#GardenNoem on #ThisWeek dismissed the #WaPo report SecDef #KegStand told Navy pilots to go back and "kill everybody" when a missile strike of a Venezuelan "drug boat" left two survivors "clinging to the side of the wreckage".

If we ARE "at war" with Venezuela like T**** claims, killing people "no longer a threat" is a WAR CRIME.

If we AREN'T "at war", it's just plain ol' #Murder. #WarCrime #Hegseth

Jen talked about #Kegstand's wildly offensive & clueless macho bull$#!+ speech yesterday, followed by #CaptBoneSpurs' equally offensive & rambling WTF follow-up speech.

I'd be shocked if these two wannabe-warriors didn't alienate every single career officer in the U.S. military yesterday.

Trump, Hegseth put on embarrassing show before a distinguished military audience

Donald Trump's secretary of war, Pete Hegseth, summoned all of the U.S. military's top leadership to an extremely unusual meeting in Quantico, Virginia, only to subject them to weird, self-indulgent speeches from Hegseth and Trump. Lieutenant General Russel Honoré, U.S. Army (retired), talks with Jen Psaki about the bizarre event and Donald Trump's poor understanding of how the U.S. military works.

@petergleick
What a shock that the same Administration that has done away with #DueProcess would simply bomb a foreign vessel rather than intercept it.

There's virtually NO doubt in my mind this was indeed a Drug Boat. 4 outboard motors on a tiny lightweight dinghy racing along at night? Those are drug runners.

#Kegstand *claims* they knew the name & activity of everyone on board. Maybe, but I don't trust Pete for $#!+.

But the way this "TV bred" admin frames everything for show is vomitous.

Brett was on fire today, catching #Kegstand in a GLARING contradiction.

Pete trashed the leaked report FROM OUR OWN INTEL questioning just how badly the #Iranian nuclear program was set back, latching onto a sympathetic PLANT "reporter"s suggestion that "Early assessments are almost always wrong."

Brett pointed out that EVEN BEFORE this leaked DoD assessment, Dear Leader was ALREADY claiming "total obliteration".

BASED ON WHAT? An even EARLIER assessment???

Hegseth is full of SHIT!

Name-calling is NOT an answer!

Closely related to the infamous “NONDENIAL DENIAL” of Nixon in Watergate.

SecDef #Kegstand posted the following image on Ecks "bragging" about the military arresting protesters.

As #LSSC #StephenColbert pointed out:

"Three heavily armed #Marines to protect two heavily armed #ICE Agents arresting ONE UNARMED man. #JFC #DisasterPresidency #FascistInChief

We've LONG known that when #TheOrangeMenace or his #Cult accuses someone of something, it's a Confession.

Their argument against #DEI is that it is "#AffirmativeAction" that results in hiring/promoting "less qualified" people simply due to their #race/#gender.

And yet, the result has been to weed out QUALIFIED minorities so less qualified Frat-boys like #Kegstand not only are given jobs they AREN'T qualified for, but then protected when they are shown to be incompetent. 🤨

After #SecDef Pete #Kegstand included a magazine editor with no security clearance to a discussion of an ACTIVE military action using the public #Signal chat software, #DrunkieMcDrunkerson did it AGAIN, inviting HIS SISTER (among others) to be in on YET ANOTHER #Signal chat.

When he suddenly discovered he was no longer able to use his private cell phone to host INSECURE text chats while IN the #Pentagon, Pete ordered the installation of an UNSECURED Internet connection.🤦‍♂️

Hegseth had unsecured internet line in Pentagon for Signal, sources say

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had an internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon’s security protocols set up in his office to use the Signal messaging app on a personal computer. That's according to two people familiar with the line who spoke to The Associated Press. Known as a “dirty" internet line by the IT industry, it connects directly to the public internet, where the user’s information and the websites accessed don't have the same security filters or protocols that the Pentagon’s secured connections maintain. The chief Pentagon spokesman said Hegseth "has never used and does not currently use Signal on his government computer.”
