Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has become “emboldened” after ousting some of the military’s most senior officials as he moves to “consolidate control” at the Pentagon, according to a report. The firing of Navy Secretary John Phelan and the Army’s chief of staff Gen. Randy George was part of Hegseth’s reported pursuit to “consolidate control” of the Pentagon, leaving him “more confident than ever in his job,” The Washington Post reports. Despite concerns from those in President Donald Trump’s inner circle, including White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Hegseth appears to have secured his standing within the administration amid a turbulent first year in office, the newspaper reports. “All the power has been taken away from the uniforms and 100 percent gone to the political appointees,” one official told the Post. Phelan was removed on April 22 shortly after voicing concerns to lawmakers regarding what he characterized as a “land grab” by Hegseth and Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg, according to the newspaper.
Gotta fill those spots with more sycophants and morons. Gotta love the fact if some other country did decide to attack us, the mushroom-fluffers would have no idea what to fucking do. They’d probably end up bombing US, the citizens.
Fucking disgraceful. Hope the military is happy that they get to go fight fake wars for the Epstein class and die to cover up the pedophiles in office.
The only competence these people have is creating fascist power structures, because as psychopaths, that (and not competence in any meaningful field) is the one thing they’ve been training their whole lives for. Their fragile egos combined with sociopathic fixation on authority and loyalty means that everything needs to be a performative demonstration of masculinity and power.
Or more succinctly: They get off on people having to do what they say, preferably against their will, and we all have to suffer so they can feel good.
All of these actions just self-identify Hegseth and the rest of Trump’s gallery of rogues as weak, pathetic, sadistic children.
