    The SecNav under Biden put out a statement saying the Biden Admin viewed any organization that discriminated against people based on sex, gender, or sexual orientation and would be considered extremist and service members could not be part of one. I'm not sure they ran that one past legal because that meant you could not be a practicing Catholic, Orthodox Jew, or Muslim.

    Kinda like saying my Eurasian religious symbol, a simple swastika, got me in trouble and labeled me a Nazi. He literally tattooed Deus Vult on himself too. I dont think he's simply into medieval history.

    how so, does practicing one of those religions require one to discriminate against people?

    Because you were a member of an organization that discriminated based on sex, gender, or sexual orientation. The Catholic church, Orthodox Jews, and Muslim all discriminate based on sex and sexual orientation since they will not ordain women and do not allow gay marriage.

    I never understood that, they check all the boxes. Military people have been tossed out for less than these fine upstanding cults have carried out in the name of themselves.

    Not sure about the pick, but the DoD needs a serious shakeup.

    Can't possibly be worse than Pete Bootyjug for transportation whatever, or sKamala for border czar (did y'all actually forget how badly she sucked, or just figure we would?)

    Tells you a lot about the education in this country.

    What is economic trajectory? What is supply and demand and it's affect on prices? Do economies start and stop on inauguration day? Is there a difference between the economy and cost of goods and gas? Is it possible for corporations to not want to give up record profits? Is Victor Orban a dictator? How about Vladmir Putin? Are women dying needlessly for lack of maternal health care?

    Asking for those of us who knew the answers and voted accordingly.

    In addition, he also has said that he hasn’t washed his hands in 10 years because germs don’t exist because he can’t see them. Tell me again how going to an Ivy League school means you’re smart. LOL

    Your homophobia is showing. He did a great job as transportation secretary and KAMALA was not a BORDER czar! She was in charge of finding the root causes for the immigration at the southern border. Helped them bring in investors to bring in business to increase jobs.
    Here:
    FACT SHEET: Strategy to Address the Root Causes of Migration in Central America | The White House

    She also got Mexico to pay for high tech BORDER security in the neighborhood of over $1 billion.

    She so sucked. :rolleyes:

    To your point, how is the military doing today?
    Are we meeting recruiting goals? No.
    What is our position on combat readiness of ships and planes? The GAO calls for "urgent" changes - Military Readiness | U.S. GAO

    So, with recruiting down and our military readiness subpar I would say that the folks who have come before him have done a piss-poor job. Why would we continue to appoint similar people? The American people are sick and tired of Washington DC telling us how much they love us and how hard they're working for us while the politicians get rich via insider trading and cushy jobs after government service.

    It might be a royal mess-up on the part of Trump. The current guy is so good and so desperately needed that he can take a week off and have surgery and effectively be AWOL. It may be a swing and a miss or it may be a homerun - we will see. But, to continue the same ole same ole = insanity.

    I heard Donald single handedly rebuild the military…apparently to have it destroyed in 4 years. Some rebuild.

    This was under Trump.

    His Fox and Friends co-host Jedediah Bila appeared shocked, saying: "Someone, help me!" Hegseth later posted on Twitter that the comment was a joke.

    Not even a token mention of the 35 Trillion dollar debt, the Trillion dollar deficits, nor the double digit inflation...

    Yep! You said it alright...

    'murica's too stupid to understand how great the [neo-socialist debt fueled] economy is.

    Yall are soooooo smart.

    Get fat off of the next generation's wealth by borrowing us into oblivion, like the South got fat on the work of its slaves.

    The Dummyrat way!

    Teach on, sis!
