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!

This is not the thing about that meeting that the press should be focusing on.
Horrifying stuff. Truly chilling.
Well, at least hopefully this is the moment some of those generals decide they will uphold the Constitution rather than back Trump's inevitable formal military coup in 6/12/24/36 months.
All the brass right now: "this could have been an email".
Fuck, it could’ve been a Signal chat.
This is a good read and its more than just beards. All right men we are going to be running this department of war the way jesus would...:
"But over 45 minutes, a very animated Hegseth railed against what he called “stupid rules of engagement” in the military, cited Jesus, talked up his book, and repeated a litany of talking points."
Wait what? This fucktard summoned every General not for a forced loyalty pledge, but because of beards? What in the every loving fuck?
The beards are a metaphor for the Epstein thing
"Shit. Everyone figured out we were going to force them to take a loyalty oath to President Pedophile! Now we can't do that, or we'll look stupid. Better just talk about beards then. Maybe I can take the opportunity to sell some books."

Hegseth added the Pentagon would review its definition of “toxic leadership, bullying and hazing”, so that the military’s leadership could enforce its standards “without fear of retribution or second guessing”. He also said that military personnel “should not pay for serious mistakes for your entire career”, and that some infractions would be removed from service records.
Sounds like interesting times ahead.
Okay, but how much booze is every soldier supposed to drink? 🍻
What a fucking dipshit
