He's going to announce his "department of war." He'll likely send Hegseth out there to do it, or Vance.

In their mid- to late-m80s, both my mom and aunt can tell you about the horrors of polio and how they eagerly lined up and waited for hours for the vaccine.

Try again, Bill. He wants to say this regardless of what any professionals cough up: "I got them to explain it better and vaccines are OK." AND "I finally got them to admit vaccines are a disaster." ~~~~~ This way, he can use whichever assertion fits the situation.

I saw this live. It was so stunning, but rest assured Raddatz quickly moved along and later spent lots and lots and lots more time deriding Governor Wes Moore's military service. Utterly revolting, all of it.

The progression of reacting to Trump's 2nd term: 1. Hope legislators will contain him. (hahaha) 2. Hold onto hope for the courts. (um ... ) 3. Look to other countries to defy him. (sigh) 4. Oh well, let's just wait for him to croak.

That sure seems to be the case; Americans are going to have very strong opinions about subjugation when it knocks on their door. I also keep thinking of Trump's big bad military parade. It turned out to be a bunch of completely affable military sorts waving and walking/riding down the street.
