Seriously, the story is not what he can do legally with regard to airspace.

The story is that the person with access to the nuclear football and no congressional oversight can’t be someone who says things like this
The deranged madman now threatens to blow up commercial airliners flying in and out of Venezuela.

Again, 25th amendment. This is not something a coherent person says.

Doesn’t matter if it’s all an act, because what matters is that this is how he’s acting.

And play video games!
Pigs can play video games with their snouts, scientists find
Despite poor vision and a severe lack of thumbs, Hamlet and other pigs could learn to be gamers.

Put plainly, he’s an opportunistic psychopath. He sought this job because of the promise of war crimes.
Opportunistic psychopaths are often attracted to fascist movements because they want permission to murder innocent people.

When Amon Göth killed my grandfather’s cousin in Plaszow, he did so w/o reason or warning. He just felt like killing someone. So he took out his gun and shot Roman in the head.
Hegseth - and the people carrying out his orders - need to be tried in The Hague for this

Yes. This. Thank you

Also your commentary is hilarious

I know he sucks in a lot of ways but I still kinda want to be him when I grow up.

Ahh ha ha ha. Touché.

At the time I couldn’t understand why my wife chose HLS over Yale. As in most things (including the substance itself) she was way ahead of me.

If still struggling with this, just imagine Donald Trump’s fave, the late great Hannibal Lecter, was secretary of defense.

Would you bother citing the Geneva convention or would you say “I can’t believe that cannibal ate my face?”

(Some of the smartest human beings I’ve ever met also graduated from Princeton, too.)

One of Princeton’s worst, among a surprisingly big pool of horrendously dumb alums.

A lot of really smart people are taking the bait.

But look, if they didn’t think it was murder, they wouldn’t be doing it.

He wouldn’t have ordered it if it wasn’t murder. Hegseth is in the job because he wants to murder people.

wait do you have reason to believe people dislike Fleetwood Mac?

Ah yes. The great “311” conspiracy of the mid 1990s.

“Quite large with high turnover” is a detail I return to in a lot of imagined scenarios. Of course we see how one attempt at that turned out with the House of Representatives.
