wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

They know trump is weak, panicking and useless. All they have to do to keep their jobs and outlive his regime is nothing. Because just about every coup in the world that didn't have the military backing it has failed.

Besides, would you cooperate with the guy that's cut your funding, destroyed the policies that made you the most effective military on the planet, then called you to a meeting forcing you to travel halfway around the world just to ******* insult you?

If they kiss the ring, they're in violation of their oath and complicit. When trump is out (which won't be long one way or another: his regime collapses when he dies regardless.) the coconspirators will be probably be removed by whatever administration follows.

I have no faith that most of the generals give a damn about the Constitution. Like anybody else in power, all they care about is keeping that power. They're going to follow whoever's in charge as long as they keep their cushy jobs, and if that means getting cheeto dust on their lips I have no doubt they will do it.

I mean, aren't most of those in active military service, especially those that are in the upper ranks, Republicans?

I take it you ignored the note that none of them reacted in any way to Hegseth's speech? If they had intended to "Kiss the ring" someone would have started trying to kick off a round of applause.

They were just following protocol for political situations - I wouldn't read too much into it.

Sounds to me like the noise is the purpose of the helicopters. They're aiming to rile up the citizens to the point where they'll try to Do Something About It, justifying retaliatory action from the military.

He's screamed at them before: he always comes crawling back, he needs his propaganda network and all the other right wing broadcasters are peanuts compared to fox.

This will go down like every other time this has happened. I remember when he decided to boycott FOX because he didn't like the questions Megyn Kelly asked him in the first 2015 debate. In 2024 she was on his campaign team.

And it goes both ways; wasn't she the one who got sacked by Fox News for not kissing his ass enough and went to work for one of the other news channels? So they kind of both came crawling back to each other. Which sums up his relationship with Fox News pretty well too.

He'll go back as soon as his need for attention overrides his ego. Or they'll go back as soon as they remember he brings in ratings. Either way, same result.
