You voted for Biden and thus Lloyd Austin. Probably the most idiotic of Defense Secretaries and you said nothing, even when he disappeared and nobody knew. You sat by an approved of how he handled himself.

Lloyd Austin not only looked like an idiot wearing a mask and a splash guard during Covid, but he also was an unfit, fat, out of shape metabolic wreck, who also presided over trump and biden's Afghanistan withdrawal debacle.
I voted for Jo with no e for President in 2020.

austin was 100x more competent and professional as Secretary of Defense then Whiskeyleaks.
A picture says otherwise. Another one of Biden‘s diversity hires.

No other "investigative journalists" wanted to touch this one and not one single person would go on record. Let me guess, you believe Trump summoned super human strength to throw secret service guys around like a ragdoll, so he could grab the steering wheel and direct it back to the Capital? This level?
Ever heard of a scoop? More unnamed sources are providing information. Does he last another week? Has he ordered agents to investigate the journalist yet, like he did with the expose of his girlfriend? Will he be at the Poodle Room this weekend?

Murders plummeted more than 20% in U.S. last year, the largest drop on record, study shows

More progress being made 2026. Fond out what Patel drinks. Send him a case of it. :nod:

Hey that’s great. Although there has been a downward trend. Looks like those liberal big city mayors are getting the job done.

What bothers you most about that photo? The double masks or the color of Austin's skin?

Tell us Whiskeyleaks qualifications for the job and we'll compare them to Austin's.

Austin's:
  • Commander, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) (2013–2016): Overseeing all U.S. military operations across the Middle East, Central Asia, and parts of South Asia, including ongoing operations in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan.
  • Vice Chief of Staff of the Army (2012–2013): The second-highest position in the Army's uniformed leadership.
  • Commander, U.S. Forces–Iraq (2010–2011): He managed the complex withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from Iraq.
  • Director of the Joint Staff (2009–2010): A senior Pentagon role coordinating between the military branches and civilian leadership.
  • Commanded the 10th Mountain Division and later the 18th Airborne Corps during operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
  • Bachelor's degree from West Point and a master's degree in education from Auburn University.
100x might have been generous to Whiskeyleaks.
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

Nope. Donk mayors get 100% of the responsibility. Thems the rules.

I’m old enough to remember states and local rights and authority vs. an oppressive federal government.

There you go again, QUNI88, always one to bring up race. But since you did, Biden picks as his running mate a black female who months prior called him a racist on national TV. Biden publicly declared he was only going to pick a black female for SCOTUS. So did the Autopen select Austin as Sec Def because he was black? Well I believe it wouldn’t have if Austin wasn’t.

So what Austin was a high ranking general. Generals are 1st and foremost politicians. And to become a high ranking general you have to have post graduate degrees.

Austin publicly defended the disastrous closing of Bagram while keeping Kabul open. Lots of people who had served in Afghanistan who were no longer in the military (so they weee free to speak their mind) publicly called the closure of Bagram a disastrous decision.

Austin claimed the ANA were capable of defending themselves before they collapsed in a week before the Taliban.

He was in charge of a military that left behind tens of billions of dollars of equipment for the Taliban in Iraq.

Pushed woke trans DEI ideology on the military.

Disasterous recruiting #s (esp Army) 2021-2024 when he was Sec Def.

Like many retired generals, is in bed with the MIC. After retiring, before the Autopen tapped him to be Sec Def, he was on the board of United Technologies/Ratheon. Publicly stated he had no interest becoming a lobbyist. Then after he is no longer Sec Def last year starts a consulting company lobbying on behalf of the MIC..
