(8,693 posts)but with so much dumb going on everywhere, I cannot recall what it was.
President Hegseth?
Attilatheblond
(8,693 posts)Keep thinking it was something in the Christian Nationalist style, and/or about schools.
But the President Hegseth is probably landed him in Trump's crosshairs. The DHS slot is a quagmire so, not a good gig. Could be punishment as now he will have to sit in on all those 'Say good things about Trump' meetings, AKA stink-a-rama

(8,693 posts)but not the one I am trying to recall.
Pretty obvious the man has foot in mouth disease. This ought to be amusing. Bet the Late Night TV Guys are happy as a horse in tall clover.

(15,788 posts)Or is there a vacancy? Any OK DUers have knowledge of the process there?
I'm not holding my breath that a Dem can pick up the seat, but these are interesting times.

(74 posts)I lived there for a while in my youth- Enid. Gotta say not much diversity there, at least at that time. And nothing that I recall as being great.

(25,662 posts)I have known two people from there.
Both were women. Both were very religious.
One was conservative. The other was liberal.

(15,788 posts)Talk to everyone. Contest every race. Especially now that Trump is such a drag on the party everywhere.

(23,671 posts)do it. McConnell tried to whip up the KY legislature to change the rules so Gov Andy couldn't nominate a Democrat to HIS senate seat if he retired.

(22,480 posts)Maerkwayne Mullin is an enrolled member of the Cherokee nation. Trump would look pretty silly if he tried to accuse Mullin of being a fake Cherokee.
Fun fact: Oklahoma has one of the highest concentrations of Native Americans in the U.S., with approximately 16% of its population identifying as Native American. That's because the Oklahoma Territory (known as Indian Territory at the time) is where most of the southeastern tribes were forcibly relocated under Pres. Andrew Jackson (Trump's favorite president, btw) during the 1830s. There are 38 federally recognized tribal nations headquartered in Oklahoma, and the Cherokee Nation is the largest! with over 300,000 citizens.

Hes been repeatedly accused of insider trading. Not that thats a disqualification in this administration.

(3,053 posts)Yep. THAT ABOUT COVERS THEY KIND OF APPOINTEE HE WILL BE. Another constant litany of "what about-isms" and no straight answers. Trump taught all of his appointees well.

(13,136 posts)Could they have picked a more sickeningly propagandist title declaring their authoritarian imperialist ambitions?
I'm sure Noem will be rewarded with a massive propaganda budget for this "initiative." No more worries about misspent dollars in self-promoting advertising (hey, Trump gave it to me)

Among the 100 current senators, 78 have at least one graduate degree. Republican Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma is the lone senator without at least a bachelorâs degree.
This made me smile
