Like, the US is very publicly losing a war of choice that rocked the global economy and is going to cost his party a massive election loss. And the SecDef’s priority is getting a bunch of subordinates together to lecture about how important lifting weights and tucking in your shirt is. Pathological!

Again, much of Pete Hegseth’s deal is the only skill his job demanded for a long time was keeping a trim figure to be conventionally pretty for stay-at-home moms watching daytime tv. His job was “be pretty,” but he knows that’s a girl job, so he’s deeply insecure and is trying to make it a boy job.

Again, there is clear evidence a data center moratorium would peel far more votes away from the GOP than the 10-15 (not thousand, literally 10-15 total) who might switch over this same crowd’s demand to betray queer people. It’s malpractice that the party won’t ditch these professional losers.

This is a real problem among professional and especially elected Democrats. Stop with the curated 5-paragraph erudite and muted "outrage" public statements, and deadpan polite objections to violence and bigotry, when the rest of us are rightly enraged.

Pictures of the Ukrainian leader holding the baby pit bull with a symbolic name have proved a truth universally known in politics: If you want to get noticed, get a puppy.
