14. They didn't get to be generals and admirals by being dumb asses
Tue Sep 30, 2025, 12:49 PM
Tuesday

Chump and Kegsbreth together had one motive - to get their asses kissed with the TV cameras rolling. The generals knew this and didn't want to play along. Well, we all knew it too, but we wanted to see what they were going to do. Now we know. I hope the news media (even Faux Noise) is going to maul Chump over this abomination.

I think the Republic is safe for at least the next couple of years. After that is anybody's guess.
