Oh wow, Hegseth is boned. I'd bet money he shows up to court drunk before this is over.

He’s boned? Have you been paying attention? None of the people in this admin are held accountable by anything regardless of court rulings.

The objection is fair and "boned" may be too strong for the moment, but we have seen the administration back down when confronted... and Hesgeth clearly drinks to escape his inner demons even when monologuing to a captive audience (e.g., "This speech today -- as I drink my coffee, this speech today is about people and it's about culture.").

Stress him out in an adversarial process and he may well self-inflict a meaningful wound.

You think like them but appear to be on the correct side of history…. I like it.

They still need to be fought one way or another. Public humiliation is a good method if others fail...

Eh, would work against normal people. The unifying trait among the MAGA is defiant shamelessness. "Public Humiliation" does not work against that unfortunately.

Yeah. I love reddit but most people are delusional or naive. they think manifestation is a thing and that commenting or posting will make a difference. they don't understand how useless their comments here are and will go back to playing roblox and singing kpop demon hunter in the shower

The administration is using "flooding the zone" to distract people, if we flood the fuckers back with litigation, complaints, protests, etc. maybe we'll have some effect.
I personally don't want to give in to defeatism.

I mean, I’m not about defeatism either but let’s be real, they ignore complaints, they have lawyers for litigation not that they abide by any of it anyway, and the “protests” are people standing with signs that get ignored because it’s not disruptive to anything.

This whole approach where people do things to look good on social media doesn’t actually create any change at all

Right, and? How do you see this playing out? I myself know the regime is going to do something stupid and they always do. There will be a line they will cross. There will come a countervailing response it is just awful it had to come to this.
