one of the disqualifying things about this is that hegseth writes this garbage as if he’s the first person in history to have ever considered these issues
“Should we follow the Geneva Conventions?” Pete Hegseth asked in 2024.

This thread is a horror, and while generative "A.i." is not entirely to blame, it's absolutely part of the problem and should be entirely abolished from education.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

If this thing does indeed go up and dwarf the residence, I would 100% believe he’s going to knock down the residence and the west wing.
Even the architect Trump hired to build his massive addition to the White House objects to the president's vision. The two have argued about the size of the 90,000-sq-foot project that would dwarf the mansion. @jonathanreports.bsky.social @ddiamond.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump wants a bigger White House ballroom. His architect disagrees.
The president and James McCrery had argued in recent weeks over the project’s size, with Trump pushing him to expand the ballroom.
