Trump Considers DeSantis for Defense Secretary as His Support for Hegseth Falters

Not sure. He clearly has eyes on the presidency and I could see him think that being a successful defense secretary in addition to a large state governor as helping his qualifications. Senator is at best a lateral move and perhaps a step back in his bid for the presidency,
Yeah, but Senator doesn't come with term limits (I'm assuming he can't run again for Florida governor). Plus Senators can't get fired at Trump's whim.
 
What are defining as "confinement" in this case.
They were taken off the street in San Antonio and put on a plane. It's a little difficult to get off once they were aboard. If they were not permitted to leave, that would fit "confinement".

Seem like a reach but fair enough.
It fits the definition perfectly.

con·fine

verb

/kənˈfīn/
  1. keep or restrict someone or something within certain limits of (space, scope, quantity, or time).
 
Ron has served overseas and been a JAG Officer as well. A former Congressman, he knows how things run.
CNN also hinted at Senators Joni Ernst from Iowa and Bill Haverty from TN but this morning it seems the Governor is emerging as the strongest candidate. I’d be sorry to see him leave early but he’s done a lot for the State already.
Do you know what a JAG officer is? Seriously, they are GI’s babysitters that represent the GIs when they get into trouble in a foreign country.

They have never “served “. They are a special class that is given a uniform and title because they are doctors, lawyers and dentists.

Good lord, even the MAGAs in my family would crack up about someone being a JAG.

So they don’t take the oath? They don’t wear a uniform? No junior rank and file ever salutes them?
They’re not subject to military codes of conduct?
It’s amazing that you are off on this tangent and are disparaging these men and women.
Sad.

Really? I grew up in the environment. I speak to my brother regularly. What I said has come my conservative father and my brother from there more than 30 years of service.

And, for the record, all our cars were saluted on base, even mine.
 
I’m just shocked (and knowing you for a number of years) that a self proclaimed “military brat” would trash anyone in one of those professions who decided to serve their country in one of these capacities.
My daughter in law’s Father is a retired Navy physician who served his country faithfully. He could have made more money in private practice but decided to serve.

And how old is he?

It worked very different during Vietnam.

It worked very different during Vietnam.
And in every conflict throughout history. Military docs have been vital in treating the injured and many medical advances made as a result of those experiences.
I wouldn’t dream of disparaging any American for serving their country in any capacity.

That can't be right. I read Brian Haig's Sean Drummand series years ago and Sean was a badass.

Kidding aside, it's a great series.

This is why people confuse you with a MAGA. They are humans, and DeSantis chose to use them for a stunt, which you applaud. Real men don’t need to abuse and torment people.
Sending people to Martha’s Vineyard is abuse and torment?

Exaggerate much?

Kind of a Colonel Jessup vibe going on here.

Unknowingly and unwillingly? Yes. Would you feel differently if it were a member of your family being flown to a place on the promise of a job (which was a lie), where they didn't know where they were or what was going to happen next? Would you approve of that stunt?

If I took the chance of coming into a country illegally the whole thing is really sort of a roll of the dice. Were they murdered or enslaved?

They were blatantly lied too. They were taken advantage of. Two wrongs don’t make a right”right” mom. The moral folks of Florida should have been embarrassed. Maybe they were… but there just aren’t that many “moral” folks who live there? The need to cry “Foul” is obviously greater than the need to do the right thing. Real Christianity is truly an uphill battle to be fought every day in a million different ways that most often are never in the headlines. Jesus worked well behind the scenes.

You entertain us every day. Don’t stop. 🤣
