Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He's a battle-hardened war veteran. The war in question being his war against common sense, empathy and sanity.
Slavish devotion and fealty
Well… playing devil’s advocate here… I’d argue that DeSantis is markedly more qualified than Hegseth. DeSantis has at least performed the duties of an administrator and has an understanding of how to operate a bureaucracy.
How well he’s been able to do these things is completely up to debate. But when comparing the two to each other, DeSantis is the no brainer pick.
AND once Ronnie falls out of Donny’s good graces, he’ll be out of a job, and out of Tallahassee…
And DeSantis's military experience is far more useful for an administrator role. Not that DeSantis's role in Quantanimo Bay was good, but it was in a higher level role.
Remeber guantanamo bay torture camps? Guess who was in charge of writing the legal rational for that.
Yes, Florida would get rid of him, but you don't want him in charge of the US arms forces.
I honestly can't tell if that would be slightly better or significantly worse.
The turd that burns twice as bright stinks half as long.
More effective, in all that entails.
As a liberal I will feel so fucking owned if Trump ~~gets rid of~~ selects the Governor of Florida.
From one woefully incompetent, unqualified asshat to another woefully incompetent, unqualified, lies about wearing lifts asshat.
