So how long does Hegseth actually last? 1 Mooch? 2 Mooches? I can't see him serving the full term

Better question is will he be sober enough to answer a 3AM call.

Remember, this is the fault of the Democrats for not working with the Republicans. They really brought this on America themselves by not taking a higher moral position. Shame on them.

So we’re approaching a week in and it’s horrible. The election was largely fought and won on cost of living. Americans wanted costs to decrease, but Trump has done nothing to achieve that. In fact, he’s done a few things that will cause costs to increase—some, like medications, sharply. Americans, you voted for this bloody mess. FAFO.

Trump just fired 14 inspectors general - guess he doesn't want any oversight on what he does. Under the statute he's supposed to give 30 days notice to congress and a rationale. So someone may challenge it.

The Inspectors General have already replied in a letter and said, basically, 'yeah you cant do that and you should maybe talk with the White House Counsels office'

This is a bigger disaster than I expected but he’s doing what he said he would. They voted for this. Canada and Greenland have nothing to do with that ####### so he can just #### right off.

As someone who very much didn't vote for this, I plan to be absolutely insufferable about the price of eggs/gas/groceries/meds, etc. for the next 4 years, anytime I have to interact with a Trump voter.

Yup. I am being insufferable, and I plan to continue, too.
What is really amusing is many seem to be in shock that gas isn't $2 and eggs $1

Seeing what the menace is doing down south—threatening Rachel Maddiw (other media members will be next), members of his own party who won’t do his bidding, threatening thousands of civil servants, threatening health-compromised Americans, and threatening everyone who’s wronged him. He’s threatening Americans who have wished him bad intent; Americans are scrubbing their social media. He’s put targets on people’s backs by removing protections.

The Trump Revenge Tour is underway. This is why Biden gave out these pardons. Dr. Fauci would be Public Enemy Number 1.

I’m surprised that the orange rapist hasn’t arrested Obama yet.

If Biden was so worried about this, he very well could have put an end to Trump as his last official act as president. A President Vance may have been more palatable. It also would have been a lesson to SCOTUS about the pandoras box they opened, that undoubtedly is going to be abused by the sitting POTUS to get what he wants.

You had to know Trump was going to go all Putin like but I didn't think so fast, one thing he's forgetting Putin doesn't have 500 million guns in Russia, highly doubt Trump will last to serve his 4 years and it won't end in natural causes.

He just isn't letting this Greenland thing go either. We will make you free by taking anything we want...

""President Donald Trump has said he believes the US will gain control of Greenland, after showing renewed interest in acquiring the autonomous Danish territory in recent weeks.

"I think we're going to have it," he told reporters on Air Force One on Saturday, adding that the island's 57,000 residents "want to be with us".

His comments come after reports that Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen insisted Greenland was not for sale in a fiery phone call with the president last week.

Trump floated the prospect of buying the vast Arctic territory during his first term in 2019, and has said US control of Greenland is an "absolute necessity" for international security.

"I think the people want to be with us," Trump said when asked about the island in the press room on board the presidential plane.

"I don't really know what claim Denmark has to it, but it would be a very unfriendly act if they didn't allow that to happen because it's for the protection of the free world," he added.

"I think Greenland we'll get because it has to do with freedom of the world," Trump continued.

"It has nothing to do with the United States other than that we're the one that can provide the freedom. They can't."

Despite Trump's apparent confidence, the prime ministers of Greenland and Denmark have both previously said the island was not for sale."" --BBC
