Chris Miller, the US Defence Secretary's last press briefing transcript: You have to read to believe it.
"I so…I mean, I cannot wait to leave this job, believe me," Miller said. The Pentagon transcript included the phrase, "blah blah bluh blah."
And effusively praised Russia: "Russian? I think they're extremely…uh…I have professional respect for how they do things…I think they're played a really bad hand of card very, very well. Declining population, single -- single source of economic revenue through natural resources. I kind of, you know, like professionally I'm like, wow, they're doing pretty well, and they're using a lot of irregular warfare concepts, information, all this stuff, in a way that, you know, like…good on them," Miller said.

What on earth is going on with this guy? What are we supposed to think about this? He is in charge of the entire military.

Yes this is real. It's on the DOD website. But who were the reporters?

R4, so so-called press gaggle, the usual group that would follow the DoD. But it’s the official transcript, prepared by the government itself.
Yes, this guy is beyond stupid.

Will anyone from that gaggle be releasing their own files, maybe audio?
It would be nice to have some names to follow.

High As Fuck? It would be my guess except that for all those words there's not so much as a tiny segment that has any point or insight or art to it.
It all sounds more Stupid As Fuck.

CNN (via twitter) is reporting that they don't have the names of any reporters who were in this gaggle. So nobody to follow up with?

Where in that transcript does he say he can't wait to leave? I don't see it.

So, just a little off topic, but I wonder if the story ever will confirm that a lot of the Trumpers are high, Coke, speed, booze... just seems a lot of messy thinking and talking that addicts put out..

I don't know why that is, r17... but here ya go:

Q: Yep…say nothing of the littoral combat ship. It’s like the list of flawed acquisition programs…seems endless to me. What is your takeaway about these programs and the Pentagon’s acquisition process?
A/SEC. MILLER: I so…I mean, I cannot wait to leave this job, believe me. But part of me is like, I would have loved to have gotten involved in the acquisition process and try…and you know, talk about wicked problem. I wanted to take that one on….F-35s, the case study. Although, I gotta tell you, yesterday we were talking to some guy, some lieutenant colonel, or colonel, said ‘what are you flying?’ Said ‘F-35,’ I was like that’s a piece of…and he was like…and he laughed, and I was like, ‘no seriously, tell me about it,’ and he was…an F-16 guy, F-35, he said…’unbelievable aircraft,’ I’m not…I…that investment, for…that capability, that we’re never supposed to use, ‘well, we have to deter, blah blah bluh blah…Are we fifth generation? You know we…I think it’s hilarious, you know, right now, you know, ‘well we need to invest in the sixth generation,’ I’m like, we have created a monster, but you know that.

^Whereas my eyes turned in their sockets.
Why is that as each day draws closer to the final day of the Trump Misadministration is worst than the last preceding one?

Delicious, R27! I fucking love that this admin isn't even waiting one fucking day to do this. I guarantee you longtime gov. officials will be coming out of the woodwork to spill about the last four years. The level of incompetence beyond our nightmares. trump supporters and enablers are fucking garbage.
They need find a way to get rid of DeJoy. That's the one I want dragged behind a horse out of town. And end SS to all of his fucking shit kids.
