Trump and the drunk in charge of DOD blather on about competence and lethality. 3 star USAF General Caine meets NONE of the criteria to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs under the Nichols-Goldwater Act. Trump will give a waiver to another ass kissing unqualified white man!

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Roberts clerk.

Wow. The NYT reports that Acting Deputy AG Emil Bove coached Mayor Eric Adams' attorneys on what to argue in order to get the charges dismissed (namely, that the charges were interfering with the mayor's ability to cooperate with Trump's immigration crackdown): www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

Great point.

I don’t know if this is the plan. But if it is, let me rain on that parade. Elon will never allow Democrats to win the mid-terms. If the plan is not to get him out of our govt systems now, it’s a wrap.

Ann Telnaes says her Washington Post editor refused to print this cartoon depicting tech billionaires, including Post owner and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, paying homage to Trump. The free press is disappearing before our eyes. Brava to Telnaes for resigning in protest. open.substack.com/pub/anntelna...
