      Wait, I thought he promised to stop drinking if he was confirmed as secretary of defense. He wouldn’t lie, would he? So he must be this stupid sober.

    Doesn’t matter. His boss did it with visitors to maralago, and didn’t suffer any consequences. Why would this be any different? Not like congress, the Senate or the judicial branch will do anything about it.

    There’s a saying when you work around this stuff, the gist of it is, “20 years hard labor or death…. Some get both….”

    Accountability for everyone else and none for these fucks I guess yet again huh?

      Who is going to hold them accountable? The US political system has proven time and time again that it is completely devoid of checks and balances, since they were implemented purely with “good faith” as the regulatory principle.
