hegseth up to 70% likely to be sec def ...after hovering at 40% for weeks. Apparently ernst is on board now.
Great, America, great. We put completely defective human beings in at president AND at sec of defense.
Nothing like having the nuclear chain of command headed up by sick degenerates with no shame and terrible judgment. One with a public drinking problem and zero relevant experience, the other with a light and tenuous grip on reality, multiple felonies under his very large belt and a terminal liar.
We are a deeply unserious country.

That's rich coming from someone who supports the party that allows men to compete in women's sports.
FAIL.
You seem to having a hard time understanding the concept of issues vs really big issues.
It is my opinion that men/boys should not be allowed in women's/girl's sports. However, I also recognize that this issue, significant though it may be, pales in comparison to the issue of preserving our democracy.
Remember the 400 economists who endorsed Harris for the presidency? Almost all were far-left liberals. I am sure most of these "world-renowned" scientists are also very left-leaning. Almost all are kooks, Agip.

Trump is making you a stupid person. You may not see it. But others can by reading your drivel. . I bet there was a time that you respected and deferred to experts in their various fields of expertise. Trumpism has now taught you otherwise.
We are witnessing the nationwide death of expertise. This is par for the course in a slide into Authoritarian state. There can be no authorities at any time that offer contradictory facts to the party line.
Scientists, Economists, Health experts will all take a back seat in America to what the billionaires say we need.

Slow down son. If you keep this level of whining, crying and pearl clutching up, you won’t even make it to Inauguration Day.
The more the "experts" speak up, the more M@G@ crowd gets convinced that Trump is right and everyone else is wrong.
Straight out of the old playbook. We're failing at keeping our republic.
Orwell describing trump's view of himself and how he has molded republicans to think. They prefer trump's word on science to Nobel Laureates. Just like orwell instructed autocrats to teach their people.
Orwell:
At the apex of the pyramid comes Big Brother. Big Brother is infallible and all-powerful. Every success, every achievement, every victory, every scientific discovery, all knowledge, all wisdom, all happiness, all virtue, are held to issue directly from his leadership and inspiration.

I have no problem with this. If people want to drink raw milk, they deserve the freedom to. If people don't want to take any vaccine, they shouldn't be forced to.

if people don't want to limit their speed to 65 they shouldn't be forced to!
if food companies don't want to keep their food safe they shouldn't be forced to!
if people don't want to get their cars inspected they shouldn't be forced to!
if people don't want to have smog prevention gear on their cars they shouldn't be forced to!

People speeding will affect others. Just like how unsafe food will. Not taking a vaccine is a personal medical decision based in freedom. As a libertarian I don't think any vaccines should be mandatory.
Edit - I personally don't care much about abortion either if you're going to try to use that as a point. I live in a blue state where it stayed legal after roe was overturned. if I lived in a red state it'd have been illegal. But overturning Roe just sent it back to the states to decide

we take vaccines partly for other people. To establish herd immunity. To stop the disease from racing through the human herd and killing people. Because not everyone can/will take the vaccine and not everyone will survive the disease even if vaccinated.
That's how all this works. The army forces vaccinations so the unit will stay healthy and not get knocked down with, say, smallpox. Same for the general population.
Do you all really not know this? Where do you get your news and information?

this sort of thing is so telling...Dems go to college, they have a grasp of facts...and they assume that Republicans also have a grasp on the facts. Wouldn't you assume that this cat knows we take vaccines to establish herd immunity? Yes? But no, he does not know that. So he gets taken in by nonsense snake peddlers like trump and rfk.
turns out Republicans do NOT have a grasp on the facts because they don't trust the NY Tines, or they don't go to college or they don't know that there's a thing called google that will tell them the truth, or they think that experts don't know any more than you or I and that trump is always right.
it's a fundamental mismatch of citizenship based on unequal knowledge.

Trump fills a need they have. They love the things Trump says to them about people they hate. Real and imaginary people. It is a sugar high to hear Trump.
But Now it is time to govern the country and the sugar high will turn into a startling realization that Trump has no real policy. Only divisive rhetoric, slogans and culture war stuff. And he has surrounded himself with self absorbed billionaires with no experience out to get their loot.
How do they get their loot? Slashing the things that Americans need for happy and healthy lives. (Clean water, air, social security, medical care)
