Last time I asked this here, how the hell americans are so passive to everything that is going on, a guy answered "he was in his 40's and too tired to protest/give a fuck".
IMO its almost deserving. Ive heard my whole life americans asking "why people from country X dont just stand up to MADURO/PUTIN/ORTEGA/SADDAM/NSERT NAME" and fix their country. To see americans be so apathetic is very telling.
Those countries dont even have independent institutions to fight against autocrats. America is seeing their institutions being turned to shit and refusing to act.
i remember the magats were praising this guy before he was elected how he was the patriot veteran American deserves or some stupid shit they usually spew.
Depend depends on their level of clearanceThe brother and lawyer are also employees of the Pentagon. Does that help?
I cut my teeth protesting the Iraq war in 2003 in a city dubbed “little Beirut” by gw bush’s chief of staff.Agreed. I don't expect the average person living in America to be on the street carrying a banner, but it's just pathetic how the response seems to be just checking out even further, posting memes, squealing sarcastism or whataboutism - or rallying the troops for the democrats for the next election.
Pathetic. A beacon on the hill? Pfffft

All they got is we need to give Whiskey Pete his due process before firing him. We got to make sure he is guilty of a second Signal thread talking about War errrr I mean attack plans with people who dont have clearance to talk about War errrrr I mean attack plans.
The fact those same Rubes threw a fit when Hillary used unsecured communications have given Ivanka, and now Whiskey Pete a pass for doing the same thing as a government employee.
Elections have consequences. Anything the democrats do is laughed off as TDSI hear you, mate. I guess a big part of my frustration is with the missing or totally inept opposition to this kind of brutish horror.
It's time for some serious fucking changes, clearly. It's equally clear, to me, that voting Democrat in the next election isn't anywhere near a suitable fix to this level of a problem.
Where is the democratic action in the streets, the demand for a more representative system, the demonstrations and strikes that would actually do something?
Instead, we have neck beards calling this "hilarious" and seeming like they actually even enjoy this kind of insanity because it's "the other side" doing it, meanwhile there are serious and tangible impacts on America, and the entire globe.
It's fucking absurd to " u mad bro " everything in life.
DUI hire.
Should have kept the black dude.
So you believe the story?How loyal are you to Trump? Because that's the only qualification.
They should have at least kept CQ Brown as CJCS. All that shit Hegseth talked instantly evaporated when he actually met him and had a chance to work with him. He brought an extraordinary level of experience to the table and would've upheld his oath to provide guidance to the best of his ability. Trump fired him anyway.
I'm not gonna say they dont care for minorities, but their blatant scrubbing of Military History and that firing sure do make it look that way.
This is just sad. Was he seriously the best choice?
Utter and unwavering devotion to their cult, is what they want.
Pretty funny watching them call for this guy's head over some irresponsible texting, while they didn't even flinch at Biden holding nobody accountable over 13 US Soldiers being killed in the Afghanistan withdrawal. Not to mention the innocent family they labeled "ISIS" and vaporized for some good headlines...
Oh', but the texts!
As far as I am aware the Whitehouse has not denied the story.So you believe the story?
Word on the street says Pete doesn't actually want to go to war with Iran, and has advised the President against striking them. Therefore, Rubio and Mike Waltz want him out. The Signal chat stuff (latest one, not the first one) is being blown up in order to have him replaced.
*not my theory, but intriguing

Heh. The NYT actually reported that.
