Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Are they going to stop following orders though?
I think their lack of applause and total silence speaks volumes.
Trump even commented that it was the quietest room he'd ever been in. Someone laughed. Trump told them not to laugh and that if they didn't agree they could leave and lose their rank.
I think it went absolutely terribly for them.
Here's hoping.
He really said that to the person who laughed? I mean, I should not be surprised.
Yeah I'm not on Twitter or any of the kicroblog sites where all the clips seems to be, but this YouTuber did a video on the event which shows a couple such clips.
3:10 Hegseth gets no applause when he clearly expected it
4:36 trump gets laughed at.
Absurd times, man. Wow.
We're going to find out.
Right? I'm sorry but the words of Bill Hicks still being true years after his death. Fuck the military.

The people of the US are experiencing internally what most global south country have experienced heavily since WW2.
We have normalized violence against targets we label as "terrorists". The only difference now is the "terrorist" happen to have been born on/live on the dirt we call the USA.
These Joes are use to killing innocent people. We've normalized it for generations. Don't be shocked when a bunch of hired killers start doing their job at home.
miss the dark poet to this very day, always spot on
