My favourite bit of all of this.
The Defense Secretary pointed to his own regimen as an example. “It all starts with physical fitness and appearance,” he said. “If the Secretary of War can do regular, hard PT [physical training], so can every member of our joint force.”
“Today at my direction, every member of the joint force, at every rank, is required … [to] meet height and weight requirements twice a year every year,” Hegseth added.
Someone remind me what fat orange bag of festering mayonnaise if at the top of these joint forces. I forget his name. I don’t really see him doing jumping jacks.
No, this is a great idea. We should all get on Social Media and challenge the Snowflake-in-chief’s ability to do the jumping jacks he is asking his troops to do. Taunt him with old videos of Jack LaLanne, since he seems stuck in the 80’s culturally. With any luck, the problem will solve itself.
He literally said he can’t even walk without being careful so he doesn’t fall down, and he’s acused exercise of shortening the lifespan because you have a finite number of heartbeats or something. In other words, the troops are expendable because shortening their lifespans through exercise is perfectly acceptable. Some animals are more equal and all that.
There are fat service members in BCP that probably PT harder than any of these fucks in charge.
I’m guessing Hegseth actually does workout regularly. It’s part of his Master Race schtick. He likes to look good while showing off his white supremacy tattoos.
I wonder what sort of cocktails he has before a workout. Probably, some come in a syringe.
In the speech he said
"As history teaches us, the only people who actually deserve peace are those who are willing to wage war to defend it. That’s why pacifism is so naive and dangerous. It ignores human nature and ignores human history. Either you protect your people and your sovereignty or you become subservient to something or someone. "
That sounds like an invitation for true patriots to “fix” the current administration.
The most dangerous person is the world, is one convinced of their own righteousness.
They love to talk tough about 2A, and the three boxes of freedom, and peace thru power, right up until someone takes them up on it.
Four boxes of freedom. Soap box is frequently forgotten about. Soap box, jury box, ballot box, ammo box.
They literally renamed the Department of Defense to the Department of War. How more explicit do we need them to be?
God, I hope it’s the war on Christmas! I’ve been waiting so long for that!
That jolly red fucker is finally gonna get what’s coming to him!
“Preparing for war and preparing to win. Unrelenting and uncompromising in that pursuit. Not because we want war. No one here wants war. But it’s because we love peace.”
Somebody completely missed the point of Peacemaker.
Considering everyone in the room knows the Commander in Chief wouldn’t be able to pass the basic reading tests for recruits, I’d say this just doesn’t hit home as well as they all hope it does.
Considering how dead silent the room apparently was, I’d say you are right.
War against who?
War against who, motherfucker? 🪿
Venezuela, and anyone in the US who is to the left of Charlie Kirk.
Maybe a little against Greenland (Denmark) and Canada too, as a treat.
He’s definitely coming for Canada. You can tell how much Trump wants us by how often he says he does. He said it again just a couple days ago.
Prepare for war with Americans, America.
So the military is going to do what they’ve been doing for decades. PT tests happen every six months already.
Also we’re not paying any of your soldiers starting tomorrow, good luck with morale while you prep unpaid men to commit war crimes again
Um, they were already doing that. Pete, do you actually know what a military is for?
Hegseth: Be ready for war Trump: You can practice on our cities!
I hope I can stay on top of that height requirement twice a year.
Honest, genuine question: would there be any point in this descent into fascism where you’d give up on this tactic?
I suppose I can still understand it at this stage: most conflict is still abroad, only 9 months in to the presidency, and the Epstein revelations are still fresh, but how long will you push this?
Will you still be shouting about Epstein once the first protestor is killed by ICE? What about after the first civilian doors are busted down? What about after trans people are definitively criminalized? What about after the first train is loaded up? What about after the first mass grave is discovered? What about after a few tens of thousands of Americans have been exterminated?
I’m not saying everything above is going to happen, but supposing they did, would you still be shouting Epstein? Because at this point, it appears as if you, along with the rest of the Epstein crowd, will be shouting about it regardless of however far we are into the fascist descent. I dont understand that.
I responded lower. There’s actually no point engaging with people who are so happy to bend over and do nothing.
I’m sorry, the files will come out, there will be an uprising and he will be removed. And that will only be the start. You can screenshot your comment to show to your grandkids.
Why are you getting snippy and evasive? My question was honest and genuine. Will you answer it?
Honest answer: no. Epstein is the joker card.
Pull it, and Trump falls. And because Trump falls, and he’s so vindictive, Thiel, Vance, Musk will get damaged or fall too. And then there’s the smart layer of rich pedophiles that will get exposed, not to mention prominent Democrats, SC Justices, the royal family, Wall St. bankers.
With enough pressure, this will dismantle the current power structure and we can start afresh.
The war they are fighting right now is to avoid having to lose this one.
Is it a tall order? Yes, but what is at stake?
If you have a better plan to bring down the bastards, I’m all ears.
Trump could have sex with little boys on live national TV and it wouldn’t matter any more. I don’t know why the old school democrats keep thinking this will solve anything.
