FFS, apparently the only requirement for a government job is a history of having supported orange jesus. A 22 y o running a counterterrorism agency. I would love to hear the Trumpiteers defend this idiocy but I’m sure that won’t happen. In fact, they’ve pretty much disappeared back into the woodwork…

AI Overview
Military parades, especially those held by dictators, fascists, and authoritarian regimes, serve multiple purposes:

Propaganda and control:
These parades are designed to project an image of power, strength, and control to the domestic population and the international community. They serve to promote nationalistic pride, reinforce national values, and instill a sense of fear. The disciplined formations, displays of military hardware, and choreographed movements of soldiers aim to reflect the order and imposing nature of the nation and its leadership.

Intimidation:
The sheer scale of these events, featuring tanks, missile systems, and goose-stepping troops, can be used to intimidate perceived enemies, both domestic and foreign.

Glorification of the leader:
In some cases, military parades are linked to the personal power and authority of the leader, serving to elevate them as a symbol and supreme commander. This practice has been observed in historical regimes like Nazi Germany, where Adolf Hitler's birthday was marked by large-scale military parades.

Maintaining a cult of personality:
These events can also be used to bolster the cult of personality surrounding the leader, creating a sense of awe and admiration among the populace.

Historical tradition and spectacle:
Military parades can also be rooted in historical traditions, such as the triumphal processions of ancient Rome. Modern autocratic regimes often mimic these ancient practices to project a sense of legitimacy and power.

Examples:
Nazi Germany: Adolf Hitler's birthday was marked by large-scale military parades designed to spread Nazi propaganda and showcase military power.

Soviet Union: Victory Day parades in Moscow, particularly the annual parade on May 9th, commemorating the victory over Nazi Germany, are used to emphasize patriotism and celebrate the nation's military strength.
China: National Day parades on October 1st are held to showcase China's military and economic might.

North Korea: Military parades are frequently held on national holidays, often featuring impressive displays of military technology and personnel.

Iraq under Saddam Hussein: Saddam Hussein's birthday was celebrated with large-scale military parades in Baghdad, featuring weaponry and portraits of the leader.

It is important to note that the use of military parades by dictators and authoritarian regimes is often viewed critically, with some critics suggesting they can be a sign of insecurity rather than true strength.

Former US President Eisenhower, for instance, expressed this view, stating that military parades are "what they do in third world countries" and "for weak nations trying to prove something".

Trump threatens Musk if he supports/funds Trumps rivals - https://news.sky.com/story/elo...oved-from-x-13380462

Speaking on Saturday to Sky News' US partner NBC News, Mr Trump warned of repercussions if Musk funded Democrats who opposed his sweeping budget bill.

"If he does, he'll have to pay the consequences for that," he said in a phone interview.

"He'll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that," he added, not specifying what those consequences would be."

Also quoted as saying "the US can survive without anyone, except me".

How this idiot can have convicted millions to vote for him is incomprehensible.

One no longer need comedy shows any more!

Pretty sure most folks here knew I was talking about the TX Trumpiteers. Try to stay on topic and defend this idiocy. It should make for fun reading.

A draft dodging coward is commander in chief .

A multi bankrupt crook is in charge of the economy.

Both the people you are referring to were more qualified than any of those mentioned in this thread. However, all you can do in the form of argument is attack someone’s gender or sexuality. You are a weak minded person. We keep praying for you.

Keep talking about trans and gay people while this Regime defies the Constitution.

You did see where the Regime backed down and is bringing illegally deported folks back to the U.S.

Meh, last time round Trump appointed “the best people” to govt positions many of whom realised the calibre of the man they were working for and left, calling him a “ fucking moron” amongst other things. This from someone Trump called one of the truly great business leaders of the world or something similar.

This time round Trump has obviously decided not to appoint anyone who might be clever enough to see him for what he is, or possibly he just wants yes men. Hence the low bar on appointments.

For you to attack the qualifications of those you are complaining about would require you to read and understand their training and
education. We know you are unable to do read.

Make an argument that those identified in this thread are qualified. Sec. Hegseth has drastically proven not to be.

Don't make too much soup from one oyster

Don't forget that he has a goodly number of J6 pardonees to pick from too.

...and this is the result. https://www.usatoday.com/story...mantled/84235935007/ Obviously the orange turd doesn't understand the threats, or doesn't care.
