George Will: "Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement. ... The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself" www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Regarding Venezuela, Ukraine and much more, Trump and his acolytes are worse than simply incompetent.

I didn't realize that the pro-eugenics natalist couple that was inexplicably profiled by several major outlets for having a lot of kids through IVF started a podcast. Here's an unlistenable episode where they try and argue that Hitler was a hipster and not "right wing."

Rich Lowry is a bigoted piece of shit whose existence makes America a worse place. He's vapid patrician gentility used to mask gutter racism. He's a Brooks Brothers pocket square used to wipe Nick Fuentes' ass.

It’s just going to be wide open, unapologetic bigotry from here on out.

I wrote about the dirty, demeaning, absolutely booming business of turning something like a shitty bigoted college essay into a shitty public career as a bigot, and also estimated how old Marine Todd would be today. defector.com/the-conserva...

That Pentagon *press corps* performance with Matt Gaetz and Laura Loomer among those asking questions feels like a pretty good indicator of how far over the cliff we are. Worth checking out. 🇺🇸

1. This is not what fog of war means.
2. There is no war
3. He's trying to distance himself from murders he had direct responsibility over
4. All I can think of when I hear this phrase now is Elon Musk complaining that he hates chess because it has no fog of war.
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?

HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

What I'm hearing is that Donald Trump choose to allow hurricanes in his first term?

While Cabinet members praise his energy and fitness, Trump sleeps.

No satire in the history of film and television has ever been this on the mark.

Not that I necessarily believe him here, but "I set expectations that the entire chain of command would go ahead and do blatant war crimes even without my explicit instruction" seems worse
Hegseth: "I watched that first strike live. As you can image at the Dept of War, we've got a lot of things to do. So I didn't stick around for the hour to 2 hours, whatever, where all the sensitive sight exploitation digitally occurs. I moved on to my next meeting. A couple hours later I learned..."
