You change about a dozen words in a Wikipedia article (you pick which side) and you see what Trumps vision is.

@TheIOGuy Jesus was a Chuck?

Hey @Militarydotcom , "Mortar Jesus" was posted on @usawtfm last May. It has zero to do with current events. Been up before this administration was sworn in. Blessed. military.com/daily-news/202…

@RepVindman @anneapplebaum @SecWar Could you tap @LindseyGrahamSC and remind him of these things too?

Former Army JAG here. No quarter orders are a violation of the law of war and Geneva conventions. This is the same order reportedly given during the Caribbean boat strikes. @SecWar is establishing a pattern of issuing illegal orders. I’ve trained hundreds of soldiers on the law of war — our service members have an obligation to follow that law.

@TRobinsonNewEra @COLRICHARDKEMP I’ve seen this movie before. It didn’t end well for either Alec Guinness or Richard Harris. Both of them lost their heads.

Retired British Colonel @COLRICHARDKEMP warns of civil war heading to the UK; “The Government are scared of stopping the Islamification of the UK... Goes on to say the indigenous people will fight the invaders and the ruling class will have to pick a side.

@AriFleischer …we were already in a quagmire. NAILED IT

Today’s media cheer against the US, overstate enemy abilities, understate ours and paint a picture that the US is losing, while we’re winning. It’s more true today as they cheer against Trump in Iran. Within 10 days weeks of this 2001 NYT doozy saying our military efforts in Afghanistan were bogged down, the key city of Mazar e Sharif fell to the US and our ally the Northern Alliance, and Kabul fell days later. This story was written a mere three weeks after our counter-offensive against Al Qaeda began. But that didn’t stop the NYT from saying we were already in a quagmire. The media are doing the same thing today in Iran. From a military point of view, Operation Epic Fury has been a huge success. We don’t know yet about who will run Iran, but the press will always see America’s cup as 1/10th empty. If today’s press covered WW II, they would have written mostly about civilian casualties, friendly fire, and failed missions, downplaying the overwhelming allied victories against the Nazis.

@Angry_Staffer Umm…I have some questions If we’ve destroyed 100% of Irans military, who the hell is dropping mines or flying drones? That makes as much sense as prices dropped 1000%

100% of their military capability is destroyed but also they’re still going to keep launching missiles and drones Make it make sense

@MJRosenspire @1610captain You can’t leave until we bring back Frock Coats

@1610captain I’m not gone yet, but this was a change of command haha

End of an era

@TomMillerNews @AustinAirport @avabrendgord_tv @Amtrak is just down the road.

Crazy long wait times at @AustinAirport. The line is out the door and people tell our crew there that they’re missing flights left and right. Leave early if you’re flying today! 🎥:@avabrendgord_tv

@SenTomCotton @JohnCornyn I’l take “shit Tom never said” for $500

As Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, let me make clear: whoever leaked this lied. CNN should do some fact-checking. The U.S. has planned for Iran to try to close the strait for decades.

*mumbles* It’s Biden’s fault for the high gas prices isn’t it?

@infantrydort @6Voodoo @codym1917 @PeteHegseth OnLy with the GPC

@6Voodoo @codym1917 @PeteHegseth Wait is it really lol

The Submarine Combat Patrol Insignia hasn't been issued since the Korean war from what I'm tracking. Probably because ship to ship kills are so rare. May need to dust this one off for the squids. It's a submariner's rough equivalent to a CIB @PeteHegseth

@SecVetAffairs @POTUS @DeptVetAffairs Is this why I’m waiting for a year on dental?

Unbelievable. Worst transportation secretary in history suddenly has opinions on how to run an agency. There’s more work to do, but under @POTUS, @DeptVetAffairs is serving Veterans better than ever, including cutting the backlog of Vets waiting for VA benefits by more than 60%, opening 33 new health care facilities and investing nearly $5 billion to upgrade VA medical facilities.

@RpsAgainstTrump Jokes on her. I voted for the Sham Wow guy. …he had no chance. But … Fuck it.

Valentina Gomez, the extremist MAGA candidate for Texas’s 31st congressional district, lost the Republican primary and received only 10% of the vote. She is now like a typical Trumper claiming the primary was “rigged”: “I have video evidence that my election has been RIGGED to benefit 84 yr old Congressman John Carter. If I publish this video, they will send me to prison because it involves the VOTING MACHINES,” she wrote on Twitter.

@JimLaPorta Do we show her the photos of TOC ‘s before we get the buildings?

Or maybe I was not a reporter, but in the military when Benghazi occurred?

@FPWellman @tedcruz Oh this is gonna get interesting

Do you find dead American Marines funny, Ted? This is why you’re hated by everyone. You have never done anything courageous in your life. Never risked anything. You literally left your state behind during an ice storm and have the audacity to belittle those of us who served to make a political gotcha. You’re pathetic and spineless. I can’t wait to see you back in the minority being a pathetic nobody again.

Were your friends Germans wearing Nazi tattoos like you?

@Angry_Staffer Which sucks. I couldn’t bring in my hearing aids - because they’re Bluetooth. I was gonna use them as headphones.

FYI: deleted my post on Susie Wiles watch for the sake of accuracy. Looks like she was wearing a Whoop, not an Apple Watch. Newer Whoops are on the NSA approved list, BUT most SSOs (rightfully) don’t allow any sort of Bluetooth devices in SCIFs regardless of NSA approval.

@Angry_Staffer It was just begging to happen. 😈

@Angry_Staffer @grok, could you write a snappy response?

I’m begging you, with tears in my eyes. Please stop using AI to write your tweets. We see the AI cadence. It’s not fooling anyone. Say it with me: AI is for research, not for becoming your entire personality.

@Bobjone77105131 @pennyelizabeths @TheAtomicBagel @rawmilkhoney You are correct, 41K/yr is double the average social security recipient. Now. Pay your mortgage, car, utilities, gas, clothing, medication, etc… And if a teacher moves across state lines. That’s a different retirement plan all together.

@AltWarDept @pennyelizabeths @TheAtomicBagel @rawmilkhoney 41k is probably 2-3x the average SS recipient gets

Teachers make more than enough money idk where this myth comes from that teachers are so underpaid and honestly for the shitty work they do these days is even say they’re overpaid

@EODHappyCaptain It’s not partisan if it’s true. Painful maybe

Just asked Grok to tell me my political party without making assumptions based off being in the Army. I asked it to only use my posts for reference. It couldn’t tell. If you are in the military, that should be the goal.

@JimLaPorta @katyjohnson30 Points to the E4 who set up the coat

@katyjohnson30 Yeah, one of them should’ve helped him out.

When the Joint Chiefs arrive at the State of the Union, I always take a close look at their ribbon stack. In 2019, Air Force Gen. Joseph Lengyel, chief of the National Guard Bureau, had his ribbon stack upside down. militarytimes.com/off-duty/milit…

@TheConfluence @JimLaPorta Hey had just changed shampoos. Give the guy a break

@JimLaPorta So did Chairman Fitzwallace on one scene in The West Wing....
