Inquisitive, kind, dog-loving, amateur thespian who just retired after a 41 year career in the realm of math/physics/software engineering. I'm a freethinker where logic and evidence, not dogma, is the foundation of what I accept as true.
I worked for the DOD under 14 different SECDEFs, all I considered serious adults who respected the military and the Constitution. When Hegseth was confirmed I decided to retire ASAP. While I didn't expect war crimes in only 9 months, I knew the DOD was going to suffer because of him.

1 arrested for assault, a male 70 yr-old Maga supporter, in little Port Angeles, WA. The guy yelled in the faces of peaceful No-Kings protesters, broke a sign, got into a scuffle, and ended up getting pepper sprayed, and then arrested.
No other arrests.

EVERYONE? Could you be a little more specific on how "I" can control the price of oil? Because if I have that superpower, I'll definitely use it.

How many decades has Netanyahu been lying and trying to manipulate the US into war with Iran?

Netanyahu doesn't want peace. War is the only thing keeping him in power.

We all know what "preemptive strike" means. We watched the start of the US-Iraq war over nonexistent WMDs.
How many $Trillions did it cost and how many people did it kill?

Dear Josh, I believe that you have "no idea." In fact, there's probably a ton of things in the realms of science, medicine, law, political science, and many other fields that you don't understand. Fortunately, we have people who do understand, and in this case, they're called judges.

Installing Signal on government devices was wrong. Adding a reporter to a conversation was incompetence. Sending classified information on it (not even knowing who all was on the chat) is grounds for losing your clearance. Hegseth must go.

Let me get this straight. We're in a trade war with China and Trump is simultaneously making it easier for China to surpass the US in AI? And to top it off, DOGE gutted the very agency responsible for preventing the export of advanced US tech that can be used against us in a war?

Elon, Jr., and Donald really thought this one through. Not only do they save money on wages, but it will help cull the herd of elderly people saving even more money that will be used to justify tax cuts for the oligarchs.

Focus on "clean water and reducing environmental toxins"? So the HHS is turning into the EPA?

Trump is a crappy negotiator. China knows his support within the US is declining. They also know he can't be trusted to stick with any agreements. He has no credibility.
