Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.
Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.
They voted to confirm him anyway.

Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”
It’s almost as if there were signs!

It’s Small Business Saturday - a tradition that gets people out to support local businesses! Local retail shops, restauranteurs, and service providers are local residents who invest in and support our own communities in many ways. #ShopSmall

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and often the center of our communities and neighborhoods.
Especially now, as Trump’s tariffs are pushing so many local small businesses to the breaking point, let’s all do our part and shop small for Small Business Saturday.

Also a category that includes his mother, paternal grandparents, and two of his three wives. But of course that's different, because neither he nor de facto President Miller actually care about immigration as such. They care about racism, and it's a farce to concede the pretense it's anything else.
Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”
As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

While it is likely that Stephen Miller wrote the post for Trump, as many of y’all have noted, that matters less than the fact is went out under the digital imprimatur of the President of the United States.
This is unhinged, unadulterated white nationalism that is so off-the-charts fascist not even David Duke would have said that in public.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Trump was at his West Palm Beach golf course when the National Guard shooting took place.
Trump has already spent $70 million of taxpayer money on golfing in less than a year as president.
If this pace keeps up, he will spend $300 million playing golf by the time his second term ends.
