Warning ⚠️

Brutal take down midway through this clip.

Wanna see Sec Hillary Clinton scorch the fk out of Trump?πŸ”₯

Secretary Hillary Clinton could have been the greatest president of all. Unlike many people in government, she knows what she's talking about.

Americans are apparently going to learn the hard way that, just because someone hates the same people you do, doesn’t make them competent at running the largest, most complex organization/administration in history.

If we don’t see terror attacks on our soil as a result of this adventurism, it’s not going to be because this administration was competent.

We have real and urgent problems we should be solving, climate change chief among them. Instead, we’re doing this BS.

Someone should ask him if he subscribes to the belief, as SecDef apparently does, that Trump has been β€œanointedβ€œβ€ to bring about Armageddon and the second coming of Jesus. For that matter, someone should ask Hegseth himself about that: we should know if he thinks his job is to start Armageddon.

No, this probably comes straight from SecDef himself.

So the same fundamentalists belonging to a religion that calls the day their founder was tortured to death β€œGOOD Friday,β€œ also think that electing a man who will bring about the end of the world is a really swell idea.

I take your point, but it’s the American people who keep putting them in office. And even though some of us refer to Republicans as idiots, our side has yet to figure out how to defeat them and keep them out of power. So I think a broader attribution of blame is therefore appropriate.

i’m not familiar with the organization, no. And Mr. Larsen did not provide any links to that organization’s website. Even so, what he writes may be true. But I think it’s good practice, in this environment, to cultivate a healthy skepticism. Because confirmation bias.

Yikes! Seems like the Pentagon should have disciplined him for doing that. As an Australian general once said, β€œthe standard you walk past is the standard you accept.β€œ But this eschatology is coming from the SecDef, apparently.

Thank you for the clarification and useful information. I would have been so disappointed in the failure of my supposed cleverness! 😒 πŸ˜†

This dude is really good. I still remember the day when he and Senator Warnock were elected. Felt like miraculous good luck.

I didn’t recognize the name of the organization, so you know more than I do. Given a Given Hegseth’s fundamentalism, it’s certainly possible. But I’d like to hear from some enlisted people, or somebody else on the record.

This blogger appears to be the only source for this story, and he provides no links. A Google search for Armageddon turns up nothing. I’m going to wait for confirmation from a credible journalist before taking this bait.

This blogger appears to be the only source for the story. A Google search didn’t turn up any mention of it. I’m going to wait for confirmation from a credible journalist before taking the bait. Yes, it’s believable, but confirmation bias is a problem.

🚨A Substack blogger claims our military was told that they were attacking Iran to make way for Armageddon and the 2nd coming of Christ. It’s believable, given SecDef’s crusader tattoo. No shade to the author, but I want a credible journalist to confirm. Confirmation bias is a real problem.

I don’t know the blogger, so I can’t speak to his credibility. I don’t see any confirmation of this story on Google from the last couple of days. May I suggest not getting too worked up over this until there is confirmation from a credible journalistic source. Confirmation bias is a real threat.

I don’t know who the blogger is, but I’m going to wait for the story to be confirmed by a credible journalistic source before buying into it. I’ve been concerned about this, so my fear of confirmation bias is on high alert.

I don’t know Mr. Larson, and I don’t see any reference to this on a Google search from the last couple of days. I have worried about this, so I have a heightened fear of confirmation bias. I will wait for confirmation from well reputed and credible journalists.

I need verification of this claim from credible journalistic sources. No beef with this gentleman, but I don’t know who he is, and did not see any links to sources in a cursory look.

She usually has such an impenetrable poker face, but you could tell when she asked which Dems were supporting the Ayatollah, that she knew that she had him. What fun!

After Khamenei, What Now? Iranians want democracy. Trump wants a brief conflict. Neither seems likely.

"Iran has had coherent opposition movements over the decades that have managed to create nationwide movements and strikes. Almost all of them have been systematically destroyed: people arrested; people killed; people exiled."
