@donkoclock The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and then they get elected and prove it. - P. J. O’Rourke

BREAKING: Hero fighter pilot Amy McGrath goes viral with a BRUTAL takedown of Donald Trump and MAGA Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after their deranged speech to American generals.
This is what a REAL soldier sounds like...
"Pete Hegseth still has a lot to learn, I think, unfortunately. When I flew my combat missions, there was not a set male standard and a female standard for flying an aircraft onto the back of an aircraft carrier. You can either do it or you can't," McGrath told CNN.
"And so I feel like it's the notion of standing up there and saying to the generals and admirals who all, by the way, know that there were never separate combat standards for males and females, you know, combat jobs have had one standard for a long time," she continued. "And part of when we opened combat jobs to women, those of us who were in those jobs wanted one standard to be set. And it was."
During Hegseth's widely condemned speech, he ranted about ending "woke" efforts in the military, firing "fat" soldiers and leaders, and imposing "male standards" on all troops. The entire event proved to be a total waste of time, yet another case of a MAGA official prioritizing pointless PR over actual policy. These generals were forced to fly in to hear a former Fox News host play-act as a "war fighter" when they should have been at their post overseas, keeping American safe.
"So I think it's kind of ridiculous but honestly, that in comparison to the rest of what we heard in the last hour is really minor," McGrath added. "That speech was bonkers by the president, and everybody sitting in that room knows that we don't have a coherent foreign policy or defense policy. And that, I think, is a bigger issue indeed."
During her CNN appearance, she dug into Trump's remarks—
"There was a lot of rambling. There was a ton of lies. There was a lot of politicization as was just mentioned and some of the craziness that you heard from this speech," McGrath said. "But the scariest part was when the president talked about using the military and using our cities as a training ground for the United States military."
In a separate post on X, McGrath shredded Hegseth some more.
"This morning’s grandstanding at Quantico only solidified what we already know: @PeteHegseth
continues to disparage and lie about women in the military," she wrote. "He claimed the military needs to 'return to the male standard' in combat jobs (of 1990!), but here’s the truth: there has never been a separate male and female standard. When women entered combat roles, one standard was set, and we’ve been meeting it ever since. You can either do the job or you can’t. Period."
Well said!
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Amy McGrath would make a far better Secretary of Defense!
@gtconway3d That was before the Republicans and the party embraced Reagan and W. And groomed Fundamentalist Christians to suck up their lies (Goldwater warned us). Trump is just the pusy, blood flecked pimple the Party became after Newt told them the way to win elections was to lie.
