... 'four sets of 47'. trump (sic) is the 47th pres, which makes it even more disgusting, and from my point of view, more unlikely that he did it at all. The whole exchange was a set-up by sen tim sheehy (sic), who is a piece of work himself. He was the guy who asked hegseth (sic) how many pushups he could do.

Re: sheehy (sic) ... I refuse to capitalize any of these m/f's names ...


Lied about a bullet wound (Afghanistan? Accidental discharge in national park?) "Sheehy wrote in his memoir and in a resume submitted to the Montana State Legislature that he had been medically discharged [from the Navy] due to wounds received in Afghanistan. In October 2024, an NBC News review of Sheehy's discharge paperwork found that Sheehy voluntarily resigned from commission, contradicting his claims that he was discharged from the military because of injuries he sustained on duty."

In 2023, Sheehy published a memoir, Mudslingers: A True Story of Aerial Firefighting. The Daily Montanan accused him of plagiarism in the book, giving four examples, the briefest a 27-word passage from Wikipedia.

He said that young women had been "indoctrinated" on the issue of abortion.

Recordings ... led to accusations that he had racially stereotyped Montana's Crow people. In one statement about how he ropes and brands cattle with Crow tribe members, he said it is "a great way to bond with all the Indians while they're drunk at 8 a.m." Tribal leaders requested an apology, but Sheehy declined.


Birds of a feather.
