The Repubs have delivered a lay-up for a military coup: speeches from the vote on Hegseth

While everyone was busy discussing Greenland and Canada:

And I gather by now that the corporations that own the Party Duopoly are cool with the US evolving into a Banana Republic.

People at JFK Jr.'s hearing were shouting. But the most powerful and consequential appointment was not challenged by the gallery. We can have a lousy health secretary and be left standing in 4 years. But if civil unrest grows and then Trumpty Dumpty resorts to the military as a domestic police force, the consequences could be well past 4 years!

[As is often the case with the Left, the priorities are misplaced…]

What a relief Hegseth can now deploy the military as a domestic police force!

Spot on analysis!

Some of the [now corporate] Dems are thinking: “This is great! All these protests…It could swing back to us by the midterms!”

No. It is SO over (has been since the Supreme, now Kangaroo, Court said Trump is a King…) We are now forced to enter a period of anarchy -we’ll see where it goes!

They are brazenly breaking laws and sneering at you, saying: “You know what? You guys will be too weak to do anything about us. The Kangaroo Court will ALWAYS back us (albeit it in a false equivalent and cosmetically appealing way…)”

Seeing as how Musk and Stupid Hitler are so into Nazism (and remember: even though he hates to read, Trump had kept a copy of Mein Kampf on his night table…), they might want to take in viewings of Der Untergang, to see how the real life movie will go:

My regrets I couldn’t give them a link to the long-playing Blueray version, which has lots of banal scenes, to demonstrate the banality of Evil -that’s them to a T!

Better figure someone has stocked up their bunker with lots of supplies.

We’ll see what happens now to guys like Musk, private military security, Hegseth, and DHS trying to protect him notwithstanding…

[You will note I said Hegseth, and not the DoD; there may be a number of generals who will not be tools like Hegseth and will band together, stand up, and do the right thing when the time comes -which is now looking like soon…]
[No, this is NOT a test…of Godwin’s Law! It’s the real deal Neil, albeit with the WWII weapons being replaced by the abuse of new tech…]

Cenk: joke time is over; the United States is now having an unconstitutional overthrow. Get on the right side of history.

Yeah, yeah, sure: maybe this will all get sorted out with some protests and strikes; and then the midterms will change everything!

When has a president in peace time fired senior military officers CONCURRENTLY??

Hope you all enjoyed that cup of coffee…

To all the Dems (and Indies?) waiting for a counterswing at the midterms: the Repubs KNOW that the cut of Medicaid (now committed to in the proposed budget) will turn a majority of voters in most States against the Repubs (even with a DOGE refund check!) So do you think they’re going to now calmly wait to lose in 2026?

They have already decided to go full dictator; that’s what the Department of Defense moves done in a rush are all about…
