My God, Hegseth is such a joke. Friendly press corps lobbing softballs and he still seems to make a complete fool of himself. An unserious man in a deeply serious role and at a deeply serious moment in time. A recipe for disaster. So embarrassing.

Just so we’re all grounded in reality this morning. The military does not serve at the pleasure of the President, as the Secretary of Defense just said. HE serves at the pleasure of the President. Our military swears an oath to the Constitution, full stop.

If you think this nation can withstand the pace of “this” (waves arms around wildly), for three more years, you’re sadly mistaken. Bookmark it. We are not each other’s enemies but we’re being torn in two so quickly that there may be no way back. This experiment is failing.

Welp, didn’t have the President of the United States authorizing active military to use full force against their fellow citizens on my bingo card this morning. Oh well, back to College Gameday…

Ty Cobb’s recent comments are frightening. Generational damage done in nine months. By the end of this term, we may very well be looking at multi-generational damage. And if you know anything about multi-generational damage, it’s nearly impossible to recover from.

Beginning to notice a worrying trend on this platform. The influential people who fled the bad place almost never interact with or respond to engagement. Feels like more of an echo chamber than the bird app where they continue to engage, BTW, while saying how much they hate it at the same time.

Unpopular opinion… if midterms were held today, the GOP would retain control of both chambers of Congress. And it’s not that Dems don’t have decent messaging or policy. They do. It’s that not enough voters care. And the majority of those who do, like what they see.

I’ll tell you how this ends… they pick a high profile figure who appears in the Epstein files as the fall guy. Someone completely disassociated with Trump. And maybe a few more lower profile folks. MAGA eats it up. Nothing potentially implicating Trump will ever be seen. Ever. The end.
