Justice Department announces a $1.7B fund to compensate Trump allies in a

deal to drop IRS suit\

Hegseth campaigned in Kentucky for Ed Gallrein, a former Navy SEAL

who is trying to unseat Rep. Thomas Massie, the GOP’s harshest critic

of the Iran war — and of Trump. The Defense [War] secretary’s remarks

— which came after he awarded medals to service members at nearby

Fort Campbell — were unusual for the civilian head of the military,

who has traditionally avoided overt political posturing. And it’s

the latest norm-busting move from a Pentagon leader who has

sought to bring religion into the department, review the role of women

in combat and eradicate diversity efforts

in the military.

Massie is guilty of “too much grandstanding, too few great votes, years of

acting like being difficult is the same thing as being courageous; it’s not,”

Hegseth said, while delivering his usual talking points about the perils of

“dudes in dresses” and “woke” policies in the military.

But Hegseth was in the National Guard, which apparently was enough for

Trump, who escaped military service himself altogether (remember those

pesky "bone spurs'?) and appointed Hegseth Secretary of War. So can we just

get rid of

this guy? He authorizedthe killing of surrendering Caribbean boaters. Yet

Trump still stands by him, so now let's get rid of them both!

American voters, you made a mistake by electing Trump. Now we all need to

find a remedy ASAP. Two and half years is just too long to wait. Think of all

the damage he and Hegseth could still do. With Kamala, none of this would

have ever happened.

Kamala is not stupid!

Trump says he's called off attacks on Iran to give the talks more time. Who started this war

to begin with and do we even remember why? Wasn't it at Netanyahu's urging to postpone

his corruption trial? Now his trial has been postponed indefinitely, so let's get back to status quo ante.

Time to end this problematic post and see if we can do better next time.
