Petty beyond the outer frontiers of pettiness. The Dems would never stoop so low when it comes to the personal safety of political enemies. And I challenge any MAGAt to factually refute that statement.

Foolish me. I did not think he would be confirmed. Once again I must remind myself to never underestimate just how craven Republicans have become.

Personally, I doubt Hegseth will last even one full year.

As for the MAGAts on this site, please remember the ancient Chinese saying: Be careful what you wish for. You may get it.

Trump. A bull running loose in a china shop. Nobody benefits. Except for the rich owner of a china factory.

Why does anyone, MAGAt or otherwise, have difficulty conceding that Hegseth is not qualified to be Secretary of Defense. Do they fear they will will look weak if they make that obvious concession? Do they fear they may look disloyal to Trump who obviously made a poor selection? Does it just piss them off to maybe acknowledge the Dems are right about something? I don't get it.

Maybe Florida will break off and fall into the Gulf of America or the Trumpic Ocean.

Trump is bummed out that Manson, Bundy, Dahlmer and Gacy are no longer around to release from prison. His kind of guys.

Classy move by Biden. And also trolled the hell out of MAGAts in the process. High fives all aroundn.

DBT2: But that's the rub. Trump is going to be doing thousands of random things based on selfish, manipulative or just plain stupid reasons. Many (most) will not affect us individually but some certainly will and we may not even initially pick up on it as it happens.

So me times there just is not enough information made public for alleged security related reasons to properly weigh a congressional or executive action. This may be one of those situations.

I certainly do not believe the decision to shut down a multi billion dollar operation that employed Americans as well as Foreign nationals was made frivolously or mainly as the result of hurt feelings.

We only know the basic outline of the story relating to the connection between Tim Tom and the Chinese government. We do not know the details.

Trump was a serial liar and internationally disdained buffoon his first term. What possible evidence have we seen to suggest it will be different the second time around? If anything, between his misplaced claims of vindication', his continuing clear cognitive decline, and his universally acknowledged vindictiveness, it should be obvious that this time around will be even worse. (Not that his supporters will ever be able to honestly acknowledge it.)

BW: Winning is neither "everything" or the " only thing". Only fascists and authoritarians think that way.

Decency, ethics, and doing the right thing, regardless of the outcome are all that matter in the end. When you die and must answer for your lies, your hypocrisy, your selfishness, and disdain for people who are different from you, it will not suffice to tell God, "But we won and that is all that matters".

Texas is #1. But let's not count Florida out of the race yet.

She had no business specially hiring and appointing her lover to prosecute a former POTUS. Especially one whom she politically opposed. That has to be the ultimate appearance of impropriety regardless of how meritorious the criminal charges.

A man who sought to lead in a moral Christian manner. He never stood a chance. RIP.

Why do MAGAts go so far out of their way way to give us another opportunity to laugh at them?

As Trump already proved once before, competence is not a requirement.

Many DA's offices in California will not touch potential charges of Shaken Baby Syndrome with a ten foot pole.

I feel sorry for the poor and in need of government assistance in America. Include those millions of them who voted for Trump. Americans should not take pleasure in the suffering of other Americans, even the incredibly stupid right wing hicks among us who will be among the hardest hit by Trump's proposed policies.

The West is the Best. Always will be.

As the saying goes, "Truth is always the first casualty of war".

Personally, I have no qualms with pubescents 14 years and older viewing pornography. Their bodies and brain functions are changing. And artificial age laws won't change it. Instead of clutching your pearls, try being a mature adult and sit down with your kids to explain whatever it is you think they need to know about internet porn.

Close your eyes, cover your ears and Keep telling yourself you won't be personally affected.

Well, I certainly have prospered under Bidenomics. I am financially much better off than I was four years ago. Thanks Joe.

This case had to be prosecuted even though, IMO, it had next zero chance of resulting in conviction. You can't just choke man to death publicly on the subway and not face charges. It would be an untenable precedent.

Trump doubling down on Hegseth sounds as much sense as me drawing for an inside straight last weekend. Conceivably possible, but a foolish use of limited resources. A high price to placate MAGAts.
