2/ Sharlet:

Not a good time to be a woman in the military under new Sec Def Pete Hegseth (formerly a stalled major), who repeatedly speaks of it as a place for "normal men." Black women will face even more trouble. And here is a Pentagon leader openly attacking US troops..

New Sec Def Hegseth describes as the twin enemies of US "radical Islam" and... former commander in chief Obama. This is civil war talk

3/ Sharlet:

Pete Hegseth, soon to be the second only to Trump in command of the most powerful military in U.S., declares liberals, leftists, Democrats, even Presidents of the U.S. "domestic enemies." He doesn't mean it as a figure of speech.

4/ Sharlet:

I wanna emphasize that tho I'm a journalist, reading chap. 1 of Hegseth's new book on the military isn't any kind of special reporting. I'm just reading. Why aren't journalists on the beat digging in? Habit of assuming that powerful fascists don't really mean what they say

@GottaLaff I keep hoping that this batch, like the batches before them, will be so underqualified and overwhelmed that they’ll eventually just flame out. Or will be unwilling or unable to polish the Dope In Chief’s shoes to an adequate shine and get canned in one or two Scaramuccis.

@adhdeanasl @GottaLaff
George Conway said much the same thing today.

@trumpresistance I can’t decide if that’s a compliment or an insult @GottaLaff

Let's say your observation was validated by someone with a really Big megaphone!
