...""You know Mattis. General Mattis. General Milley. Real beauties," Trump said on stage on Saturday.
"General Milley is the one who decided to take the soldiers out first," he added. "General Milley is the one that said let's leave $85 billion worth of equipment behind because it's cheaper than taking it out. It's cheaper than putting a tank of nice, clean fuel in the airplane and flying it to Pakistan or flying it all the way home. It's cheaper to leave it there."

He claimed 700,000 rifles, 70,000 vehicles, and more were left behind after war.

The ex-president added, "We have an unbelievable military. We just have some really bad leaders."

Exactly! I wish some people could understand that nuance. But hey, let's criticize everything Trump does because the news told us to.

1.) It’s Official: With “Vermin,” Trump Is Now Using Straight-up Nazi Talk
He’s telling us what he will do to his political enemies if he’s president again. Is anyone listening?

November 12, 2023

On Saturday at 10:25 a.m., he posted on Truth Social:

“In honor of our great Veterans on Veteran’s Day, we pledge to you that we will root out the Communists, Marxists, Fascists, and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country, lie, steal, and cheat on Elections, and will do anything possible, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America, and the American dream.”

Then, at a rally in New Hampshire later that day, he repeated those words essentially verbatim—promising to “root out ... the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country”—and then doubled down on it:

“The real threat is not from the radical right, the real threat is from the radical left, and it’s growing every day, every single day. The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave than the threat from within. Our threat is from within.”

1.) Project 2025: A conservative think tank's plan for a Republican presidency

By Beatrice Lawrence

* Air Date: Tuesday, September 19, 2023, 3:00pmTuesday, September 19, 2023, 4:30pm

In April, a conservative think tank called the Heritage Foundation unveiled the blueprint for Project 2025—a game plan to be used if a Republican is elected president in the next election.

The more than 900-page report outlines how conservatives might boost executive power and deconstruct the administrative state from the moment a Republican president is sworn in.

We talk to a public policy expert about what’s in the plan, the likelihood of it being enacted, and how it would affect how we’re governed.

3.) THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION

The Heritage Foundation brands itself as a beacon of the intellectual conservative establishment. In reality, the think tank serves as a pipeline of hate to the Trump administration, dedicating significant energy to extremist policy recommendations to deny access to abortion and birth control and to harm LGBTQ people.

Summary
Extremism
Key Players
Influence
Related Orgs

* Since its founding, the Heritage Foundation has become “inextricably intertwined” with Republican administrations and lawmakers in Washington. Heritage brands itself as a beacon of the intellectual conservative establishment; in reality, it is an organization that regularly spouts hateful ideas on par with organizations like the Family Research Council (FRC), which has earned designation from the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group. Much like its peer groups, Heritage dedicates significant energy to extremist policy recommendations that hinder access to abortion and birth control and promote discrimination against LGBTQ individuals.

* These extremist policy positions have had an outsized influence on the Trump administration. As reported in the New York Times Magazine, Heritage developed a massive database of conservatives — many of them current staffers or alums of the think tank — to staff the Trump administration. These individuals, who are connected to Heritage and currently serve in the administration, maintain relationships with the think tank and likely serve as back channels to influence policy — which has been closely mirrored between the two entities since Trump took office.


EXTREMISM
* Despite claiming to conduct “accurate research,” Heritage supports extremist policies and misleading information


INFLUENCE
* Heritage has developed a vast right-wing network, beginning with strong internship and college outreach programs.


* Heritage’s Young Leaders Program — with 75-person summer cohorts — is a successful stepping stone into positions within the federal government.

“On-ramps to congressional staff positions for conservatives include talent development programs funded by The Heritage Foundation, the Charles Koch Institute, The Federalist Society, the Tax Foundation and the Mercatus Center.” [Roll Call, 1/25/19]



* Heritage President Kay Cole James announced the 2018 dedication of a new dormitory for the think tank’s interns as an expansion of its “base of operations” in the “fight” against the left.

“James… described the new intern dorm as an expansion of the think tank’s ‘base of operations’ against what she characterized as a ‘very determined and very well-resourced foe. They want to change America into something she was never intended to be. And they might succeed if we don’t fight every single day of our lives.’” [New York Times Magazine, 6/20/18]

A.) Heritage has exercised enormous control over staffing the Trump administration — as is clearly demonstrated in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

B.) Heritage alums working at HHS were intimately involved in the creation of OCR’s new discriminatory division — a concept embraced by The Heritage Foundation.

C.) The Heritage Foundation has had clear policy influence over the Trump administration, particularly as HHS threatens to gut funding for research using fetal tissue.
