    Sure, well known for being a drunk. He was hired anyway because… Decoration, Drama, maybe even Diva or Doll.

    The safety, not to mention economic implications of this are out of this world. The tax payer will suffer but again , @Commodore and his treasonous bunch don’t care.

    These people want nothing more than a white evangelical supremacist state with the return of slavery

    He was hired because he's corrupt, he's a white nationalist (Nazi tattoos, even), and he looks good on TV. Perfect for Trump.

    U.S. preparing options for military strikes on drug targets inside Venezuela, sources say
    President Donald Trump has not approved any action yet, and the U.S. and Venezuela are talking through Middle Eastern intermediaries, sources told NBC News.

    Why not target the drug cartels in Mexico instead? Trump is weak and scared of Mexico's response.

    Sorry your very moniker shows that generally it is the righties who unduly worship war and the military industrial complex. I guess a solid C for effort. You tried. Bless you

    I’m not sure why you are mocking me. If you care to give me an explanation I would appreciate it.

    My point was simple. Trump and Hegseth are likely trying to ensure that in the near future, if he gives a command to do something crazy, there is a less likely chance that generals and admirals will stand in his way.

    Also if you look at history, you’ll see a long history of autocrats purging their ranks in the middle to ensure that when it comes to chain of command, their orders have much less roadblocks to pass through.

    I’m not sure why you found that worth mocking but if you care to respond with your counter instead of a fcking meme I would appreciate it.

    Why not target hard drug users in this country?

    Oh yeah... never mind. Let's just punch down as usual...

    Wealthy enclave's sewage reveals higher than average cocaine levels in the water
    By Michael Ruiz

    FOX News

    The sewage in New England's exclusive Nantucket retreat is full of cocaine, according to local authorities, who this summer began testing it to monitor potential drug use in a popular summer getaway for the rich and powerful.

    "During COVID, a lot of these communities, and most communities, decided that it was important for them to start testing the water to see if there were any spikes in COVID in the region." said Randolph Rice, a Maryland attorney and legal analyst. "But what Nantucket has now decided to do as of the beginning of the summer is to actually start testing for other types of substances, particularly drugs, nicotine and other items…within the system there. And what they're finding is that there is a high level of cocaine."

    The testing, conducted at the Surfside Wastewater Treatment Facility on Nantucket, found cocaine levels about 50% higher than the national average, according to publicly posted data from local authorities. The same tests found below-average levels of fentanyl, a deadly synthetic opioid blamed for overdoses around the country.
