They don't consider immigrants as full people either, they are "less than".

Hegseth got the job not because of his clown antics on Fox News but because during the first term he made it his personal crusade to get Trump to pardon war criminals who had murdered civilians and desecrated corpses. That’s who he is and it’s what Trump hired him to be.

For being a guy hung up on fighting jihadists, Hegseth really doesn't have a clue how actual jihadists think. This is the greatest gift he could give him.

Donald Trump is an absolutely vile racist. Trump: “The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!”

Trump: The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!
If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help — and leave the rest to us! President
DONALD J. TRUMP

fwiw if you want to make a strategic case for congressional democrats trying to impeach trump if they take majorities, i think the first step is impeaching hegseth, the bar is lower and the likelihood of success is probably much higher

Personally if my brand was “defender of men and traditional values,” I would actually stay away from the idea that if a woman goes to hang out with a group of men it’s absolutely normal and expected to have a ketamine gangbang and she’s stupid to think otherwise

On here this is a preaching to the choir thing to say, but the turn against Indian immigrants is the sharpest possible example of ‘real debate, fake debate’ wrt heritability of IQ. 90% of the guys Just Following The Science are now waxing rhapsodically about white indigenous ways of knowing.

walk me through the logic here, Republican staffer

The size and targets of the potential strikes—and whether the administration will ultimately proceed—are still being debated. The plans are being developed by U.S. Central Command, which is coordinating the war effort, a U.S. official told us. Even the plans’ advocates acknowledge that limited strikes would not, by themselves, bring Iran to the negotiating table, restore safe travel through the Strait of Hormuz, or lower gas prices before Election Day. But those in favor believe that further action after months of uneasy peace could allow Trump to demonstrate strength and potentially declare some sort of victory, giving Republicans much-needed momentum heading into the election. “It would make the president look like he got a win and that gas prices would start going down,” a Republican familiar with the deliberations told us after being granted anonymity to discuss sensitive matters. A limited operation could be followed up by more substantial military action after the midterms, when Trump has suggested that the conflict, which is now in its eighth month, could resume.

Perfect example though of how corrupting tariffs are. Every town & business becomes dependent on little tariff carve outs, meaning that buying influence with Senators becomes mandatory to stay in business. The tariff is the mother of trusts!!!

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

Still think the ONLY reason Brock Turner got in any trouble (limited though it was) was the 2 European students that came up upon him and it horrified them. One cried that Brock would treat an unconscious woman that way and was willing to testify. That is what decent men do.

A good article, but the GOP committing to defense of democracy won't happen. We must create disincentives for lawlessness and collaboration with fascists, and that means punishment. Either we impose consequences or we allow the GOP to keep making things worse as it has continually done since Nixon.

I love/loved CA, needed to downsize after husband passed, rural, 2 acres, too big a home, property & maintenance by myself. Selling & living closer to a CA city would have meant MORE debt for 2 bedroom w/no yard. Moving to SC (same concerns as Texas) near fam made downsizing profitable.
