A very true quote from this article about Trump purging national security officials:
“If you had said in October that if Trump were elected he’d end up purging the NSC at the behest of Laura Loomer and ordering Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to fire the director of the NSA, you’d have been accused of having a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
'And yet, here we are.'
“The Pentagon's watchdog will investigate the Signal chat where Defense Secretary Pete #Hegseth discussed details of an attack on Houthi militants” #SignalGate

Pentagon-Chef nimmt zum ersten Mal am Rammstein-Treffen nicht teil
Dann kann Hegseth wenigstens im Suff keine Geheimnisse in irgendwelchen "Signal-Chatgruppen " ausplaudern.

Rules of engagement for armed conflict can fortify service members against “moral injury.” Some former military leaders say the current focus on “war fighting” could undermine effectiveness. #Hegseth #military #Trump

#Trump fires incompetent NSA Waltz for adding the journalist from The Atlantic to #SignalGate and fires #SECDRUNK #Hegseth for sending the classified information over non-approved commercial messaging app.
Trump said he made a mistake hiring unqualified people for key cabinet positions.
April Fools. Trump CAN’T ever say he made a mistake. “They are making me look bad!” Narcissistic psycho!
38% of Republican voters agree #Hegseth should quit,
compared to a third who think he should keep job
As Trump's allies start turning on his DEF Sec, Jennifer Rubin explains how Pete Hegseth's tenure will get much worse—& why it'll become untenable for Trump & the GOP.
Trump’s top advisors discussed war plans in an insecure chat, a scandal that continues to shake the admin. This comes as a poll finds that 74% of Americans see the leak as a serious problem, incl 60% of Rs.

Defense Secretary Pete #Hegseth has voiced support for education grounded in patriotic principles and #Christian theology. The 67,000-some children in DODEA schools fall under the direction of the #Pentagon.
Separation of church and state Pete. Are you going to force your white Christian ideology on Jewish, Muslim, Atheist, kids? That’s fuckin wrong man. #FireHegseth
The first #Trump admin & the #Biden admin characterized #China as the greatest threat to the #US & postured the force to prepare for & deter conflict in the Pacific region. But #Hegseth’s guidance is extraordinary in its description of the potential invasion of #Taiwan as the exclusive animating scenario that must be prioritized over other potential dangers—reorienting the vast US #military architecture toward the Indo-Pacific region beyond homeland defense.
The document — setting out a prioritization framework for senior #defense officials & a vision to execute that work — also instructs the #military to take a more direct role in countering illegal #immigration & #DrugTrafficking.
The doc, known as the Interim National Defense Strategic Guidance & marked “secret/no foreign national” in most passages, was distributed throughout the #Defense Dept in mid-March & signed by #Hegseth. It outlines, in broad & partisan detail, the execution of #Trump’s vision to prepare for & win a potential #war against #China & defend the #UnitedStates from threats in the “near abroad,” including #Greenland & the #PanamaCanal.

Speaking of Swamp Creatures....
Here is the new/latest *New Yorker* Magazine cover
(April 7, 2025)
@GottaLaff Key takeaways: 1) Heritage Foundation pwned #Hegseth and the #DoD there's at least 1 leaker in the DoD and they won't be able to find out who because they distributed the 'secret' so widely. 3) Hegseth & Co. are too lazy to do anything but plagiarize.
“Secret Pentagon memo on #China, homeland has Heritage fingerprints
An internal guidance memo from Defense Sec Pete #Hegseth focuses on deterring China’s seizure of Taiwan and shoring up homeland defense. In some instances, the document is nearly a word-for-word facsimile of a report from the conservative think tank behind #Project2025 “ 1/..
"Buried in the messages between National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, and other cabinet members is a horrible demonstration of narrative engineering.
"While the legacy media fixates on ‘classified information’, the real story is actually not the incompetence of these people but instead how they casually discussed spinning the bombing of Yemen—an already battered and famine-ravaged nation—into a palatable story for the American and global public. Let’s have a look":
