Real men are unpretentious, honest, confident, intelligent, competent, brave, and calm. From Trump on down, these men aren’t close to that.

BLUMENTHAL: Was the Capitol attacked on J6?
TRAYNOR: The actions on January 6 were deeply troubling to watch, but I'm not going to characterize it
B: You are perpetuating a lie. I don't know how you can continue as a district court judge, let alone serve on court of appeals. Frankly it's shameful.

If Spencer Pratt didn't exist, they'd have to invent him.
Hegseth refusing — and continuing to refuse — to call Mormons "Christian" is a real leopards-eating-faces moment.
