Trump transition team compiling list of current and former U.S. military officers for possible courts-martial
Unrelated, but boy howdy do I love a plural postpositive adjective
Edit: thank you for all the fun examples and discussion. Did not expect to wake up and see this many responses to a comment I put almost no thought into, I love this website
indeed. i hope they bring in several attorneys general and enforce this with all the sergeants major.
Had to Google this cause my English isn't that good, and now I know something new that my brain is filing under 'why does anyone know this?'
There are very few common words/expressions that use plural postpositive adjective. To add to what NephewAlphaBravo said - "wrong" will sound right to most Americans. The average American reads at a sixth grade level.
A correct form is "attorneys general" but that's rare. The average American would say "attorney generals".
It's pretty useless tbf, one of those things that native english speakers wouldn't even notice if you got it "wrong"

Hegseth calls the withdrawal a “humiliating retreat” and says leaders at the Pentagon were not held accountable for the deadly attack at Abbey Gate, which killed 13 U.S. service members and roughly 170 Afghan civilians. Nor were they held accountable for a subsequent U.S. airstrike in Kabul that officials thought would kill the Islamic State group leader behind the suicide attack but instead killed 10 innocent Afghans, including seven children, he wrote.
lol it's literally Benghazi all over again.

Critical support for the empire hurting itself.
An annoying editor at some point before this article was published.
"Uhh ackshually it's courts-martial."Nominally it's about Afghanistan but - of course - Trump couldn't give less of a shit about that. This power move is entirely about Trump seeing how much he can push the envelop.
I mean he can't serve any further terms so if ever, now's the time to really go nuts and see how crazy this ride gets
He hasn't even been sworn in yet and it's clear he's going to try to break every norm, rule, and law. There really is no incentive for him not to go nuts. The only thing that could stop him - and it's only in theory - is the republican party. And they aren't going to try to stop the the no brakesTrump Train. He knows that they know he would destroy them.
Only because his brain will surely be a puddle of goo in 4 years
Surely this will help the military with their recruitment woes.
This is so fucking funny lmao
So are they going to throw officers in the brig because they made tactical mistakes? I'm getting a feeling (maybe it's hopium) that these people are like a dog catching a car.
a dog catching a car
The Trump Train is going at ramming speed. But even if the 2026 elections are a gimmie for the dems - never underestimate their fantastical abilities in fucking up. My wild guesses are that "patriotism" or some other loser concept will be the dem party's quasi-official motto for 2026 and that they'll have another big loser in that they'll continue to try to get "reasonable" republicans to vote for them.
Wow, this presidency might actually be the next phase. I predict that he will attempt to convince Congress to remove term limits from the presidency.
What would even be the point, the man is term limited by life
I used to think the funniest outcome would be that Trump wins 2024 and then dies before he takes office.
But this raises a new, even funnier idea: Trump wins 2028 and then dies before he starts his third term.
The silliest point would be to die of old age and have Vance take over, now without limits. But the broader point would be setting the conditions for a future evolution of the program.
term limits
I predict Trump will succeed. Trump has to get through SCOTUS too. But what I think is funny is that the GOP SCOTUS justices turned Trump into Godzilla without even something limiting like control collar. How can you say "no" to Godzilla? He does whatever he wants. The GOP justices gave Trump the powers of a king. Criminal law doesn't apply to him. He can imprison, torture, or kill anybody. Even members of congress and their families or the justices themselves or their families.
who cares, it's not a democracy anyway
This would benefit dems longterm. Shit gets worse domestically marginally faster under republicans and they struggle to get reelected as a result. People meanwhile really really would have voted for Obama a third time and he'd definitely be on his way to his fifth term rn
