Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal.
This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.
Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."
Downey: You're known by the company you keep
Blow: The company Donald Trump keeps is dictators, Jeffrey Epstein, and crooks and criminals… So for you guys have the gall to talk to anybody about guilt by association…

WATCH — @redstateupdate.bsky.social (Murfreesboro): “Millions of people have already lost their insurance. And when this ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ kicks in after the midterms? Good Lord… How are they gonna say they don’t have enough money for Medicare when they’re painting statues gold?” 🤷🏼
Hunter Biden: “As it relates to Donald Trump, fuck him. Fuck his son. Fuck his daughter. I mean it. All of them. The whole family, down to the grandchildren. I hope that, for the rest of time, their names will live in ignominy. They have done the most awful things to my family and to me.”
Rep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"
China is eating our lunch in almost everything.

"Trump said, 'You know why I [attack the press]? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you.' Trump said that," Stahl told the audience, adding, "So, put that in your head for a minute." www.cbsnews.com/news/lesley-...
March 9: "We're now totally independent of the Middle East. We don't need their oil."
April 1: "It doesn't really affect us. We have so much oil, much more than we need."
June 17: If I didn't agree to the MOU, we "would run out of reserves at about 4 weeks..."
Even Trump's own former economic advisor is saying it: tariffs are driving up prices and threatening American jobs. Affordability matters. Workers and families deserve policies that bring costs down. www.foxnews.com/opinion/step...

Bill Pulte, dildos and “only the young.” (watch)

REP. DEAN TO BLANCHE: "The president lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove it. It's all covered up. The 🇺🇸 people are not stupid.”

IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery
As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.
REMINDER: The full effects of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill don’t hit until after the 2026 midterms.
That’s by design. Republicans want the votes first and the consequences caused by your pain, AFTER the election.
This always amazes me. In a very reprehensible way...how these men went from making these statements to complicit enablers. They could have and should have been better.
