Literally everyone? These "confirmation hearings" are a circus. Not *one* question about how Pete Hegseth is going to actually perform the duties he's nominated for, just a bunch of gotchas meant for Tik Tok virality.

Boomer dorks trying to go head to head with Hegseth (who has been great) is funny and all, but I just wonder how we could be better spending our time.

I don't know, they've been talking about this for years, and the Vatican reached out to ask the US to do this in return for political/religious prisoners be freed.

I kinda, sorta understand why the Florida Cuban democrats are crapping the bed over this, this is their 'thing,' but at the same time, I want to tell them the other 49 states (and Greenland) thinks lifting sanctions and improving relations may actually be a good thing.

I dunno man. Things were going hunky dory with China for a bit, then they released a plague and killed a fuck load of people.

Never trust a communist.

A contractor embedded in one of the Pentagon’s highest offices has been terminated from his firm, Booz Allen Hamilton, after boasting to an undercover journalist that he worked with retired generals to try to stop Donald Trump, who he viewed as a “sociopathic narcissist,” from winning the presidency.

Wow. This should be a much bigger story than it is.

“Over most of the year, since this spring, I was working with these retired generals, retired ambassadors, in this organization, this nonprofit called National Security Leaders for America. And what we were doing was we were trying to explain to the American people the national security consequences of another Trump presidency” and “defeat Donald Trump,” he said.

He said he ghost-wrote more than 100 anti-Trump op-eds for the retired generals. ”I was literally working day and night, nonstop. So ultimately when he won I was really sad, really depressed, not only in terms of mission failure but of course i was hoping to advance my career. Had [Harris] won I would have gotten a pretty big job,” he said.

Mannina also disparaged Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, and said he was continuing to work with retired generals to restrict Trump’s actions as president. “I’m having a meeting in fact tomorrow about it,” he said.

BuT THe DEeP StATE IZZNT REalZ!!!!


But hey, maybe he was lying. Who knows.

I'm pissing my pants at how big their balls are to say "Florida Democrats fear Biden's move gives Trump a chance to frame their party as beholden to socialists."

Here is a pretty obvious fucking news flash...
...their party is beholden to socialists.

That's one of many reasons they lost so badly in the last election.
