Agree! Hegseth slamed DEI as promoting unqualified ppl, which now appears to mean blacks and women, only for their race and gender. Yet, Hegseth is supremely unqualified. Now Tillis is saying he couldn't have known that an incompetent, unqualified person wouldn't be up for the job? I call bullshit.

Bad look to criticize someone that is a very generous philanthropist. Doesn't take anything away from what a wonderful person Dolly Parton was. I guarantee you Dolly inspired Swift to also give back to the community. $2 Million of Taylor's donations went to Dolly's Imagination Library.

All I see is POTUS bannign American media and not Chinese media. And how are they a secrity threat if they are monitored by staff. Are they sneaking off seeing things they shouldn't? They're simply reporting on what they hear directly from the President and others in the WH. Buillshit argument.

He's even using it to justify being allowed to build his stupid Arch near DC. Not sure exactly how gun turrets in the Arch actually protects Americans, but that is how he is saying his vanity building projects shouldn't be prohibited from being built. Just add guns and call it national security.

Trump has gone to the "national secrity" justification for everything now. It increases the likelihood of capitulation from the sympathetic authoritarians in the Supreme Court.

OMFG, he is first politiican to characterize Adam Smith correctly. There are no markets w/o morals. Smith wrote Theory of Moral Sentiments when he wrote Wealth of Nations; he assumed owners of capital would care about their workers, act in both interests, as well as the nation's interest. THANK YOU!

This should chill everyone. Even other conservatives will be targeted by this cabal, if they aren't sufficiently ideological or promoting the "right" ideology. Goebbles would be proud. US should also not be using taxpayer money for partisan activities.

The CNN journalist was doing everything he could to whitewash the horrible Joni Earnst-inspired "people die" attitude of the GOP. That she is proud/supports/happy that her parents died when she was 11 and 12 is not an endorsement for any kind of sane healthcare policy.

And yet he said nothing offensive about Natalie. Republicans said much worse about Kamala Harris. Trump has said many times he loves to be around younger woman. Let's recognize this one at least happens to be an adult.

Not one of them mentions how insane it is to threaten to bomb Oman. Only out of control dictators make such threats. It's the kind of shit you'd expect form Kim Jong Un, not the President of the US.

People often cut contact for their own personal health. Parent is usually inflexible. I had this problem with my mother and step-father. They were never open to hearing what I had to say. They were always right. At some point, it's just healthier not to talk to them, esp when they don't let it go.

Of course cases fall apart. Purpose is not law enforcement, it's propaganda. The Trump friendly mainstream media reports accusations, but never presents evidence. Trump building his own network of fake news. Straight out of the propaganda playbook. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

My only question. How much stock of the company did Trump buy? Every company he promotes on social media gets a stock price bump, and Trump has invested in most of those stocks too. At least in the short term.

My wife kept her ex-husband's name for 12 years for the same reason. Their divorce was amicable, she didn't like her maiden last name, and it was hugely inconvienient to go to that trouble. She didn't change her last name until after she married me.

I just don't know how anyone can take anyone seriosuly after they say stupid shit like this. Denmark is 85-90% white. It's just not a serious comment, and yet these assholes, on the podcast with him, don't call him out for saying such stupid shit.

Groups like the Chamber of Commerce defend these predatory practices as micromanaging, it's predatory behavior designed to decieve the consumer. Good on Mamdani for implementing this. My nephew was told he couldn't cancel his gym membership unless he physically showed up at the gym to do so. Absurd.

That's how its done. He knew the history, he knew the players, and he gave everyone credit. Unlike Trump, he made it about the team and about the city, not about himself.

Slightly worse? How about signficantly worse. They get 25-30 times the money, the ability to charge "maintenence fees" to ships that pass by them. This is an epic shellacking. The "maintenence fees" alone guarantee the cost of oil remains higher than it was in Jan. Trump's an idiot and a a bozo

As an Athiest, it doesn't matter to me if LDS is Christian or not. All faiths should have advocates in military to support their members. Personally, I support all Faith's right to have advocates of their faith in the military as guaranteed by the US Constitution. He's discriminating.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter if LDS is Christian or not, they are a religious organization. Hegseth is discriminating against religious orgs he doesn't like. I suspect that's grossly unconstitutional

Which is why next Dem President needs to remove him from as many govt contracts as they can. Musk used DOGE to essentially take away contracts from other companies to give to himself, and stopped investigations into his businesses. That's why he was involved in DOGE to begin with.

Meaning his Art of the Deal just doesn't work unless he actually has more power than the other country. That's why he's so confused about the Iran deal. He thought having a more powerful military meant he had more power than Iran, and Iran has proven him wrong. He just doesn't know what to do now.

ecostarr @ecostarr.bsky.social · 04/06/2026
Sowing confusion is part of his Art of the Deal. Problem is that confusing subcontractors who are in a weaker positon is very different from sowing confusion with countries that are equal in stature, such as China, or in power, such as Iran re Strait of Hormuz. And they have to satisfy diff ppl.

Why do we need a $250 bill. I realize it is advertized as commemorative (He can always produce a commemorative coin for sale through the White House--which he'll probbably also do), but it costs taxpayer resources to create a new piece of currency for no real benefit to banks or the general public.

Talk about actively underming your countries tourist trade . . . just in time for the World Cup. Yes, all of those vistors want to fly into another airport 500 miles away ?? So, you want to go to Seattle? How about I fly you into Idaho and you can drive to Seattle. They're insane.
