A kid from the 50’s/60’s and a lot wiser now. Trying to understand how nearly half of Americans can find favor in the Orange Man. Meanwhile, I’m hopeful that we keep our democracy and survive the next 4 years.

Dear Troops: Please Don’t Go to Jail for Pete Hegseth
In his second term, Trump has gone from pardoning war criminals to making war crimes official policy.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is unfit to serve.
He leaked classified information on Signal, potentially putting military pilots at risk. He then refused to cooperate with the IG.
He lied about a war crime, and then threw Admiral Bradley under the bus.
Hegseth must resign.

BREAKING NEWS: Pentagon IG says of Hegseth's use of Signal, "The information could have imperiled American troops." If Hegseth values our troops as much as he says he does, he should resign and allow someone more experienced to lead the Department of Defense.

Lmao. Hegseth. Decency 😂
Well, an independent investigation now confirms it: Hegseth endangered the lives of American pilots during Signalgate.
Our servicemembers deserve leaders who never put them at unnecessary risk. If Hegseth had a shred of decency, he’d resign.

Secretary Pete Hegseth is unfit. Sending classified military information in an unprotected Signal group chat put our servicemembers in grave danger.
His regular and egregious violations are a slap in the face to the Armed Forces and he must resign immediately.

I sent the President a message via the White House.gov site, calling him out for the video where he dumps crap over the No Kings protesters; called him out for his hate ad cruelty and more. I got a canned response that had NOTHING to do with my note and was a long diatribe about Charlie Kirk. WTF?

So far, the only thing of note in this pathetic Pam Bondi judiciary hearing is that she has absolutely no fear of ever being held accountable for lying under oath to the Senate and the American people, or doing whatever is necessary to protect Trump and his rich pedophile friends.

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous.
It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy."
Because that's not how America works.

I remember when you were on SNL. They weren't exactly complimentary toward you. IMHO, the whole problem with trump and other Republicans, is that they have no sense of humor.

Old enough to remember when SNL went after a teenage Chelsea Clinton, which rightly outraged her parents. And yet, neither of them demanded that the show be canceled.
