Apparently, the end of Hegseth’s pep speech was met with absolute stony silence - no one clapped, at all.
Those folks were probably thinking, “I had to leave my base, and the men and women under my command. Then I had to travel thousands of miles across the globe. And for what? To listen to this?!”
Any idea what these 'beardos' are he wants to get rid of?

Trump annoys me, he keeps on how America won two world wars, where were we? We were on our own til 1942, when Japs bombed Pearl Harbour.
Now he says they have won 7 wars.
He really is getting on my nerves, it's an insult to our men who fought and died in the wars. Britain was bombed continuously during the blitz, thousands died.I
I like some of what he says, but come on, America never won the two wars!

I can see why that would piss you off, Mags. And you’re right about this, of course.
The thing to always bear in mind is that trump lies his arse off. All the time. As the saying goes, if his mouth is moving, he’s lying He just stands/sits there and randomly makes up shit as he goes along.
He‘s like the demented ranting old uncle people avoid at family gatherings. Or he’s like a babbling barstool drunk at closing time, talking shit and refusing to leave.
The only difference being, he happens to have the biggest ‘barstool’ in the world…. 🤷🏻♀️

Him and Bliar are going to control Gazza if there' peace. Blair of all people who caused, with Bush, the Iraq war, and lied about WMD! He's the devil incarnate. I detest him. Will Trump make Gazza into the next Vegas.
Meanwhile, where are the people going? Disgusting!!

You're asking where the people will go. Trump and Blair don’t give a damn about that - just as long as they’re gone. So many real estate development opportunities along that beautiful Gaza shoreline!

Without American support it's highly likely we would have lost WW2 and WW1.
The American lend lease programme which was initiated before the US involvement after Pearl Harbour, was crucial for maintaining adequate food supplies to the UK which was key in preventing a catastrophic collapse of morale and the war effort, especially given German U-boat efforts to cut off supply lines. And let's not forget that the Italians took part in trying to destroy the convoys using their own submarines.
The U.S. played a critical role in World War I by providing troops, money, and supplies to the Allied forces, helping to tip the balance of the war and secure victory. After entering the war in April 1917, the U.S. mobilized millions of soldiers and vast economic resources, contributing significantly to the Western Front and the naval effort against German submarines. The arrival of the American Expeditionary Forces in 1918 bolstered exhausted Allied armies, turning the tide of the war.

Trump is well known for being arrogant and tactless, but he's got a point. I get sick of people trashing America and it's people. They've always been our allies and always had our back since the 1700's. If there's another war, we're fucked without them.

You stood alone but were pushed out of every territory you were challenged in until we started moving the Japanese and Germans backwards.
I doubt you would have fallen, but European countries conquered by Germany and Asian countries conquered by Japan would not have been liberated without us.
Australia probably would have fallen to the Japanese.
The biggest mistake of the war was Japan bombing Pearl Harbor..That war would have likely ended in a few more years with far different borders..

So Trump is threatening to take away benefits from innocent people during the shut down just to get back at the Democrats that oppose him??
Vam, is this accurate? The man is horrible. He really is.
Trump threatened Democrats on Tuesday that the federal government could “do things during the shutdown that are irreversible . . . medically and other ways, including benefits, we can cut large numbers of people,” warning the GOP was prepared to blame Democrats for the permanent reductions and predicting a shutdown is “probably likely” but not “inevitable.”
