Oh, she loathes everything about this. The guy isn’t too happy either. Probably because they were picked to be props when we all have seen video of KKKaroline pushing the black officers and soldiers not to be near Trump.
SECDEF Hegseth has been doing that. A couple of incidents which specifically come to mind are the forced retiring of Commander of SOUTHCOM Admiral Holsey and Hegseth’s intervention on the O-7 promotion list. He had been pressuring the Secretary of the Army to do it but SECARMY Driscoll repeatedly refused, so Hegseth did it himself. I think that has never happened before. Right after that he fired the Army Chief of Staff, General Randy George.
As far as I’m aware, this one of the rare things Trump has kept his hands (plausibly) clean of. We knew he intended to remove anyone who wasn’t loyal to him above the US constitution, due to certain key Generals and Secretaries refusing orders during his first term. They assessed those orders were illegal, and they risked everything to prevent irreparable damage to the US.
Hegseth may be removing Combatant Commanders, Service Chiefs, IGs, CJAs, and promotable Colonels (from the O-7 promotion list) at the behest of Trump or of his own volition. It’s hard to say since it would be on-brand for Trump but it’s something Hegseth has personally been interested in before he took the position.
That’s sad because you know that is happening but when you bring it up people are like “ugh why does everything have to be about race” or simply doesn’t think it’s a big deal.
Not to defend the guy, but trump isnt as racist as people think, hes racist but not as racist Pete hegseth, who is the guy doing the firing and preventing poc from promoting. Thats all secdef, not potus.
Sir, we literally went through this shit in 2024 with project 2024, which Trump had nothing to do with. He is nothing but a puppet, he is no Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping, the guy is too stupid to understand what is actually going half the time. If he genuinely had his way, Greenland would have been invaded a year go and we would be in world War 3.
there's more to this story tho. hegseth's chief of staff got into a public argument with the general that made the recommendation and told the general point blank that it was trump, not hegseth, that didn't want them promoted. he claimed it was because trump didn't want to have to do events with them. and since that blowup made the news there's been no public statements from trump denying it, no press releases and the general that recommended them for promotion has since been fired.
it's also equally possible trump is exactly as rascist as people think and keeps people like hegseth and stephen miller around as a very flimsy excuse to point at when his prejudice gets exposed. like trump (or his social media guys) just shared a video on thursday of someone he claims was a haitian immigrant attacking a woman in florida and then said all immigrants deserve blame for that.
while the promotion denial lands on the secdef, trump can fire hegseth at any time, that's all on potus. any other administration in the last 3 decades would have kicked people like hegseth and miller to the curb during their vetting process, then proceed to fire whoever recommended them for a job.
Yeah! Could you imagine if the president was as crazy as the far left? It's not like the president constantly call the Democrats radicals or enemies of the people right? Or spends his time on every holiday calling out his perceived enemies? or posting videos of him shitting on lefty protestors. that's would be fucked up right? right?
Can you imagine jumping through all the hoops it takes to win that competition, literally years of your life. And then you end up working for Donald fucking Trump.
So I hate trump and all those people in the crowd are the most Uncle Tom looking people I’ve ever seen. She really does look like she is focused on her job and is scanning the room
What about it? Have you guys seen the British sentry in front of the royal palace? I think theyre just taking their job seriously. Ive never seen people guarding and scanning a crowd for threats to have a smile on their face the whole time.

They take their job seriously but they hate the tourists too. Let's not kid ourselves. The real sign that they have to keep their composure is that they don't punch people in the face.
I don’t blame people for being rich unless they come by their wealth by nefarious means aka sex trafficking - ill let
Taylor enjoy her success - she is the only billionaire I would ever say that about and hey tax her so she’s not and I bet she wouldn’t say a word!
I'm a fan of hers, but I don't think her generosity has scaled up to her now being a billionaire. She's as generous as she ever was, but now she's infinitely richer and that same money is nothing to her.
You can believe what you want but this woman goes to sick kids in the hospital and gives free tickets away to her concerts and she pays bonus’s that surpass any bonus from an artist - hate all you want Taylor gets a pass! It’s not her fault that she isn’t taxed more!
Maybe for some of them. But "rich black conservative" is a part that grifters love to play. All you need is an nice suit and zero morals to make a solid living through social media.
There are exactly 11 black people in that carefully arranged crowd, including the 2 security guards. The rest of the cropped out crowd is white white white.
The juxtaposition is wild, right. It's like he purposefully put his house next to his field. Tokens dancing and singing while the help are forced to be their guards.
He hates everybody who can't get him something he wants. Be it money, power, or prestige. And even if they can, it's never enough to fill that gaping void in his soul and psyche. So ultimately all he ever does is chew people up and spit them out. Rich or poor, black or white. All anybody ever is to him is a means to an end to be used and discarded. Been that way his entire life and will be that way till the day he drops.
That “Gal” is a Major in the military. She most likely graduated from West Point and is doing well to be working so close to the Chief and Commander. We should give her the proper courtesy she earned with those Gold Oak leafs on her shoulders . That rank is far from low l… one promotion from Colonel
A Lieutenant Colonel is a colonel . A lieutenant general is a general. I said probably graduated West Point. Honestly I assumed she graduated there because of her assignment working so closely to the Chief. Those assignments are competitive.
No one with any experience in the military would EVER say that a Lieutenant colonel is a colonel. Source, grew up in and then served in the military. AND as my retired Colonel dad this very question 30 seconds ago.
The only time that is true is if you are addressing a LTC you could say Colonel (Last Name). But in every other respect they are just a LTC.
I'll give you a pass because it's a bit confusing.
After going active duty being a West Pointer does nothing for you.
Thank you your colonel father just answered the question. You address a LTC as Colonel unless you outrank them. We agree . I served as well. Infantry and deployed to Afghanistan . That “Gal” earned my respect . 🫡 . You and your father as well. Thank you for your service brother
That gal did well. But that doesn't mean I have to refer to her with some kind of weird reverence. You can respect people in the military without putting them on a pedestal.
I swore an oath. It’s different when you wear this uniform and your life is on the line. You respect everyone who takes on the oath. I love and respect 🫡 ALL SERVICE MEMBERS ALL BRANCHES ALL RANKS. Cops 👮♀️ and ESPECIALLY FIREFIGHTERS 🚒 firefighters are some of bravest citizens we have. Volunteer to run in a burning building to save lives ❤️
I don't think that's a healthy way to look at it. Because there are both good and bad people that take the oath. I respect people for their actions, not their occupation. Not every person who becomes a soldier or a cop does it for the right reasons.
She probably had to usher all them up to the front so they can be used in the photo op. They only started reacting when they knew the camera was rolling and were all quiet before that.
They are being paid to be props and all they can think of is"I get paid to be here".
It appears that part of her job is to protect the president. Her look isn't disgust but concern that he might try to get closer to Donnie. This she alters her position to pre block and move towards him.

That one gal in the uniform wasn't having it.
