I’ve been watching the Truth Social stock since it opened. For the last couple of months, it has held steady at about 40-42. It’s lost about 15% of its “value” since Thursday’s opening at 41.52. I think the shiney new polished turd smell has worn off. ---

OK, the boss of the military should at least meet the same standards. ---

Not really, no more than I expect my real life boss to be as versed in IT skills as I am. It’s not a given that every level of a hierarchy should include the requirements of the levels below it. That’s usually not practical and often not possible, and generally undesirable. ---

In this case the standard boils down to “Be a decent human being”. I think the boss should meet that. ---

The president of the United States is not actually a member of the military. He is, though, its commander-in-chief. It’s called “civilian control of the military”. > [@dougrb](#): > > OK, the boss of the military should at least meet the same standards. I see no purpose in that. The president is, after all, a civilian in a civilian position. > [@dougrb](#): > > In this case the standard boils down to “Be a decent human being”. I think the boss should meet that. I can get behind that, but, alas, that does not seem to be a constitutional requirement. @Johnny_L.A I like it! I’ve mentioned this before: every time I see that traitor clown saluting, I wonder how pathetic the “military school” he attended was if they could not teach him how to salute properly. ---
