The only reason an average person actually knows Pete Hegseth's name now is just because he's a huge federal-level fuckup by any reasonable metric.
I wonder how that must feel.

If they had read some of the books before banning them, maybe they’d have a better understanding of what tariffs really are.

I have had maybe two encounters with C in my career and he is EXACTLY as he appears. He is also the most naturally funny person the world has even seen. Mark Twain would say the same.

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago.
In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists.
Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

Today is January 6th and no one is watching the Capitol be plundered, feces being smeared on the walls, and police officers being stabbed with American flags.
Why? Because one side believes in democracy no matter what, and the other side only believes in it only when they win.
