There used to be two governing parties. Reagan changed the GOP motto to "Every man for himself, and the Devil take the hindmost." Now Trump has changed the Republican motto to "Bow down to your masters."

When Hegseth summoned all the top generals and harangued them about masculinity and the warrior ethos, one good thing happened: they all despise him. They will not follow him into a coup.

To "Ben Terris of New York Magazine, Trump agreed that Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) was right to say that he was putting his name on things now because nobody else will when he’s gone. "That's true," Trump told Terris. "Nobody will do it once I'm gone. When I leave here, nobody will." HCR

Hegseth firing all the women and non-white men has turned the military into an affirmative action program for white men. That doesn't mean these men aren't qualified -- we have a very professional military. But it does mean that he is insisting on sex- and race-based selection - inverse DEI.

Agreed. I think the Ukraine war is a rehearsal of World War III, as the Spanish Civil War was a rehearsal of World War II. We will need Ukraine's expertise on our side. (And work hard to reclaim the United States for the Allies in time.)
