Fascist take over

A woman and a black man. Who wants to bet that those are his criteria right there?

What a slap in the face to a man that defends our country selflessly. Despicable.

IT’S TIME FOR ALL OF US TO ACT. Go to http://indivisible.org/ for action steps. PLEASE REPOST. As we speak, trump is putting himself in charge of our federal agencies via executive order. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/18/trump-order-power-independent-agencies-00204798

Let me guess, one is the wrong colour and the other is the wrong gender to *ever* be allowed to serve, let alone lead, in Hegseth's mind...

stallfortime.bsky.social•2 days ago

They are both black. I'm assuming that's the reason?

bousculer.bsky.social•1 day ago

Wow. Senate Dems will be forced to unleash a flurry of press releases!

rickiklein.bsky.social•2 days ago

Only straight white boys need apply.

starlightwishes.bsky.social•2 days ago

They are now getting rid of the military people who know what they're doing. So only The Drunk is in charge. They're destroying the military because they fear it might move against them at some point.

stallfortime.bsky.social•2 days ago

Or they are putting in loyalists who will obey illegal orders. Right now it seems they're softening the battlefield. Releasing disease economic instability propaganda and chaos will weaken us significantly. Then they will turn the military we pay on us.

charlieharry.bsky.social•1 day ago

Imagine putting your life and family on the line for this country and then a drunk ass tv personality with zero experience and Nazi tattoos can fire you! Tell me again why people believe America is great?

kittrdg.bsky.social•1 day ago

Military should demand Hegseth resign! This is a fucking coup to put yes men in who will turn the military against Americans.

stormwolfhall.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'd resign before I'd work for an UNQUALIFIED racist drunk POS like this asshole anyway - this administration is nothing but the revival of the Confederacy

But less competent

nutmom123.bsky.social•2 days ago

Disgraceful. How do we expect someone to dedicate their lives to service when they are subject to disgrace from a rogue political party?

skepphilo.bsky.social•1 day ago

You don’t.

mamuofthewest.bsky.social•1 day ago

Twould be interesting to see the percentage of firings that are black, brown or women folk. Kinda sure that is what they are aiming for…

chuckyou2x.bsky.social•1 day ago

A Black man & a woman. Of course Trump's sycophants are gonna fire them. Can't have any diversity. Can't have Black people & women acting like they're more competent than the weak white men in power, now, can we?

tbuck501.bsky.social•2 days ago

Of course. He’s Black, and she’s a woman. So, Hegseth will follow the leader, and get rid of them.

adambear.bsky.social•2 days ago

If so, why is Trump so WEAK that he's afraid to stand next to these individuals and do so publicly?

dantansky.bsky.social•2 days ago

Makes sense. The man is black.

eleutheriaelpis.bsky.social•2 days ago

If his happens, it will reek of racism and misogyny. Is he going to to go for an all white military next?

“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.”

It’s time for the Joint Chiefs and Generals to organize and defend the Constitution

joan3dogmom.bsky.social•1 day ago

And this is exactly what has been running through my mind. Roust the whole lot of them and throw away the key. It can’t just be wishful thinking, right? 💙🙌🏽💙

chelleluna.bsky.social•15 hours ago

I keep hoping for this everyday too.

itsallgreektome.bsky.social•2 days ago

What tipped off the rabid anti DEI dogs/SOGE first, the admiral's name or his skin color?

Pete H--another Nazi in the *rump regime doing his racist bidding. Disgusting.

agora01619.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hegseth always hated that two black men were leading the US military.

skimac22.bsky.social•1 day ago

Sure let’s make Kid Rock General next. Their goal is destroy all things.

bobm0220.bsky.social•2 days ago

If Hegseth thinks any of these guys are going to carry his bottle of vodka, he's got another think coming.

churchlady320.bsky.social•2 days ago

There are procedures to follow. If he does not follow them, lawsuit.

billwatkins.bsky.social•2 days ago

It won’t matter. He’ll be out and some psycho white side will be in. A few years later he’ll win the suit and get back pay. However, he’ll never be reinstated and the damage will be done by that time.

churchlady320.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not thinking personal suit but one to stop the firing now.

billwatkins.bsky.social•2 days ago

Of course. You’re absolutely correct. And he still needs to launch a personal suit.

My view is that they are moving so fast on purpose to outpace accountability. By the time midterms come around, the districts will be so gerrymandered there will be nothing left.

churchlady320.bsky.social•2 days ago

Marc Elias is having serious success at ending gerrymandering. IF we have midterms, that will have significance.

billwatkins.bsky.social•2 days ago

Marc is doing fantastic work under unrelenting attacks. He’s a true warrior.

Ugh, the jutted jaws are out

Clown show.
