Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

Too bad there's no opposition party that could relentlessly press the case against war.

People who believe in an imminent Rapture/Armageddon don't have anything invested in what happens to you here on Earth. You are irrelevant to them and will be treated accordingly.

Hey CNN, did it occur to you to ask Markwayne to name the "8 wars" that Trump is supposed to have ended? And how he claims to have done it?

Bet they're sorry now that they took "defense" out of the department name and penciled in "war." No, they probably don't care.

Exactly. When was the last time you heard someone refer to the "Korean police action." It was war, just like this one.

By the way, what happened in Venezuela? Haven't seen anything in the press about the new, wonderful, democratic government that replaced Maduro. Or are they just waiting for war in the Gulf to drive up oil prices and make it economical to process all the stolen VZ crude?

Does Hegseth ever say anything doesn't sound like a teenage bully trying to come up with the coolest threat ever? Never mind, asked and answered.

First, "radical liberal" is kind of an oxymoron. That aside, whoever they're talking to, I think we all know how much we hold them in contempt.

Some of the best coverage I've seen so far is in the international maritime news: gcaptain.com/the-first-36... Worth a look to get some perspective on what "4 weeks" could translate into for the global economy.

I'm assuming that's the same "credible intelligence" that fishing boats in the Caribbean were actually drug mules and that the people murdered by ICE were "domestic terrorists."

Compare AOC's statement to Schumer's. We desperately need to push out those ancient ineffectual Dems in charge.
