Im not sure which will end up being funnier:
1) Hegseth found a JAG willing to advise that they could bring charges against Kelly or
2) Hegseth half-remembered retired officers are subject to the UCMJ and decided to blast away on his own initiative.
1, they lose in court. 2, they never get there.

Beloved military officers, allow me to tell you all about the beauty of jury nullification.
The Trump administration is abusing the military justice system to target its political opponents. A despicable new low for a group that strives everyday to find the moral bottom.

TIL in 1987, an English driver beat his Brazilian teammate at the British Grand Prix by basically mashing the turbo button for 6 straight laps. F1 used to be crazy.

There was civilization in the Americas before the settlers arrived. The other work being performed here is to erase that and present settlement as the arrival of civilization instead of the annihilation of another
Neither Trump, nor half of his cabinet have “ancestors” who were in North America before the revolution. I’d guess that less than half of current US citizens do. “Your ancestors” is doing a lot of implicitly white Christian nationalist work here.

As far as I can tell, Martha never served, making her lecturing Crow on this especially laughable.
Fox News's Martha MacCallum makes a case for following illegal orders: "If you are in the US military, you sign up, you carry out the mission that is assigned to you. The other option is to not join the military or to leave if you feel you can't carry out an order. But the command is integral."

We are less than five years from an animated remake of a live action remake of an original animated film.
We are approaching a singularity where an animated film and its live action remake release in the same year.

Giving people money does not make them an informed consumer.
Also, one of the things I like about TRICARE, aside from its cost, is not having to become an expert on medical insurance.

Cassidy: "The president is proposing that we take the $26b that would be going to insurance companies if we just do an extension and give it directly to the American people in which 100% of the money is used for them to purchase healthcare on their own terms. That makes them an informed consumer."

Women's problem is not meeting the same standards as men. We do that every day, and often exceed expectations.
But if you're expected to fuck Larry Summers to get ahead, it's no surprise that women might fall behind men, who are not expected to do this.

There are certain jobs in adulthood where you're not be able to have extra time and scores should reflect that when testing for those qualifications. However when we are talking about 8 year olds learning to read and do math, you give them accommodations.
