    According to Hegseth throwing someone under a bus is just maximum lethality warrior mentality being taken off the leash.

    So, apparently Iran denied the latest US proposal to stop the war.

    I'm kind of surprised, honestly. /s

    Trump expected to announce action to solve TSA problems amid DHS shutdown

    "Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said Thursday that he’s holding off on offering a bill on the Senate floor to pay TSA workers during the partial government shutdown because he expects Trump to make a major announcement Thursday afternoon."

    Once again GOP legislators refusing to do their fucking jobs.

    When was the last time a congress did its job in general? Has to be 20+ years since any major legislation that became a law originated in Congress and not the White House whatsoever.

    The insane levels of debt that no one since Clinton has addressed are going to fuck us spectacularly at some point.

    Edit: I'm referring to the National debt in case this wasn't clear.

    I currently have about $2500 of student loans left, and the army just raised the max age of enlistment to my current age…and with all that’s going on today, I can’t say I’m completely comfortable with any of that.

    I don't think he's stupid enough to restart the draft.

    I dunno. At this point, I kinda respect the people who adamantly insist on batting zero regarding the whole "Well...sure. Trump has done this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. But guys! He deeeeeeeeeefintely won't do this!"

    Hey, I'm not shy about calling out how awful he is so if I'm wrong about the draft then I'll own it.

    Congress has to do that, or amend the law to let him.

    Or they will just look the other way and let him do it via executive order like so many other things they allowed him to get away with that he didn't have legal authority to do

    Just like they have to approve him starting any new wars? Or let him implement any tariffs? Or any other myriad number of things that congress is SUPPOSED to do instead of the executive branch and he just doesn't make them?
