The commander of the base wrote, “I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the US administration discussed by Vice-President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base.” in an email and was thus dismissed. In dismissing her, the Pentagon stated this reason. “Actions [that] undermine the chain of command or to subvert President [Donald] Trump’s agenda will not be tolerated at the Department of Defense.”

      Maybe that claim would hold water if there was any evidence at all that Trump wasn’t a brain damaged idiot spiraling into senility. It stops being pretending when every single appearance, every interview, every second of contact, every policy enacted, every opinion presented, and every decision made are all exactly what a complete idiot would do. He’s not playing 4D Chess, he doesn’t have some secret master plan, he’s a pants shitting moron who’s hateful rhetoric and willingness to punch down appealed to the low end of the bell curve and got them excited enough to vote.
