Wouldn’t that be great if I could have the faith in our military leaders to mock trump instead of saving their own positions and paychecks by bending the knee.
They actually showed bits of both speeches on TV news around here (I’m not in the US) and these guys are like a clown version of the Nazis.
“And if you don’t like what I’m saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future, but you just feel nice and loose, OK, because we’re all on the same team. And I was told that, sir, you won’t hear – you won’t hear a murmur in the room. I said, we got to loosen these guys up a little bit. So you just have a good time.”
Too coherent
I don’t remember all of it, but some of that is literally what he said.
It’s word-for-word part of his opening remarks. Don’t worry - it rapidly becomes more incoherent from there.
To take some of Trump’s credit, he struggled a lot and it was a mess even if mildly coherent.
What Trump wants
Wtf how do you even synchronize applause? Those top military leaders must spend hours of their days practicing clapping.
Did you watch the video? It wasn’t synchronized at all, it was just normal (if overly enthusiastic) clapping.
I’ve watched this video half a dozen times now and slowed it down to .25 speed. That’s some of the most synchronized clapping I’ve ever seen.
I dunno, it doesn’t look that way to me. Like, if they were trying to be synchronized, then they did a really bad job.
How to say you weren’t on the drum line without saying anything about drums, haha
Yeah they should definitely get those generals on the drum line. Those dumbasses are out there planning military strategies instead.
Watch North Korea, trump watches them alot
Yeah, or maybe this?

Good god, he looks like a freaking dunce in that photo. What an embarrassment
And no I didn’t say thank you
They just adapted incel / Maga recruitment methods to try and reel in the tops of the world, for real? Those work on incel / Maga, because they’re downtrodden and insecure, but arrogant, want not to be, but don’t have the insight or the ego to permit self improvement.
People don’t get to the top with a personal failings like that, being angry at the world, types, don’t ever get to top jobs, they were talking to grownups, thinking their magical words will cause them a world wide army. Holy fk I can’t decide if thier levels of God syndrome are hilarious, in the face of the level of danger this presents. I mean, they’re not dangerous in the sense that no one would listen to them, other than the dickheads like them. But, damn!
Please tell me this is actually happening
I haven’t seen any confirmation. I think it’s just a joke meme.
:(
I wonder how much this meeting cost the tax payers. It wasn’t free to fly all the generals to this location and put them up for however long it was required.
Millions, probably at least 8 figures.
So 0.00001% of the annual military budget…
How much is that in schools?
-100 schools
One of my local schools just up and disappeared in a puff of smoke. I couldn’t make out the green numbers that were hanging in the air for awhile afterwards to see how much budget it got them back.
So what’s that in golf holidays for Trump?
Look at the timing. This meeting took place the day before the shut down. These dumb saps aren’t getting any travel vouchers. Hell they’re not even getting paid this month!
Nah, that’s just an accurate physical description of the two.
I was kinda hoping when the orange titbag told them if they didn’t like what was said they could leave, that they would all rise up and rush the stage to show them what real soldiers think of loudmouth pussies
They wouldn’t dare risk their pensions or their cushy post retirement job at a military contractor corporation.
But don’t worry. When and if this regime falls, they’re going to write SO MANY books about patriotism and fighting the good fight and how they secretly hated having to mulch all those civilian protesters and how it’s unfair to put them on trial for following orders.
I used to work for a software company that spent its time chasing military contracts. We had a whole corridor with offices for the retired colonels we had hired who never came into work. I had a friend in HR so I knew what everybody in the company made; the colonels all made in the neighborhood of $200,000 a year. Not a bad no-work gig at all, especially when that money was on top of their pensions. I can’t imagine the kind of money the fucking generals and admirals pull.
Us programmers used to sneak into the colonels’ offices to “work” – which really meant “nap” – confident that we would be undisturbed. I especially liked it because I didn’t have to hold in my farts.
This is slightly encouraging.
So something about this I don’t get. Didn’t they relax the standards because they couldn’t get enough people for Cyber Security Command? Do they just think these people are gonna magically start working out?
Oh that’s right, they don’t think.
Cyber security is pansy shit, real men win wars with rifles /s
I’d like to see the first line changed to “Everybody’s calling them” because
-
The generals didn’t get to be generals without knowing when to keep their mouths shut.
-
You don’t have to be military to enjoy this crack. I’m definitely going to be part of that everybody.
And also
- Trump’s favorite way of manufacturing and spreading lies is to say “Everybody’s” and “People are” saying whatever it is.
