It will still suck no matter what, and maybe they’ll actually pull off more than I think, but I have hope that their shenanigans won’t lead to anything _truly_ catastrophic for the country (in the long term at least). ---

Okay, how many of these decisions he’s making now are based on: _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-trump-administration-the-clusterfuck-continues-part-1/1010068/32))_ ---

I was mildly surprised to see that Pete Hegseth (who I have never heard of before) actually served in the military. ---

I’m starting to get the feeling a number of prominent “trumplicans”, shall we say, were in the military; they didn’t actually serve. Well, they served themselves. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > I’m starting to get the feeling a number of prominent “trumplicans”, shall we say, were in the military; they didn’t actually serve. I think he did, he saw some war action even. But it’s true about serving himself because years ago he ran a veterans PAC that reportedly spent most of its money on throwing parties for friends (which believe it or not was legal). So clearly he’s going to fit right in to Trump’s camp ---

He doesn’t need one. He’s got flunkies to rake the sand traps. ---
