Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:

Hegseth is so glib. I wonder if he’ll be eating his words.

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

I hate so much how we venerate vaporware salesmen as business geniuses given how easy it is to do anything with billions of investor dollars.
If you want to respect someone for business acumen, look at the person who started a profitable gymnastics studio or roofing company with an idea and $5,000.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

WHAT WE’RE THINKING ABOUT IS A PEACEFUL PLANET.
WE’RE NOT THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.
WE’RE NOT THINKING ABOUT ANY KIND OF POWER.
WE’RE NOT THINKING ABOUT ANY KIND OF STRUGGLES.
WE’RE NOT THINKING ABOUT REVOLUTION OR WAR OR ANY OF THAT.
THAT’S NOT WHAT WE WANT.
NOBODY WANTS TO GET HURT.
NOBODY WANTS TO HURT ANYBODY.
WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO BE ABLE TO LIVE AN UNCLUTTERED LIFE.
A SIMPLE LIFE, A GOOD LIFE.
AND THINK ABOUT MOVING THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE AHEAD A STEP,
OR A FEW STEPS.
— Jerry Garcia
