The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Examples:
Thom Tillis banished for not supporting Trump sufficiently, leading to a sure loss of a senate seat in NC.
John Cornyn banished in Texas, to be replaced by perhaps the worst candidate in America's history, leading to Talarico's win.

There are tons of other examples, pushing out some of the best Republicans to be replaced by the worst.


Now do the same exercise with the Pentagon leadership, but with names none of us know because they were just competent people doing their jobs for their country, not grandstanding for votes, not getting on television to advocate, just good upper management of the singularly largest enterprise on earth.

Who have been purged because they weren’t loyal enough, or white enough, or had a vagina, or whatever it was/is that motivates a failed, stupid, talk show bloviator with a penchant for drunken episodes and who has been fired from every veterans organization he’s been involved with then suddenly and inappropriately handed the most powerful military in the world. I mean the chances of that one not being a smashing suddess, well, slightly less than Nancy Pelosi taking on Michael Jordan in a pickup game and winning.
