Courtesy of TPM:
A convoy of military vehicles flying a "Trump" flag was caught on video driving through Louisville, Kentucky, on Sunday.
In the recording, four vehicles—the first flying a blue flag with "TRUMP" and "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" emblazoned in white—drive down Interstate 65, according to a report by the Courier-Journal.
IndivisibleKY, a self-described activist organization formed after President Donald Trump's 2016 election victory, posted video of the convoy on its website on Monday.
Apparently there is some confusion as to whom the vehicles belong.
Tracey Metcalf, administrator for the Military Vehicle Preservation Association, said the color of the convoy suggests the vehicles did or do belong to the Army.
Patrick Hodges, a spokesman for Ft. Knox, told the Courier-Journal that the convoy was not theirs, as did Maj. Stephen Martin, director of public affairs for the Kentucky National Guard.
Army spokeswoman Lt. Col. Jennifer Johnson said that photos of the vehicles were "too blurry to say if they belonged to Army units," according to the report.
A Defense Department spokesman said that flying such a flag would "violate regulations" and suggested that the vehicles could be military surplus vehicles purchased by civilians.
I am not sure which is more troubling, that the military might be all in for Trump, or that there are rabid Trump supporters with an arsenal of military weapons and armored vehicles in their possession.
Let these soldiers and their sons die fighting Dump's wars. Let us libs live and prosper.
ReplyDeleteHe already has his own personal body guard contingent who do not have to abide by fed. regulations in regard to protestors... Hiring goons with ex-army vehicles is a logical step. Hair Furor is escalating his war on Americans who dis him.

DeleteWell, considering what is going on at Dulles, I wouldn't be surprised if there are large pockets of the military also more "Trump" than "U.S. Military."
ReplyDeleteProbably think it is their duty to ensure there is no military coup, since that possibility is more of a danger now than ever before.
lol. What is it like in your fantasy world?
DeleteThe fantasy world is the one you inhabit 12:03.
DeleteMost of us really don't think about the military at all unless we are unfortunate enough to live near a base where they fly loud planes at inopportune times for sleeping. I've never known anyone who was a military member and even though I'm in an area with bases I've not ever met one.
DeleteThey kind of keep to themselves and do their own thing, whatever that is. It was never a job that any of my family wanted to take.
They keep to themselves and that is an issue. They are like North Korean citizens in relation to the amount of propaganda they are fed and believe I have a cousin near Ft. Knox. Cray cray wife. Cray cray.
DeletePlease keep going with your uppity, better than thou, liberal view of the military, and be very vocal about it, mock the men and women in uniform all the way into the next election!
DeleteHow about filming the plates? We're they government or private party?

ReplyDeleteAnd what would the a**holes say if a convoy was seen flying a "Clinton" flag???
ReplyDeleteOr an "Obama" flag?
DeleteThey would be saying Thank God we did not elect a REALITY TV STAR President!
Delete94-77571 on the tailgate.
ReplyDeleteNo plates.
Hmmm what if these are the "surplus" military vehicles going to police forces?
The same kinds of vehicles that will be used against us.
Looks like an ISIS convoy to me.
ReplyDeleteI've been out of uniform for 20 years, however, one of those vehicles appeared to have an RDF antenna on it (radio direction finding). All vehicles had van bodies . . . sonsofbitches are listening to us.
IMHO, too many vehicles to be all privately owned military surplus vehicles. The Army guy is just closing his eyes to the obvious...
ReplyDelete"too blurry" my ass!!
ReplyDeleteI downloaded the video, paused it, got a screen grab, enlarged it, and read vehicle numbers that should correlate to a unit. While not absolutely certain, the numbers I got were:
54-7751B
OT?" The bias doesn't exist because we only believe what we want to believe, but instead because we fail to ask the correct questions about new information and our own beliefs."It isn't that we don't want to discover the truth, at least in the microcosm of reasoning tested in the experiment. All people needed was a strategy which helped them overcome the natural human short-sightedness to alternatives."

ReplyDelete"this Supreme Court vacancy is different. It exists only as the result of the wrongful denial of the LEGITimacy of Obama's presidency. It is a breakdown of the very functioning of our democracy and a slap in the face to constitutional norms. It is an attempted theft that, if permitted, would bring longstanding consequences. "

Funny you should say that about the military being all in for Trump. I have been Hounded by a cousin in law stationed by Fort Knox about how much we don't know, and how she gets military videos showing how the Video of Trump mocking the disabled reporter was was faked. These people are fucking nuts. I fully believe the military cant wait for WW3. She is so delusional and keeps telling me to get over it. Trump won. Her husband is a blathering idiot from ptsd, not wanting to take his struggles lightly, but HOW can she not see how bad our situation is right now?
ReplyDeleteThey 'inform' themselves through RW propaganda and have no idea what is going on in the real world. They are fervid in their beliefs which are based only on lies. They cannot be reasoned with because they don't live in reality. Fox and company scramble their feeble gullible noodles. They are called the republican base.
DeleteWe don't exactly get the "best and the brightest" in our military. They are more the demographic that had a choice to be a trailer park crackhead or sign up.
DeleteAnd there you have it, the typical lefty understanding of the military at 5:48.
DeleteTrue, OP here. My cousin went in to straighten his ass out - he was a male prostitute and drug abuser with a record. Also felt like the black sheep of family and was desperately seeking family atmosphere.
DeleteWhich.....leads me to what I WANT to say every time his crazy wife writes to me that we should be thankful that he is protecting us. I really want to say "Look, hon, I've known him for longer than you have and he went into the army cause he felt he was hitting bottom and needed a way out, a way to get healthcare and an education . There was NO altruistic "save us from XYZ about it". He gave his youth and his mental health to the US army fighting bullshit wars in the middle east. I hope he thinks it was worth it?" Perhaps in his case it was I guess. Big price to pay though.
But I don't write it. What is the point? I just have hidden her FB now.
Oh yes 4:15, your cousin represents the 'entire' US Military. Gonna make a big prediction here and guess he never made Admiral, or Tank Commander, or F-16 Pilot, or even Sergeant.
DeleteJust curious, do you like your price of gas? Do you like the price of all the chinese goods you buy at your big box? Do you like the relative regional stability you have, which allows you the leisure time to look down your liberal nose to scoff at the military?

I see several large pickups in Wasilla all the time... with two six foot poles in the back, one pole has a big ass flag that says Trump and the other is a confederate flag... ahhh, why did I move here? I keep telling myself it is good to be in their territory so I can learn who, and what they are for the resistance, but I don't know when I see things like that I want to be in a bubble down in Portland or Seattle.
ReplyDelete"I can learn who, and what they are for the resistance"
DeleteHahahaa, ohhh myyy the big 'resistance' lol.
These are your fellow Americans hon, not your enemy. They just vote different than you do, you know, democracy and choices and all lol.
You don't like elections and democracy?
Hey genius, since Alaska was over 51% for Trump and only about 36% for Hillary, your pretend enemies are going to be much more than just a couple dudes in big pickups.
DeleteEven if they don't have big flags, your more incognito pretend enemies are also the little old lady driving a Oldsmobile, it is also the schoolteacher driving a cavalier, it is also a waitress driving an accord, it is also the lawyer driving their BMW, it is also college kid driving a pathfinder... you get the drift.
THEY ARE ALL AROUND YOU SO WATCH OUT!... you know, while you are observing and learning for the big resistance. (cough)
Or you could just vote in the next election and accept we live in a democracy with standard election cycles. Elections that have consequences.

DeleteI live here too and we just call them "inbred retarded rednecks".
They usually are unemployed or maybe do something like wash my car or change its oil or make me a latte at the local coffee shack.
They are not even worth noticing, just a heap of trash at the bottom of the barrel.
They are everywhere all over this country, but normal people just pay no attention to them.

DeleteThey are borderline retarded ignorant fools like you ... hon. lol
Yeah, ell, the teacher may be out of a job soon. The waitress may have to start turning tricks to make ends meet or get healthcare. The old lady, too, might just die as she can't afford her meds anymore.
DeleteCull the herd Donald. And hey- let's not get flu shots to make it happen faster!!Donnie says they are a scam!
A spokesman for Ft. Knox, Patrick Hodges, said it wasn't theirs.
ReplyDeleteSame for the Kentucky National Guard, said Maj. Stephen Martin, director of public affairs.
A Defense Department spokesman, Maj. Jamie Davis, who examined images of the four-truck procession for the Courier-Journal, said he doesn't think it belonged to any service branch — and that the vehicles may have been military.
Davis said it would violate regulations to fly such a flag on a military vehicle. “That is not standard procedure,” he said. He also said it would have been against the rules to run a military convoy without unit markings on the trucks.
Chris Rowzee, a spokeswoman for indivisibleky, a new activist organization in Louisville, said that as a retired veteran who served 28 years in the Air Force, “I can't even begin to describe how disturbed I am by this.”
While Donald Trump is president, she said, the military is supposed to be a nonpolitical organization in which servicemen and women swear an oath to the Constitution, not to any particular president.
“To show a partisan political leaning on a military vehicle is very reminiscent of Nazi Germany,” she said.

Many part of the military in KY HATED Pres Obama and are all orgasmical over Trump.
DeleteI checked out Amazon site, one of the questions to the vendor was: Does it come in Russian? NO and claims it is made in USA, but no proof and quite few complaints it was cheaply made.
ReplyDeleteI don’t have an acct with Amazon but I wanted to ask if they are planning on coming out with an IMPEACHMENT edition. You know sort of collectors edition to go along with the inauguration one.
I find it rather disconcerting that no one in the military knew for sure whether it was theirs or surplus. What in the hell are they selling these as surplus anyway.
ReplyDeleteThese FAKE army guys should be the first ones to be drafted in trump’s war. Wanna bet they cry for deferment or run to Canada.

DeleteSince a well-armed middle class doesn't fit int to a Trump/Putin agenda, i have a theory that when they come for the guns, you'll have an opportunity to keep your guns, but you must join Trump's militia.
ReplyDeleteFuck that !

You are on here running your mouths. Let them have a little fun! And if you are one of our U.S. Vets, you of all people should understand them having a little fun. Stop being so narrow minded and do something with your life.
ReplyDeleteNo, and fuck you.

Gee, Trump might just get liberals to buy guns just like Obama got the White Trash out buying guns in record numbers.
ReplyDeleteMy husband called them "recovery vehicles" when I showed him the video. He's a retired infantry officer, totally and permanently disabled by exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam. He has dementia and his short-term memory is very poor, but he remembers the distant past better. He also said "Crane," as he watched the video.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt they're just a bunch of paramilitary/survivalist nuts showing off. These people will buy any military surplus they can afford. There's a group of them in Washington who like to tool around the wilderness in GAMA goats and HMMWVs.
