@Okcd_aktf He is going to play a demon?

"The Land of the End, less than a day before Xiao Zhan arrived in Qingdao, happened to be an anomaly" Xiao Zhan with "The Infinite 10 Days" crew arrived in Qingdao today and mysticism has already begun in the city! Qingdao experienced a once-in-a-century fog, and there was...

Only reason for Pete Hegseth to fire top generals in middle of a war is that they refused to follow orders. Only reason well-respected generals would refuse to follow DOD Secretary's orders was that those orders were insane. Americans are going to die for Pete & Donald's egos.

@ImKnotTheOne Are you trying to push them back to MAGA?

Why is MAGA coming out in droves admitting they are done and regret voting for Felon 47? NONE of y’all should be allowed to reinsert yourselves into civil society ever again!! Y’all can all rot!!!

Twenty-six generals and admirals in fourteen months. No misconduct cited for a single one. A former Fox News weekend host who never held a senior military command has removed the Joint Chiefs Chairman, the Army Chief of Staff, the commander of Army Transformation and Training, the Chief of Chaplains, and at least 22 other senior officers from the most powerful military on earth. He blocked four Army officers from promotion to brigadier general, two Black men and two women, by unilaterally striking their names from a list of 36. When Army Secretary Dan Driscoll refused to remove them, Hegseth did it himself. No hearing. No review board. No Senate consultation. The names were struck because the man who reads the list decided they should not be on it. The pattern is not random. It is architectural. Every removal serves the same function: shortening the distance between a presidential decision and its execution. The officers who remain are the ones who did not resist. The officers who resisted are gone. The replacement for the Army Chief of Staff is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve, who served as Hegseth’s personal military aide. The man who carried the briefcase now signs the orders. The chain of command has been rebuilt so that every link answers directly to the man who removed the previous link. General Randy George was the commander of the United States Army’s ground forces. That title matters now in a way it did not matter six weeks ago. Before February 28, ground forces in Iran were a theoretical exercise discussed in war colleges and think tanks. After five weeks of air strikes, with the IRGC publishing bridge target lists across four allied nations, with the President saying the military has “not even started” destroying what remains, with MEUs staged in the Gulf and the 82nd Airborne deploying and JSOC operators at forward bases in four countries, the ground option is no longer theoretical. It is a logistics package. And the man whose job was to assess whether that package should be opened was told to retire the same day the President posted “much more to follow.” Lieutenant General Hodne ran the command that trains every soldier who would execute a ground operation. Major General Green led the chaplain corps that would minister to every soldier who dies in one. George decided whether the operation should happen. Hodne prepared the soldiers to carry it out. Green prepared them to live with it. All three were removed on the same afternoon. Congress has not held a hearing. No subpoenas issued. The legal authority for a Defence Secretary to unilaterally override promotion lists and force immediate retirement of Senate-confirmed officers during wartime has not been tested because nobody with the authority to question it has chosen to. The IRGC has said attacks will “intensify from next week.” The Ford carrier is heading back. The CNN intelligence assessment confirms half of Iran’s launchers and thousands of drones remain. The President has named the next targets: power plants, desalination, oil wells, Kharg Island. And every general who might have said “this crosses a line” is already gone. Twenty-six officers. Zero misconduct findings. One question that every general still serving is asking behind closed doors: who is left to say no? And what happens when the answer is nobody? open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Pete Hegseth has fired twelve generals. Between them, five hundred years of military experience. Desert Storm. Iraq. Afghanistan. Gone. No reason given. In the middle of a war. These weren’t pen-pushers. They were the men who actually know what a ground invasion of Iran looks like. Perhaps they also know something else. That the man now running the Pentagon spent his career behind a Fox News desk rather than a command post. That his qualifications for managing the world’s most powerful military were, broadly speaking, strong opinions and good hair. Funny how they’re exactly the ones Hegseth just removed. Their replacements come with one qualification: complete loyalty to the vision. Five hundred years of hard-won, blood-soaked knowledge. Shown the door by a television presenter. What could possibly go wrong. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired Army Chief of Staff General Randy George. Serving for over 40 years, George received the Purple Heart. RETWEET if you stand with General George against Trump!

Things we can afford according to Trump: - Another War - A New Ballroom - $10 BILLION IRS payout to himself Things we can’t: - Child care - Health care - Anything that helps YOU

3 total generals fired today. They are refusing to put troops in Iran.

@Mercedes1dallas @traceyh415 Incredibly wrong answer. Shingles is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, which is the same virus that causes chickenpox. If you have had chickenpox, the virus can reactivate years later as shingles.

@traceyh415 Shingles is a form of the same virus as Chickenpox, if already exposed you don't need a dangerous vacx.

Anyone get the shingles vaccine? I keep putting it off but I feel like it is time.

@terrakei07 For some reason, the MAGA right-wing component of our population has dominated the responses to your question. Their answers are idiotic. Sorry. California is beautiful and one of our leading states in many areas.

嫌味とかではなく本当に素朴な疑問なんだけど、アメリカ人の皆さんはなんでそこまでカリフォルニアを嫌っているんですか？

@terrakei07 Trump's MAGA base hates California because they are liberal and anti-Trump. Most of us do not hate California.

@Jvnior "What does that mean 'men that abused these girls?'". He read the files and he doesn't know?

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING NEWS: “We’re not going to prosecute the predators in the Epstein files or release their names to the public.” — US Attorney General, Todd Blanche

@tacowasa2nd We are not. Trump is.

JUST IN: You do not fire your Army Chief of Staff in the middle of a war for no reason. You fire him because of what comes next. Pete Hegseth called General Randy George on April 2 and told him to retire immediately. The Pentagon confirmed it within hours. No reason was given. Not publicly. Not privately. A senior Army official told Fox News that Hegseth offered George nothing: no misconduct, no operational failure, no policy disagreement on the record. Just a phone call and a career ending in the middle of the most significant American combat operation in two decades. George is the 24th general or admiral Hegseth has removed. But he is not the 24th. He is the one that matters. The Army Chief of Staff. The man whose signature sits between a president’s intent and the order that sends soldiers across a beach or into a tunnel complex. The 82nd Airborne is deploying right now. Marines from the 31st MEU are staged on the USS Tripoli. JSOC operators are at forward bases in Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Kharg Island, 90 percent of Iranian oil exports, sits 16 kilometres off a coast that someone will have to decide whether to approach. And the four-star general whose job it was to advise whether that approach should happen was removed 48 hours after Trump told the nation the war would continue for two to three more weeks. The replacement is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve. He was Hegseth’s senior military aide before this appointment. The man who carried the Secretary’s briefcase now commands the Army the Secretary is reshaping. The chain of command did not break. It shortened. The distance between a television studio and a combat order just collapsed to zero intermediaries who were not personally selected by the man giving the order. No reason was given. That is the tell. When someone is removed without explanation during a crisis, the explanation is the crisis itself. George either objected to something or was about to. The ground option. The power plant strikes. The Kharg raid. The escalation that turned a highway bridge in Karaj into rubble on the same day he was told to leave. Something in the next two weeks requires a chief who will not push back, and the Pentagon solved that problem by installing one trained as Hegseth’s aide. A former Fox News weekend host just fired a four-star general with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, replaced him with his own former assistant, and did it during a live war in which the next decision could put American soldiers on Iranian soil for the first time in history. No hearing was held. No misconduct cited. The Army woke up on April 3 with a new chief it did not choose, in a war it did not start, preparing for a phase the previous chief apparently could not be trusted to execute. The question is not why George was fired. Every general in the building knows why. The question is what order is coming in the next fourteen days that required removing the one man in the chain of command who might have said no. The war has no perimeter. The chain of command has no objectors. And the next phase has no one left to stop it. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@Sinfulskin2 If the conversation can stay clear of MAGA stuff, it might be ok.

I need advice. My wife is really good friends with a girl from work and come to find out she is MAGA. They’ve been hanging out a bit which is fine, but now I'm being asked to go out on double-dates with her hubs and I'm not hanging out with fucking MAGA. Am I being unreasonable?

FYI -- Pam Bondi may be out, but her temporary replacement, Todd Blanche, isn't much better. He's the guy who got convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell her cushy deal. In fact, NOBODY trump has is any good. They are ALL rotten.

トランプ演説を聞いた。理性、知性、人道主義のかけらもない。アメリカ第一の軍事力賛美と自分の業績への著しい誇張に満ち、アメリカ国民がこの様な一方的主張を受け入れるとも思えない。この大統領の支持率が未だ30数％もあるのは信じられない。この様な大統領に忖度しなければならない日本は惨めだ。

Bondi can’t execute the Epstein cover-up the way Trump likes, so she’s out. She’ll be replaced with Trump’s personal lawyer Todd Blanche, who has been running the Ghislaine coverup for a year.

Absolute bombshell on CNN. A former federal prosecutor confirms AG Pam Bondi pulled agents off counter-terrorism to scour the Epstein files and redact Donald Trump's name. She orchestrated a massive cover-up to protect the President and obstruct justice.

It’s been officially confirmed, Donald Trump has Fired Pam Bondi.
