At this point, Trump will need to dig deep to get some positive points. Maybe sack his entire cabinet and shoot himself in a bunker?

The constant turnover of staff and administrators is part of the ◊◊◊◊-show. Few of these idiots will be around in a year, much less four. The only thing we can count on is that they will be replaced only by people at least as unqualified and despicable as they are.

Or worse, if that is conceivable.

Even as a non-American, it seems ridiculous that US military forces are being SO badly served by their own Defense Department. As it is, the Trump administration has picked the dregs of the worst possible candidates...then thrown them aside in favour of people who don't even measure up to that standard.

Is this for real, or a joke? I can't find any news on this. 23 year old kid with no military experience appointed to Pete "Otis" Hegseth's staff? Is he one of Muskrat's kids?

Anyway, enjoy the comments. :)

It's a damning indictment of Donald Trump and his administration that stuff like this is plausible even if it's completely made up.

Seems to be genuine. His father is a member of the Florida house of representatives, Ryan Chamberlin. (When did they lose the 'a' from Chamberlain?)

A shining endorsement for home schooling (presuming the comments have that correct).

And it's probably indicative of what an asset he will be to the DoD that having made a clear error (conflating "to be reckoned with" and "not to be trifled with") that he instinctively digs his heels in and insists he's right. Like so many great military minds from history who defiantly charged blindly on when it was obvious to all they were making an elementary blunder. Kid will go far.
 
On 16 April The New Republic wrote, "“Another incredible discovery,” Labor Secretary Loria Cahez-DeRemer wrote on X, following DOGE’s investigation reveal. It turns out this “incredible discovery” was just another false claim from the billionaire used to justify his egregious attack on low-income people across the country."

The story is not easy to summarize, but my point is that if you have evidence of fraud, it should be heard in open court. Putting charges on X is just done for publicity.
