There is 1 real takeaway, they wanted to do it to set a precedent, didn’t get the support, so backed off, for now.
Not much more to say, other than the fact that Hegseth is on his way out soon-ish. I’d say the new press secretary is not long for this government either but that’s another story.
I so want to see a trial of any high-level Nat-C’s like that douchebag Hegseth.
Talk about someone that peaked in high school…
How great would it be a mass drowning in the reflecting pool like a giant unlisted swirly
Not because it’s wrong, but because the threshold of unpopularity was crossed.
The key takeaway is that he’s a fucking limp dick jagoff who wanted to look tough, but he was so fucking stupid he didn’t realize the prisoner was in a fucking wheel chair before spouting his dipshit plan for a public execution.
Hegseth or donnie?
I figure Hegseth announced this and thought it was going to really
make him look so goddamned coolproject a “warrior ethos” that gets the Nat-C’s hard.I’m not sure he had the time to look into things - he’s been spending an absurd amount of time involved in taxpayer-paid influencer videos of him in ridiculously stupid exercise scenarios with the troops. The only thing dumber is when he has RFK jr working out with him in jeans and no shirt.
Nothing he does will ever make him look like a warrior after his little “oopsie daisy!” move after missing an axe target and hitting someone.
Oh that’s hilarious, never saw the skateboard one. That must have been one stupid morning show segment - dudes in suits given sneakers and skateboards?
Only reason is the guy was in a wheelchair and it was gonna look bad, nothing else.
If that guy wasn’t in a wheelchair it’d still be happening
I’m surprised he cares about it looking bad
He cares about it impacting midterms
That implies he isn’t going to steal the midterms or ignore the results
Well they could have just tied him to a pole or something
And have the Pole get shot and start a war with Poland?
Why does the line from the “Hunchback of Notre Dame” come to mind: Who is the monster and who is the man?
Trump has a sense of decency. Who knew?
I disagree.
I remember someone mentioned somewhere, that killing a paralyzed man doesn’t project the tough guy image that he wants people to see.
This. Pretty sure the guy is in a wheelchair.
Nah pretty sure it went something like:
SCENARIO 1:
PUTIN: “activate clown show.”
HEGSETH: “I got a good idea.”
BROADER DOWN-BALLOT REPUBLICANS: “are you insane? I get the plan to normalize shock and move us to authoritarianism. But wait until after the midterms you moron.”
SCENARIO 2:
TRUMP PUPPETEERS: “We need a distraction in the news cycle from the plan to help Putin out in his major ballistic missile attack against Ukraine.”
So They pick something so crazy it acts like a lightning rod, but something they can easily reverse as a decision and even make Trump look like he has some restraint.
