Translation: Pete may well go down for this. But I’m not going with him.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?

Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

Big donors pay for many of those contracts at public unis
I looked into NHL, NBA, MLB and NFL coaches and somehow college football coaches have received the biggest buyouts when they are fired.

Most of the biggest buyouts have come from public universities which often claim to be “strapped for cash” and cut faculty and grad student lines.

But you’ll go to war in Venezuela over the drug trade?
Reporter: You have made so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the US—

Trump: Right

Reporter: Can you explain why you would pardon a notorious drug trafficker?

Trump: If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president

Hegseth retired from the US Army as a major (O-4) in 2024.
Mark Kelly retired from the US Navy with the rank of captain (0-6), two levels higher than an Army major, and one level below rear admiral, lower half.
The "Captain" is a nice touch on the petty side.

Did Hegseth ever get beyond a grunt? Did he stand out at all in his unit or was he just another face no one noticed?

Rumors are circulating...and reported on MSNOW that Pete Hegseth has been pulled OUT of any negotiations regarding Ukraine.

He is unprofessional, unqualified...and frankly...a laughing stock.

I would not be at all surprised. Nor would I be surprised if he was fired...eventually.

You?

Just like Trump’s Concept of the Executive branch
Turns out the deal Trump bragged about, the one where China would buy 12 million metric tons of US soybeans by year end, was never an actual deal.

It was a “concept” of a deal.
