Nothing to see hereβjust the Trump administration officials who'd oversee an invocation of the Insurrection Act and subsequent martial law declarations moving into military-base housing.
Miller, Bondi, Rubio, Hegseth, the Secretary of the Army and Secretary of the Navy...
Pay no attention to this.
After watching this shit show in Iran can we now agree that maybe having academics isnβt a bad thing?

How bad is it when quoting Dubya makes him seem... decent...compared to our current president π
Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

Deleting this because I've been told this is part of a farewell meal for departing soldiers.
Fine, read the piece -- six figures for a piano for the Army chief of staff's private residence, more money on furniture in a year than the Pentagon previously spent in a decade, tons of waste.
