@Remittancegirl I assume many of us in the U.S. #natsec community have understood this since the election a year ago. It's over. With the finality of being hit by a train, it was over at that moment. No allied nation should have continued sharing intelligence, I said so at the time. A MAGA America at the least can't be trusted, and at worst is an outright enemy of everything and everyone the country once stood for. It's sad that Congress members and others are so deluded as to think things might magically go back to "normal" when Trump is gone. Because what we proved is that it's not just Trump. It's Americans who are so depraved to have made this happen, it's their character at issue. No of course no one will trust America again. Because they're not stupid.

Hegseth "is a fervent devotee of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, a body that preaches the “most extreme views of women’s submission found in any form of Christianity,” religious scholar Julie Ingersoll told Salon. The church’s leader, Doug Wilson, recently gave an interview to CNN in which he argued that women shouldn’t have the right to vote and have no place outside the home. “Women are the kind of people that people come out of,” he said"

So why is Hegseth's wife his top military advisor (while both of them are bereft of any qualifications for these jobs, and with him already having committed crimes by sharing classified information with her) ... "The reason is both simple and stupid: Because her work is unpaid. As it turns out, all this contempt that leaders of the religious right have for a woman’s capabilities miraculously dries up the second her intelligence can be used to serve a man and not herself." #military#DOD #natsechttps://www.salon.com/2025/09/15/pete-hegseth-wants-women-in-the-kitchen-but-his-wife-as-his-top-adviser/
