Hegseth’s meeting of the generals
-
Seems like this could have been an email.
There does not seem to be a clear point or purpose in President Trump’s address to military generals today. It’s a garden variety tear; he’s talking about tariffs, Joe Biden and the autopen, the southern border, CNN, his personal feelings about President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and his anxieties that he won’t be given a Nobel Peace Prize he feels he deserves. These are things he talks about almost every day regardless of audience or setting. Every so often he throws in a statistic or observation he has about the military. “I think we should maybe start thinking about battleships by the way” he said at one point in the middle of a riff about tariffs. “I used to watch Victory at Sea. I love Victory at Sea.”
If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

People were worried he’d be pressuring them to be loyal to Trump but apparently he wants them to stop voting maga altogether.
Hahahaha... obese Trump is like... "What do you mean at every rank?"
Lots of good clips coming out of this meeting. Reddit is having a field day.
And honestly, overall I love the shift back to being a top-notch, fit, war-fighting ready military.

It occurred to me that maybe the pharma stocks are up today anticipating selling a shitload of GLP-1 agonists to the pentagon.

From Twitter:
You gotta love a SECDEF who put American military secrets on a civilian messaging app in a text group that included the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic lecturing generals about professionalism and standards.
All the pushups in the world can't compensate for incompetence.

Is Speaker Johnson admitting President Trump is unwell/unhinged? LOL
Rep Dean: "The president is unhinged, unwell."
Speaker Johnson: "Lots of people on your side are too. I dont control him."
