Jimm, or Opti, or I can't remember all the other names right now, dude, you are making a mountain out of a molehill. You've been dodging my question and that's ok. As I said, like and lock as you please. You don't want to tell me why you would like a post that in reality applies to you to is just kind of strange, but that's ok. You be you and I will look at my ID to see if my name is really Richard.

Have you seen me start a thread that's "too right wing"? I can predict tomorrow who starts a thread meltibg down over Trump. I'm gonna enjoy it until 2028 or when Trump croaks lol..Okay then where do you get all your so called news from if it is not from "The Left or Right Media"?
Is it from the Online Conspiracy Theorists? Then that definitely sums up all your posts!!
Its as fun as this.
Though really, I hope the deep state pedos that MAGA have been droning on about for years are finally caught.
All the way up to the orange top.
Somehow that gif of El risitas awakened your inner desires and all you did was insert penis in his mouth...weird but being we're in an escort board...I wouldn't hold it against you and your kink.. I mean Shaq thinks dude that looks like a lady is a lady....
so you're in good company...
But you still have not explained who are your news sources. Which newspaper, or TV Channel or Online Source do you follow if it is not left or right wing?
Well having nieces who compete in judo and jiu-jitsu, probably hard to see a young woman get decimated by a biological born male after spending her entire career trying to be the best female athlete in her sport and in her division....that's just one insanity the left is willing to look over...it's as if women don't matter...Of all the huge issues facing Canada, the USA and the rest of the world, @WyattEarp, @richaceg and the righteous righties sure get really lathered up over this trans issue. Like they ever watched women’s sports anyways.
Reminds me of those pious southern Christian Holy Rollers yipping about the same stuff… then ending up in the news for sucking cock in puic bathrooms! Just sayin’ …
I watch CNN most of the time...aside from that gutfield dude...terb is where I get my info...when franky post something....I know it's the opposite of truth...But you still have not explained who are your news sources. Which newspaper, or TV Channel or Online Source do you follow if it is not left or right wing?
It's like living in fantasy isn't it... when it's good news, you guys bitch about it...then celebrate when it's bad news...WOOT WOOT when reality slaps you like a wet fish. KABOOM!!!
ps....don't show this to Wyatt until he answers my question!!!!

The job market in the United States showed another sign of cooling amid the ongoing trade war as unemployment ticked up in August to 4.3 per cent.globalnews.ca
What good news have we bitched about?? Trump hasn't accomplished jack shit to call anything good news. The economy is in a tailspin and he would be taking us down with him if it weren't for SuperCarney at the helm of our rudder.It's like living in fantasy isn't it... when it's good news, you guys bitch about it...then celebrate when it's bad news...
So CNN and Gutfield do not fit into the left or right wing of the MSM? Hmmmm!!I watch CNN most of the time...aside from that gutfield dude...terb is where I get my info...when franky post something....I know it's the opposite of truth...
Your rightie buddies will totally disagree with you........!!
You stopped posting El Risitas.Somehow that gif of El risitas awakened your inner desires and all you did was insert penis in his mouth...weird but being we're in an escort board...I wouldn't hold it against you and your kink.. I mean Shaq thinks dude that looks like a lady is a lady....
Goal achieved.
(though I know you will return to posting it soon because you like trolling and because you like the dick replies)
That's a big assumption.But you still have not explained who are your news sources. Which newspaper, or TV Channel or Online Source do you follow if it is not left or right wing?
rich just consults the oracle who tells him all he needs to think.
Have you ever watched a young woman holding back tears look up at a 6'1" muscular transgender athlete on the top podium?Of all the huge issues facing Canada, the USA and the rest of the world, @WyattEarp, @richaceg and the righteous righties sure get really lathered up over this trans issue. Like they ever watched women’s sports anyways.
Reminds me of those pious southern Christian Holy Rollers yipping about the same stuff… then ending up in the news for sucking cock in puic bathrooms! Just sayin’ …
It's just that simple. It also takes seconds to make a decision of what is right and wrong in regards to such situations. Additionally, female college athletes have made their feelings known. Is it up to you to decide whether their feelings are trivial or deserving of empathy and concern?
I'm sorry but your reference to whoever Christian Holly Rollers makes no sense in the context of the thread. We are talking about men and women. We are talking about young women who have to compete against biological men.
squeeze, I have been very well of the bloated U.S. military hierarchy for sometime.The fact that you regard Hegshit the drunk as a person to be taken seriously really shows me you are more than just Pretzel Man.
The man who let out military secrets out over Signal, yup, that man.
This man, who wants liberals and Muslims taken out

I'm very disappointed in you, Wyatt, but then again, I kind of expect it from you.
The religious man who fooled around on his wife and has a problem with the bottle, yes, that Hegshit.
I'm not surprised you got lost in assessing the personalities involved in the streamlining of the U.S. military.
Here's a little political lesson for you.
When someone does something in Washington that makes sense and should have been done years ago, they attack the messenger.
No one will admit this should have been done under previous Administrations Republican or Democrat.
An educated man like yourself gets drawn into the political drama.
Hmmm, let's see what GOOGLE AI has to say, and before I do, I suspect you are completely bent into a pretzel you cannot recover from without therapy.
Hmmmm, strange, doesn't mention a word about having too many generals.
Before you read Google's answer, go through this little tidbit because for an American, you are very ill-informed .
Pete Hegseth Is Unfit To Lead the Pentagon
Pete Hegseth lacks the credibility and experience required to lead a body as massive and as critical as the Department of Defense; his confirmation as secretary of defense would be a major risk to Americans’ safety and security.

AI Overview
Whether the U.S. military is considered "bloated" is a matter of opinion, but arguments for it often cite excessive military spending, waste and fraud by defense contractors, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and a large, complex military-industrial complex. Conversely, others argue that the U.S. military faces significant challenges with readiness, outdated infrastructure, and a need for modernization to deter growing threats from adversaries like China and Russia.
Arguments for a Bloated Military
- High Spending:
The U.S. defense budget is often described as bloated by critics, with expenditures sometimes exceeding the combined spending of the next several countries.
- Fraud and Waste:
Defense contractors have been cited for engaging in waste, fraud, and massive cost overruns.
- Military-Industrial Complex:
The significant influence of the military-industrial complex, where defense spending is heavily tied to political and economic interests, is seen by some as contributing to excessive spending.
- Threats and Adversaries:
Some argue that the U.S. military needs to be robust to counter increasing aggression and military expansion by other major powers, such as China and Russia. - Readiness and Modernization:
Concerns exist about the declining readiness of the U.S. military and the aging infrastructure, including problems with maintaining ships and a small fighter jet fleet, suggesting a need for more investment rather than cuts. - Deterrence:
Some believe that a strong, well-equipped military is necessary for effective deterrence in a dangerous global landscape.
- "Bloated" as a Subjective Term:
The term "bloated" is subjective and often used in political discourse to criticize excessive spending or inefficiency, rather than being a purely objective assessment of military size or capability.
- Focus on Different Areas:
Arguments about "bloatedness" may focus on the overall budget, specific weapons systems, or internal administrative structures, highlighting different priorities and perspectives on military effectiveness.
I don't know what you were looking for and how you actually interpret the information. I think your mistake is that you are asking for the answer on the overall U.S. military's question of bloated. I focused on the top hierarchy.Hmmm, let's see what GOOGLE AI has to say, and before I do, I suspect you are completely bent into a pretzel you cannot recover from without therapy.
Hmmmm, strange, doesn't mention a word about having too many generals.

This is what I got from Google AI when I asked does the U.S. military have too many generals. I already confessed I had more insight into issue than most people.
Per Google AI:
Yes, in recent years, there has been significant debate and action suggesting the U.S. military has had too many generals, particularly compared to the era of World War II. The ratio of generals to troops has been much higher in modern times, leading to concerns about "rank creep," clogged command structures, bureaucratic bloat, and increased taxpayer costs. In response, in May 2025, the Secretary of Defense ordered a minimum 20% reduction in the number of four-star generals and admirals across the military, partly to improve efficiency and restore a better balance between officers and enlisted personnel.
Key Arguments for Too Many Generals
- Lower Troop-to-General Ratio:
The ratio of generals to troops has increased significantly. In World War II, the ratio was approximately 1 general for every 6,000 troops, while in the mid-2010s, it was about 1 for every 1,400.
- "Rank Creep":
This term describes the tendency for more officers to be promoted into higher ranks without a corresponding increase in mission needs, leading to a larger, more expensive officer corps.
- Bureaucratic Clutter:
Too many generals and senior officers can add unnecessary bureaucratic layers to decision-making processes, slowing down operations and hindering effectiveness.
- Increased Costs:
A larger number of high-ranking officers means higher pay grades and more expenses for taxpayers.
- Impact on Effectiveness:
Some argue that a bloated officer corps can make the military less effective and less capable of defending national interests.
In May 2025, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth ordered a minimum 20% reduction in the number of four-star generals and admirals.
This cut is partly inspired by the more efficient structure of the military during World War II, when there was a better officer-to-troop ratio.
The cuts are part of a broader effort to streamline the military, reduce bureaucratic waste, and improve operational effectiveness.
I know you are very concerned about the health of the U.S. economy. You repeatedly ask me about it whenever there is a bad economic number under Trump. As I have said before, healthy economies go through cycles of growth and then short recessions. Regardless of who is in power, there is no way around the recessions.
I don't know about your economic knowledge but I have a hunch it's driven by a mixture of politics and preconceived ideas. I do know you read about it. You probably read articles based on headlines that appeal to you or choose to ignore information that doesn't fit with your preconceived ideas. In all fairness, most mainstream media coverage of economics is junk. There's no digging beyond some headline numbers and no perspective beyond yesterday.
So let's get back to basic Econ.
The Fed keeps interest rates high to slow down an inflationary economy. U.S. has the highest interest rates in the G-7 economies. They have been high for two plus years. This is not a platform for economic growth.
That's why on a few occasions last summer I said the recession would likely come in 2025. It wasn't rocket science. Sadly for your preoccupation with demonstrating to me that the inevitable slow down was Trump's doing, my posts are preserved in the TERB archives.
You and I can't simply ignore my posts from last year. I believe you were under the strong belief that the 2025 economy would be President Harris' economy. I myself wasn't so sure Trump would win.
Going forward, the Fed acknowledging that rates have to come down and acting on that is a start in the right direction. It will lead to more economic activity some time next year.
