Summary
Trump’s nomination of Pete Hegseth, a Fox News presenter with minimal managerial experience, as defense secretary has stunned the Pentagon.
Hegseth has been a vocal critic of the military, calling for a purge of generals and questioning the appointment of Gen. Charles Brown as chair of the joint chiefs of staff.
Hegseth’s nomination is seen as a boost for the far right in Israel, as he has shown support for territorial expansion and suggested the construction of a new temple on the Temple Mount.
It literally can’t get worse. Have you watched the news lately? The good news is the second in command of the world’s most ravenous, vicious, blood thirsty empire will soon be an unqualified blowhard–and the first in command will be similarly (un)qualified. Death to America.
I suppose, then, that when “Palestinian” is only applicable in the past tense, it won’t be a worse end-state, only exactly the same as the current state? That when people, like yourself and your entire family, are rounded up, that it “literally” won’t be any worse than it is right now when you can still walk freely and aren’t being literally tortured?
There’s a thing about rock bottom…it can always get worse until there is nothing left to feel.
