It appears that Trump may lose the liquor licenses he holds for his golf courses in New Jersey. While unlikely to have a significant impact on the election, his loss of these licenses would have the added benefit of making me giggle.

GOP operatives are helping Cornel West get on the ballot in key states, in case you had any remaining doubt as to exactly what his "presidential campaign" is about.

Probably because negative attention is still attention. Just a guess.

Let me guess: Baron has bone spurs.
Quote:Talk of mandated national service percolates among former Trump advisers
Don’t get nervous, young folks, but talk about a national service mandate has been bubbling up again in Washington.
Such talk has been particularly vigorous among key advisers to Donald Trump as he begins what he hopes will be his transition back to the White House. Of course, talk of mandated national service is one step away from that dreaded term — the draft.
Christopher Miller, who led the Pentagon during the last tumultuous days of Donald Trump’s presidency, thinks a national service requirement should be “strongly considered.” He detailed his vision for military and civilian readiness as part of Project 2025, the conservative Heritage Foundation’s latest book of federal policy recommendations that they have been publishing for presumptive Republican presidential nominees since Ronald Reagan.
Miller, a retired Green Beret, is among the most outspoken about mandating national service and taking other steps to improve military readiness. He sees a “crisis” facing our all-volunteer military. Although Trump has not formally endorsed this latest Heritage strategy document, he eagerly embraced the organization’s proposals in his first term.

That would be campaign gold in October. Mute the audio and run 30 seconds of video of silent Trump blah-blahing in an orange jumpsuit. At the bottom of the picture the credit, "Courtesy of [insert prison name here]." The only audio on this ad would be at its very end: "This message is approved by Joe Biden".
It's almost like they cannot see outside their own box.

I'm old enough to remember when fragging was a problem in the military that was largely solved by going all volunteer.
