Here is a highlight reel of a great series if you have time to watch it

I tell you fellas, I'm totally crestfallen to see this.

None of this stuff is mandated by the constitution as far as I can tell so let it fall on the ash-heap of history. On the other hand I don't think the constitution precludes congress from creating abominations like this either.

So Trump can't outright abolish USAID but telling the workers to go home and transferring the building is diabolical. I hope what he's done survives the court challenges. At least it's being exposed and we're not wasting as many $ while it all plays out. I'd actually like to see congress try and defend it at this point [edit: as it would be amusing to watch].

Douglas MacArthur was fired by a different president in a different war. Following WWII he almost single handedly resurrectied Japan as a democratic state and ally. He then was commander of UN forces in Korea where he executed the brilliant Inchon landings. He was subsequently relieved by Truman.

Truman it was ,korea it was and I was thinking of, I stand corrected , my 72 year old mind !

Doesn't that describe all of us on here from time to time? "Forget it. He's rolling."

I can almost hear the scream even without watching the video!

I like watching the girl behind Dangerfield steadily shrinking in her seat as Goldwait gets rolling!

Hegseth travels to Europe on a military transport and works out of an office container ratcheted to the plane. He then gets up and does PT with the troops. Wonder when the last time a SecDef did the same. It certainly wasn't Austin. I knew nothing about Hegseth prior to his nomination. So far he seems to be making the right moves. Even if it is only for publicity photos, which I'm not sure it is.
