Hegseth definitely has not read Halsey’s Typhoon. Most likely he doesn’t read at all…

We’ve created a country where wealth is celebrated, but the use of that wealth for public good is not and is often viewed negatively as socialism. We need to change the narrative…

Any construction that large will take more than 5 years (more likely 6-7). Trump may think he can forgo a permit & inspection process, but any reliable construction company is going to want those to avoid later liability. Add to that Trump’s age & health and he’ll never see the completed project…

At one time I thought eventually Trump would reach a point where republicans in congress would be forced to stop him. After reading this article I’ve realized that all the republicans have surrendered to the all powerful Trump and his vast intellect and wisdom. His removal will require a revolution.

I think a large part of society is hair triggered to go to extremes on issues. On the right it’s talking heads making any small issue into a mountain (Jade Helm, etc.) On the left it’s a plethora of actors who exaggerate any issue they think deserves far more attention than it’s currently getting…

How about keep it and make it Trump’s prison. One wall can be soundproof glass so all visItors can see, but not hear him. It would drive him bonkers being so close to power and not having a voice…

Can you imagine how WWII had come out if Trump had been President?

Trump’s not just underwater, he’s scuba-diving with the Titanic.

It’s almost like someone could have predicted this. How come no one warned us? (Deep sarcasm)…
