There are just some "Things" you cannot unsee.

Actually, I suspect that Senator Incitatus was probably a better senator than most at the time and I gather he is reported to have outlived Caligula and enjoyed a quiet retirement (though I may have just gotten that from reading I Claudius and Claudius the God one too many times lol).
In any case, I've always thought that Incitatus was a much better Senator than Caligula was an Emperor.

Yet another (as if we needed one more) indicator of how badly our country is screwed. The current administration is hurling us toward an abyss of epic proportions. Once we get there and IMO it's inescapable, the carnage will be unlike anything seen before. Hope I'm wrong but don't believe I am

She just might look like a sack of antlers in that uniform… not even the best tailor could make IT look presentable

You make a good point. Can't tell if the uniform is skirted or trousered--prolly easier to tailor a skirt, given the underlying architecture. At least he sourced a decent lipstick for the official portrait:

Above all we must remain peaceful because we would not want to look bad when this Frigging thing orders us onto the boxcars to be brought to the camps for "Administration" purposes .
No really.

People work very hard and at great cost to earn the stars, I don't care what branch it is.
This is a direct slap to all those who EARNED those stars. Male or Female this is disrespecting as hell.

He is not female. He is not the first female admiral. Full stop.

Well, I'm no longer in any armed forces, but I wouldn't afford that abomination the slightest civilian courtesy or - if I were military - even salute it. Giving it four star rank is an affront to every service man and woman in the country. That effing piece of human garbage is just one (of many) example of the human sewage causing this country to circle the drain. If "it" was in a toilet, I might do the country the favor of flushing it!

You could salute with the wrong hand...

Dobbin and Doc1, I'm not sure if a digitally erect middle finger qualifies as a salute.

See, you can put lipstick on a pig and it doesn’t do a damned thing for the creature.
First female 4 star...it’s a dude who dresses like a woman and we’re all expected to believe it’s a woman. This whole admin is the world’s largest carny freak show and the bloody hell thing about is we don’t have to buy tickets. These asswipes just try to cram it down our gullets.

Somewhere along the line, folks lost their grip on the difference between "looks like" and "is."

I saw a bearded guy in a shop yesterday.
He was in full drag, dress, boots, make-up, hair.
It took me a while to deal with my mind and determine that this male using sweetie, feminine language has as much right to breathe air as I do. I am still trying to understand the mentality of the person, though I should just rinse my mind.
With a BEARD?! FFS!

Not all cross-dressers (a) are transsexuals, (b) have decent fashion sensibilities.
Meanwhile, at the spa up the street, people with two X chromosomes are lined up eight across to get their facial hair plucked, waxed or zapped out of existence.

Expected to believe it's a four-star. Just like we were expected to believe Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on his "merits."
And we were expected to believe Trump lost the 2020 Election.

Exactly. This man is an old queer guy who lives in make believe land. Years ago, everyone would understand that. Now, they attempt to dignify his ilk with the "trans" label, as if that changes reality.
As we watch this country swirl down the crapper, the best we can do for the moment is try to hang on to the edge and avoid the vortex.
Sad business.

Doc1: The "you" I refer to below isn't YOU, qua Doc1--it's the generic, anonymous "you."
I recognize the difference between gay (who you like) and transgender (who you think you are or wish you were).
If you're gay, the issue is between you, your consenting adult partner, and God. I'm not involved.
If you're trans, you are ignoring God's reality. Male and female created He them. You can re-plumb, re-wardrobe, re-name, and apply sultry lipstick, but you will never be anything other than what you were the day you were born. You cross the line when you demand that I ignore reality, too. You cross it further when you demand I honor and serve your misperception.
Some cultures deal with the issue by recognizing a third gender. I'm actually okay with this, because it acknowledges the existence of people who think they are something other than what they are, without demanding that society at large call a genetic man a woman, or a genetic woman a man. If you're third gender, you operate under a different set of rules, and don't require everyone else to adjust their reality to accommodate you.

An odd background fact:
Rachel’s given name at birth was Richard Levine. Seriously.
Tell me, I’m not the only one smirking, right?
