Let me translate from Fox Male Small Dick to English: Pete Hegseth admitted to blowing human beings into pieces who posed no threat. Yes, that’s what our cut-rate, frat-rat, dumb-bro Christian Nationalist masquerading as a serious person did.
Pete Hegseth Confessed to a War Crime — And America Shrugs
From Nuremberg to Trumpworld, Cliff Schecter dismantles the toxic normalization of atrocity — and demands the accountability our heroes fought for.

My brain is so perfect that I don't know why I got an MRI
Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results
Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.
Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

How’s the view from under the bus, Pete Hegseth?
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

This matches the lowest point President Joe Biden hit in the Gallup poll, which came after the very-not-good debate performance that led to him dropping out. Biden's highest-ever disapproval rating in the Gallup poll was 59%.

Welp, that should further fuck the nation right up the ol' wazoo.
NEW: President Trump tonight confirmed suspect in the shooting that critically injured two West Virginia National Guard members in D.C. is an Afghan national and vowed to step up his administration's hardline immigration crackdown.
Trump: National Guard shooting an "act of terror" by Afghan "flown in by the Biden admin"
Trump vowed his administration will "re-examine every single" immigrant who had entered the U.S. from Afghanistan under Biden.

Pete Hegseth is not the "secretary of war" just because he keeps using the term, any more than the Gulf of Mexico is the Gulf of America or Donald Trump is a great American. Saying so don't make it so.

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “
