Cotton probably wants to be Secretary of Defense and he knows that Hegseth is too mistake-prone to be there for long. That would explain why he has to say stupid stuff like this in order to color the trumpy litmus strip the right color.

Normally someone else puts the medal around your neck. Tradition that goes back to antiquity. "But hey, you grab that bitch yourself, Mr President! That's yours! You won that!"

Way beyond parody and without class.

They would have had to refuel dozens of times to get to Miami, but They could have done that pretty easily with blown out eardrums, burned skin and broken bones. . .isn't that right Senator Cotton?

"Papery Bricks of Goodness." Where did I read that? It's not my phrase but one that crosses my mind regularly. Sorry I can't attribute it properly.

Very cool. I put my hand on top of the fence one time while mowing the grass with a push mower only to find something large and furry already there. Vincentia, NSW

Big spiders. Americans see those and they instantly want to wrap themselves tightly in blankets and make babies. I've lived in Australia and the USA and I know this for a fact. We're going to have to import all the Australian spiders into the USA.

Seriously - no one knows.

They think those two (reasonable) things are communist and democrat plots.
You'd have to go to the last person he talked to about birthrates in the USA to figure out what he was referring to and who put an idea about Australia into his head.

He sounds like he had a couple cocktails for lunch and maybe something in the afternoon as well. Slurring, not completing multi-syllable words. Good job putting that guy on tv, Fox NotNews.

Just a few Lockheed Martin cost overruns for the original specs of "stronger, faster, smarter, better than before." Nothing as bad as the F-35 program, though.

Even with the "KEI baggage" Franklin would be a better SecDef than Pete Hegseth.

I believe that this story is going to keep blowing up and partially obscure the Epstein files story.

I'm thinking that it may get bigger. I'm surprised that the NY Times is still relatively mute on the boat bombing story, but it may go higher and higher if people start talking and fingers start pointing.

Dunno. You have to be incredibly precise, centered, focused, skilled, and sensible to have the kind of career he had and then get selected for the astronaut program. I'll bet there's near zero chance he makes a mistake in public speaking.

Kelly is recognizable to me. The trump administration is not. That's everything I know or want to know about DC politics.

I remember working in a large office environment (think cubicle farm) in the 1980s and it was considered bad form to cook either fish in the microwave, or the 10-12 minute baked potatoes. Rules were made, signs were posted, restrictions placed. . . but microwave chaos and discontent still occurred.

Sorry. I remember when I retired from the service and started earning my keep as a self-employed woodworker and one day I couldn't see the line I was cutting. Not fun.
