This guy is technically an astronaut but only because he is a billionaire who bought a private spacewalk from Elon Musk. He has a pretty interesting biography though — a guy who dropped out of HS to start his own business at 16 and now owns a giant credit card processing company.
 


Trump was a busy poster yesterday (but I was also busy, so catching up now).

The two sacred rules, buy american and hire american, from a guy who outsources all of his trinkets from abroad, whose properties are staffed by immigrants, and who reaches out to hire Nazis from other countries.

That NDA is not enforceable anyway. California has banned NDAs for sexual assault claims since 2006 (and banned again in 2017). She can talk to her heart's content if she wants -- even if Rick Scott thinks it would be a bad idea.

Surely he cannot get confirmed behaving like this?

Of course he can. The GOP can afford to give up 4 votes. Murkowski might vote against him, and maybe Tillis, although he's likely facing what could be a tough GOP primary in a couple of years if he pisses off Trump too much. Collins will likely furl her brow, say she's concerned, and vote for him anyway. Hegseth actually fits what the party has become perfectly.

Hegseth is already DOA.
 
Surprised this dropped to the second page. They go after social security and that will F a lot of people! Not sure the price of eggs will matter much at that point.

They’ll go after Medicaid first. Social Security Disability payments will be next. EBT. We’ll see rampant claims about fraud….especially “illegal immigrants” getting freebies.

Then we’ll hear claims that Obamacare is stealing from Medicare to fund healthcare for “illegal immigrants” and transgender sex change surgery, especially for convicted felons and “illegal immigrants.” So, Medicare cuts. The Trumplicans facing lack of coverage and care will blame Democrats.

There are an awful lot of Trumpers that are on Medicare and Medicaid. Elon is incredibly naive about how government budgeting works. Cutting entitlements is basically politically impossible, especially with a two-vote majority in the House.
 


Ernst was an obvious easy pick for this appointment but I guess now she proves why she wasn’t picked — 99.8% loyal to Trump is not good enough.
