Trump's Second Term

[jimbob]

When has Canada ever been on anything but it's best behaviour? They're the Ned Flanders of countries, complete with the boorish next door neighbour.

Not the Canadian military.

When Democrats were soiling themselves with glee during his confirmation hearing, his cool disdain for them told the world this would be the best Secretary of Defense in history. President Trump was spot on when he changed his title to Secretary of War.

He is indeed a WARRIOR.

Hegseth literally had Twitter open whilst looking at the reports on the operation. Which strikes me as a bit of a security risk unless very well managed

People are telling us they're shocked at the apathy. It's NOT apathy. It's despair. We've been fighting hard for a solid year. The courts were supposed to stop this. Our legislators were supposed to do their jobs. I've lost all faith. Hell, they stopped FEEDING PEOPLE on assistance in November...

I'm still fighting, but I'm so, so weary. how do I stop our country from taking over the world? Me? I've been shouting for a year. No, i'm not ok with it. Tnat's why we're asking for help stopping it.

And since the beginning of 2025 we have been telling you to rally your communities and go on a general strike. Everywhere. Shut the country down. Or do what the country of Georgia has done and protested everyday. Everyday!!!! The government has already decimated your healthcare and education, you have nothing left to lose. You need to start building community and fight back in anyway you can. Weaponized Helplessness does no good.

If only they had listened...

Trump: You know I wrote about Bin Laden one year before the World Trade Center. If they would’ve listened to me, they wouldn’t have the World Trade Center tragedy. I predicted Bin Laden. Did you know that?

Graham: I learn something everyday.

That Trump will lie about anything? Bit slow on the uptake, isn't he?

 

[P.J. Denyer]

Not the Canadian military.

I'm not saying they're soft, I'm saying they're nice, good neighbours, good allies. That doesn't mean they can't stand up for themselves.

I don't know. Is that easier or harder to remember than "person, woman, man, camera, TV"?

Where is it on the scale between identifying a picture of a lion or a camel?

Walz: "We've got conspiracy theorists, right-wing YouTubers, breaking into our daycares, demanding access to our children. We've got the president demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating funds that Minnesotans rely on. It's disgusting and it's dangerous."

The money Trump is threatening to cut off from blue states -- where does he think the majority of it originates?

Hegseth is going to strip Kelly of his rank.

He doesn't dare out him up in front of a court.

Six weeks ago, Senator Mark Kelly — and five other members of Congress — released a reckless and seditious video that was clearly intended to undermine good order and military discipline. As a retired Navy Captain who is still receiving a military pension, Captain Kelly knows he is still accountable to military justice. And the Department of War — and the American people — expect justice.

Therefore, in response to Senator Mark Kelly’s seditious statements — and his pattern of reckless misconduct — the Department of War is taking administrative action against Captain Mark E. Kelly, USN (Ret). The department has initiated retirement grade determination proceedings under 10 U.S.C. § 1370(f), with reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay.

To ensure this action, the Secretary of War has also issued a formal Letter of Censure, which outlines the totality of Captain (for now) Kelly’s reckless misconduct. This Censure is a necessary process step, and will be placed in Captain Kelly’s official and permanent military personnel file.

Captain Kelly has been provided notice of the basis for this action and has thirty days to submit a response. The retirement grade determination process directed by Secretary Hegseth will be completed within forty five days.

Captain Kelly’s status as a sitting United States Senator does not exempt him from accountability, and further violations could result in further action.

These actions are based on Captain Kelly's public statements from June through December 2025 in which he characterized lawful military operations as illegal and counseled members of the Armed Forces to refuse lawful orders. This conduct was seditious in nature and violated Articles 133 and 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, to which Captain Kelly remains subject as a retired officer receiving pay.

He neither knows nor cares, its now his as far as Trump is concerned and he will use it how he sees fit.

Kelly Replies.
According to the comments he should be shot.

Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.

My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.

Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.

If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.

In light of the illegal attack on, and kidnapping of a foreign head of state, I can see why Hegseth is so keen to paint that reminding the troops they don't have to obey illegal orders is treason.
