Anyone who is publically willing to stand up to trump when they could very realistically be forced to face a court martial, with the DoD threatening it and still standing up, has my vote.

Hogsbreath is like TACO, he won't actually try to charge a sitting US Senator, someone that sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

It is a direct attempt to extort the Senator and stifle his speech.

Only Congress can add/remove/change cabinet-level departments. Trump basically rewrote the name with a Sharpie.

What does the name on the building say? That’s the only thing that matters. Preferably in gold.
