LOL-- the sine qua non of a "hostile workplace environment".
Trump has another month or two and the remainder of his term will be largely settled as to possible outcomes. The traditional period is "the first 100 days". After the installation of a new administration and a "honeymoon period", opposition to changes begins to harden and further changes become much more difficult or even impossible.
The same dynamic works with the officials that Trump appointed to the various agencies. They have a limited amount of time to make changes in their agencies. Those changes generally require firings.
More firings and early firings are a good sign.
OK
I take it you see no difference between 3 months and 4 months. Fine with me.
Well...at least 3 more homes going on sale in the D.C. Region. /S
I believe Trump has a limited amount time to make effective changes and it is not very long. After that time, most of the changes are self-sustaining and do not require much effort to continue. But adding more changes gets difficult or impossible.
Whether that time period is 3,4,5 or 6 months I cannot say, and a precise definition is not possible. The cutoff time is also somewhat arbitrary. But as much as possible must be changed as soon as possible. There is no "eleven-dimensional chess game" that will yield successful results in two years or four years if only we are patient.
You only win in the long run if you win all of the short runs first.
Trump has already accomplished much more than I had expected, and I am pleased with most of the results so far. What I did not understand until very recently is how big the project truly is (to "drain the swamp") and how much change is still required. The doctrine of Judicial Supremacy is a serious obstacle in the immediate term which must be overcome.
I think it goes right along with "An armed society is a polite society". You have to admit there's a lot of rope that needs stretching these days.
OK
I was only referring to the recognition of the difference between 3 months and 4 months in terms of calenderic math. Your points may be valid but are a different subject altogether.
Could be a compilation of multiple leaks, later assembled by “journalists”...
In that case he is correct. 4/20 - 1/20. 3 months. I assume you are operating on the premise that January the first month is month zero.
The only legacy media reporting I’ve seen on this so far this morning frames it as “more Hegseth incompetence.”
No surprise.

Three Department of Defense aides who were allegedly involved in the leaking of classified government information.
Good sign that the deep stat is becoming unglued.

This Is What I Voted For
correct, thanks
I’m the one who said it has been 3 months. :)
