Trump to nominate fox news host as secretary of defense

You and the people you know are not the majority of the country so what you think is bullshit doesn't apply to everyone. Those three things you named are more in line with maga grievances than anything else and I don't know a single person who complained about any of them.

I will grant you that DEI did play a role in Kamala's hire and that ditzy girl they chose for WH Press secretary. If they were going to hire DEI candidates, there were much better choices IMO. Before Kamala ran, my friends and family all agreed that she didn't have the mass appeal to win a presidential election, though she surprised the hell out of us when she did run by way out-performing expectations, so we got behind her because she was the only option that stood between us and a Trump presidency. The feeling was that she would at least provide stability and normalcy and would be surrounded by qualified, competent advisors.

The border was clearly an issue which actually drove me mad as well because I couldn't understand why he let it get so out of control for so long and never even addressed it. They successfully tied her to that issue by calling her the "border czar" when she was no such thing. She was asked to determine the reasons for the mass migrations from the three Central American triangle countries and that was it.

Inflation was another big issue and it didn't matter that the majority of economists agreed that her plans were better for the economy, including inflation, than Trump's but she was saddled with that issue as well, fairly or unfairly. We should have nominated someone outside of the current administration, so that we could show a clean break from the Biden administration.

Regardless, I firmly believe if we had run a more moderate, inspirational candidate like Shapiro, we would have easily won because remember, Kamala was way up in the polls for a while and especially after the debate. But when she started doing interviews she proved she couldn't articulate her platform and that sunk her. Shapiro wouldn't have had that problem.

So talk about a landslide/ mandate all you want but just to level set, this is what I posted in another thread.
  • This was far from a landslide as far as the popular vote goes, in fact, it is 41st out of 55 elections that have been held since 1824.
    • Trump won 49.9 % of the vote which means the majority voted for someone other than Trump
    • She had a substantial lead up until she started doing interviews which showed that she was no great thinker
    • If Josh Shapiro had run, he would have won easily so the clear lesson is we need to run better candidates, first and foremost.
Its back up to 50.1% Suck on it!! LOL!!

I could easily prove everything I said and punch holes in your nonsense but why waste the time. Feel free to google it and you can find out for yourself. So cocky about a mandate because you beat "the worst candidate in US history" by 1.5% LULZ
I’m not cocky about a mandate, just pointing out the obvious. Trump won every single swing state in convincing fashion. #Mandate

You do realize there are more people in those small blue patches than the large red areas combined right? And props on winning all the the swing states, which is indeed an impressive feat, but let's not get too carried away. He won 4 of those swing states by less than 1%.

You will soon realize that it doesn't matter if he won them by 5% or 1%. He won them and won the Presidency in convincing fashion. A swing state sweep. A popular vote win. Change is a comin.

You're right and I accept that, but at the same time, that change will likely be so extreme that millions will regret what they did and that will give us an even greater mandate after Crazy Donny reminds why 81 million of us kicked him to the curb before.

I can't remember where I saw it, but there was a tiktok or something saying that Trump is basically an abusive relationship. Give it some time, you forget the abuse, the crazy, things weren't so bad, he was exciting so you go back.... How well does that usually go.

Democrats have been in charge 12 of the last 16 years. Interesting take.

I saw some pundit on a show I can't remember say he texted his younger conservative friends to ask them why they supported Trump and he said the theme was that MAGA was fun, lol. Doesn't matter that it's crazy and dumb with things like Kamala will ban cows and windows in buildings, doesn't matter that he holds Nazi rallies at MSG, doesn't matter that when he attempts to talk about his plans, he instead talks about batteries, sharks and Hannibal Lecter, MAGA is "fun"....herpy derp da day.... 😅

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.

Son,

I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out..

You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.

I am not a saint, far from it.. so don’t throw that in my face,. but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.

Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as “unstable” for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith.

I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side… bunk… we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont’ care)

Don’t you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us… that’s what babies do. It’s time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women

We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don’t want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted]

And yes, we are praying for you (and you don’t deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply)

I don’t want an answer to this… I don’t want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But… On behalf of all the women (and I know it’s many) you have abused in some way, I say… get some help and take an honest look at yourself…

Mom

 
They know that people that elected DJT are fed up with establishment Republicans and uni-party business as usual. The thing that is moving the needle is the threat that they will face grass-roots backlash and an opposition and opponent campaign funded by Elon.
