A top administration official told New York magazine last month that DHS had stalled confirming any high-ranking Coast Guard officials because it could threaten to remove her from her new digs.
Both Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth live on “Generals’ Row” at Fort McNair, where Hegseth’s home was expected to undergo more than $137,000 in renovations before he moved in.
Meanwhile, Trump has stripped security details from his political opponents. It’s worth noting that the only politicians who have been assassinated in the last year were Democrats.

Yet more proof they are aware they're doing the wrong thing, and how America hates them for it.
odinragnarok
which ones?
SugarSmack
Officer housing is nice housing and I'm sure they can have it improved even further on our taxpayer dime. They are living there for free while intimidating or ingratiating themselves to the troops they intend to use against their own people.
Eyeetsass
They’re all hiding. Something very horrible is coming.
QuanticChaos
They should hide in wood chippers, nobody will look in there.
yeahhedugit
You never live among the people you are soon going to attack.
nobodyspecial995
So you're saying the military is full of cowards? Gotcha.
SocoFox
In a prison of their own making.
There will never come a day where he will be able to walk freely.
He has sealed his own fate.
RadioFloyd
He’s not “hiding”, he’s using the military as his own security detail.
morninggloryshade777
Don't kid yourselves: he'll be getting even by concocting ever worse horrors for everyone.
mygodhasabiggerdick
If you gotta do that, you're doing everything wrong,
carmenbolshoi
When was the last time US Cabinet members had to be hidden in military accommodation? Ever?

Good, I'm glad he's afraid.
BronyDanza
Grifting at all times always.
BarracksLawyerESQ
It's not hard to get on a military base
ChromePlatedEquator
The same thing happened to Hermann Goering in 1939 because he said the Jews were "being mean" to him.
1doberman
I thought he was a tough guy?
TheVampireDante
Only in his head. Man' so weak he could't strangle an asthmatic hooker (despite likely trying a few times).
rukeman
Haven't the people in the military sacrificed enough ?!?
thesameasyours
He would be more comfortable in a coffin
Elsoyyo
Rikers Island has room.
chata954
He deserves what he is afraid of
EroticZombiePants
If the plan is to go to war on your own people, then it's not "hiding" in a military base. It's operating your war out of a military base.
freshthrowaway1138
This is exactly what is happening. On most military bases there is everything you need, food, shelter, security, but also runways for traveling to other parts of the country. All of these idiots moving onto bases are just simplifying what it would take to seize control of the US and still have their own infrastructure.
ObiYodi
Looking more like they are planning a military takeover.
WireWynaut
"Government moves into military facilities", historically, rarely comes from a government that remains in power.
CrisprCAS
I approve of them having living situations that keep them from the public. And some day soon... https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1cjFyeDV2cWZ1aDBpb3Uyb2wzdzVnbXNuNzBoZW92Y2p6a2pzeDRnMCZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/4a7aPa84G4UiK7OvB6/200w.webp

Alcatraz I believe. Wild to see live
MapleSyrupMafia
If military leaders decides to uphold the constitution and protect their country, at least he'll be within walking distance of the firing squad.
RooGryphon
Too good for them i prefer a room with a rope
Onlyhereforthelaughs
They'll never see prison. Best we can hope for is a pine box.
KevinStrexcorp
Better?
4Astaroth
They already live in their own prisons. They should just get to some police station and turn themselves in to soften up the relationship to the public.
bippityboppitybuttsex
He should live in fear....
ExecutiveProducerWolfDyck
I disagree. He shouldn't live, and he knows it.
MCNewYorkLives
It's not enough
bippityboppitybuttsex
If he never sleeps for more than 40 minutes again, that will be an achievement... it is fun, it drives you a bit bonkers...
verbeckpaul1960
Rubio and Hogsbreath should NOT be allowed to live on “Generals row” on a military base! They are NOT active military personnel and have no right to live there!
Jandegrote
Yeah yeah yeah out of all the fucking shit they do that would be fucking bottom of the barrel of the bullshit list.
verbeckpaul1960
The only reason they are there is because they are hiding from the American people! They know if they didn’t live on the base where they are protected their lives would certainly be in jeopardy!
TalkingSnake
How many steps is this from a bunker?
MothMonsterMan
Not enough if those generals don't agree to kill American citizens
EroticZombiePants
It's probably no coincidence Bezos just announced he's basically working on the world's most expensive bunker for him and his wife. People like him would very much be in the loop of the upcoming plans. in fact, many of them are actively working on the plans along with the administration.
SackTheRipper
They are taking over military housing. Trying to make DC a compound. Wonder where the kehlsteinhaus will be.
Eyeetsass
Chicago, LA, Portland, and NYC. The greatest concentrations of democratic voters. They’re going to do a purge before midterms. They’ll abduct as many as they can, and drive twice as many out with fear. Liberals are the enemies of the regime.
DocFunkenstein
No, they're setting up shop on military bases for the upcoming attempt to completely overthrow the government.
I don't know why people are acting like they're cowering.
WireWynaut
Look, I'm not going to go into history in detail right now, or say that they don't have vile plans, but "Government moving into military facilities" tends to be pretty well towards the bottom of lists of events that end in such things as "Government falls" and "former administration dragged out of hidey holes to die/stand trial"
DocFunkenstein
But it's on the list.
That's the point.
CurbYourClassWar
Eldibs
Because many still have hope that this war can be won with their honor intact. "Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask their ghosts if honor matters."
stryhf
With the White House bunker inconveniently under the demolished East Wing, the military base is the fall back bunker for now.
Sageypie
Not a doubt in my mind that Trump isn't doing the ballroom renovations in part to renovate the presidential bunker into something he can stay in long term. Guy is planning to set up a crises so he can cease voting from happening and just remain in power. My money is on him just straight up nuking Venezuela at this point, and banking on it not leading to global nuclear holocaust. Or him being able to just hunker down and survive if it does.
somerandomusernamething
A military overthrow is a ways off. At current state, food riots are much more immediate.
TrueLegateDamar
"The democrats are responsible for these fake riots when Americans clearly never had it better before, we will arrest them all."
somerandomusernamething
That will be the rhetoric push, but the people are currently not in agreement, hence the hiding while removing security from Dem leaders.
