One of the reasons servicemembers, from admirals and generals to the greenest private, should know “don’t follow illegal orders” is that this administration is a goulash of dishonorable character flaws like cowardice and dishonesty. There is no bus under which these pissants will not throw you.
NYT:
Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike
Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago):
“This is ‘protect Pete’ bullshit,”
and
“It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.”

When Biden gave the worst debate performance in history, my job as a neutral reporter was to write about it incessantly until he dropped out. When Trump gave the second worst debate performance in history, against Harris, my job was to lend credence to his claim that immigrants were eating pets.

I think the closest analogue to the Marjorie Taylor Greene/Tucker Carlson/Candace Owens movement is the Anti-Masonic party of the Jacksonian era: they may accidentally walk backwards into correct beliefs (Jackson/Trump is bad) but the underlying worldview is still absurd and dangerous

I think the key difference is between "let Dan Osborn cook" and "Everyone should be Dan Osborn"
a kind of funny thing about this thesis is that it's basically the same as the whole Ygelsias et al. 'moderate on cultural issues to win' thing with the serial numbers filed off. but for some reason this is based economic populism and not pathetic centrist selling out

this has been true and problematic for an appallingly long time regardless of the political viewpoint of any particular online mob that discovered they could harass university administrators into doing what they wanted
the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

The important thing is for the Steelers to learn nothing. They are where the are because of piss-poor QB play and leadership. But they will absolutely take a defensive lineman and a defensive back with their first two picks next year and run it all back with Kirk Cousins.
