Any truth to the rumor that hegseth is hiring Jack Daniels and John Walker to be his top assistants at the DoD?

Hegseth will not increase our military effectiveness. This is like turning over the coaching of the Buffalo Bills to your alcoholic and perpetually drunk uncle who once played high school football and who's sure he will do a better job than McDermott. We can all predict how it's going to turn out.

How many of you have heard of Henry George? George was arguably once the most famous and influential economic writer in the world. His 1879 book Progress and Poverty, which explains the underlying causes of poverty, sold over three million copies and launched the progressive era.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Elections need consequences:

This would mean standing back and letting him end the DOE, the ACA, round up undocumented immigrants and place them in camps, impose tariffs, etc.

Thoughts?

So, resistance needs to be strategic.

Authorization moves need to be countered and maybe international issues (NATO and Ukraine), but I'm thinking that there shouldn't be a lot of resistance to much of his domestic policy? 2/3

I have been thinking about this a lot, but still haven't gotten real clarity on where I stand, but:
trump supporters need to feel the consequences of their decision.

I don't worry that bluesky will become liberal echo chamber. There are plenty of good critical thinking people here who can see all sides of an issue and play devil's advocate. Plus, it can be done without nastiness; thus making it more productive.
