, please don't come in, we don't need you.' I said, unless they're playing false tapes, this looks like World War 2." pic.twitter.com/G8T8sdsCt2

Took over a large percentage of Seattle, but it was gone when he sent in the troops.
Trump: "They actually took over a big percentage of Seattle. Think of it. You remember that. It was a while ago. And I sent in the troops and they were gone as soon as I sent them in." pic.twitter.com/OFoetFO1hC

Narrator: The military never went into CHAZ, the 3 block zone set up that lasted about 3 weeks in Seattle, during summer 2020. The Seattle police disbanded CHAZ, at the request of the mayor.
The enemy from within.
Trump to military leaders: "Last month, I signed an executive order to provide training for a quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances.

Now they say you aren’t allowed to use the military, like Washington, and George Bush did to protect the peace on US streets.
Trump declares war on Americans: "Our history is filled with military heroes who took on all enemies foreign and domestic. That's what the oath says — foreign and domestic. Well we also have domestic." pic.twitter.com/8wFntxS0Hm

Strip away the fake patriotism and the gold-plated bluster, and what’s left is simple: Trump and his stooges aren’t rallying America against enemies abroad. They’re priming the military and the public to see anyone who opposes him as the enemy within. In their playbook, ‘liberal’ just means American who dares to disagree. That’s not strength, that’s authoritarian cosplay. And the real danger is that they’re saying it out loud.
This is an open thread
PS.
I’m aware of the price controls on medications happening now, but I couldn’t cover both. I struggled to cover the war declaration on U.S. citizens who simply protest his unhinged, heinous ass. I can’t stress enough how dangerous his speech was today. He’s going to war with Americans, and I’m not sure anyone is gonna notice until it’s too late.
