100%. This is the message that EVERY former military service member should be sending to every American that never served, and especially to those who don’t truly appreciate what military service means and what its takes to operate the world’s most complex military machine.
Hegseth has to go.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

A weird way of seeing it, but it kinda works.
Like 30% of the country is absolutely enraged because they thought they were going to be able to be utter shitbirds without anyone being allowed to call them shitbirds, but here we are, calling them shitbirds.

It’s time for people to get a grip on where we really are. This is a very realistic take on where we are and how to try and start getting out of it. But make no mistake, Trump and the GOP have permanently scarred and shamed America forever.
Nobody is going to resign, nobody is going to invoke the 25th amendment, we don’t have the votes to impeach him. Find Candidates you can support and insist on election security from people already in office.

Amen. The free pass expired in November 2020. We’re way beyond that now. Fuck those people.
When asked about the death of a W. Virginia National Guardsman, the President of the United States bragged about his electoral margin in her state.
When asked about the shooter, he called the reporter a stupid person.
Please stop holding quarter for anyone supporting this monstrous piece of shit.

Trumpism:
1. When you don’t understand a thing, declare it stupid and break it.
2. When something goes wrong because you broke it, blame Democrats.
3. Ignore the Constitution and law, but pretend to love them.
4. Claim America is great, but do things that undermine its strength.

Congressional Republicans and some Supreme Court members may have capitulated their power to Trump, but at least some judges are holding the line to try and stop our slide into a banana republic ruled by criminals and the craven.

Don’t know him at all. But I agree 100% with what he says in this message.
Dems should be introducing articles of impeachment EVERY SINGLE DAY to force the Republicans to reject them.
Because when the GOP falls - and it will - the stake of complicity needs to be driven through its heart.

So let me get this straight… now the Republicans that enabled Trump in 2016 and now have buyer’s remorse about it are trying to ret-con Dick Cheney into being some kind of decent, moral, upstanding American?
He was a monster that lied America into war.
Enough of this shit. Good riddance.

A very effective and succinct breakdown of the cognitive dissonance that “Republicans” and “Conservatives” have when it comes to Donald Trump.
I grew up in an actual Republican family to parents that were actually Conservatives. Donald Trump is neither of those things. Neither are his supporters.

Watching two Millennials talk about Bitcoin like it’s a rational and sensible investment vehicle is so cringey.
In this interview, Luke Kawa spews a word salad that boils down to: people panic and sell when things go down, and speculation and hype makes it go up.
Well, duh. 🤦
