President Trump: Making America Great Again...

[Northwestcoug]

I see that McConnel was the lone republican who took seriously the risk RFK Jr. poses to the US and epidemics. It took a polio survivor to understand that constant vigilance is needed to keep preventable infectious diseases at bay. I can't do much better than this succinct reply:

“Individuals, parents, and families have a right to push for a healthier nation and demand the best possible scientific guidance on preventing and treating illness,” it read in part. “But a record of trafficking in dangerous conspiracy theories and eroding trust in public health institutions does not entitle Mr. Kennedy to lead these important efforts.”

The senator said he could not “condone the re-litigation of proven cures.”

Even Cassidy, a pediatric gastroenterologist for crying out loud, voted for him. So new respect for the senator from Kentucky, although I wonder if he regrets not whipping up GOP votes, or at least voting himself for impeachment when he had the chance.

We are about to see how much the constant anti-vax/anti-science minority of the nation can erase two hundred years of vaccine benefits. There may be a bright side; if more Americans die from preventable illnesses they won't live to an age where they have to worry about chronic illness!

Too little, too late turtleman.

Oh brother.

Russia can't even control it's own pond (the Black Sea). They ran away because Ukraine kept sinking their ships.

This guy is totally unprepared for the world stage and for working under Trump. Trump is the SecDef, the AG, the SecState, etc. Trump will decide. No chance for real leadership.

This administration is a collective bitch for Russia. Make Russia great again!

Maga is going to take us right over a cliff economically as well as in national security. Thanks morons.

I am cautiously optimistic that you are correct.

lol morbid positivity.

Trump's been selling out before anyone was buying. That's who he is. We are paralyzed by normalizing things we shouldn't and the state of how people get their media intake has rendered us unable to unify around anything.


The Russians couldn't be happier with their stooge Trump. You know our national security apparatus is already riddled, I can't imagine how problematic it is now with people like Tulsi leading the ship and Trump saber rattling with what are considered 1st tier allies (Canada and Denmark).

What a joke of a nomination.

Sorry dopey, you're not on the Hannity Show anymore. This is so depressing.

REPORTER: So just to be clear—you think values don’t matter in war?

HEGSETH: Look, values are great, but you can’t exactly fight off the left with values.

REPORTER: Tell that to the French Resistance, who fought Nazis with nothing but belief before they had weapons. Or to Poland, where underground fighters kept their nation alive despite being occupied by the world’s biggest armies.

HEGSETH: I’m just saying, when it comes down to it, strength wins, not ideals.

REPORTER: Then explain how the U.S. lost in Vietnam, why the Soviets collapsed after Afghanistan, or how Afghanistan itself fought off three empires. Firepower alone doesn’t mean victory—ask Russia, stuck in Ukraine despite superior weapons.

HEGSETH: Well, military power still matters more than words.

REPORTER: And yet, words—values—are why people choose to fight in the first place. Ukraine didn't stand because of weapons; they stood because they refused to be ruled.

HEGSETH: So you’re saying values win wars?

REPORTER: I’m saying values make armies fight harder, longer, and with more purpose—without them, all the firepower in the world means nothing. Just ask the British Empire, the Soviets, or, soon enough, Putin.

This dumbass is standing on a stage at NATO, which was built around soft power, and loudly proclaims that soft power doesn't mean anything. Burn it all down.

Did that exchange really happen? If so, that’s amazing and amazingly bad for Hegseth.

That rhetoric around hard power is quite fascistic. "Might makes right." Besides it being an awful perspective, nations led by strongmen are shitty ones.

[frank ryan]

Oh how cute, Hegseth has invited Jack Posobiec to accompany him on an overseas trip. Posobiec was one of the main people involved in the "Unite the Right," in Charlottesville, VA in 16. Posobiec is openly alt-right and comfortable in the company of Neo Nazis and anti-Semites. He wrote the book, "Un-Humans," which outlines the MAGA philosophy for demonizing their ideological enemies, liberals. It advocates for bullying doxxing, paper terrorism with lawsuits etc.

These are gross people.
