Hegseth is an asshole...

“What I can say is we should not have local judges determining foreign policy or national security policy for the country,”

– Sec'y. of Defense Hegseth

NO judge is determining foreign policy, you simple-minded skidmark. They are ruling, quite rightly, on whether or not Trump and the rest of you evil, brainless mutants are BREAKING THE FUCKING LAW! Which you most definitely are. The statutes forbidding your repeated transgressions are not open to interpretation, and you rancid traitors DON’T get to decide which laws you’re willing to obey.
You liars are going to lose this conflict, and the more you escalate this, the worse it is going to be for you when it’s over. I, for one, would demand the maximum sentence as punishment for treacherous filth like you: Celebrating ALL the rest of your birthdays in a prison cell. Here's hoping those birthdays are few.

for any position outside of being a culture warrior on right wing news, but he's dangerous. He has all this lethal power under his thumb, and he's anxious to use it. We saw it with the Signal chats, we saw it when he rushed to recommend Marines, so that he could grovel to his boss.

That’s what happens when you take a military meant for fighting foreign wars and turn it on your own people.

That seems to be the goal of this administration, from the Oval Office down to every department.

Take the word SHOULD out of his vocabulary. He is totally unashamed to display his ignorance on any matter. Go back to your couch Pete and your liquor cabinet. You are way over your head, sadly needing a convicted felon as a crutch.

And dumb as a rock. That is a truly bad combination. He gets asked a straightforward question and, of course, he is caught flat footed. So what does he do? He flashes a smile, showing all of his pearly teeth, and starts giving his word salad answer. He says nothing but smugly smiles like he just gave the Gettysburg address. Dumb and arrogant. But boy is he impressed with his own abilities.

This guy is a nuisance. But he is dangerous, too. Lots of MAGAs will fall for his nonanswer. Anyone with a few brain cells to rub together can see through him. But then the MAGAs don’t have the required brain wattage to add 2+2.

to fix it up to standards. He replied with that smug condescending grin to the question about not being able to answer that "in this setting", as if it was classified. The Senator asking, and I can't recall who it was, said something to the effect of
"What do you mean you can't answer? You're talking to members of the appropriation committee, and we are the ones having to fricking authorize the payment for it"
