Pete Hegseth graduated from Princeton.

Also, Simon and Schuster is laying off more people. They are owned by KKR.

Veterinarians. Harry's shoes (sold to PE, fired all the experienced sales people). Schoology (bought by PE, stopped updating the software and providing customer service)

Don't forget about the farmers who are going to have to pay more for fertilizer. But I hear that they were doing great because of the tariffs.

If you live in a large, walkable city like I do, it definitely does change consumer behavior, largely through its power to buy up and shut down local businesses. And when it leads to enshitification of services, there is less consumer choice.

If you have 1 and 2, 3 will be less necessary, and a non-zero percentage of parents will perceive 3 as scolding or yelling anyway.

Luckily, betting on this is the first thing that comes up on Polymarket. Right above bets on what appear to be e-sports teams.

“Trans children are perfect.”

I think I know who should be the first to receive a pinkslip.

Rather than a few people getting really really rich, it meant more people got only a little rich and a lot more people got to not be poor, and Republicans lost their minds.

I hate that I now know what a double tap is. This sucks.

Ahhh yes, let's throw money at the Department that consistently fails audits. If only there were someone who cares about waste, fraud and abuse.

On the plus side, in March those job loss numbers will include Kristi Noem.

Probably. These are the kind of freaks who read Nickel Boys and think it provides a blueprint. (Except they don't read, so maybe someone told them about it)

Wow. It turns out paying people to work may have salutary effects on the economy due to their ability to pay for stuff. Who knew?

How are those corner stats even measured? It takes an awful long time for the ref to blow the whistle with all the argy bargy in the box.

Strange choice, since Ken Paxton's corruption and moral depravity almost rival Trump's. He's an obvious heir-apparent.

Not the sole purpose, and maybe not even the primary purpose, which seems to be content uber alles.

The logical conclusion to draw from the full statement is that while previous wars had vague objectives, this war has no objectives, and that is somehow an improvement.

I think it might have something to do with the president of the U.S. not being able to attend to anything for longer than ten minutes, and then only if it is on TV.

99% chance they do. (1% chance they are too stupid to think of that as excuse)

Nothing screams "homeland security" like a former MMA fighter driving around DC refusing to wear seat belts. America is getting what it deserves.

big Don Ameche at the end of Trading Places energy here.

Hegseth: War is hell and hell is other people so I'm sending other people to fight a war to unleash hell. Suck it, woke leftist losers!

An entire run of Abe Simpson fashion layouts might be called for.

Islam, as a monotheistic, Abrahamic religion, is just as "Western" as Christianity.

I'm starting to think that he doesn't understand the concept of humanity (perhaps because he is an android or an extraterrestrial)?

You beat me to it.

If he doesn't know why he should, then perhaps voters should ask themselves, "Why would I vote for someone who takes Epstein money?"

Is it me, or has he dropped the "Judeo" perhaps in reference to Mexico's current president?
