Donald J.Trump is not just the dumbest President ever, but Trump is the weakest of all Presidents,

All Trump is after is MORE Money from wheeling, dealing, and stealing money any way he can.. Trump doesn't have any feeling for anyone, anywhere.

Donald J.Trump is the most dishonest Mob leader in the history of crime. As Trump plays the part of a weak president.

Thank you once again Joe for an excellent presentation. Thank you Eileen for your service. I hope Eileen Laubacher wins her bid. She obviously cares about her constituents and also the military. Her story about the bolt that farmer had to buy was spot on. It brought their plight to the forefront. She is very knowledgeable about so many factors. I like that she cares about who should rise in the service. I am tired of P. Hegseth per his actions claiming that only white christian males are fit to serve. Your conversation shows that you both agree that this is wrong. That quote "war should be the last resort" she said with such humility. I am truly worried about all of our service people, especially those in the gulf. They used to just throw veterans away when they got home (getting rid of benefits etc.), now we treat them that way while they are serving.

Trump and Hegseth are definitely acting in the interests of Russia and China

Thank you for a great podcast! Best wishes to RADM Eileen Laubacher. I’m cheering for you to win. My deceased spouse served 21 yrs. in the service (10 yrs. Navy and 11 yrs. Coast Guard). Our oldest son served 10 yrs. in the Navy. I am proud to say I was from a military family prior to marrying a military man. It was a wonderful life. My heart breaks for our country and military personnel. All Americans must stand up to the BS being fed to us daily. We must vote to get the change we deserve.

The biggest problem in the military are the generals and flag officers those that didn't walk out of the auditorium in Quantico, after Trump invited them to walk out if they didn't like what they were doing to hear,and a failed reserve 0-4, passed over for promotion to 0-5. a pretentious failure and poser, who should never have been left near a lever of power, and who has degraded the United Sates military.

I can understand shock and denial, but since Hegeth has taken reins of control, the U.S. Military has become a sycophantic hollow shell of itself. And a few good generals and flag officer have put in their retirement papers, what is left is disgusting careerists and sycophants.

Worse than that international criminals and I mean the Generals, down to the sailors that have killed people on the high seas, and how much longer before they turn their guns on fellow citizens,

The Marines deployed into L.A.l and they are suppose to be a bulwark

Trumps rally at Ft Bragg in front of the 82nd Airborne, with those red beret ed mindless twits, laughing and applauding him, should scare the crap out everyone

Under this current regime, our military is no longer the best or the mightiest anymore.

William Farrar's avatar

Hegseth has done to the military, what Trump has done to the country. Dismantled it

Penny Thibeaux's avatar

I saw that, and was horrified at the reaction. As if they have useless minds, no inner compass at all. Very scary

Putin is absolutely happy that Trump's REVENGEFUL HATEFUL mission is on POINT! Destroy AMERICA ✅️⚠️🇺🇲

A quick questionThe mid-terms are less than 90 days away. More than one report has noted our sailors and marines on the Lincoln and other members of the flotilla, have not been receiving mail, for quite awhile. How are they supposed to fulfill their civic duty and vote? Or given the lack of support they received, is that part of the plan?

Jim's avatar

Why not ask Hegseth to spend a week on the aircraft carrier and see how he likes it. I feel so sorry for all the sailors onboard.

I hardly think that Putin will welcome him to hang with him once his usefulness is over, at least not in the way the Syrian dictator was able to flee his country when he was over thrown

The Regime of Trumps is the regime of Putins. Trump is destroying this country for Putin. Of course the military is also being attacked and destroyed by these twisted people. Look at Donald Trumps choices all destructive and inefficient , but damn good at ceding to Putins demands. People need to wake up and get why they’ve gotten rid of the best military minds ( Generals of excellence ) by Hegseth who clearly doesn’t know, care or understand what his job is supposed to be.

Trumps destruction has left this country weaker than ever .

Congress is in charge of calling for wars or against wars. But because of the MAGA capitulation to Trumps diabolical plans ,

it has undermined the real process for determining whether or not they declare war . Trumps war against Iran

Was part of his attempted distraction from the Epstein Files .

Look how well that turned out . ?!?

.

Hegseth who clearly doesn’t know , care or understand

Fascist Republican Solution On Affordability: Suffer

In 1962 Michael Harrington wrote The Other America describing the beginning of the now gapping wealth gap. In it he displayed poor people who lacked education, jobs, and medical care, trapping them. This made such an impact on JFK that he did his own research which changed his policies to begin building the social safety net that has been destroyed by present day fascist Republicans.

Affordability today with the loss of the purchasing power of the dollar and now the destruction of the social safety net(health care coverage, food stamps, childhood meal programs) defined as public programs that protect people from poverty and severe economic hardship is being attacked by the supposed fiscally responsible fascist Republicans who have pushed the national debt to $40T with a daily debt service of $3B/day.

Meanwhile DOGE falsified records of the savings that the Muskrat actually made. The Government Accounting Office(GAO) reports it’s now estimated that the savings that the racist and apartheid supporter cost the American taxpayer $11-15B due to DOGE activities and cuts to governmental agencies. By debilitating federal agencies by firing civil employees which was promoted by the Project 2025 fascists, the cost in terms of election and national security have become obvious.

So the fascist message is tough shit, buck up and shut up.

Great podcast! Good to hear from intelligent motivated and “real”patriotic Americans who really want to work for “we the people”!

Eileen sounds like a great candidate for Congress and I wish her luck in her run against Boebart. Clearly, the gap in their intelligence, and the care for their constituents is huge. Jennie Carignan is the highest-ranking officer serving in our Canadian military as the Chief of the Defense Staff (CDS) #women rock 💪

It's all absolutely infuriating and sad to see the military being treated horribly. It's heartbreaking to hear that health services, including mental health are being cut. Now,to hear that the military suicide prevention phone number has been eliminated, I feel sickened.

I'm in CO-4. I sure hope the DCCC gets behind her. Boebert is beatable in this red district this cycle

I am a 77 year old Disabled Vietnam Veteran and this is the best conversation I have heard by knowledgeable, committed, intelligent, and patriotic Americans who

have also served the Nation we all Love. We need members of Congress who speak the truth. I will donate to your campaign, Eileen Laubacher, and greatly value your

continued dedication and service as a member of Congress.

Thank you for watching!

Penny Thibeaux's avatar

Of course ! The only place to read the truth, hear the truth and facts and at least have a place to voice an opinion.

It's simply outrageous, each day that comes, I dread the news

Penny Thibeaux's avatar

Thank you for your devoted service. I protested in 1968 and all throughout my life

Now in my 70s, I cannot believe I am still at it.

When I look back on 70 years

Nothing has changed

Just more innocent people being killed for no good Damm reason 😒
