His strategy is doing whatever trump tells him to do.
"I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, US general and 34th president (14 Oct 1890-1969)
Happy Birthday General Eisenhower!

Happy Birthday AOC!
Many doctors ignore the requirement. Unless they see something obvious. Wouldn't surprise me if they bill the ins. co. anyway saying they performed the test. My dr. actually sets a separate appt. for it with his nurse. I have no cognitive issues so it is a bit of a joke.
Technically if you are a Medicare recipient, you are required to do this test annually. The test is a joke for anyone still hasn't had mental decline but it is a way for your provider to spot the beginning of dementia. He treats it like an IQ test. It is not even close.
"Imagine there's no countries, / It isn't hard to do. / Nothing to kill or die for, / And no religion, too. / Imagine all the people / Living life in peace." -John Lennon, musician (9 Oct 1940-1980)

Happy Birthday John!
They will vote against their parties wishes.
No, he is a real christian. That is who they are. I grew up in that mess. Say one thing, live another. Control women, devalue education, brainwash children with nonsense.

I'm so sick of the casualness of their constant lying.
That is true. They are going to get treated anyway and we are going to pay for it anyway.
Someone posted a video of Hegseth trying to do chin ups. He had to swing is legs violently just to get his nose up to the bar and he didn't even start fully stretched. The video also showed a young woman with a baby strapped to her doing real chin ups with no problem. He is a wuss!
A true classic. Jazz comes in many variations but this piece is at it's core.
"When "illegals" get sick or injured, they show up at the hospital. The hospital treats them. Our own insurance coverage and medical costs go up to cover that treatment. Simply insuring them would be far less expensive. And it would be humane. But humane is not something the Right can call itself.
She is doing something about it. She is speaking up and letting the world know everyone, even his family, thinks he is an idiot. Her father was beloved. I always thought Bobby would have made and even better President than Jack. Alas, we will never know.
We are grateful for your concern. I know it looks really bad, and it is, but many of us are trying to keep it from getting worse and hopefully the day will come when this mess is over. Many/most of us cherish our alliances with our legacy allies.
I am 75 and workout 4 times a week. I do two sets of 10 pullups full length. Hegseth is a wuss. All mouth. Probably why he doesn't want women in the military. Afraid they make him look bad.
Since no one follows their oaths anyway, is a swear in really necessary?
"A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It is a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity." -Jimmy Carter
Trump may have immunity. Hegseth does not. He will be tried as a traitor
The coward will never show up in the field
Flynn went to a religious high school in my State known for abuse by the priests
Power trip. He was low ranking when in the military. Probably hated high ranking officers. Now he gets to order them around. They need to find a way to get him removed.
It was a purely narcistic power play. He left the military at low rank and now wants to show he can boss Generals around. I would love to hear the private conversations among those Officers that had to attend.
