why do they keep removing people of color and women from assorted DOD websites then? doesn't seem very 'colorblind' to me. and they all clearly showed they had merit.
"Merit based" is the new dog whistle for "straight white men only." It's a joke. There is something desperately pathetic in a social group so afraid of losing social status that they want to institutionalize a historically contingent advantage by force of law.
It really feels like time travelling. "Online" history lessons.
Us didn't get the teachings apparently.
I wonder how far back this is going to proceed.
Maybe Elon's "fork in the road" is not the worst metaphor. We got stuck in a dead-end street.
Yep, it is cruel. Nothing new, really.
You can dream... They have dismantled most of the safeguards, the plan was always to nominate bozos that trigger his opponents ; no plan to help the country, no vision, just demolition and revenge.
The only thing that is basic is him, his leader (although I’m not sure who is leading) and the rest of the inner circle. Unfit and unqualified for the jobs they are in.
It's what they ALL do. Don't know if they think they're being clever or don't realize that it's so pathetically transparent, it embarrasses the person they're talking to.
They gaslight. That’s what they do. And they don’t care, there’s not even a hint of shame or embarrassment with them all. Which is more proof they are CINOs: Christians in name only.
It's acting and trying to buck up the macho persona as if that makes you better at combat. What makes you better is when you have smarter people who don't share secrets with reporters by accident.
So, if someone shares sensitive military information about an upcoming attack in, say, a group text, with a journalist BEFORE the attack happens, HOW will said person be held accountable???
Merit to the unqualified band of clowns excludes all of those you mention plus non billionaires, scientists, climate change activists, civil rights attorneys, Democrats, veterans, educators, and on and on and on.
Says one of the tw*ts who got rid of the only black person and the only woman in senior command and who is the least well qualified person ever to hold his job, as well as a clear, demonstrable liability!
This buffoon can’t make any statement - whether in public or on classified text chain - without mentioning the Biden Administration. He must have Biden Derangement Syndrome.
"Except for me. I'll be judged by the amount I can drink, how many lies I can tell in one minute - can't possibly match the pres - and how well I can suck up to Trump. Oh, right, and the sexual assaults. No one else qualifies for this job just like I do."
You had someone who was qualified and exemplary at their job who was removed for a Ken doll white supremacist with no experience, qualifications or respect for the job.
They all act like smug, little, cunts with secrets they're just dying to reveal to everyone. They can't wait until their plan is completely in the open, and no one to stop them. They're practically jonesing, like addicts about to get a fix.
This is so true. It's like they all feel like they're sitting at the cool kids table and they want every damn person who snubbed them in junior high to know it.
Idk that I’ve ever hear his voice before - is he normally this high pitched whiny?
But there’s something else, not booze, that has speed written all over it
When he starts saying “they get it, they get it” it’s so..

Just completely full of shit 😂
Has he ever done a presser where he doesn't come off as angry? It's very clear what kind of drunk he is. I would be surprised if he has hit the isopropyl.
Aside from the glaring incoherence & hypocrisy in light of this week’s events, I want them to tell me to my face why women & Black people can’t have meritorious service records.
We have for Years. It’s documented history. But racist bigot it KKK criminals, are envious and jealous of the accomplishments and success that they’ll never be able to achieve, that Black people have in spite of the opposition against us.
This! ⬆️ If only one Dem would have asked the question Colbert is asking in the exact manner and tone in which Colbert ASKED the question the legislator may have actually made an impact. #FightBack
How is it colorblind to systematically remove all references to the nation's greatest military achievements (Code Talkers, e.g.) in which one or more people were not White males?
Alcoholic TV host cosplaying as SOD blasts War Plans to the public while hero Reporter protects the United States and its soldiers by reporting this security breach and not publishing sensitive information.
Try thinking about the courage it took and be a tiny bit grateful that he has more honor and intelligence to understand that it was wrong. I understand his past is checkered but we need everyone to stand against this regime.
You know what matters in my book? What you’re doing TODAY. And he’s doing the right thing TODAY. When it almost certainly comes with threats against his life but might help move the meter for democracy
The thing most people don't want to understand about history is that heroes can be ordinary people with deep flaws. True villains can be loved by 1000s during their lifetimes. The courage of heroic decisions is enhanced, not diminished, by human frailty.
Having taught at both graduate and post graduate levels I'm alway shocked at how proper grammar is either not learned or not taught
Whoever wrote this chyron should know that two negatives make the latter a positive. If they're"in denial" it should read "that this WAS classified". But alas...
Omg, my poor English major heart is cringing at this... That does, in fact, mean the information in those chats was classified. Someone wasn't good at grammar 😂
I used to red ink a lot of college papers for grammar. Simple, careless mistakes. Stuff they should know. Students would be enraged about it: "Who TF cares?" 🤷
Because this is a game to the MAGATs in Congress. Almost every single one of them is a millionaire and most likely NONE of them have anyone close to them in the military. They DO NOT CARE. And it appears they don't care about elections either which makes me wonder what they know.

likely their intent - you don't push ALL the rules over the cliff is you are planning to obey the rules in 2 or 4 years
that said, mid term election is the last best chance for an election to work - feds not as involved, and there is less time to rig it

If you have people in FL-1 and FL-6 make sure they're voting April 1 since that could mean control of the U.S. House
How about the “wrongly disappeared immigrant crisis?”
What happens if an Administration CREATES A CRISIS in order to wrongly declare… “MARTIAL LAW?”
Hegseth: The DOD will be merit based and colorblind. You will be judged on how good you are at your job. Full stop.
Deep throat indeed
Here is the perfect example of the "Peter principle" in action
Looks like Pete’s out of a job. 👀
What does that say about this admin. 👀🤔
FIRE HIM.

He lies like a rug. There never were any ‘artificial quotas’ in the armed forces.

Judging by his "merits" he's as unqualified as they come, and we're only 2 months into this administration! 🤦🏻
Because I can sure hear it
This isn’t about making a mistake!
He was drunk at the time. 🤪
