The Worst Thing Trump Did on 4/23/25

I could go with Trumpo frantically screaming "DO OVER" to China, as he's pretty much begging for them to stop HIS trade war, but it's a revelation that came to light on Wednesday, which takes today's cake.

Lloyd Austin was President Biden's Secretary of Defense.  During his term, he kind of disappeared for three days.  It was discovered he was dealing with a medical issue and didn't want to alert the world to the issue.  This was a mistake, as he should have said something to Biden and the Administration about it.

Needless to say, Republicans went CRAZY! They called for him to be prosecuted for dereliction of duty and "abandoning his post." There were calls for committee hearings, and in the House, the eager to attack Republicans initially tried to villify him before realizing berating someone for being medically ill was not the "Christian" look they were trying to imitate.

Now we find out that a much worse situation happened with 'the Drunk' Pete Hegseth. 

Early in Secretary of Defense Hegseth's tenure, the White House needed him to sign a memo.  The memo ended up sitting on Hegseth's desk for three weeks; THREE WEEKS! Why was it there so long?  Apparently, the White House could not find him or get in touch with him FOR THREE WEEKS! This has been confirmed: the Secretary of Defense was AWOL for three weeks!  It wasn't like he disappeared, as the media did cover some of his movements at times.  He just avoided the White House like the plague, never returning the White House's calls!!!

Was he convening a group of his drinking buddies in secret to talk about how they could bring a white male power structure back to the military, while guzzling brown liquor by the caseful?  I wouldn't bet against it.

Most of those same Republicans who went apesh!# about Austin are still members in the House and Senate.  So far, they have not expressed any concern about this dereliction of duty, or the 5000 other derelictions of duty Hegseth has achieved in such a short period of time.
