President Biden closed out his speech to the Department of Defense 'Commander in Chief Farewell Ceremony' by reminding the entire military -- you have an oath to live up to in the face of Trump's fascism.
Let me close with a final request.
I say it not as your President or Commander-in-Chief, I say it as a man who spent 50 years of his life serving his country in a different way.
Remember your oath.
My son, Major Beau Biden, used to call it home base.
That's a set of principles of values that give you light in darkness, that guide you.
It's true to the military, it's the best weapons, the best training in the world.
We have the most cutting-edge ships, planes, and subs.
We have the smartest, most well-trained force on earth.
That's all critical.
But that alone is not what makes us strong.
This is not what brought Washington, this band of brothers together all those years ago.
Shorter Biden: You serve the people of this great nation and not at the whims of a narcissistic fool.
MAGA TV host Brian Glenn, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) boyfriend, flew into a rage over Republicans who are standing in the way of President-elect Donald Trump's agenda.
In a Thursday meltdown on Real America's Voice, Glenn argued that MAGA's "biggest obstacle to get things done at this point is not the Democrats."
The host complained that Republicans like Tom McClintock (R-CA) had opposed some of Trump's tax cut proposals.
"So my message to every Republican out there that thinks that the American people voted them into office, they didn't!" he exclaimed.
I suppose it's fitting that the co-leader of a right-wing populist party that promotes extremism, is anti-EU, anti-NATO, anti-Ukraine, anti-immigrant, etc will show up Trump's inauguration. All the worst people will be there.

BERLIN, Jan 16 (Reuters) - A co-leader of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) will attend the inauguration of U.
Trump-supporting actors Sly Stone, Jon Voight, and, cough, cough, Mel Gibson were appointed as some sort of a HUAC type Hollywood Ambassadors by Demented Donald.
In my opinion, Trump is covering up their true mission of reporting on Hollywood for not supporting Trump and the MAGA cult in their productions by claiming he wants to make Hollywood profitable overseas again.
Trump spews nonsense like this daily, but the media now coddles his inane ramblings.
