Hegseth is as batshit as Trump if you read through Aaron’s thread this morning, Here’s a guy who relishes death and destruction - he sounds like a psychopath triumphalist. No measured words and tones here. Disturbing to have such a man second in charge of so much military power.

it… we are punching them while they are down"
Sounds like they’re eager to do war crimes. Hope not.
Crushing our enemies, driving them before us, and hearing the lamentations of their women.
" 5 is right out!"
I hope that he will hurry on to a future of squeegeeing car windshields on one of the Lincoln Tunnel’s access roads.
ETA: I had hoped that the end of the Iraq misadventure signalled a moving on from these petro-industry driven imperial projects. Boy was I mistaken.
Really disturbing kind of dude.
“…they will be beaten, like a dog!”
He’s Making the Crusades Great Again.
Jesus. How about John Cornyn? You know, literally the other guy in the race. While I’m no fan of Cornyn, he’s certainly not the corrupt PoS Paxton is. It just goes to prove, once again, that these self-proclaimed Bible thumpers can rationalize anything.

Pete is as rabid as a member of an Avar horde, without any of the virtues.
I’ll guess he’s also the type who’ll curse his victims as “ingrates” when they run us out of their countries and blackball this country.
My understanding is that the TX legislature gerrymandered her district away. She’s too good to be on the sidelines.
The people of this country will be paying for this misadventure at the pump, through utility bills and through raised taxes into the foreseeable future.
As best I can gather, the scheduled beneficiaries would appear to be the arms industry, all principals in the petrobusinesses, Trump, Org. and its toadies.
That’s some national interest there, eh?
Ouch. I am sorry for her.
That tells me the Texas legislature repubs are afraid of her
DOJ trying to shield their attorneys from being disbarred from doing disbarrable stuff.

The Justice Department has proposed a regulation seeking to authorize Attorney General Pam Bondi’s intervention to suspend state bar ethics investigations into current and former DOJ lawyers.
