I've watched Pete Hegseth testify and anyone who does so with an open mind, will readily see that he is a toxic caricature. He has delusions that he is starring in a war movie.
He is arrogant and ignorant. His narrative never has any depth. He speaks as if what's good and what's right are not even complex subjects, or debates borne of perspective.
He loves American Exceptionalism but believes that it's only defined by musculature and pomposity. He couldn't care less for us being a shining example for others, or a force for a greater good. He couldn't care less for sharing strategy or being accountable.
He creates lasting disdain for America on a global level like few others ever have and make no mistake - this disdain will permeate for generations.
He doesn't present arguments. He doesn't share justifications. He doesn't care for transparency, and the only thing he cares less for than that, is humanity.
As a behaviorist, I can feel the things he's been accused of - like alcoholism and misogyny and reckless sharing of info - underlying his attitude and every utterance, and you can feel how unapologetic he is for any of it.
He is a brazen politician serving an audience of one.
He is a Made for TV concoction, and a vacuous mishmash of hormones and neurotransmitters.
That he's running the US Defense Dept. is incredibly disgraceful, dangerous and disturbing.
OSSOFF Speaking in Atlanta
Ossoff: I don’t know if you saw, but I had the opportunity to question the president’s nominee to be Director of National Intelligence.
And I asked Mr. Clayton, the nominee, a very simple question. I asked him who had won the 2020 presidential election.
He was unable—he was unwilling—to answer that question truthfully under oath.
Because it’s like an initiation, right? It’s like the cost of admission to Donald Trump’s inner circle is that you must prove you are willing to lie to Congress.
So he sat there—you can watch the tape—he sat there over and over and over again, refusing to state a basic fact because that is what his boss demanded of him.
And it was a basic fact about American elections.
And this man is now in line, if he’s confirmed, to be the top intelligence officer in the United States.
Now remember who his predecessor has been: Tulsi Gabbard.
Y’all have heard that name because Tulsi Gabbard, the senior-most intelligence officer in the United States—not a law enforcement official, okay, the spy chief—was sent down to Georgia by the president to oversee the seizure of your ballots from an election facility here in Georgia.
When you reflect on the kinds of things that happen in corrupt and abusive governments around the world, when the security officials—okay, when the spy chief—is getting involved in ballot raids at election facilities, that’s a huge red flag.
And that the man he’s now appointed to replace her will not state under oath basic facts about recent elections, as the president gives these menacing primetime remarks signaling clearly his intent to attack the elections and to undermine voting rights, sends a chill down all of our spines—Democrats, independents, and Republicans.
It’s not enough just to win this fall. We have to win so decisively. We have to rebuke these abuses so clearly that no president for centuries will dare this kind of brazen abuse and corruption.
@TheRickWilson So basically what's happening is everything that those accused of having Trump Derangement Syndrome have been warning for ten years would happen. Funny that.
@TroyRiser@Antifa_Tubes@shalin43031@TheRickWilson@Rainbow_Girl29 Incorrect. Communists are people. You are just looking for reasons to enthusiastically murder other Americans for their political opinions.
(hence, anonymity)
Again, you want to see the closest thing to Soviet Style command economy in USA- look no further that the Trump Admin.
@TheRickWilson@dsjost 1. No problem, just get out of Ukraine 🇺🇦 first.
2. Accept pre-2014 borders
3. Accept to pay war reparations
4. Accept Criminal charges on Putin and his cronies

“I’m just saying [FBI Director] Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.” — Kash Patel (2023)
I’m shocked that Russia can crash a building onto sleeping families in a European capital, murdering 30 people, without any meaningful reaction from the world whatsoever.
