It's hard to think how far we've fallen

[Horse with no Name]

If I was a felon, I would not have a career.
If I acted like Hegseth in an interview, I wouldn’t get a job and likely would be escorted out by security.
The government is literally a frat party by a bunch of drunks and rapists.
I expect our allies will not share sensitive info with us. I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t trust them to handle my fast food meal.
It’s so sad.
Even if we win in the next few years, putting things back to normal will take years.

1. 100% agree. I thought I had prepared myself for this, but

I'm freaking out. This is terrifying and soul crushing and he hasn't even taken office yet.

2. The clean up job after these four(?) years,...

..... will be an astronomical endeavor. Everything will be turned upside down.

3. I have to listen to festering lumps of human protoplasm

like Perjury Traitor Gangrene defile Congressional proceedings with her foul mouth (she can’t help her ugly face) and her brainless redneck blather.

I keep thinking I should pull a reverse Preston Brooks, and beat those hillbilly assholes half to death with a cane.

4. Indeed.

I have to wonder if today's crooked, power-grabbing GQPers were raised without any scruples at all. Maybe all that mattered was greed and domination. Thanks Raygun and Confederates.

5. with Hegspeth and Gabbard, no fucking WAY will sensitive info be shared

these clowns are putting America in danger - the world's dictators must be creaming themselves

[progressoid]

6. To be clear, one party has a monopoly on drunks and racists.

I'd add idiots to that list.

It's no secret that capital hill is chock full of morons.

7. The closer we get

the sadder I become. I can't help but think of my father who was the example of ethical behavior for me. He would be crushed by this decline so I am glad he is not here to see it. The contrast is so much I think he would have a hard time believing it.

I am seeing the frat boys and sycophants who don't have any depth to deal with the jobs before them. Not only is their ideology cruel and depraved but their incompetence will be tolerated.

So many have sacrificed for this country and that is not just the military. We are heartbroken and in mourning for our country.

8. That scene at Arlington was prescient.

It'll be 4 years of "Let's play back offices at the Fox newsroom". I thought he'd end up 1-2 votes short, so count me overly optimistic.

9. When Trump is gone, we really need

An entire Federal government review and purge of Trump loyalty.

[Horse with no Name]

10. Agreed

We should have had it when Biden won
