And I had heard they could move some jobs, and decrease the pay of those jobs.

Dude, I know all about his record. I just can’t believe that this is the best Chump can do as far as Sec of Defense. I thought he hires the best.

Lloyd Austin was considered a DEI hire from the get go who forgot more about the military than Hegseth will ever know.

Well, on the flip side, you could say they’ve missed a lot of shots so…that’s why they have high rebounding numbers 🫣 😂

Take a lot of 3pt shots and you get a lot of long bounces outside of the lane. It would make sense they have more rebounds and possessions with as many missed shots from deep as they have.

Bobinski needs to go before Walters

If bobinski doesn't fire walters this season I 100% agree. I didn't like the walters hire 2 or so years ago, for a myriad of reasons key among them defensive minded coach wouldn't be able to keep good offensive coord in w. Lafayette.

But I don't blame him 100% because the coaching cycle was in the late season. Fickle to wisc. Satt to Cincinnati, brohm to lville. There wasn't any purdue guys left so we took a gamble on a young unproven coordinator. It's fine but there should have been someone helping him hire his coaching staff. Harrell was a red flag 2 years ago as if you asked a wvu fan they wanted his lack of air raid offense out the door.

That said you can gamble but you have to evaluate it after each year and this year by week 6 it was clear we need to cut. If he is trying to save a few million that speaks to his leadership. We can't compare Walter to Hazell firing process as purdue was in flux with dova to mitch and Morgan Burke imminent retirement.

But the Defense is as bad or worse than the offense.......Shouldn't Kane be fired as well, even though he is calling the vaunted CRW Defense the way that CRW is telling him to call..... It's a pretty messy situation to resolve.

I hope so but I doubt it. They are safe within their union and massive bureaucratic protections.

Only real funding cuts or attrition can drive them out - and why would anyone retire from a government job?

In fairness, some of those jobs will be very important now - border patrol and ICE, for example.

Are they safe if the whole department is done away with, closed & canceled and all fired?

Would be like shutting up a business, Union does them no good then I believe??

Then interviewing begins for a new office -handling the very limited sort of essentials of all closed Depts. Call it the.....Office of Administration. They handle the functioning needs but can make no regulations. Essential functions are added as departments are closed....one after another.

That's the way to knock them off, one by one. How about one a month for 4 years....yes, like that alot.

Bob read my post.
We were talking fuel costs pre covid when the economy was humming.
Inflation was around 2% and when Biden took office it was around 1.4%
Click to expand...
I'll take your word for the inflation numbers. Gas was really cheap in '21 too. Know what? It was that way in almost every developed country in the world because there was one overwhelming factor........and it wasn't because trump was running the world.

The oil went up and inflation went up, all over the world. Was Biden in charge of the world economy?

I did read your post. You said,"I was going to post the links to show that Biden inherited 1.4% inflation and gas prices preCovid, when the economy was humming, were at or below $2.00."

Maybe you didn't type what you really meant to say or you were just being purposefully vague. The ramifications of Covid were yet to come. You didn't mention that part did you?

Do you believe if trump had been re-elected inflation and oil would have stayed at those levels despite Covid affecting the economies of the rest of the world? We would somehow be different?

Not sure an athletic Alabama team is a good matchup for Berg, he’s slow.

This is the time you find out those things. Many said the same about Zach in his early years. Yes, he's older, but still hasn't seen the floor much at any advanced level of hoops. He doesn't seem so mechanical when you watch drills of him so I suspect like a lot of newbies things are happening very quickly for him on the floor. he's not played nearly enough to be past that and playing relaxed and free and not over thinking specific situations and where I'm supposed to be when X man goes corner, ect ect.
Until then, you can't tell. he's spending time processing his reaction. Slowing down everything he does.
I'm encouraged with the glimpses of him playing BIG he's shown us at this early stage.
I certainly think he'll develop the lob game with Braden and Fletcher, same as DJ was. And that will stoke his confidence like a wood burning stove I think. Well hope anyway. But I think a decent chance of it. I think Big Red could be a fan favorite if he's throwing it down and getting excited. Caleb and Raleigh can be solid rotation guys. Hoping Will can give us the post threat other than TKR. Every good team needs more than 1 guy there.
I think in time he can.

Considerably poor judgement.

Which is worse. Getting ill and being hospitalized without telling anyone where no one died. No one was injured. The sun still rose in the east and set in the west. Or as in Rumsfeld, sending US troops to 2 senseless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan on a lie that there were weapons of mass destruction in IRAQ. Killing over 7,000 US soldiers and maiming tens of thousands more for life.

The bottom line is that Chump brags all the time that he hires the best and Hegseth is the best that he can do? Give me a break. I bet you that the entire Pentagon is collectively scratching their heads right now.

After all of the responsibilities a Secretary of Defense has to deal with literally night and day, all that you can come up with to undervalue Austin as a DEI hire is that he did not tell anyone that he was hospitalized is sad and the fact that you are reaching. You are grasping for straws so bad just to justify the Faux News co-host as qualified to be Sec of Def.
