In 2016, Pete Hegseth said troops “won’t follow unlawful orders.”
In 2024, Pam Bondi said, “Military officers are required not to carry out unlawful orders.”
Now, they're singing a different tune to grovel to Donald Trump.

Prescription drug prices are a bunch of bullcrap.

With insurance, it's $225.

They’re clearly plugging this dude into an IV regularly and, if this were Biden, there would be demands for weekly hour long press conferences from his doctors on his health. But that’s not how authoritarianism works so stop asking questions already.
