Blue dot in an ocean of red (east Tennessee, which I love). Navy vet (USS Mitscher DDG-57). Software engineer by day, part-time gamer by night. Race car owner and mediocre golfer on the weekends.
Is this one of the "very fine people" that Trump often praises?

In a democracy, yeah. In this... oligarchy/kleptocracy then I'm forced to look around and disagree.

So the hot take of the year happened on the first day of the new admin. Congrats @crooked.com on not even having to try to beat this one.

Because elections no longer matter. He bought his way in, which is how it will be from now on.

The idea that Musk/Zuck are NOT undermining democracy is a seriously hot take. CC: @crooked.com

As one of the "other" vets I can tell you that for the past 8 years I've been dealing with my brothers and sisters who voted for the Bone Spurs mock me, sneer at me, and outright hate me for not being a Trumpet.

So yeah, this vet will be eating a bowl of Schadenfreude soup as we lose it all.

Just for the sake of accuracy, this all happens in the Senate.

Your statement is still perfectly valid, just...making sure the context is accurate.

"Could have", but won't. The GOP only does what it's told to by their handlers. The fix is in.

How convenient.

Chad Smith somehow nails it every time because he's awesome.

Trick question. They're all the goodest boys.

Oh I've fallen down that rabbit hole before, and it is glorious!

Well, that's good to know. Since I'm Gen X, it goes without saying that at some point in my childhood I'd say I was going to grow up to be a marine biologist.
