Why would we bother to tune it? It's just another ridiculous waste of everyone's time. All show, nothing substantive. Waiting for something meaningful from the Trump team.
The move to send US military to US cities; spending billions on DHS for huge detention centers and federal "agents" fanning out to find immigrants (and anyone else who looks like an immigrant); having the military swear allegiance to Trump and agreements to basically disappear people to countries like El Salvador where they are held in torture internment camps are all exactly what you would expect someone to do in order to take over the government and end democracy in the US. Prepositioning a loyalist M#GA military force across the country to be ready to violently suppress any dissent and whisk away any protesters and opposition figures to ICE detention facilities is how Trump will control the population when he announces that he is taking over and there will be no more democracy in the US.
But there is one big problem with all of this. Trump and those around him are not competent enough to actually be able to pull this off. While ICE and DHS has made a show of throwing elderly immigrants to the ground and sweeping children up in raids on churches, the overall deportation rates under Trump have been about half of the peak deportation rates under . . . wait for it . . . Obama. That is because Trump's DHS under ICE barbie is devoid of the career immigration officials who are competent and can actually get things done. In a combination of a Trump loyalty purge and DOGE firings, most government agencies have lost almost all of the competent career senior officials who actually know how to do things. And most have not hired replacements and are basically unstaffed at many senior positions.
Trump may end up being history's first cosplay/LARPing fascist because he is such a narcissist that he cannot open his government to people who have any competence because they won't be 100% loyal.
How stupid can you be? Military in the streets means that children will finally be able to play on the playgrounds without fear of being eaten alive by antifa cannibals. It means no more rioters rampaging through suburban neighborhoods, lighting houses on fire and raping at will. It means every last immigrant doing uber eats deliveries must fear for their pathetic, worthless life every time they make a delivery in a public area. It means drone strikes on the houses of those who baselessly call Trump "authoritarian." This is the American Dream.
I honestly can't tell if this is satire.
Then I'm doing my job well. (Which is just a saying, of course. I don't have a job.)
You have no idea what Trump is doing. All you know is that your cult told you you dont like it.
So there are two cults - the right (trump-loving, not "real" Republicans), and the Left (Communist Dem/Libs). Sounds to me as if the Independents are the ones being screwed by America these days. One DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) is being replaced by another DEI (Depraved or Drunken, Evasive, Incompetent).
Hegseth just reinforced the "white men only" mantra of the right. If you are non-white and female you have no place in the military hierarchy. America is erasing decades of social development - you know, where racism and misogyny are seen as a bad thing - for a modern fascist America. So please don't say the we are the greatest country any longer - it is no longer true. America was the country of the free and the brave, neither no longer applies.
You're a bigot. You're sexist. You're racist.
If you think only white men can meet the military standards that existed long before Trump or Hegseth were around youre a moron.
Expecting soldiers to meet basic standards isnt racist or exist.
Assuming minorities can't meet basic standards is literally racist.

Watching ADolt get triggered is the funniest. It's hilarious that he doesn't realize everyone is laughing at him. I don't even care about his politics, I just really enjoy seeing him get so worked up.

Excellent post.
Another way to put this is:
Fox News hot take governing solutions are super easy. Real governing is very hard work and requires competence and professionals.

Pounding on his keyboard and yelling 🤣 What a loser.

What do you expect from someone that is on this forum nearly 24/7 and between all of his monikers and anonymous posts probably has posted here a half million times over the last few year. Yes, he's a big time loser.
This proves my point. Even the fascists strongest supporters do not even understand what is going on. My post clearly states that all of the immigration crackdown and military deployment is just a pretext to have forces in place to put down any resistance to Trump ending democracy. If Trump really was doing this to get immigrants out of the US, he would have put in place a vastly ramped up infrastructure (legal and logistical) to get people deported. And he would have made political moves to get countries to cooperate with repatriation efforts. Instead, the immigration system is bottlenecked and cannot get people out of the country efficiently and in a timely manner. Trump is blowing up boats and threatening a ground attack against Venezuela instead of negotiating a deal to send back all of the migrants that fled to the US, fearing imprisonment and torture for opposing Maduro's government.
"Waaaah I'm getting bullied online!!! These meanie liberals are hurting my feelings!!!"
Why would I block you when I enjoy watching you have your little meltdowns?
Theres a reason you idiots never even try to defend the idiotic things you believe and instead focus on personal attacks... lol.
I believe you getting upset is funny. I don't care about your politics, and I often agree with what you say. It's just funny to see what a moron you are.
One of the most small dick and low energy things that I have ever watched. Hegseth desperately wants a to sound hard and Trump did his usual rambling mumble speech, “People say you’re the best and you are the best. The best of the best with the best equipment like the F-22, which we should produce faster because we have the best industrial…and the B-47, can’t forget the B-47! Gonna be the best B-47 that, quite frankly, no one has ever seen the F-47 do what a B-47 can do with warriors, that’s what I like to call you, warriors driving the B-47 and the other F B things around the skies…”
