As an American, I STILL can't process the fact that institutions like the US Navy are letting a reality TV show clown and a f'kn Fox News National Guard drunk DO these things. Zero honor in bowing down to gutter filth.
For better or worse, that's civilian control of the military. It's not the military's job to reign in the president. That's the job of the US Congress. And they are derelict.
Hi I have never sent anything like this before and I might be in the wrong spot, however CNN just interviewed Nancy LeCore, and she spoke of being in the military and running for Nancy Mace's former position. She is not a candidate yet, there is a run-off. Actually, a Democratic run off between her and Mac Deford. on June 23rd.
Nancy was a Republican all of her life until sometime between when she was retired by Pete Hegseth and when she announced her Democratic candidacy in January of 2026
he has lived in South Carolina less than a year. She is backed by a big digital media company and has unlimited funds through them and an attachment to VoteVets' PAC which gave her $300000 of media coverage 5 weeks before the election.
Mac is a grassroots candidate. Has lived in South Carolina all of his life. He is a veteran of the Coast Guard, graduated from the Citadel, attend college and grad school in the Carolinas and is a lawyer. He has served in various township and city positions in South Carolina to confront and resolve issues facing South Carolinians.
In our so very red state, he is a beacon of light
If you can get him equal interview time on CNN or target the fact that we think that she is a Trump "plant" who came from nowhere with billionaire backing to destroy any chance of Mac being a candidate against a true Republican form out state.
Maybe it's going to take $10-12 gasoline for idiots to understand: Trump is a fuck-up and an idiot and he ALWAYS has been. He needs to be impeached and imprisoned and all sensible Americans know that. Vote for people who know that, too.
My friends and I have been saying that since the last election: It's gonna take real pain for the people who voted for him to reconsider their decisions. All of us will suffer along until they come to that realization. 330M citizens of the US are in the same flaming clown car.
What it has created is optimu demand for certain industries within the realm of certain businesses owners. Missile creation and all that. Daddy Warbucks is raking in the dough.
I think it's too late for this post. Other news reports that other countries say Iran and US have agreed to language of a peace deal. As i recall it was the AP
Just two more weeks...Just two more weeks...Just two more weeks...Just two more weeks...Just two more weeks...Just two more weeks...Just two more weeks...Just two more weeks...Just two more weeks...Just two more weeks...Just two more weeks...Just two more weeks...Just two more weeks...Just two more weeks...Just two more weeks...Just two more weeks...Just two more weeks...Just two more weeks...
Just terrible. This is also how he keeps people mesramized. Their 401 accounts might be rising. But I've heard horrible news on that front, something I'll never recall well enough to explain. But it has to do with 401ks dropping at the end of this. Whenever they call it the end, I guess.
I hear you, but this did seem more authentic and the reports were from 2 AP and Reuters. Im actively looking for them. I don't want to be the leader of a shitshow on here.
Well I’m glad that our service personnel will not be at risk in this episode, we’re worse off now than we were before they started this. And the fact that this was a strategic failure is still a fact.
Yep. Sadly. Trump didn't like the JCPOA since Obama signed it. It was not perfect but it was VERIFIABLE. Trump won't exit this war with anything close to the JCPOA.
As veteran of the US Navy, I really feel for the ones at sea for months, having to stay at a high level of preparedness. It is not a fun environment.
Trump has no idea what he is doing and he will probably give away things making us better off. Lets wrap this up and get our military home from the middle east.
I was in the Belieau Woods battle group in the 80s. USS New Orleans. I say this carefully as ships are sunk and the names used again. In fact New Orleans is another ship than my own. Still on amphibious group though. BTW if the amphib groups ahow up, that means someone is going ashore.
If they had read The Art of War this would never have happened. However, Trump and crowd seem to be morally, intellectually snd educationally illiterate. Most of the things the books says you should do they have done. They couldn’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag they are so incompetent.
Well, they deride empathy. And as such, they don't have the capacity to understand the world from the positions of the Iranians. And because of that, they have no idea what the Iranians' center of gravity is. And because of that, they don't know how to defeat them. This was a stupid and reckless and unnecessary war. The US will leave this war diminished. The Iranians now have truly learned what a strategic hand they have to play, and have learned they don't need a nuke. “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” Trump and Hegseth are the latter.
This is ludicrous. Neither trump nor hegseth has a clue as to what to do. It seems to me that these two morons act like this is a game. They have no idea how to end this. And, frankly, I think hegseth gets off on being the big bad God of War. People continue dying, and he doesn’t seem to be the least bit concerned. sight. could keep this going forever.
Yes, and I think it's far worse than is being reported. When we invaded Iraq in 2003, I had +100 reporters assigned to my division (of 23,000 Marines). Today, there's not a single embedded reporter with forward deployed US forces. This is by design. Trump and Hegseth don't think you need or deserve to know. They just want us to shut up, color, and pay taxes - to the tune of $1.5T next year for defense. We're already +$39T in debt.
They can’t do it now because there are very few people made of what The Greatest Generation was made of RIP to my parents, who were made of that mettle. Hegseth is a moron and a coward.
When I think of the WWII generation, I recall the ADM Bull Halsey quote: There are no great men. There are only great challenges that ordinary people like you and I rise to meet.
Trump and Kegsbreath think they are great men. The state of our country and this war give the lie to that assertion.
1. He wil do anything to have a 'peace agreement' signed by his birthday.
2. he will give Iran all the beneifts they want and we will (he will ) accept anything they shove down out throats.
3. When the media looks at the final agreement, they will laud over him that what he accomplished is 1/10th what we had under the Obama treaty.
4. He will have his media turn everything upside down and lie and characterize his agreement was the greatest ever. That Obama allowed Iran to make a nuclear weapon. He will never mention that he will NEVER ever repeat what he bragged: "The strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated."
I think obliterated means 'completed destroyed' - gone, no more.
But that would open discussions of why he attacked them in the early morning because he said they were about to set off a nuclear bomb and destroy America.
No he will never mention that he said OBLITERATED. If anything he will say he meant-
ILLITERATED - they could not explain anything. they were DUM (without the B). they Trump ILLITERATED IRAN. Only because Trump is DUMB (with the B).
5. So let's see if he fullfills my expectation - that he signs something really 'shitty' in time for his birthday and the greatest fight ever: Trump v. Jean Carroll in a matchup in the Octagon. winner takes all . Trump pays nothing or owes Carroll $160 million (double or nothing). Carroll plans to use the 'grab 'em by the gonads' and twist. When you are a famous woman, you can just grab any man by the gonads and twist. Because they love it?
happy FLAG DAY. Will they fly the PRIDE FLAG for his Birthday?
Well, the Iranians are way smarter than many give them credit for. They have every incentive to drag this out to the midterms. The longer it goes, the more expensive it is for voters here, and the worse GOP prospects are in the House and Senate. If the House and Senate flip, it's impeach, convict and remove. Maybe the Iranians are trying for "regime change" here?
Need a bunch of Destroyers, Destroyer Escorts, and High Speed "Torpedo" boats armed to the teeth with counter air a d counter drone. Decommissioning 4 mine sweepers the day they started thos shot show what morons are running the WH and 5 sided puzzle palace.
Jump jet/A10/Skyrraider Jeep Carriers with laser rappers and wet deck for mine sweeping UUVs should be all over if your going to control a littoral combat zone. Can't maneuver those 1.mile long piggy boats.
It can be done, for sure. We've done it before in the 80s with the tanker wars. The Navy doesn't seem to have an appetite to risk their surface combatants. And the people of the US don't seem to have an appetite to accept the inevitable cost in dead young men and women wearing the uniform. War comes down to will, and the Iranians seem to have the will to persevere. (And I think it would be a disaster for Trump to invade, and a waste of lives.)
And at the pump and at the grocery store and at the airline ticket counter and on and on and on.... Ain't war grand. One plus: the government can't cover the cost of this war on the sly and just put it on the national credit card (debt). Every American is feeling the impact financially. Maybe they'll wake up and connect the dots. American foreign policy DOES impact us at home. With Iraq and Afghanistan, we were at war for 20 years and America was at the mall. No impact for most Americans whatsoever for those two idiotic wars.

Thanks for listening Lynn Reeves
Thanks for your post. All civil discussion welcome here.
Interesting, thx.
If you found this interview interesting, please share it widely with your friends.
👍👍👍👍👍💯💯
The T Heg admin has fired key Military personnel who refused to lick boots.
This is true.

Oh yes! Like mules. A 2 by 4 upside the head just to get their attention. 2 years ago I posted that.
What it has created is optimu demand for certain industries within the realm of certain businesses owners. Missile creation and all that. Daddy Warbucks is raking in the dough.
Yes. There are people directly benefiting from this war.
I think it's too late for this post. Other news reports that other countries say Iran and US have agreed to language of a peace deal. As i recall it was the AP
Iran = Lucy

Trump = Charlie Brown...every damn time

I hear you.
I'm hopeful, but with Trump you never get what is needed. Much less what you want.
Yep, as trump’s insiders manipulate the stock market and make $millions in the process…
This is concerning.
Just terrible. This is also how he keeps people mesramized. Their 401 accounts might be rising. But I've heard horrible news on that front, something I'll never recall well enough to explain. But it has to do with 401ks dropping at the end of this. Whenever they call it the end, I guess.

I agree. The sailors at sea work long and hard hours. I saw this in action on the USS Belleau Wood and others. Bring 'em home.
I was in the Belieau Woods battle group in the 80s. USS New Orleans. I say this carefully as ships are sunk and the names used again. In fact New Orleans is another ship than my own. Still on amphibious group though. BTW if the amphib groups ahow up, that means someone is going ashore.
Rob, thanks for being here commenting from a knowledgeable place. And obviously for your service.
