The All Things Political Topic - SNAFU edition

https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/26/politics/hegseth-generals-meeting-warrior-ethos

"The meeting is expected to resemble “a pep rally” where Hegseth will underscore the importance of the “warrior ethos” and outline a new vision for the US military, said three of the sources. He is expected to discuss new readiness, fitness and grooming standards the officers are expected to adhere to and enforce.

“It’s about getting the horses into the stable and whipping them into shape,” said a defense official familiar with the planning. “And the guys with the stars on their shoulders make for a better audience from an optics standpoint. This is a showcase for Hegseth to tell them: get on board, or potentially have your career shortened.”

Clown show.

Good news for military barber careers, and for the American Barber Association. An army of one... barber.

Ferdinand Trump is planning to send troops to peaceful Portand in order to deal with so-called "domestic terrorists". I've visited Portland several times and it is hardly a bastion of crime or terrorism; it's just a nice place to live.

Trump says he’ll send troops to Portland, Oregon, in latest deployment to US cities

Maybe he's hoping the Proud Boys stir up some activist behavior?

Is funny how the Gadsden flag crowd doesn't care about this.

The way he goes on and on about this stuff, I think he really believes what he is saying. Every other person would be checked into a mental hospital already.

If it's so war ravaged, shouldn't he be paying a state visit? I don't believe he's ever even been. Time for El Jefe to see the ruins in person. But TACO.

Trump makes unfounded claims about Tylenol and repeats discredited link between vaccines and autism

I see our Secretary of Pseudo-Science has been busy, striding boldly into a new future of national quackery. I'm feeling so proud right now... 

I found this SM commentary on this topic and I recommend everyone watches it. The young lady is sharing her opinion and it may resonate with people

Besides she is clearly staying.....abreast of this development

Apparently armed troops are being sent to Portland to protect the ICE building there with permission to use "full force". It has suffered some damage from protests and has windows boarded up with plywood, so typical left-wing protest tactic. Meanwhile, since January, 15 people have died while being detained by ICE. Narry a peep about that from the government though. So, long story short:

• protests and some physical damage to a building = war ravaged city requiring a full force response
• 15 dead in detention = crickets
