Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts?
Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

Obviously this is how you build an intelligence community culture like Russia’s, ensuring they lie to you & you make more stupid mistakes.

Hegseth's appointment as SECDEF has been like an episode of Fantasy Island where the main character is a senior first lieutenant or junior captain who thinks everything in the DoD would be better if they were in charge.
Oh yeah, look at those crossed arms and the look on his face. He has no clue what they're talking about. That's the expression of a man beginning to realize he's a mid-functioning alcoholic on his third marriage who just signed up for the job that overwhelmed and killed James Forrestal.

As I watch people and organizations who have the power to resist fold, I keep thinking of the reflection from Helen Keller that "avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold."
While morally odious, cowardly, and textbook examples of getting divided-and-ruled... the deals being struck by unis and law firms don't seem on face particularly onerous. Is that the key here? Law elites and university presidents are like, "meh," even as they push the door open wider to autocracy?

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam.
It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.
