Attorney, engineer, tinkerer.
Kegseth is like Subaru car salesman character Joe Isuzu, without the charm. The Dept of Defense, which includes the military, is the largest employer in the US and possibly the entire world, and this idiot is in charge of it.
Most of this “press conference” is this lunatic yelling at the media. This guy is so obsessed with his press coverage that he can’t even function.

This is the short-term, improper usage of our military by Herr Shitler in non-combat roles. Expect instances of non-consensual deploying of our military on non-federal land, an unconstitutional breach of state sovereignty. Soldiers are not trained to be peacekeepers; Kent State redux is inevitable
A debate over the choice of aircraft for deportations may seem trivial. But the choice of aircraft signifies other choices the administration is making. The most ominous: how it may seek to use the military in domestic matters. @markhertling.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/military-j...
Using Military Jets for Deportations Is an Ugly, Wasteful Spectacle
The intimidation is the point.

Anita Bryant has lost her mortal coil. Her trail of hate towards LBGT folks helped create the far right, self-righteous, hateful christofascist scum we have had ever since. She infamously referred to gays as "human garbage".

Finally, even assuming the Wuhan lab leak theory were true, this would have ocurred in 2019, during the first Trump admin. They would be responsible, they were in charge. Every accusation is an admission in Trump world

1/2 MAGA and its Murdoch-led firehose of BS are not only sore losers, but sore winners. Our intelligence community concluded in 2023 that the Wuhan lab leak theory of Covid was of "low confidence."

Trump has added another incompetent to his loserville advisory staff. The challenge will be how many times she can say 'yes' in one day, while also licking his boots and panic-searching laws and policy that she has zero experience in. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

I hope everyone is paying close attention to how the Hunter Biden pardon is being covered.

If you wondered why Trump and his cronies can betray America and commit ceaseless crimes for years without consequences but Democrats can't right obviously partisan wrongs, the current media reaction is why.

RIP, Schmuck Woolery. Long on looks and charm, short on brains. Lost his gig as the original Wheel of Fortune host, the plumbest sinecure ever, because of his unsolicited right-leaning babble. Spent the next 40 years "owning the libs" in a futile attempt to prove he was not the worst schmuck ever
