Trump’s only hiring criteria is unconditional loyalty. It doesn’t leave him with much of a hiring pool to draw on. Competent people with high ethical standards need not apply. Everyone leaving the Trump administration is replaced with someone worse. Phelan had no military service, and knew nothing about the Navy. Hung Cao will be worse, as it appears he is a total nut case. As always, Senate Republicans will vote to confirm him. It doesn’t take a detailed plan for destroying government if you just keep putting totally incompetent people in charge of it.
So we have yet another unqualified, bat-shit crazy, conspiracy-theory-believing idiot-child, being assigned to a position of extremely high authority in the United States military, by Donnie Dumb-Ass.
I had an amazeballs beef brisket Chicago dog in Pensacola a couple weeks ago.....food truck (Globetrotter Street Food) just outside a micro brewery (Odd Colony) with delish beers. Live jazz sign-up sit-in, all brilliant.
The Republican Party is now singularly focused on maintaining its hold on power, regardless of what voters want. They're operating outside the realm of civil society: more worried about keeping themselves entrenched in government than they are about representing their constituents.
Okay that’s a funny typo, or nickname, but let’s just call him Pest Hegseth, or keep up the Kegsbreath. It did take me a second to remember his actual name, I thought for a second it was Seth. Anyway, I’m all for showing them the respect they’ve earned by never getting a single one of their names correct, as they are wont to do with actual respectable people, especially women. Stoop to their level like you do with children. It’s the only way they will hear you.
If you are talking about Dorothy, then you're referring to the teenage leader of a murder for hire gang who took out the Witch's sister and then rubbed out the Witch to get what she wanted. The names of her henchmen like the Scarecrow tells you all you need to know about her.
In my twisted imagination, I think about what would have happened to Dorothy once she returned home to Kansas. She tells Auntie Em that she killed two women and Dorothy is later charged with murder based upon her own confession. As she stands before the judge pronouncing sentence of death in the courtroom, she hears "good witch" Glinda's words in a sarcastic cackle that "there's no place like home". Dorothy realizes too late that Glinda played her and set her up to take the fall.
Were you as down on how Wicked turned the Wizard of Oz story on its head by making the "Wicked Witch" a sympathetic character? I lived for many years in Chicago where Baum wrote his series of Oz books. They even have an Oz park there which is well worth visiting with or without kids. Having read many of his books in the Oz series, it's sad how many today have never even heard of them. There's far more depth to the land of Oz that you'll never appreciate if your only knowledge comes from the Wizard of Oz movie.
Regarding Paul's statement, he was referring sarcastically to how the Corinthians considered themselves to be "wise" while being easily taken in by false teachers.
To be fair, the witches did run on a platform of improving public transportation, and increasing green space and hexing the rival towns high school football team
According to the Daily Mail (so it must be true) he was a super-duper conservationist who only hunted animals to ensure there weren’t too many for their habitat, so the herd / species / population could stay healthier overall (except for the dead ones, I guess). While looking for something else to shoot, he stumbled upon a bunch of mama elephants with their young and they (not having read the Daily Mail) flattened him.
On second thought, maybe he was just a dickhead who liked to shoot defenceless animals. These mothers showed him another way.
1. There is the prospect of the UK police starting an investigation into human trafficking by Epstein.
2. Trump threatening to reassess US diplomatic support for longstanding the Falkland Islands, a British Overseas Territory
There are various other things about NATO not doing what he wanted, so he is also threatening Spain with suspension. Given that NATO is essentially collegiate, this is something that he cannot do.
Calm down now! You just don't understand....tRump is playing 5D chess and all you can think about is checkers! Just give the plan time! He only gets and then replaces all the best people! 🤣🤣🤣

Competence? We don't need no stinking competence!
His hiring criteria is unconditional loyalty to him. We have seen how fast he dumps people who publicly disagree with him. (MTG, Pence, etc.)

"Only the best people."

Trump has a whole, new definition for the word, "best." 🤢🤮
Witches: they’re eating the cats 🐈, they’re eating the dogs 🐕!!!!!!
Is a hot dog a sandwich? With or without catsup?
Not a sandwich. Mustard only!
Chicago dog.

Yeah, that was a damned good Chicago dog.
Not a sandwich. A Manwich.

Yes a sandwich. Top with chili and cheese!
Some onions would be nice, if ya don't mind. 🙂

J. Edgar Boozer.
Oops, sorry. That's the FBI director.

White Claw Petey Kegbreath
I enjoy calling him Kegstand.
It's almost the only thing to compliment him on.
The only complimentary thing Kegstand will ever do for this world will be his leaving it.
At least he left his mark:

How about when he almost killed someone with that stupid outdoor axe-throwing segment?
Or call him: goddamm bonehead, or smeghead brain dead fuckwit!
What kind of witch? Good witch, bad witch, or one of those Dorothy-From-Kansas types?
Which witch is which?
I prefer witch hazel.
Sand.

And what was it she wanted? A pair of fucking shoes.
In my twisted imagination, I think about what would have happened to Dorothy once she returned home to Kansas. She tells Auntie Em that she killed two women and Dorothy is later charged with murder based upon her own confession. As she stands before the judge pronouncing sentence of death in the courtroom, she hears "good witch" Glinda's words in a sarcastic cackle that "there's no place like home". Dorothy realizes too late that Glinda played her and set her up to take the fall.
Sounds like a sequel.
Baum and others have written a goodly number of other books in the Oz series. It's a shame that most people have never even heard of them.
Sounds like something to add to my reading list.
Where is Jesus in all of this? It's Kansas.
Neither was a murder. Even when you try to be funny you fall flat.
Don't be such a spoilsport.

Indeed.
I’m torn on this.
According to the Daily Mail (so it must be true) he was a super-duper conservationist who only hunted animals to ensure there weren’t too many for their habitat, so the herd / species / population could stay healthier overall (except for the dead ones, I guess). While looking for something else to shoot, he stumbled upon a bunch of mama elephants with their young and they (not having read the Daily Mail) flattened him.
On second thought, maybe he was just a dickhead who liked to shoot defenceless animals. These mothers showed him another way.
Two things I noted today:
1. There is the prospect of the UK police starting an investigation into human trafficking by Epstein.
2. Trump threatening to reassess US diplomatic support for longstanding the Falkland Islands, a British Overseas Territory
There are various other things about NATO not doing what he wanted, so he is also threatening Spain with suspension. Given that NATO is essentially collegiate, this is something that he cannot do.
Trump is too stupid to know that it is something he cannot do.
And doesn't care, so he does it anyway.
And everyone who has ANY influence LETS HIM ... which is the real galling point.
2) is to take our minds off 1).
Calm down now! You just don't understand....tRump is playing 5D chess and all you can think about is checkers! Just give the plan time! He only gets and then replaces all the best people! 🤣🤣🤣
He’s doing the Weave at the same time he plays 5D chess.
The 5D chess is only a ploy he is using while playing 12D backgammon.
Specifically, 5D 𝘱𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘰𝘯 chess.
Where did the witches teleport him to?
Not far enough.
A ditch. Seems fitting somehow.
If witches really did take over Monterey, CA I would go. I wanna ride on some broomsticks.
Do you want to be passenger, or take the controls ?

“I wanna ride on some broomsticks.”
The idea makes my eyes water. But maybe you meant something else.

"We can't let that happen in Virginia."
As if he or anyone else could legally prevent "that from happening" (hello, religious freedom), even if this was some sort of legitimate fear.
