I could only imagine what he would do with other languages considering how he mangles English. But it would be good for him to have a hobby besides golf and eating.

Yeah, he is not only stupid but he is aggressive, which is worrisome. He is ready for a fist fight at every turn. Hopefully he will spend some time trying to clean up how things look, never citing Trump and blaming everything on Noem, and he wont be able to do much else before midterms. But no...

These people should not be able to just retire. They should have to explain themselves outside of the gaze of Trump.

Not if you are "from away." Just my experience. Its beautiful but hard to make friends or become part of a community. Worse for ppl of color, or so I've been told by my only friend there, a transplant and a person of color.

This is what happens when you have no self control. I don't think that he knows why he is self destructing, but it seems to happen to some psychopaths when they get older.

WHAT? Its coming from the soldier complaint line!! Soldiers are complaining that their commanders are saying this.

Hegseth makes me want to vomit! He is so unskilled that he should not be allowed to talk on television. Where does he think that the civilians are? In caves? Where are they hiding as the main cities, which might help Iran normalize, are crushed? There must be many dead there. More than we know now.

Coward. They don't want to have to answer for what they have done...or not done, as the case may be. They slink off into retirement (he is 72) and never have to be challenged. Well, when he comes back home, I hope that his neighbors will let him know how they feel. Peacefully.

Maybe he plans to be an Independent so that he can't vote in the primaries....(depending on Calif state law, I guess.)

There is always the Proud Boys. Is the Tea Party still around? They have a hat ready for him. As long as he stops voting, its all good. Losing James Woods marks the end times for Republicans, for sure...heh heh. There will not be a Trump to capitulate to. What will he do then?

Legacy media is failing democracy. Six years ago, I decided to do something about it. I started Democracy Docket from scratch.

Today it has 400,000+ subscribers. But to protect democracy, it needs to grow. Subscribe now: bit.ly/4qmEiFz

...and then he says it out loud!! He cant stop telling everyone everything. Tis may be dementia but I remember that he has always been this way. On the Apprentice (which outtakes are being held by the fundamentalist producer) he apparently let fly with whatever racist, misogynist thing...

What is really fabulous is the slide show of pics of Noem cosplaying at the bottom. The humiliation of the husband is clear, but she should be really humiliated by those pictures. I see memes growing there.

The NY Post is a right wing rag, but I have to appreciate their coverage of this. Note that they only would do this because Trump got tired of her cosplaying and jet buying. They only print what Trump will put up with. That guy does not look happy. Cuck! Ha!

And it would only cost some number of days of this war for nothing.

LIES, LIES, LIES. These people cant open their mouths without lying. I believe that they have been compulsive liars since childhood and it feels good to them.

It is a matter of decency, but also of law. We don't allow conditions to be like this in our worst super max prison holding serial killers. The people responsible for this need to know that we will hold them accountable. They cannot hide. Start with Noem and it may send a message.

And this is why we are where we are. Add SCOTUS, but really Congress should be doing its job and should be held accountable for this with more than losing their jobs. At the very least, they should not be hirable in the real world after they "retire".

Fucking cowards. I wonder how the Senators feel now, after having decided to do nothing about this war. Then many of the slink off into obscurity and a high paying job with a lawfirm or similar. I just hope that they take Fetterman with them. They broke it and we will have to fix it for decades.

How long do electric vehicle batteries actually last? When the modern electric vehicle was still in its infancy, drivers worried that vehicles would need expensive battery replacements within a few years. But battery lifespans are exceeding expectations.

This is worse when you consider that Trump smells and the guy is probably trying to get away from him....and is operating under threat anyway. No one knows who Trump is going to take offense at and suddenly bomb. But also...the smell....Let the man go!

Apparently Trump & Hegseth thought they could snap their fingers/post on social media & DoD would replace Anthropic with OpenAI & um Grok instantly.🫠

But once the DoD is no longer using Anthropic, I’d expect Trump & Hegseth to (self-incriminatingly) blame war crimes on them bsky.app/profile/dear...
