If you are not aware of that, and I am, you seem quite happy to tolerate it as long as it doesn't effect you. Trump is calling a spade a spade, but like the frog in heated water, we have put up this this horsestuff for years. Whether it's trade, NATO or the UN, the American worker has been abused by these entities for years. I feel pretty good about how it will work out, but it absolutely needed to be addressed. Perhaps not in his tactless manner, but it needs to stop. he's losing. other than other countries funding more of NATO and the UN, I don't see much evidence that we are going to win a trade war in terms of inflation, unemployment, gdp, wall street and individual incomes. i would replace "tactless" with "crazy" and his strategy is completely ungrounded in accepted economic principles. He's no where near bright enough to reinvent the wheels of global commerce. for my personal sake, I hope i'm wrong but I can't imagine this all ending well. he's already backtracking under pressure from wall street. stop the pretense. you're a trumper. And you're part of a shrinking minority who still support his lunacy. 4 minutes ago, AlBUNDY4TDS said: Is homelander not a board spamming moron?

Do you know which group of influencers is known for their diversity of thought? Democrat influencers!! Rest assured you will find independent thought from Jo, Brooklyn Dad, Sissons, Occupy Dems, etc. sigh

Honestly, go through your post history - is even 10% adding anything to the conversation than calling democrats morons? You never address the point (let me guess, you don’t need to because it’s “so stupid” … well in that case, ignore and move on.) But my god, man, look at your 10 latest posts and beyond. Just insults. Nothing more. It’s so boring… I agree, but sometimes pointing out the obvious is needed though. Just in case you weren't paying attention.

leh-nerd skin-erd Posted April 24 Posted April 24 2 hours ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: i would gladly trade the past admin for the current including Biden even conceding Biden's infirmity. Confused is better than insane. The economy was far better and we didn't have a prez begging Putin to stop. He's a disaster and it will likely get worse. day 101 - wars rage on. inflation rages on. both were to be fixed day 1. and you're confident in him... That's what I mean--you would gladly trade places in spite of the fact that the actions of the infirmed (and rudderless) Biden team directly lead to the horrific loss of American lives during the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, as opposed to continuing on the current past because of an administrative error that, while reckless, is just that. That's one example, of course, of many. Again, just makes you a partisan willing to look the other way when the value is there for you personally.

I have never said anything close to the quote you invented. Further, nobody here has any "responsibility" to anyone else, except maybe to be honest and not lie about them or assign views. The Hegseth thing was really stupid. I'm not certain the truth about the second occurrence is really known yet. Still, the impact was zero, because the Houthis couldn't do anything about it. But it can't happen. The impact of actual insanity in handling our military is absolutely impactful though. To wit, the foolishness that Washington imposed on Red Sea carriers that were firing million dollar plus missiles against few hundred dollar drones. Seeking authorization to strike in Yemen, they were denied, except to attack sites that had just launched drones. The Houthi actions resulted in length deployment extensions for the Ford and Eisenhower task forces. These extensions really impact maintenance schedules and subsequent deployments. More importantly the dramatically impact retention rates, which are more important than recruitment goals. The US servicemen throughout the ranks operate very sophisticated systems that take years to master. Senior enlisted and junior officer retention is critical, and it is really harmed by continued extensions to scheduled deployments. You recruit the serviceperson, but you "retain" the family, and understanding that is crucial. In the last few months, the Pentagon has OK'ed offensive operations against Yemeni positions that support or supply the Houthis, and that is a logical, sense making approach compared to what we were doing under the previous admin. I don't care if the fire Hegseth or not. I care immensely that our military is deployed with purpose and intelligent response. "The Hegseth thing was really stupid. I'm not certain the truth about the second occurrence is really known yet." Don't even bother telling anyone about what is lying. Hegseth is absolute garbage. Semi-Defend it however weirdly you choose. I apologized for calling you out, but you get to dimwhittle your way through the elder years however you like.

If he texted classified info to people he shouldn't have, it's wrong and shouldn't happen again. Jumping to "HE NEEDS TO BE FIRED!" is silly considering you didn't GAF about the previous SecDef going AWOL 3 times, which is a far bigger issue. AWOL, as in undergoing cancer treatments? https://apnews.com/article/austin-hospital-defense-secretary-biden-fe9060f1e277db706d3cee6cae1d2562 A serious person would still carry out their duties in such a situation. A Hegseth would put on eye-liner and scream victimhood.

The topic wasn't, 'I'd like to talk about Iran and enlistment rates', it was about a horrifyingly inept Secretary of Defense. I don't backtrack on my feelings on this matter, I commented on the tendency of some people with 'soft' agendas deflecting- as a tactic to avoid addressing the actual issue. It's a common approach from people who know they are on shaky ground, but still want to rattle their sticks. C'mon, you and Sherpa and 'Doc' tell me what a '***** fantastic' choice Pete Hegseth is as Secretary of Defense. You can't possibly, so you get your *****-wipes in a dither.

BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted Sunday at 10:48 AM Posted Sunday at 10:48 AM I want to point this out- there are incredibly eloquent and thoughtful persons on 'both sides of the aisle'. I know where I stand, and this administration and basically ALL of it's subordinates are complete garbage, anathema to what we should rationally consider a democracy. It's easy to get caught up in how despicable those 'who don't think like me' are. But there's only one true villain here, it's Sherpa. 1

So you invent quotes that were never said. Create viewpoints never expressed, and now demand responses, as if you have any qualification to do so. The point is I don't care about Hegseth. What I do care about is cabinet level influence at the Pentagon, which ultimately goes downstream to our services. I do care that the past four years were marked by political appointments that were identity driven and not positive nor effectual. Much the same as other gov institutions. If Hegseth can reverse that and redirect the focus on fighting wars instead of social experiments, I'm OK. If not, or if he proves to be a risk to that goal by lack if discipline or incompetence, fire him. Not complicated. I care as much about him as I do about you.
