The Trump Presidency 2.0

[Ooh-Rah]

'scum gets told no, he cannot be a tyrant in charge of federals operating in California.

@The Quartermaster

It has been a well publicized policy here for many years that the use of derogatory terms or names toward other members or public figures is a no-go. You personally have been warned about this and most recently chose to reply with sarcasm and defiance.

Governor Newscom gets told no, he cannot be a tyrant in charge of federals operating in California.

My reaction when first hearing about the governor's actions was, "Uh, Supremacy Clause, anyone?" I just don't see how we could think state law supersedes federal law.

I also think it's highly ironic given that California regularly flouts federal law in things like immigration (sanctuary cities).

As soon as I read the text about a state bill telling Federal agents how to do their jobs I knew it was virtue signaling by Newsom. The tragedy here is the state did something it had to, HAD TO know was illegal and did it anyway. There is no way that bill's legal status wasn't brought up before the vote. For CA to draft, nominate, vote, pass, and sign an illegal bill into law shows a level of stupidity impressive by modern standards. They had to know this was illegal and did it anyway.

If Republicans don't trot this out and make that point every single day then they are missing a golden opportunity and show how badly they are being led, if led at all.

The folks that will continue to vote for people cut from such cloth are PROUD to see their brave leaders standing up to the 'OrangeMan'
...no one is above the law and all that jazz

Thinking about all those BDE change of command/Division dog and pony shows I had to sit through as a joe....sitting there while some Col. or Gen. sat there and talked, and talked....Now, watching Trump drone on and on in front of all the military flag officers : )

Poetic justice.

If only they understand and appreciate the irony.

I do wish he'd produce a list of people, ask them to stand up when called, and then tell them they are fired. Make the who and why known to all.

They don't. For political officers, its just elbow rubbing, face time with the boss.

Or just arbitrarily call out seat numbers: "If you are in seats 9, 28, 33, 75, 111...you're fired."

I didn't see near all of it - or even most of it - just a few meme worthy lines from SECWAR. I can't help but "hope" that there is a "classified" version of that discussion going on right this moment that affords the SECWAR with the opportunity to put out the "real" content that warranted this dumpster fire.

Otherwise, I'm going to need an Imodium AD once the memes wear off


I have to ask, what would a Staff Sergeant or O3 have learned if they'd watched the entire event ??

That we're getting back to business. I honestly thought everything was well said. And him calling out the fat generals at the Pentagon was great.

How about..its refreshing to see a former junior-ish officer in a position to implement changes we all knew were necessary but couldn't do anything about it?

you get that tidbit from a meme too?

Let us know what you think after you've watched it.

Holy mackerel

I remember Basic (1986), Drills could still lay hands on you...just part of the process. I got no problem with it, I never saw it done in a bad way, always a structured response.

My pops was a drill at Ft. Dix (I was born there in 76), pretty sure he was on the trail in early 70s.

He spoke on getting tossed around a few times but when he tossed someone, he got the stand down order.

Now, I recall basic at Leonard Wood in 93, we got hands on a few times, nothing crazy but it happened. Nothing like Full Metal Jacket. Lol

While he was at it, I was hoping the SECWAR would announce he was doing something about the god-awful Space Force service dress. That uniform is tough to look at, let alone take seriously.
