Like zero anyone cares for them at all. Nobody is going to lift a finger at this point. Department leadership is irrevocably broken. Before people don’t like her but did their jobs, now just straight up laughing at her and her boyfriend. And sounds like getting close to that at DOD. Total disaster. And while I don’t know people at ODNI and DOJ I suspect that’s where things are headed too.

to replace any conservative judges, they have to do it soon. With control of the senate, the Dems could just sit on any nominations. Though you'd assume nobody would retire at that point.

this may also mean they are worried about the senate midterms.*

Barrett has been itching to overturn Roe since kindergarten. Religious nuts can be unpredictable, though, and she's unremarkable in that sense.

Kavanaugh is a political operative. That's not new, but he's not a disinterested actor.

Gorsuch is the wild card, but was believed to be the kind of anti-regulation/anti-government libertarian that oil companies need on their side.

He's at the rock bottom of competency.

I don't recall Sotormayor having to correct opinions she'd drafted because they were factually inaccurate. (And maybe she did, but I honestly don't recall that)

His apparently waffling on ICE's ability to make a stop based solely on apparent ethnicity doesn't scream intellectual either. What did he think was going to happen?

I'll admit that my view of Brett is tainted by a friend who worked in the White House with him and didn't have much good to stay about him, despite being as died in the wool of a Republican as I know.

The disdain for Hegseth is at this point hilarious in the force. Even drop dead conservative officers just roll their eyes. The conversations I had last week…. He, Noem and Tulsi are flat out impacting our national security to an extent not seen in modern times.

When I was battery XO, we got a brand new 2LT as a FDO right out the Point

One day we scheduled the obstacle course for PT.

We all went through, including the officers as a group including this LT.

Then it was time for his fire direction team to go, despite being visibly gassed, this hard charger decided to run it a second time despite all of us questioning his decision.

Long story short, soon after we heard a yell as more than half way up he got tangled in the cargo nets and fell nearly 20 feet, separating his shoulder and putting him in a shoulder sling weeks.

I'll never forget the look on our Battery Commander's face. He was as straight laced, rule-following son of a bitch, who I NEVER once heard complain. As the LT laid there squirming in the dirt, his look said in "Get a load of this asshat. Maybe that will teach him." without saying a word.

Every time I hear about Pete Hegseth, his awful decisions, and performative bullshit, I think of that jagoff of a 2LT.

"You must own the honor of being the whitest, military vet, fat, multiple state property owner but most of all the one who hates their own country the most in our country."

Will he be played by Schwimmer?*

Never made that connection, but yes both that LT and Hegseth are VERY Sobel-esque.

against someone like Paxton. I do like Crockett, but I'm not sure she will play statewide.

I'm sure Colbert wouldn't mind inviting Ken Paxton on to answer some questions...
