Embarrassing.

Edward Norton: “Trump is worse than Nixon and McNamara by far, Trump and Hegseth. We’re in a level of incompetency and grift and corruption that is unprecedented in the history of this country”

[David French @DavidAFrench]

The reason why Watergate would be a 12 hour news story today is that Trump is so corrupt that Nixon seems almost quaint by comparison. Heck, the Guilded Age guys are kicking themselves for being born in the wrong century. There's much more dirty money to be made now.

"I mean, we're 1,000 times
more corrupt and we're still here hahahaha..."

We can only hope 🤞

Thank you for speaking the truth, Senator. It’s a shame no one in Congress speaks the truth until they are in lame duck status 😬

[Senator Thom Tillis @SenThomTillis]

General Chris Donahue has spent his career leading from the front, earning the respect of Soldiers, Allies, and senior leaders across the Joint Force. Secretary Hegseth’s decision to force him out says far more about Hegseth than it does about General Donahue.

This is yet another unforced error from a Secretary leading the Pentagon with bro-culture bravado rather than restraint, humility and careful stewardship of the finest fighting force in the world.

Strong leaders are not threatened by accomplished commanders. Weak ones are. His paranoid micromanagement of senior military leaders and promotion lists is pure insecurity dressed up as reform. He is more interested in purging people he perceives as insufficiently loyal than empowering proven patriots who can actually lead.

This is not reinvigorating the warrior ethos. This is not a leader prioritizing merit. It’s sophomoric. It’s unserious. And it’s bringing great harm to our Department of Defense. Our military deserves steady, serious civilian leadership. Right now, it’s getting the opposite.

Just refreshing this in everyone’s feed

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Donald Trump took us to war without a plan. Families have lost loved ones. Billions of dollars have been spent. For what? This “deal” he signed leaves Iran stronger and in control of the Strait, but does little to advance US interests. The “master deal maker” just made one of the worst deals in US history. This is a total capitulation! What’s next, the Russians get Alaska?

[Spencer Hakimian @SpencerHakimian]

“You paid Iran $300 billion dollars to re-open a Strait that was open the entire time?”

“That’s right, Dave.”

“And this was after you defeated them 50 times?”

“That’s correct, Dave.”

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

People who think Vance is a really effective communicator seem to miss the fact that he routinely just makes up the arguments of fictional critics and then DESTROYS the strawmen.

[Brian @bearcatnati]

When Trump said “unconditional surrender”, we thought he was talking about Iran 🤔🤷‍♂️

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

He took America to war - killing 13 soldiers, thousands of Iranian civilians and costing taxpayers $60 billion - to get rid of Iran’s missile program.

And now that he’s lost the war, he pretends like it’s no big deal.

Just unforgivable. What a charlatan.

[Brian @bearcatnati]

@GeraldoRivera He mainly sleeps at cabinet meetings. And sporting events 🤷‍♂️😴💤
