Hegspeth is confirmed. Now What? He has no idea how to manage the Pentagon. So he is going to be dependent on his direct reports. Most of which require confirmation.
The Dems have to use whatever political skills they have to get qualified, rational people in these positions ?
Suggestions ?

You nailed it tho Sue!
Billionaire consortium funded Heritage specifically to draft the plan and train peeps to execute it!
Normally the civil service acts as the continuity & provides expertise. But it’s not clear whether many of those folks will stay in govt
We’re up 💩 creek without a paddle.
This scares me the most doesn’t even know geography we are screwed
B) dems have no chance of steering these seats.
C) next 2 yrs:
*need mid-level leaders to slow walk/block where they can
*Need to expose damage to working, middle class, rural. & expose grift.
D) how old are your kids in ‘28? Old enough to be resilient if you ran?
Bets on 1st time drunk in public? At a DOD debrief?
Everyone at DOD will be laughing behind their blank eyes of loyalty.
And they didn’t last night
All but 74 million Americans failed America.
The Democrats allowed the Republicans rewrite history and failed to effectively prosecute Donald Trump and his allies who planned and carried out the attack
If everyone one of them asked intelligent questions that made him look like an unprepared moron, maybe more moderate R’s would have been comfortable voting no.
R’s are now a party of predators/rapists.
make speeches on the Floor. Theysucceeded in having 3 Rs vote with them. That doesn’t look like “ rolling over” to me
Yes, yes, "make a plan and lead real resistance" — but a plan for what kind of extralegal action?

Stay complacent and suffer!
They forgot. They live here too.
Or, did Elon promise to take them to safety on his planet when the catastrophe hits?
After we destroy these vermin, we shall restore our laws and bring order and peace to the people.
They have defiled our sanctity and desecrated our ancestors' achievements.
WAR ⚔️🛡️⚔️
Why else would I be here under a non de plume through vpn's to speak out against the enemy. I encourage all to do the same.
Our ancestors fought and died for our civil rights... and these vermin scum took that away from them.
Their cries haunt my sleep. These evil bastards must be PUNISHED.
⚔️🛡️⚔️
I’d rather cut my 🐔 off than sit, let alone buy, a Tesla.
I’d rather watch my parents “perform intimately” than use Facebook or X.
I don’t go in Wetherspoon pubs or buy a Dyson … but I’m British and you have your own choices to make.
Boycott companies that are enabling the Trump regime, starting with Elon Musk’s X and Tesla, and any companies that advertise on X or on Fox News
In my opinion, let them burn it down
That’s factual but also sad!
Democrats are in the business of shearing sheep. Republicans are in the business of skinning sheep.
One wants the people alive and producing a steady flow of wealth to feed upon, the other wants to pillage the wealth that already exists and then bail before the crash.
The generals may be planning, but they know Vance is likely worse.
All need to be replaced with real fighters, like AOC.
One thing we can do, though, is swiftly organize a timely campaign to lodge opposition with senators who may listen to reason.
Unfortunately, I haven't seen this view in three days on BlueSky, quite disappointing.
House of Trump, House of Putin is a book that I was unable to finish reading, (library) but it did have some informative points in there about Russia, mobs, and mess.

This on 'We the People' for putting FOTUS back in the WH and voting majority GOP (albeit slim) down ballot.
"I no longer believe that freedom & democracy are compatible"
freedom & democracy… incompatible with the interests of these billionaire oligarchs
And many saw this coming.
But dictatorship was what Trump promised America, and it appears he’s delivering.
Though not on lowering the cost of eggs, groceries, housing prices or anything else he gulled the rubes with.
Make the military remember its oath to the Constitution and not this man??
Citizens can’t; dems can’t because of rules. Dems can’t change the rules as McConnell did to Obama.
We are stuck; like a car w/ all 4 wheels covered w/ mud that goes up to the windows.
Car is not moving
😳🤬

We all have to do our part.
Pls donate to her directly or fund more progressive legislators (preferably women) to help her. ACLU is just $5 for membership.
We are getting weaker by the second.
No reform. Destruction.
I have seen silence, other than a few social media posts from individuals. Where are the Democrats?

The voters have a say on who represents us in government. Maybe we should vote in folks we who will help.
Find my mother.
Tell her I wanna take her up on her previous offer to slap me into next year x4.
Oh, and these are some of my friends who would like to get that same offer from you.
If she wasn’t in Heaven before the seance, she will be when it’s over….
It only took Hilter 60 days…
Firing Inspectors General is insane. "I want to get rich, so I'm going to take all the locks off my property and sell the burglar alarms for scrap"?
To call Trump a halfwit insults number 0.5.
Cuban is half right: we need support.
Nobody called you stupid. Posting sloppily is a stupid thing for a smart person to do. So you are incorrect to say I was acting as if you were stupid.
That makes two incorrect posts...
My sigh.
But 3rd parties are spoilers in the current system; look at Canada and Harper to see what can and does go wrong
In a Parliament, everybody addresses the Speaker because the King is the enemy.
The parties can cut off the King's head, but not each other's.
They can and should cooperate, even with different views.
People need to open their eyes and quit helping to spread Maga and foreign propaganda that Dems aren't fighting.
Stop working for MAGA.

-Biden declared winner Nov 7th

He and his minions are merely fronts for the real button pushers implanted in the party over the last decade. Looks like a consortium of billionaires funded Heritage Foundation that lays it all out in Plan 2025.

The term was used to warn the religious leaders to repent and change their hearts toward God.

In Matthew 12:34, Jesus calls the Pharisees a "brood of vipers".

LOL 😆 😂 🤣 a la Mel Brooks HAHAHAHAAA
Lower personnel is going to be inherited by whoever wins in 2028. If Dems take office GoP will just blame them for all the issue they created.
Same as it ever was.
No sign ups?
Trump will just conscript your children
You guys may not have voted for this, but the apathy of thw American people has led to th8s when you knew it was coming.
Time for action.
National strike?
• Mitch McConnell
• Lisa Murkowski
• Susan Collins
That’ll essentially be the game, unless/until the Democrats and/or Independents can gain ground in the midterms.
Not that anyone should bank on that.
Trump and team, through their considerable echo chamber told lies and after lie, saying anything to everyone
Dems were constrained by things like shame, facts, being somewhere attached to reality…
It wasn’t even a fair fight
Democrats, at the behest of a foreign government (Israel), allied with Republicans to gaslight Americans about a literal genocide, while simultaneously funding it.
They ignored their constituents about it, blocked TikTok, and turned police on student protestors against genocide.
Maga gaslit the Muslim population as if maga was a better alternative to what was happening
Now they, like cops, fire fighters, unions, etc will all realize the mistake they made
But the damage is done
...at least that's how the GOP votes.
Democrats fall in love with a candidate, Republicans fall in line with their party.
The media sane washing this repugnant, vile, traitorous criminal is disgusting.
Trump is going to use the military just like Chavez and Maduro. They will be used to ensure those in power today stay in power indefinitely.
We didn't hire that drunk, Mark. We also knew his resume.
JFC
On our side, I feel that we focus too much on the Presidency. Not l/t strategy. We have billions that could be invested into vast info & influence networks. Their think tanks focus on power & influence over long-term. We don't
This is on US
This is ridiculous they just made a drunk rapist the head of the world's most lethal military.
Step 1: Stop trusting the Dems to do anything. They are compromised and complicit.
“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”

Stop saying shit and actually do something!!!
