What a stupid design. Someone show him what happened to the Moskva. It's going to take 10 years at least, the way Pentagon procurement works, to get to the point where actual construction starts. He'll be long dead by then.

Trump's "Freedom Games" are being compared to the "Hunger Games". But another comparison might be to "Death Race 2000". Trump might to meditate on how that movie ends.

They say history doesn't repeat it self, but it rhymes. America, I hear a poem: www.newyorker.com/culture/cult...
What Happens When a Bad-Tempered, Distractible Doofus Runs an Empire?
Donald Trump is reminiscent of Kaiser Wilhelm II, during whose reign the upper echelons of the German government began to unravel into a free-for-all.

Guarding the spices is a very important job.
Home. And my greatest nemesis, Le seigneur des Orangeys, was waiting for me “dans la maison de MeanCat.” He’s the worst. Also I’m glad he’s inside and warm and guarding the spices.

This evil is being done in our names to our fellow citizens and others. Miller, Noem and "Commander at Large" (a title w/o any legal authority) Bovino have to held accountable for these crimes.

I'm a boomer. It's fine. Trump really is the ultimate boomer- dodged Vietnam, made and lost a couple of fortunes while his employees suffered, was always demanding attention for dubious achievements-and the country is suffering for it.
To all the people offended that I used the term Boomer:

Ok boomer

Now that he's got his "participation trophy" can this wanna be king mofo finally ride out of town to never bother us again?

slate.com/news-and-pol... That's nice, he's not going to fire him though. Trump thinks he's now an elected king & as long as Hegseth tells him he is then his job is secure. Kings don't like to admit errors since to do so reduces their self-image.
If Trump Doesn’t Fire Pete Hegseth Now, It’s Going to Send a Message Heard Round the World
What Trump does now could affect civilian–military relations for decades to come.

Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?

TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202... Trump has done many bad things, but putting Baby Bobby in charge of the nation's health is one of the worst. He's a charlatan with immense power.

Fucking astronaut who was also a test pilot _and_ a combat pilot. WTF did the self-labeled "Secretary of War" do during the war?
good work guys you picked a fight in which Dems can stand up out of their permanent defensive crouch and go “our guy is a fucking astronaut and you’re an alcoholic tv host”
Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

He's our Lysenko, and will likely do as much damage.
I’ve been waiting for an article like this for some time, and while it’s not what I was hoping for — which, on reflection, would be kind of a supervillain’s monologue, which don’t actually happen — it may be the best we’ll ever get. Gift link:
