But then the compelling question becomes, why would I? Anybody with common sense knows that they don't need to prove themselves to egotistical, sanctimonious strangers on the Internet, and unfortunately you meet those criteria.
Beyond that, much like the conversation I was having yesterday with Gnarleysheen about Ivy League graduates, in my experience the people who genuinely do have a notable background don't "wear it on their sleeve" because it can come across as pretentious. Since you have proven yourself to consistently be antagonistic to everyone who isn't a MAGA zealot, I quite certain that you wouldn't believe me, so I'll pass.
On the other hand, it is more than a bit disappointing that you supposedly have 11 years of U.S. military experience, and you actually believe that Hegseth is qualified to be the Secretary of Defense. I don't know anybody else with that type of military experience who does.
If he truly had 11 years of military experience, I find it difficult to understand how he arrived at his current viewpoint. Military service often instills a deep understanding of national security, yet the stance he’s taking seems disconnected from that reality. At the end of the day, any true patriot should be concerned about the direction of our leadership—regardless of political affiliation. I consider myself a conservative, but my concern isn’t about party lines; it’s about the safety and stability of our country. Our national security appears increasingly vulnerable under the current administration, and ignoring these concerns only weakens us as a nation. For those inclined to dismiss this perspective with partisan rhetoric, I encourage you to take a step back and think critically about what’s being said. Loving your country means recognizing when it’s heading in the wrong direction and working together to correct its course. We owe it to ourselves and future generations to address these issues with honesty and unity. I say that knowing full well the usual suspects will totally ignore everything I just wrote and continue to spout garbage about emails and laptops and how libs are evil...
You people are truly mentally ill.
If you think the last 4 years were "the right direction" you've never been a conservative.

You seem drawn to every discussion like a moth to a flame—you just can’t help but comment. That’s fine; everyone is entitled to their opinion. But tell me, where in my comment did I say I supported the last four years? I didn’t. What I am saying is that, based on what I see and hear, our current administration poses a real concern for national security. Your response suggests you’re more interested in arguing than actually addressing the issue at hand. If you have a serious counterpoint, I’m open to hearing it. But dismissing concerns outright doesn’t contribute to a real discussion—it just proves that you’d rather attack than engage. Which if you could read my last comment, proved my point entirely. I'll be curious at your response. But I anticipate another boring attack.

Exactly!
And unfortunately, it is highly unlikely that you will hear a serious counterpoint from Eddy. Although there does seem to be an intelligent contributor hidden underneath all of that vitriol, his occasionally astute observations get drowned in a sea of sanctimonious rants and petulant ad hominem attacks.

Trump could strangle an infant in the Oval Office and Eddy would blame it on Biden and bring up Obama

Well, Obama is the reason we got Trump in the first place. All of the identity and oppression politics started with that man. And he failed to get fiscal reform done and a path to fiscal sustainability, electing to push the AHA through instead. It would’ve been much better had he done it the other way around where we can actually, like, pay for stuff? As it is, former Democrat and environmental savior Elon Musk is now Satan to the Democrats for attempting to do what should’ve been done a long time ago.
Also, Biden’s embrace of the woke politics, severe neglect of the border, Covid autocracy, censorship, and the Democrat’s attempt to coup him when they finally realized they couldn’t hide the Alzheimer’s conservatives were calling out some three years ago anymore led to Trump’s re-election.
None of which has anything to with Waltz’ and Hegseth’s major fukk up here.

What is the alternative to the current administration?
It's the Kamala Harris administration which would be as bad or worse as the Biden administration.
You don't even understand the issue at hand is you're just virtue signaling mindlessly.

Yeah actually I think the Biden bull market was better than this, but maybe it's just me liking money and all. You know.

Shut with the old blaming.
take responsibility for your vote like a man
Hey dbag, I didn’t vote for Trump and I’ve repeatedly said here that the Republicans need to own this f up and someone needs to get fired.
Oh, and it’s spelled Tucson. I used to live there. Amazing how many people can’t get it right.
the train wreck that is this administration and the cults and faux news blid and brainwashed defense of the sh*t show that’s unfolding is truly hilarious to follow. keep it going!
You harp on imaginary characters who promote open US borders. Are real issues too difficult for you?
Were you not alive from 2021 to 2024? The democrat disregard for border security is clearly and demonstrably on display for any honest person who looks.
You do not live in reality.
The idiots you vote for are a hive mind. Whatever nuance you imagine your personal positions have is completely irrelevant.
Your party is a sh*t show and has 29% approval rating for a reason.
Trump has a 48% approval rating and a 46% disapproval rating.
Outside of your cult people prefer Trump to you.
And this is despite the 24/7 anti Trump agenda of 99% of the media.
You need to take a break from thinking you're amazing and brilliant and start reflecting on why most Americans dislike you more than Trump.
Is that your way of conceding that there is no Democrat, or any politician of any standing, who is advocating for a complete dissolution of border controls?
29% approval for the Democrats? With that rating, what do you expect the House of Representatives to be? Maybe down to 100 Democrats versus 335 Republicans after the midterms?
Trump’s approval rating will inevitably tank. He got his get out of jail free card and can’t run again so what motivation does he have to earn public approval? He doesn’t care about the lives of anyone but himself.
There’s a real world out here. You should try it some time. You might also come off as more sincere and effective if you don’t use “99%” in every ridiculous post you make. It’s so damn lazy.

Keeping his job because to fire him would be to give a win to the Democrats and liberal media. Makes total sense.
At least now his cabinet knows that there is no f-ck up big enough that would cost them their job.
If DJT fires Waltz, who will replace him?
DJT pulled Pompeo's security detail. Pompeo was Trump Man all through 45, and continued to be 2021-2025. Pompeo was instrumental in the assassination of Iranian IRGC leader Suleimani. The Iranians have vowed revenge, and just last year, a plot to kill Pompeo was discovered in the US.
So as the US is gearing up to hit The Houthis and Iran, who would sign up for this suicide mission? DJT has made it clear he won't protect you.
