It's already so broken in 100 days that even the broken pieces are crushed, cracked, and broken. Trump won't fire the fascist grease streak Hegseth because he's the poster boy for right-wing booze and testosterone poisoned MAGA males. Like Elise Stefanik, Waltz is detritus to Trump, who gives zero shits about the United Nations after he was laughed out of the General Assembly during his first term.

Jeff T had a great pic of DT with a shit-stain on his pretty white golf pants. It would have been apropos to use that one in this article, with a big red arrow labeled “WALTZ HERE->” pointing to that shit stain.

Great work, Wendy! Love your analysis and narrative. So true. (And please understand I already wrote a section of tomorrow’s article on him, none of which has a single word from yours, and is not as harshly truthful as yours!)

The point you make, that I definitely don’t drive home enough, is the “unknown knowns” (to quip Rumsfeld) of what ELSE fucking made it out the door… it’s terrifying to think of the lives on the line when it’s reading the 300th press account of the day on the matter and your brain doesn’t realize it’s a human-lives story, more than it is an incompetence story. This guy, as it turns out, and you make super fucking clear, should NEVER have been given the chance to EVER hold the title of National Security Advisor. Gotta go, there you are… on my iPad :)
