    I'm going to another protest on Thursday.

    Yes, they want to go back but only to the parts that made them the happiest. There were good things they no longer champion like strong unions, making good retirements.

    This has been and still remains something of a surprise to me. A part of me wants to think there were less before but they have latched on after watching the top guy get away with so much. Still, it has to be there beforehand to bear fruit and come alive. I know we all have the same capacity, but I wish so many were not influenced to use the evil part.

    This is a bad, bad look and I'm I hope this level of support just grows. I do believe some places should be un-touchable like churches, medical facilities and courtrooms and frankly —- arresting judges for doing their jobs just smacks of law and order completely gone awry. It is so NOT right and much of what we see should be laid at the likes of John Roberts feet.

    I hope he is having a super severe case of "what have I done-itis" right now. No one deserves it more. He needs to clean up his very serious mistake,

    I think the first time we saw this it was a little hard to imagine — almost seeming like it was a bit of a hysterical reaction for a problem that wouldn't be that bad. Well, things are changing fast.

    BREAKING: Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice enrages MAGA world by mocking Trump's disastrous Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as "dumb as a rock" in a brutal new interview.

    She's just saying what all of us are thinking...

    "Well, if you’re a white male Christian cisgender macho MAGA man, you can be as dumb as a rock and be deemed qualified to serve as Secretary of Defense. That’s apparently what we’ve learned from this episode,” Rice told podcast host Brian Taylor Cohen on No Lie With BTC.

    Her assessment is spot on. Hegseth has been an unmitigated catastrophe as Defense Secretary, the most incompetent man to ever hold the job. From his clueless behavior in the SignalGate scandal to the dogged allegations of him being a raging alcoholic, this man clearly should not be in a position of power.

    Rice also tore into the Trump administration for firing people of color from high-ranking positions in the military under the pretense of getting rid of "DEI." Hegseth has defended the terminations, saying that "any general" that "was involved" with "DEI woke shit" has "got to go."

    "DEI has been used as a slur to suggest that anybody who might be a woman, might be a person of color, might be a religious minority, might have a disability … might be a veteran of Native descent, anybody who has benefited in any way, shape, or form from the notion that we all should be treated equally and that we should be viewed on the basis of our merits and not discounted because we happen to be a woman or happen to be a person of color," said Rice.

    "Anybody who fits the mold of somebody who is not a white Christian cisgender male, is by definition in this administration, deemed inferior," she said.

    It's time for Hegseth to go and for someone competent and qualified to step into his job. Until that happens, America is not safe.

    No one is rushing to 'replace' Hegseth. In fact, it seems for the moment he is safe, but I do think he is worried. I've read things that suggest just that. He is rather unpleasant to people in his ofc. and work environment and opines that he just can't be let go. So, he is aware that he has made himself a target. I'm not sure how much more pressure needs to come or is Trump at a point where he is so indecisive that he CAN'T actually SEE what needs to be done.

    The fact would still remain that since strong qualifications for the position are not a factor in Trump's world, we likely would not be much better off and might even be a bit worse. So while Hegseth should certainly go, I worry about what we would be subjected to afterwards.

    Yes I definitely voted for both these ladies. Why we let them lose I'll never quite understand. Someday soon when another just as brilliant comes along I hope we don't let the same happen again. It's well past time not to let this kind of great qualifications fall by the wayside.

    This just says it all about the moral arc of justice. When you know what is right, you can do what is right. It's so much easier to live with yourself if you do.

    That's a good question Sen. Smith. I'm sure some will go along to get along, but I'd like to know as well — just who really sees this as the right thing to do. Right now, it seems like the Republican LAW AND ORDER has ended up going squarely down into the sewer. I hope we find a decent ending to this because surely the time for a LINE is her.

    An older one but it still applies so well.

    In today's rump world $ 5,000.00 isn't even a decent drop in the bucket, it's more of an insult in my book.

    The child was deported with the mother, but I think it is still a horrid brutality to have happen.

    A few facts about the man. Incredible that he is in the WH a second time with all the knowledge people have about him. Sure, says a lot about them too.

    It's the sign of the day and I'm in total agreement.

    This really looks like today. I don't think I'd EVER need a job so bad I'd be willing to be an ICE agent. A heart of real stone.

    Definitely the wrong people are being sent to El Salvador. Trump, his picks and Musk along with many of the hard right.
