Ladies and Gentlemen, the next VCSAF…

I genuinely like Dan Caine and I don't think he should accept this opportunity.

USAID Contractor doesn’t like USAID.

West Point had this fella speak to the cadets in August. Definitely a Duty, Honor, Country guy.

Halo. I am John. If you are a recently laid off federal employee with a security clearance; I am recruit for very nice job. 100% remote work with travel opportunities to Belarus, Hong Kong and Bangkok. Contact me on Signal at: [email protected]

Happy Retirement Mitch McConnell. Let’s take a moment to remember the @duffelblog.com ‘s finest hour.

My new Electric Snow Shovel is due to arrive on Wednesday. So, when it doesn’t snow on Thursday; you are all welcome.

Among everything else, what a shitty fate, to have national systems of support dismantled by two men who have never once changed a diaper.

Not long ago, I casually explained the Apartheid era “pencil test” to a class of undergraduates. They were all shocked. I waited two beats then said “exactly.”

Ladies and gentlemen, the man with the launch code has a public Venmo and Laura Loomer is a friend. prospect.org/politics/202...

Alright ya’ll, who has my Berlitz Arabic books from 2002?

NEW: HIV/AIDS workers are cut off from lifesaving medicine and money that the Trump admin has approved access to due to Elon Musk's DOGE. This is by @knibbs.bsky.social

Black History Month is as cancelled as it will ever be at NCTC.

Called it. Hegseth replaces Black History Month with “N-Word Tuesdays.”

Just got the call. Fired. I was the DEI coordinator for 2nd Marine Division. My job was to somehow make the Marine Corps less gay. I am the reason running shorts are so long now.

Also unacceptable: continuing to use unequivocally false stats on in office presence. Half of federal workers cannot telework AT ALL, and those that can are in the office 60% of the time, consistent with peers in the private sector. Stop validating lies.

I feel sorry for the Philadelphia police tonight, says the guy who hasn’t checked the score.

#hegsethpolicies Black History Month will be replaced with N-Word Tuesdays.

Some newly divorced reserve LCDR is about to make their next drill weekend super awkward.

Don’t say you didn’t see this coming (from March 2024)

Some E-4s are about to buy some CyberTrucks with that sweet COVID back pay.

No excuse for Trump endangering Milley and his family, but a prophylactic pardon will short-circuit the political and judicial processes and, for Trump supporters, legitimate the charge.

Nothing says American soft power like exporting January 6th to our allies. They even stole our bit about smashing through windows with riot shields.

$20M firework display from someone who can afford it.

I assume Hegseth, a sexual predator with untreated substance abuse, will behave more responsibly when given more power

One of these days I need to sit down and talk about the connection between the 1890s cult of masculinity dudes and the cult of masculinity that exists today, because the comparisons are both striking and also reveal that most of what is happening today is a grift

This was in the context of Clint Lorance, who murdered 2 Afghans and threatened to shoot a five year old.

These guys are gonna be so pissed when they find out how shitty all these offices are.

Good call by the service academies. UAP are trash.

Roger Stone associates back in the news. theins.press/en/politics/...

When you’ve never seen The Untouchables…

Duffelblog pitch: Special Forces community in crisis as POG veteran pulls off more successful terrorist act than career SF NCO

I would love to see some A-lister go through a truck stop bargain bin. Tarantino: “Trash, Trash… Oh! Godzilla vs Kong an underrated masterpiece. Here’s why…”
