No, the deputy defense secretary filled in.

And now it's scandalous that he left and joined a corporate board in MIC.

Jesus Christ you stupid f&^%s are gonna bend over backwards to avoid criticism.

I didn't think it would be this easy for them.

They're turning this place into a complete joke and y'all are like "Hell yeah! MAGA!"

Nice dance, -------.

Just slink away the next time you step on your own dick.

MAGA. One great pick after another great pick. No boxes checked, just qualified people, finally.

Has anyone told you lately that you're an idiot?

He was probably thinking about Lloyd Austin, who was merely a 4-star general and CENTCOM commander.

Blinken was SoS. Which would be appropriate for a diplomat and lawyer...

When was Blinken Defense Secretary?

Any of you --------- beginning to question your support of this clown show yet?

Schumer needs to go.

Prepare yourself. Get tough mentally and avoid the path Troofy is on.

I'm not a progressive, moron. I'm not that attached to most of it.

But they are going to hurt a lot of people with the changes they're saying they want to make and you're delusional if you think otherwise. You're even more delusional if you think you won't be affected.

Oh, and it's cute you think they're going to operate within the norms of the past. Trump is already making demands even outside his first administration norms that should make your skin crawl.

Executive experience, which is more than one can say for the majority of biden's cabinet.

No wonder you have such low expectations. You're standards suck.

You'd think you would tap someone with at least law enforcement experience, if not national security experience.

This administration is gonna be such a clown show second only to the idiots tying themselves in knots justifying that it's really not that bad.

Not an administration what worked with social media platforms to stifle conservative speech...

#NeverHappened

Doesn't make the list of real problems.

So what would you say is the major issue?

My party had a primary. End of discussion

#29 | Posted by lfthndthrds

I'm well aware.

Why do you think I pointed out that you CHOSE Trump?

So if it's a huge knock on Harris that she lost to it, it's an even greater knock on YOU that you chose it and voted for it.

Nope just us and them. I expect a lot of them to come crawling over when they start hurting

#18 | Posted by truthhurts

You'll be disappointed.

They'll continue to blame you and every other democrat, librul, progressive blah blah blah.

They'll never blame themselves nor will they ever admit you or anyone other than them was right.

That's not within their ability to do.

because the government ( led by fauci ) lied to us.....every god damn day.

No, they didn't.

You are, for the millionth time, just too dense to understand what was going on.

He will ensure fair and swift deregulatory decisions that will be enacted in a way to unleash the power of American businesses, while at the same time maintaining the highest environmental standards, including the cleanest air and water, on the planet,"

Those are mutually exclusive.

Bets on whether the Cuyahoga River lights on fire again before Trump finishes his term?

will this appointment piss off democrats ?.....if yes then I'm all in....because if despicable godamn

democrats don't like it.....that means it's a good choice.

#13 | Posted by shrimptacodan

Whatever y'all do, don't call shrimptacoracist garbage. No siree, that would be inaccurate and oh-fensive.

Hell, I'm shocked you made out of bed and was able to log on...

#12 | Posted by lfthndthrds

Considering I'm home sick? Yeah, me too.

I don't disagree. What other issues are you seeing that are driving up prices?

#100 | Posted by BellRinger

VC/PE groups buying up all the homes in high demand areas. Which is the primary driver.

Let that last one sink in a minute. Your candidate couldn't beat an adjuicated rapist and a multiple times felon for mishandling classified information.. Oh, and the hush money
Yeah, that guy...

Let it sink in that even when your party had a choice, they chose that.

As bad as corky is for continuing to cling to Harris being a good choice, you and your party are far, far worse.

Nothing, nada, zilch? Not sure why I expected you to have a rational alternative in mind, but hey... I was wrong.

First of all, your little shtick is well past old. You can always tell when you're cornered because you fall back on a logical fallacy presented with hollow attempts at condescension.

Second, no, it wasn't because people didn't know who she was because she only had a few months. FFS how f*&^ing tone deaf and insulated are you?

She ran for POTUS once before. She was the first to lose.

She was VP for four years and did nothing. What little she attempted was failure after failure. That's why her bio page (before she was handed the nomination) was mostly about being half black half south asian parents were blah blah blah. It wasn't about initiatives she was working on or had successfully guided to completion.

Once she was handed the nomination, they played identity politic -------- with it. Made no significant attempt to counter the narrative that she and Biden were responsible for the inflationary pressure everyone feels, certainly didn't message well that things were much improved and are continuing to improve.

But there was gonna be $25K handouts to further inflate housing costs! And taxes on money people hadn't even earned yet! (I know most wouldn't be affected by that, but it plays into the stereotypes about dems) And programs to help black male entrepreneurs get into the weed business!

Let's not even get into framing the whole women's rights issues as being about just abortion, which makes them sound ghoulish and rather dispicable to a lot of people.

So not only was it not a great campaign, but she was just a bad choice that wasn't decided by the Dem voters.

Your little life preserver you're clinging to? Just another misstep on the Dems part to further point out their culpability in this fiasco.

Everyone is focused on celebrity payouts.

While a stupid use of money, it accounts for what, $10-12 million in total? That's only 1-1.2% of $1 billion.

I saw numbers floating around showing her campaign paid 5 or 6 "consulting firms" about $500 million.

For what? Who owns them?

When rcade takes away the nooner, we say "HELL NO, WE WON'T GO!"

I see... so, your better solution for a couple of mos before the Election was what now?

#14 | Posted by Corky

LOL

Just LOL

I see you've clung to an excuse like a life preserver floating by after a shipwreck.

who elected the GOP in a landslide

And this ------- idiot thinks he should be taken seriously.
