    Trump has done enough adultery on his own, he doesn’t need even more help from his nominees.

        Depending on who Trump picks for Secretary of Concentration Camps, those sorts of posts might be pretty dangerous.

        Education is extremely important.

          Or just a reminder why I didn’t vote for him. It’s surprisingly simple. I will not tell my kids I voted for someone so morally bankrupt. Ironic, since he loves bankruptcies.

            TDS (noun): (1) Trump Derangement Syndrome. (2) A handy epithet used to dismiss claims that offend one's sensibilities without having to go to the bother of providing any arguments.

                    It’s notable that both he and Trump cheated on W1 with W2, and cheated on W2 with W3.

                    That seems to be a pretty exclusive club. Seems like to be W3 of such a guy has to come with a little resignation that you’re bound to be cheated on also. Perhaps even with W4 if the guy’s young enough

                      I think whether it’s Hegseth or not, the result will be the same. A radical reorganization of the command and officer corps in the military. The military will go back from DEI and become more of a merit based organization, and the #1 merit will be making the other team dead, dead, dead.

                        I don't know about that.

                        Do we want the Russians or Chinese to have more DEI than us?

                          So the question is: can we trust him? Obviously, his wives couldn't and they were right.

                          If he can break one oath, he can break another. That's just the kind of guy he is.

                              Actually, the question is whether there are people available who can do the job better than him.

                              If Trump's main prerequisite for picking him is because he thinks he'll be unquestionably loyal, then maybe his inability to remain faithful to his various wives is actually quite a big deal.

                                I think loyalty is a component. I also think the guy's view of what the military needs to be, plays a huge part. This is a guy with two bronze stars, so he's no perfumed prince. So, in that area, he's a true believer.

                                  Seems like that's true of a few of Trump's picks. I'd guess the levels of narcissism are higher than average in that little group.

                                    Yet, the narcissist just pulled off maybe the biggest comeback in American politics.

                                    Ever.

                                    So, there's something there. Maybe it's just the economy. Or maybe the country likes a fighter and is tired of the legacy media blowing smoke up their ass. Or feels like lawfare is unfair and unAmerican.

                                    And if his opposition doesn't get their head out their ass and figure out why the guy got elected, they may get a chance to live with the narcissists policies for the next decade.

                                      Ever.

                                      So, there's something there. Maybe it's just the economy. Or maybe the country likes a fighter and is tired of the legacy media blowing smoke up their ass. Or feels like lawfare is unfair and unAmerican.

                                      And if his opposition doesn't get their head out their ass and figure out why the guy got elected, they may get a chance to live with the narcissists policies for the next decade.

                                      @Jolly said in The Hegseth "incident.":

                                      Yet, the narcissist just pulled off maybe the biggest comeback in American politics.

                                      Ever.

                                      I'd argue this was the biggest comeback. His poll numbers were down, the media were criticizing him, yet he inspired pilots to go up and whoop some alien ass.

                                        Was the Trump campaign the biggest comeback ever? Or was it one of the biggest collapses by the Dems ever?

                                          Epic collapse, no argument. Bad candidate replaced by worse candidate.

                                          But...Has there ever been a candidate for POTUS that...

                                          1. Had been defeated in his reelection bid?
                                          2. That had been impeached twice?
                                          3. That had a Whitehouse coordinated lawfare campaign ran against him, starting when he left office?
                                          4. That was pilloried by a House "investigative" committee in Prime Time?
                                          5. That was outspent during the campaign 3:1?
                                          6. That had 90% of the media arraigned against him?

                                          You can one or two of those in other successful bids, but I don't think you can
                                          get a majority, let alone all.

                                          “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

                                          Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton
