‘No fat soldiers’ or critics allowed behind Trump at Fort Bragg speech: report

Crowd of soldiers booed and cheered at Trump’s partisan speech, breaking the military’s tradition and regulations around remaining non-political

That's better thanks, I can't handle those 3 trash links people keep posting!

I mean, I'd agree the military personell in the crowd were over exuberant, the neutrality of the military is important, but they're young men getting carried away, can't blame them personally.

The same way I wouldn't blame the marines on stage next to Biden when he was calling MAGA extremists, and stated they were fighting for US souls. Im sure Trump put tanks in shot, and Obama made border line comments to a clapping crowd also...

The screening, well no fat soldiers is an odd one, I would have thought that the issue of overweight soldiers was next to nothing, but apparently weight is a major issue in US forces... it's one of those facts that shouldn't shock you, if you've ever met Americans, but does.

Screening for political opinion is pretty standard in these instances ive heard, it's a chance for soldiers who do not align with certain political stances to not be shown to be. I'd advocate for giving soldiers this choice, but the optics aren't great, showing how enthusiastic the crowd were.

Ultimately though, it all goes on the 'we will get him next time' pile. No Trump fans will care about this as it's a minor issue, blown up by the media.
 
I just read that as of 1st May 2025 Trump has managed to deport 140k people from the USA...

That's a concerning number! Only 4 months in, if this continues it will be 420k per year, or 1.6m over his entire term!
 
Macron and Meloni react to... one must assume the tango.d one

Link? No only joking
 
There seems to be a trend going around online, framing the anti ICE protests / Riots, as Democrats once again fighting to keep their slavery, or serfs as they refer to them.

MAGA fans are posting links like this:

How the federal immigration raids could disrupt California's economy

The crackdown could come at a price for industries across Los Angeles and California that have become increasingly dependent on immigrants, whether they are here legally or not.
www.latimes.com www.latimes.com

It's good to see the optics have changed from what was looking like an insurgency of violence waving Mexican flags, they managed to import thousands of USA flags etc, but the pivot by the right has been spectacular, almost Hamas level propaganda.

Bass is still giving speeches saying she'll essentially support the protests until Trump stops deporting undocumented, Democrats have got to be very careful, I think they are reacting to a much better Republican long game.

Demographics are shifting, major blue cities are being fled, mostly to the south, next election cycle major dem strong holds are going to lose electoral votes to strong Republican states, and these current protests and riots seem to be win win for Republicans.

Democrats' future crisis: The biggest states that back them are shrinking

If current trends hold through the 2030 census, states that voted for Vice President Kamala Harris will lose around a dozen House seats — and Electoral College votes — to states that voted for President-elect Donald Trump.

Anyone following the Vance Boelter case...

Wtf is going on there, has a home with wife and kids, but shared an apartment miles away with weird roommate.

Roommate confirmations are very conflicting, Boelter was very politically active, life long Republican and MAGA supporter, but never talked politics and apparently was appointed to a board by Tim Walz, his wife worked for Walz, and they were starting a security company?!?!

She was found in a car with 50k and fake passports?

There is video of a friend reading out a text message, but then getting defencive and refusing to evidence the message, then refused to confirm details he had just read out.

Was Vance a Republican MAGA psychopath, he'll bent on murdering Democrats, or was he a Jessie Smollet type faking a scenario, maybe it was a front to promote a security company, or was it merely a mental health breakdown?

All I know some far, is he willingly walked in front of cameras, murdered people, and fled, with an apparent get away plan with his wife.

Watch this space, it's about to get very interesting I think, let's hope the jail security cameras are fit for purpose!

This is what I'm talking about, there's lots of misinformation out there, I'll go check that out, do you have a link i could see, I can't find anything online about that, however I can't find the news week article I read it in either tbf.

I didnt add a number of things I'm not sure about, the 'No King's' flyers, hos links to Dayton who appointed him to a board, and his attendance of meetings with Hoffman. I also didnt add his marking of none or other political affiliation 2016, or marking 'no party preference' in 2020, those points came from a NYT article early on. Also there's some murky water around his religious affiliations, and his travel to the Congo lol.

Im sure there will be plenty of edits by all places in the coming days / weeks.

Im not sure how my last post could be considered a MAGA conspiracy, I implicated Boelter of being a MAGA extremist. There also the chance it could be a double play, a MAGA extremists leaving clues of a Democrat loyalists pretending to be MAGA. He did work within crime scenes at times didnt he?

You just don't want to hear what the MAGA crowd are saying, which is incredibly dangerous going forward. Demographic change was reported on by a Democrat think tank, and the link I used was PBS lol.

It's because more often than not, especially the hardcore MAGA, they do not live in reality. Saying you don't listen to MAGA, in my opinion, is akin to not listening to flat earth theorists. When they want to live in reality and deal with facts (and there are some of them that do) then I will listen.
