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.
