Seeing Hegseth and Trump tried for war crimes would make an otherwise awful year infinitely better.

Heck, let's throw in Kristi Noem for good measure.

Because indoctrinating kids is far more important to their social development than attending school with kids from their own neighborhood and community. 🙄
