You had to assume a haberdasher POTUS was woke and don’t get me started on IKE …

“What can I add that has not already been said?” [Former Chief of Staff John] Kelly said, when asked if he wanted to weigh in on his former boss in light of recent comments made by other former Trump officials. “A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them.’ A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me.’ A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family – for all Gold Star families – on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France.


The daughters of a Queens foot doctor say their late father diagnosed President Donald Trump with bone spurs to help him avoid the Vietnam War draft as a “favor” to his father Fred Trump, according to a new report Wednesday.


“[John McCain]'s not a war hero,” said Trump. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

You know there are pictures of you on the internet, right? You understand that we know what you look like, right? You understand that you are among the last people who should be critiquing anyone else’s body type, yeah?
 


Trump: There has been no fight. No fight. Like when I called the Gulf of America the Gulf of America. I could never understand, we have 92% of the frontage and for years, 350 years they were there before us, it was called the Gulf of Mexico. I had this idea looking at a map and saying we have most of the frontage, why is it gulf of Mexico, why isn't it the gulf of America? I made the change and it went smoothly. We had a couple of fake news outlets that refused to make the change. A.P. Took us to court and we won and the judge, who was a somewhat liberal judge said the name is the Gulf of America

The email from his mother is devastating- I can’t imagine how bad things would need to get for a mother to send this to her son:

Text of the Email That Pete Hegseth’s Mother Sent Him

Penelope Hegseth sent the email to her son in 2018 as he was in the middle of a divorce from his wife, Samantha.

I listened to a podcast covering him last week. Essentially he’s extremely bitter that he didn’t get to live out his war hero fantasies in Iraq, and in his view wasn’t adequately rewarded for what he did do. So now he’s taking it out on the military at large.

 
Just to keep myself honest I try not to reflexively disagree with Trump on every single thing, so credit where it’s due… his signature is actually pretty cool.
 
Physical ability has never been less important in the military. you can be as as fast a Usain Bolt and as strong as the mountain and one cheap drone takes you out just the same. I'll take 5 cross stitching drone ops over 5 Hegseths all day. What a moron.
 
Here it is:



It’s a meander, but to distill, he says he got 95% of the firefighter vote and they’re brave and in our inner cities which are part of war there are animals who shoot at firefighters, shoot bullets while they are on ladders and could fall (not to mention getting shot I guess) so that’s a big part of war
