One interpretation of the Hegseth/Trump Quantico lecture to the top US military is that they aimed to humiliate them, establish dominance.
"Hey boys, we've ordered you here today to make it clear that you're lackeys to an incompetent grifter-felon-child-abuser and a glory-hound drunkard army-reject."

Categorising "Churches can recommend candidates" as #MonkeyWrenchTheSystem & #PowerGrab.
@USAJusticeWatch
Wondering how to categorize this corrupt action by Trump's administration.
It seems to be a #PowerGrab, and to #DisplayFascism.
But neither of those captures the shutting down of the flow of scientific information.
Now to find a short catchy phrase ...
I'm seeing this as an attack on science - but is it the flow of just science information that is being clamped down on?
Suggestions please.
I've got a little project going. Looking for broad categories to label Trump's corrupt actions with.
#ClassifyingTrump
Now to come up with a short catchy label for enriching the rich and devastating the poor.
(This destruction of the USA social safety net is the perfect partner to maximise the destruction resulting from #Tariffs.)
Here is 1 more category:
8. #PunishOpponents
Think this is needed after seeing #FTC being set on #MediaMatters.
(Others being:
1. #FTZWS Flood the zone with shit.
2. #FTHWS Fill their heads with shit. ("You tell them how it is.")
3. #MWTS Monkeywrench the system.
4. #PowerGrab
5. #ObeyPutin
6. #ThoseBucksStopHere Grift, pay-to-play, rackets.
7. #DisplayFascism Be an unashamed fascist in public.)
Wondering how to categorize this corrupt Trump action.
Like so much it fits in Flood The Zone With Shit.
And #DisplayFascism and #PowerGrab.
And somewhat in #ControlTheNarrative.
But it needs something more as well.
CrushOpponents? CreateFear? PunishOpponents?
Currently seven categories.
1. #FTZWS Flood the zone with shit.
2. #FTHWS Fill their heads with shit. ("You tell them how it is.")
3. #MWTS Monkeywrench the system.
4. #PowerGrab
5. #ObeyPutin
6. #ThoseBucksStopHere Grift, pay-to-play, rackets.
7. #DisplayFascism Be an unashamed fascist in public.
Seeing corrupt actions by Trump that the above don't contain well enough?
Please let me know.
@randahl
Trump: "You tell them how it is and they just believe you. I don't know why, they just do."
The problem is that too many people do believe Trump (about most things - they wouldn't believe him about Covid vaccinations.)
This corrupt action by Trump seems different to #FTZWS Flood The Zone With Shit - maybe Fill Their Heads With Shit #FTHWS?
One of the possible classifications for Trump's corrupt actions is #MonkeywrenchTheSystem.
The wrinkle is that the "The System" doesn't evoke, for me at least, the breadth or depth of what he is monkeywrenching.
Some position markers on "the system";
Ebola infection reporting programs,
climate change prevention programs,
arts funding programs,
US education programs,
diplomatic relationship protocols, &
weather forecasting programs.
smh
Is anyone tallying this stuff?
