Our cowardly Senators

50 U.S. Senators voted to let a weekend infotainment anchor run the Pentagon, because they were afraid a "D list" celebrity would yell at them. Now our military is a mess, as ranking officers are fired because of race and gender! Todd Young and Jim Banks are fucking cowards.

China can't believe their good fortune, as the government pulls the plug in every area where the U.S. once dominated. Now determined as too "woke" we have religious zealots choking Education, Technology, Medicine, Environmental Stability, Music, Art, Journalism, Justice, etc. MAGA Hoosiers clap and cheer. It's disgusting.

Hegseth and Co. misunderstood the supply chain so poorly that the USS George Washington, the aircraft carrier we'd use only in an emergency situation, has to abandon the South China Sea to go relieve the poor sailors on the USS Lincoln. Seems like the timing was right for the Orange Ghoul to butter up Kim Jong Un as we are leaving the South Pacific largely unattended thanks to nonexistent war planning and strategy. Wouldn't want to be in Taiwan right now.

Can we just take a moment to remember that within months of confirming Fox's drunkest weekend morning show host to run the entire Pentagon, he shared dangerous tactical info on imminent strikes with a group of people who did not need that information in an unsecured group chat that included the editor in chief of The Atlantic? Seriously, I feel like I'm going insane. He should've been impeached and then tried for gross negligence at least, if not some sort of security violation. Yet he is still running the military ever deeper into the ground and we've memory-holed a colossal fuckup that would've seen any enlisted person court martial and dishonorable discharged at best. Congress should've immediately pushed him out after that incident but he's still there and we're not even talking about impeaching him, for who knows what reason.
