Hegseth doesn't inspire anyone.  The generals don't respect him.  He's a joke and they all know it.

Even Trump likely holds Hegseth in real contempt.
Just like any toady pretty much.

Lots of murmurs about unhappy brass. Thought this meeting was a clownshow. Trump and Hegseth need to tread lightly. Generals don’t play games, and don’t appreciate being disrespected.

Apparently Trump and Hegseth thought military brass were run of the mill MAGA, and that they’d be received enthusiastically.

Hegseth saw the movie 300 and confused that with modern warfare.

lol sure, guys

Do you just wake up every morning and click on any clickbait anti-Trump story you can find to jerk off to? It’s all so predictable.

Hesgeth summoning hundreds of generals to meet with him and Trump was a fairly significant event..

I don't entirely disagree with everything the "Secretary of War" had to say. However, they are trying to take it way too far, way too fast. Also, this is not how it's done. You don't dress generals down as a group in a public format.

Meanwhile, Trump was largely rambling and incoherent as he declared war on American cities.

To say neither Hesgeth nor Trump was was well received is putting it mildly.

You, Tempo, and Murph’s wet dream right here. Man the left still just can’t figure out how to do satire and memes the same way the right does. Sad.

The right does satire?

So I assume you watched the whole thing and not just clips that were fed into your algorithm for the sole purpose of confirming your bias? Or media commenting on it in a predictable way? I haven’t watched it so I don’t know. But I’m not going to let the media tell me how to feel about what happened or what was said.

I watched the full speeches.

I about fell outta my chair watching Hesgeth talk down to the generals. They were not amused.

Trump was Trump. The generals were not amused.

Right - good at memes
Left - has basic understanding of economics

vote accordingly

Fortunately they weren't *raised* in a banana republic even if Trump is trying to turn the US into one, and they won't be going out and doing a coup. They are just gonna ride this out the best they can.

I watch a few clips of Trump himself without commentary, and those pretty much serve as anti-Trump stories all by themselves. No jerking off involved, just repeating "Serenity now"

Thing is FOX will play those clips and not understand that they are proving what a shithead he is.

You only watched clips. I watched nothing. Ergo, I have more knowledge of the topic.

This explains all those Cs and Ds you got at Illinois - yeah well you only read the notes, you didn't go to class. I neither read the notes or went to class - not gonna let Kinkos tell me how to study!

(wait - are you actually an Alum, or just a IL-47 Alum?)
