Summary

Trump’s nomination of Pete Hegseth, a Fox News presenter with minimal managerial experience, as defense secretary has stunned the Pentagon.

Hegseth has been a vocal critic of the military, calling for a purge of generals and questioning the appointment of Gen. Charles Brown as chair of the joint chiefs of staff.

Hegseth’s nomination is seen as a boost for the far right in Israel, as he has shown support for territorial expansion and suggested the construction of a new temple on the Temple Mount.

    Why the fuck would a good candidate for Secretary of Defense have any serious opinion on foreign policy.

    Don’t miss that red flag among all the others.

      Trumpets don’t value knowledge. They value commitment and loyalty and the ability to blame others.

      He’s clearly an accelerationist. Rebuilding the temple on the Mount is a requirement for Jesus to come back and kick off biblical Armageddon.

      Trump has surrounded himself with insane people who are hell-bent on destroying the world so they can be raptured. Choosing people for these roles who openly say shit like this further proves that is their actual plan.

      They want to destroy the world and jumpstart their revelations prophecy. They don’t give a shit what happens to the rest of us.
