Hegseth: "Maximum lethality -- not tepid legality. Violent effect, not politically correct. We're gonna raise up warriors. Not just defenders."

How is this not a war crime? How this not a green light for Iran to target Israeli or U.S. civilian scientists in return?

Was looking at the bio of one of the appointees at the Pentagon and he has like 2 years of policy experience when it hit me: Hegseth is going to surround himself with people who have around the same level of experience that he does. The Uniformed personnel are going to have a helluva time.

Trump, Vance, Hegseth, and Combs all said they were briefed on the collision, so they all knew about this internal FAA report when they went on TV to blame minorities for the crash.

Ah the chaos of an early Trump presidency, I’m actually glad to see it. I wrongly assumed Project 2025 meant they knew what they were doing.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

Was not sure where that was going at the start but Sen Hassan brought home so very clearly: no matter what RFK Jr believes, if Trump asks him to do something he’ll do it.

Reinstating service members who were discharged from the military for refusing to comply with a vaccine mandate (they are required to have several vaccines varying on the location). Is such a bad idea. If they can’t follow the rules they should not be in the military. That’s not how it works!

Not accurate. Colombia accepts many deportation flights. Columbia objected to deportees arriving in U.S. military flights in chains. This was resolved by having Colombia’s demands met.
The United States and Colombia averted a trade war, for now, after the White House said late Sunday that Bogotá agreed to accept deportation flights from the United States.
Trump backs off trade threats after Colombia agrees to deportation flights
The nations spent much of the day in a tense standoff, with the U.S. president threatening tariffs and visa restrictions after Colombia turned away two deportation flights.

It’s absolute bs excuse but people claiming treatment is experimental or has side effects and that’s why the state should step in, that’s medicine! There are so many experimental studies out there that are left to the FDA to regulate. Why is this any different?
I dunno David, showing sympathy for a group usually includes opposing state efforts to ban the healthcare that they need.

Guys, I know a lot of you were bummed about the election.

Jeff Bezos says he loves Donald Trump's hatred of regulations. He's "optimistic" about Trump 2.0.
What about Trump's whole media-is-the-enemy thing?
"I am going to try to talk him out of that idea."
