Today's attempt to MAGA the top brass today has me in tears. I would like to know if

[Deuxcents]

The brass stood when the president came to the podium or when he left. Was there any military respect shown? I understand the not applause issue as it has been discussed here..I’m wondering just how far the military will go to make war on our inner cities and allow us all to be prisoners

1. The Military

A lot going forward is gonna depend on just which way the West Point club jumps.

2. Most will fold

3. I believe the top brass will stand up to him

if Mr. trump tries to use them in a way they see as violating their duty to the Constitution. I think their loyalty to the nation outweighs any personal or self-serving interests. That's how I read the tea-leaves.

4. In a sane world he would have been booed and laughed at.

8. In a sane world

Trump wouldn't have gotten elected dog catcher.

In a perfect world, though, he would never have been born.

10. People like Trump have always existed because

evil, as an entity, is REAL

5. I have no doubt the stood when the Orange Turd entered and left the meeting

It's normal protocol in the military for those attending to stand at attention when a superior officer enters or leaves the room. The same protocol extends to the president, regardless of who the president is.

6. I could understand in normal times but this president is a draft dodging felon. No exceptions , I guess

[Kaleva]

7. Only the voters decide if there are exceptions

11. I've just found the entire replay of this a.m.'s meeting.

In answer to your question, Yes, the generals were standing as traitor trump entered the room. They also stood upon the entrance of the Chairman, Joint Chiefs as well as Hogsbreath.

I think I'll link the entire meeting into an OP, and will cross-link this response to that for anyone interested.
