BREAKING: Lieutenant General Mark Hertling of the U.S. Army goes viral with a BRUTAL response to Pete Hegseth’s deranged speech, says that the military “will not execute illegal orders.”
MAGA really kicked the hornet’s nest this time…
“But there were also soldiers and, well, all ranks of services, in that audience that said, wait a minute,” Hertling told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“When they were writing down the same kind of checklist that I was writing down, saying, wait a minute, we can't do that, or we shouldn't do that, or this is a true violation of what we are as professionals or, hey, I've got women in my ranks who are performing admirably,” he continued. “Why should I kind of lump them all together like the secretary did? Or I'm certainly now going to debate with myself, what am I going to say if I'm asked to go on the street and conduct illegal actions?”
During Hegseth's rambling, peacocking speech, he railed against "woke" policies in the military, attacked "fat" soldiers and leaders, and called for imposing "male standards" on all troops. He called for hazing recruits and said that drill sergeants will be allowed to "put their hands on” them.
At the same event, Donald Trump gave a slurred, incoherent speech and talked about using American cities as “training grounds” for armed forces. The event attendees were high-ranking military officials and generals who were forced to fly in from around the globe and the fascist rubbish spewed by Hegseth and Trump was a total waste of their time.
“And I guarantee you that the people in that audience will not execute illegal orders. We have been saying that for a long time,” said Hertling.
“But at the same time, all of them, not only were they personally embarrassed, but they were embarrassed for their services that had, you know, sit in that audience and listen to this kind of stuff,” said Hertling.
“That's the worst part of all this. You know, there's a saying in the military that's a great leadership dictum: ‘You praise in public and you discipline in private,’” he went on. “This was a disciplinary approach in public with cameras, so the whole nation could see. And it was an attempt at separating the military institution from the people that they defend.”
Clearly, voters made a historic mistake putting these MAGA freaks in charge of the most powerful military in the history of the world. Next election, we undo that error for good.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you felt safer with Democrats in power!
@Fla_Pol@GovRonDeSantis@AGGancarski His one task and he failed bc he took hush money from the very industry hurting us more than property tax

The government’s creation of massive, secret databases of Americans’ personal information, in violation of the law, poses serious privacy and data-security risks and threatens to disenfranchise eligible voters.
We're working to put a stop to it. https://t.co/lnFr29chHQ
🚨 BREAKING: The Purge Begins.
At 1PM, Trump’s OMB chief Russ Vought is meeting with House Republicans, not to end the shutdown, but to slash federal departments during it.
This isn’t fiscal policy. It’s a demolition.
And they don’t need a full Congress to do it, just a shutdown and a green light from MAGA.
“I firmly believe firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell will be the last stop on the autocratic autobahn we’ve all been barreling down these last nine months, with a drug-addled madman behind the wheel. His swollen foot flooring the gas pedal before a lifetime of sexual predation and a well-documented partnership with Jeffrey Epstein finally catches up with him and forces a collision he has spent the last ten years avoiding.
He can still see it creeping up in the rear view mirror and that not only makes him erratic and skittish, it makes him positively homicidal. He thought it was all behind him long ago, especially with Barr’s involvement in Epstein’s untimely and ever-so-convenient death while in federal custody in 2019. But his proclivities and criminal activities threaten to come to light once again - and to hell if he won’t burn the whole place down before he lets that happen. We must stand with the many brave survivors of his depravity and keep their stories front and center; hold those who continue to help him with the cover up accountable, expose his accomplices, fellow sex-traffickers and Epstein clients.” https://t.co/M6xTCSmWo7

🚨 Ro Khanna just admitted he’s being sabotaged by his own party, for backing Palestinian statehood and exposing Epstein ties.
This isn’t left vs right. It’s the elite protecting their own.
He rejected defense contractor bribes. He defied the bipartisan war machine. And now they’re trying to silence him, because they can’t control him like the others.
This is a warning shot to anyone who steps out of line.
BREAKING: In an unbelievable moment, Karoline Leavitt said she disagrees with the Pope's criticism of "inhumane treatment of immigrants" in America, defending the cruel policies of Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, and Trump.
The Pope has way more credibility.
@factpostnews What happens when MAGA can't afford their beer and cigs? Or tithe at their hateful "houses of worship?" Or gas up their monster trucks?
Will they give those up to feed them youngins? Probably not.
Kids will suffer when Medicaid and SNAP are gone.
Domestic violence will rise.
I’m hearing from military men & women how alarmed & repulsed they are by Trump’s directive to use American cities as “training grounds,” with armed forces against American citizens. It’s against their ethos & ethics—& their oath. https://t.co/5yhXPGcTqF
I came to the Capitol, ready to be sworn in and get to work for the people of Southern Arizona. Instead, Speaker Johnson chose to delay, denying our community the representation we deserve.
This is the moment when Pete Hegseth tells a room full of 60 year old dudes they have to pass physical Military tests twice a year or they get fired and lose their pensions.
I want you to understand what voting for MAGA budget means:
1) your health care costs immediately go UP
2) hospitals CLOSE
3) cancer research ends
So I’m not a no. I’m a hell no.
Let me be perfectly clear: Undocumented people CANNOT AND WILL NOT receive ACA premium tax credits BY LAW. PERIOD.
This is a LIE from Republicans to divert attention from their shutdown. Republicans are refusing to lower healthcare costs for the American people.
This guy is saying Speaker Mike Johnson has until TODAY, Wednesday October 1st, to swear in newly-elected Arizona Rep. Adelita Grijalva, or he's going to release Johnson's Grindr info.
Rep. Grijalva would be the 218th vote needed for the discharge petition to force a release of the Epstein files.
What an exciting day!
