Rules:
1. Be civil

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
though his motivations are unclear.
No, no. It's pretty clear why.
Pretty sure his motivations are super clear,
Well, definitely black and white...
just white.
And gendered.
Now come on guys... it might not be racism this time... It could be good ol' nepotism.
Need to stack them ranks with yes men and sycophants. It worked so well for Putin.
We want military leaders who are critical thinkers, who have studied the principles on which our founding fathers established this republic, and they are educated and prepared to win wars.
Which is why we need to protect them from wokism, not focus too much on any of the personal libraries of our founding fathers who were well read on both Islam and Roman history, and ensure they are brainwashed in the way we need them to be. I know, I know, we know what he is, he knows what he is, it's just maddening to listen to someone be so earnestly disingenuous.
Gotta love Sleepy Don in the corner of that photo.
One of these days, he'll fall asleep and won't wake up. And it'll be caught on camera, and it'll be glorious.
Makes you wonder how long it'll be before anyone notices.
Whevever Trump nods off, he always perks up when he hears his sychophants praising him. Anything else - that pesky President stuff that takes up the time between having his ego stroked - is nothing but an opportunity for a nap.
his "falling asleep" is a defense mechanism every time epstein is getting in the news.
he would have to be drink alot of alcohol.
If Crown Prince Couchfucker had a fart's chance in hell they'd have already put the the orange shitstain down for his longest nap. He's only still there because the hate-filled incompetents surrounding him are terrified of when he's not.
As an aside, one lesson I learned from growing up with and around hard-core racists: there's always more where that came from. The hatred is not just limited to people of color; that's only the superficial form. When you dig a little deeper you realize they just hate, hating is what they do, and the racism is only a matter of direction. That's always just the lily-white tip of the racist iceberg, which is made of loathing through and through. There's always more where that came from.
And his inner circle are ALL absolutely hard-core racists. They would dirt-nap him in a heartbeat if it served them to do so.
Cholesterol can't work fast enough.
dont you mean cirrhosis.
You just gave me something to hope for
ETA: think he'll be hot mic'd one of these meetings and we'll hear him snore?
to me, DEI was never about hiring women or people of color over others, but rather to ensure unqualified white men don't end up in charge.
looks like we're back to the status quo.
This is the bullshit I don't understand. When will they start looking into unqualified white men?
When will the unqualified white men start looking into unqualified white men? Any day now, rest assured!
We investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong.
They keep saying they're cleaning house, but I only see them cleaning up one part of the house. Curious. 🤔
What part are they cleaning? Cleaning as in changing it for the better.
Or so they say.
they did but unfortunately unqualified white men™ were in charge of the investigation and they found no fault by themselves.
Sounds like hegseth likes DEI after all, just for different skin tones and reproductive arrangements.
Well considering his predisposition i would say his motivations are pretty clear, two don't have a penis and two are the wrong colour, it's like that episode from Family Guy where entry is based on colour and another example is Space King NO GIRLS ALLOWED!!!!
and have that "paint color chart" when they were stopped on a bridge by an officer.
No, you have it all wrong, it's that two have the wrong color. Get out of here with those extra letters, you Euro weenie!
MURICA!
Bitch move 🫴him.
Good. Get out of the military. Two women and two black men that can say they were on the right side of history and were not a part of the suicidal war machine.
Seriously. This is the system giving them a chance to reflect as they get directly impacted by it. It's giving them just a fraction of the treatment that the US military has to the global South for decades.
Gee, I wonder why he blocked the promotions for these 4 officers in particular........I guess we can never know
Hegseth is a sad little turd
a drunk turd, who has his own GLAMOUR makeup room in the pentagon.
White Jesus loves you Mr. Most Supreme Secretary of War!!!
hes going to call his team the "war council" soon.
Show some respect. That's our Lord and Slaver Supply Side Jesus you're referring to.
Who might have thought that MAGA DEI think was a excuse for open racism. 🤔
We'll take all the women and minority generals and they can have their anti-dei bootlicker generals.
If things come to a civil war, I think the good guys would be guaranteed to win: The Regime is throwing away genuine loyalty and talent, replacing it with sycophancy and corruption.
Thats gotta be an amazing morale booster for everyone...
I think you meant morale, but I guess it works both ways.
I did, and it does!
I fixed it though, thank you
