I just referenced it yesterday!
And embarrassed myself, because I thought it was based on a true story.
But, still…
Or prove that your Sharpie is the biggest.
Not to say that a loyalty oath isn’t in the cards but I could see invasions of Gaza and Iran as possibilities (Trump is trying to get our largest Afghani base back, to have available for going up against Iran). Another might be Venezuela to fight Tren de Aragua, Brazil, to go rescue Bolsonaro, etc.
Alternately, he could be planning an invasion of California or wherever, to “fight crime”. Trump doesn’t seem to care too much for the Posse Comitatus act.
After all, you don’t really need a loyalty oath, if you’re just going to be sending people to shine their shoes and play taps once a day.
The standards don’t count for the Dear Leader.
Early rumors are that it’s so that he can deliver a speech on “warrior ethos”:
That clears everything up. It certainly makes it clear the urgency of the gathering. This message clearly needs to be delivered as early as possible or else our way of life will collapse. One good thing is that the military leaders won’t miss out on any good golf this weekend. I know many of them like to kick back and watch golf on the weekend, but there doesn’t seem to be anything really going on right now. Just something called the “Ryder Cup”. Sounds pretty boring and I’m sure they’re glad they’re traveling instead of having to watch that.
Are you aware that Trump and Hegseth want to restore the Medals of Honor to the soldiers who perpetrated the Massacre of the Lakota at Wounded Knee? Medals which were revoked by Congress back in 1990 after they apologised for the Massacre! Trump and Hegseth want to reward war criminals.
Weird, he usually just pardons them…
DUI hire. That’s a good one.
BTW, isn’t this area supposed to be hit by a hurricane in the days to come?
Maybe the cabinet is going 25th, and he’s delineating the new chain of command. He’ll let them know who the top dog is as soon as Little Marco and JD fight it out, hopefully to the death.
Loyalty oath? Did someone say loyalty oath?
In the case of an actual high level meeting about super secret strategic plans as the cause of this meet-up, we wouldn’t know that it happened.
This was, I am sure, nothing more than a chump level attempt at thuggery. And I hope to holy hell that it backfires.
Maybe Frankie Goes To Hollywood could use the footage.
Maybe Hegseth is trying to appoint his successor “King Ralph”-style.
I wonder if any of them will explain to them how, historically, every time a warrior culture has gone up against a soldier culture, the warrior culture always loses?
My guess is that at some point in this meeting, there will be a declaration that goes something like: “This country is now on a war footing. You are to act like warriors. The rules are different now, and I decide them. If you disagree, you can hand me your stars right now.”
I remembered the movie “King Ralph” but didn’t know the plot.
It reminded me of Beetee in the “Hunger Games” series, who became the victor by electrocuting his fellow remaining tributes.
Still could have been an email.
I hope that when this is all said and done that somebody guesstimates the total cost and spreads this information throughout the country, along with the guesstimated cost of refurbishing the “gift aircraft” as well as the prospective ballroom, etc.
The Washigton Post might have done that, with more than a guesstimate, in the Before Times.
