The Pentagon briefing started with maximum kissing of Trump's ass by Hegseth - adding video from Aaron Rupar

Trump "planned" the "bold" and "brilliant" strike.

And Hegseth concluded by saying, "It's an honor to watch him lead."


"When this president speaks, the world should listen" -- Pete Hegseth glorifies the genius of Dear Leader Trump for his Iran strikes

It's still going on another tab on my computer, but whenever I check back, it's still nauseating.
They did NOT do a great thing by these bombings and I doubt that "God" is happy about the situation and did not give it's approval or "blessing."

And no one knew it was coming?

Uhm, he must have been sleeping off a bender cause it was reported yesterday that the B2 were deployed.

Yea, one cut off..but it was reported that 3 took off…

I told my wife that they were going to do this….

Even this morning there were satellite images of 15 semi trucks outside fordo…

Seems like even Iran knew…

Come on man…those of us who really know the orange bilge rat, know that if he says anything it is a lie.

Mouth moving, HE is lying.

This is like watching a group of monkeys pound their chest…my apologies to the monkeys for any perceived insult.

One freaking morning without waking to more orange bullshit.

that could be a personal best butt smooching. Unbelievable. Apparently Trump walks on water and has been for 20 years.

It’s too early to see a man humiliate himself on this level.

Weren't there a few stories a few days ago about how po'd the idjit was about the hash hegs had made of idjits parade? Rumors going around that he might be out?
He has now maybe saved his position on trumps team.
