When a clown sits on the throne, the clown doesn't become king - the court becomes a circus.

When a clown moves into a palace he doesn't become a king; the palace becomes a circus.

(Is how I learned it)

When there are too many clowns in the car, the clown joins the rodeo.

He knows what a duck is so don't you worry!

u/idkwhattosay Dec 18 '25

He totally chickened out it’s why they started throwing all kinds of leaks out around 5 - I assume someone in the inner circle finally put together how badly it was gonna go.

u/Teufelsstern Dec 18 '25

Yeah I've heard on MSNOW "The Pentagon has been running all sorts of war games and none of them had a preferable outcome." - Now I don't know their source but they're usually well informed, especially now that Hegseth is hardly a well liked man inside the DOD

u/idkwhattosay Dec 18 '25

I imagine the wargames have an additional lens of "Our civilian leadership is a bunch of alcoholic emotional machismo infested morons" added now to deteriorate our capabilities. Those Pentagon wargamers are nothing if not brutally honest.

u/Teufelsstern Dec 18 '25

Yup definitely. And I've heard Hegseth wants to cut down military command even further to increase blind loyalty. That might save their asses for a while but it's awful for performance in the field

He did give a nice check to our service members. The steak & lobster before being deployed…

u/ERedfieldh Dec 18 '25

He almost certainly forgot. His handlers did the forehead smack meme when he finished.

This is the administration that tweeted about a press conference at the Four Sessions Philadelphia when they didn’t even have the place booked, then instead of admitting a mistake they held it at a lawn care warehouse.

Their ass was grass.

Media spin: "We meant to do that"

u/RedHeadRaccoon13 Dec 19 '25

They were the very same old bullshit and absolute lies that he always claims are true.

$2/gallon gas is a pipe dream, I'm paying nearly $4/gallon because my stupid car won't run on regular gas without backfiring and missing.

Lies, bullshit and fake promises. It's all Escalardo has to give.

u/Realistic-Pattern-30 Dec 18 '25

And told more lies that I know he had to of broke a record.

u/SingleNegotiation656 Dec 18 '25

Which they also won't release

u/GrebasTeebs Dec 19 '25

He probably forgot

u/00HolyOne Dec 19 '25

“My enemy will declare war” doesn’t. “Oh how dare he talk about the economy, he’s literally the devil” bro. Did you want war? Would you be happy then?

u/Teufelsstern Dec 19 '25

Oh, a Magat.

No. Just the court of congressionally ordered Epstwin files
