I don't disagree that the US military is top heavy, but for some reason I doubt the selection criteria for who stays and who goes won't just be based on who will do what Trump wants

Trump idiots might as well demand Trump declare war on China if and when store shelves clear and it must be to them because China is trying to get by without eating the tariffs.

The Republicans in Congress, who aren't idiots, if there is possibly enough of them, ought to pass a bill repealing Trump's tariff hikes and roll them back to where they were. Or better just restart them at ZERO. If Republicans allow China tariffs to continue, then by the end of summer it's going to get pretty bad out there from empty store shelves and very high prices on what's left, perhaps bad enough to cause civil war. E-Bay might boom.

This is what happens when you make a former reality show (MTVs "The Real World") cast member Secretary of Transportation.

Which happens when you elect a former reality show cast member President.

Trump: "President Obama -- and if he wanted help I'd give him help because I'm a really good builder -- he's building his library in Chicago, and it's a disaster. And he said something to the effect of 'I only want DEI. I only want woke.' He wants woke people to build it. Well, he's got woke people ... he didn't use good, hard, tough, mean construction workers."

Donald Trump fired Doug Emhoff and other Biden appointees from the Holocaust Museum board and replaced them with a former cast member of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, a longtime Mar-a-Lago member, and Steve Witkoff’s son. It’s unprecedented, petty, and vindictive. Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized.

I'm old enough to remember when the GOP supported a Free Market... rejecting a merger because the govt doesn't agree with an HR policy on their hiring practices is complete and under BS and way outside the scope of Free Market


Come on GOP..do better and protect and stand up for your OWN principles
