@PeteHegseth @DeptofWar You are not only pathetic, but arguably the most wholly unqualified Secretary of Defense this country has ever had.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

BREAKING: Fox News just reported that Pete Hegseth fired United States Secretary of the Navy John Phelan because Phelan would not ignore a federal judge's orders!

"Hegseth and Phelan reportedly butted heads when Phelan refused to ignore a recent federal judge’s ruling that said punishing Senator Mark Kelly for making a video which he reminded military officers of their constitutional duty to not to not follow illegal orders would violate his First Amendment rights."

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

This one is so much more accurate than the original.

[JLS @jllaw80]

@StephenM Our goal is to get rid of fascists like you.

[JLS @jllaw80]

@PeteHegseth You are not.

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

Right then.
Let me explain something very slowly, because it appears some basic logic has gone missing somewhere over the Atlantic.

No serious nation in the history of warfare has spent fourteen months insulting its allies, threatening to annex their territory, siding with their common enemy, and then knocked on their door expecting them to come running to rescue a catastrophe of its own making. That is not how alliances work. That is not how anything works.

You abused the UK. You threatened Canada. You tried to grab Greenland. You called the EU an adversary. You praised Putin, the one man every serious NATO ally has spent decades preparing to fight. You hosted Kremlin officials in the Capitol. You undermined European elections. You abandoned Ukraine. You imposed tariffs on your closest partners. You did all of this loudly, proudly, and on camera.
And now you are surprised that nobody is returning your calls.

Here is a question worth sitting with. Why do you think that is? Is it possible, just possible, that when you treat your allies like enemies for over a year while cuddling up to their actual enemy, those allies might update their opinion of you? Is that concept too complicated? Does that require more working memory than is currently available?

You did not plan this war with your allies. You did not consult them. You did not build a coalition. You started a conflict, watched it go sideways, and then got on your knees asking for help from people you spent fourteen months calling weak, corrupt and irrelevant.

NATO is not what it was. Not because Europe changed. Because Washington made crystal clear which side it is on. And it is not ours.

You want European boots on the ground? Start by explaining why America is more aligned with Moscow than with Brussels. Take your time. We will wait.

@tedcruz I think you meant to type "for the United States."

@mrddmia The University of Iowa would like its law degree back.

[JLS @jllaw80]

@SenateGOP Then amend the Constitution.

[JLS @jllaw80]

@BasedMikeLee You're mistaken. We're in an abusive relationship with our president.

[Chuck Todd @chucktodd]

The military is not supposed to be a toy.

[JLS @jllaw80]

@jimiuorio He’s the antithesis of free speech. Criticize him and he calls you a liar, threatens to sue you (and often does), and has the minions in his administration investigate you.

[The Maverick of Wall Street @TheMaverickWS]

Before the war:
1) Iran didn't control the Strait Of Hormuz, now it does
2) Iran oil was sanctioned, now it's not
3) Iran was not building a nuke, now it will
4) US bases in the Gulf were assets, now liabilities
5) Inflation was declining, now increasing

Definitely winning!

[JLS @jllaw80]

@StateDept I think you meant to type "incompetent president."

[Adam Carolla @adamcarolla]

I always knew he was a douche

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is truly insane, and it should be front page news across America. 

Denmark secretly deployed soldiers to Greenland prepared to blow up airport runways to stop a U.S. invasion.

They brought blood supplies to treat the wounded. France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden quietly coordinated against us.

This was not a drill.

This was our closest allies preparing to fight Americans.

Let that sink in. NATO allies. Countries whose soldiers have fought and died alongside ours for decades. They looked at this president and decided they had to prepare for the worst.

Fewer allies does not make America great. It makes us more isolated, more vulnerable, and it hands Russia and China exactly what they have always wanted: an America abandoned by its friends.

The American people deserve to know how badly this president has damaged our standing in the world.  https://t.co/lxQD3X8jaM

If you’re scared of “athletes pretending to be women” wait’ll you hear about fascists pretending to be Christian

@GeraldoRivera What I really admire about her is the ease with which she lies. She's better at it than Trump.

[JLS @jllaw80]

@BuzzPatterson You effectively voted for an incompetent asshole.
