“Trump allowed DOGE to dismantle the U.S. Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in the early days of his second term because Elon Musk helped get him elected - and now Iranian hackers are attacking our nation’s water supply and Trump blames it on Minnesota, instead of acknowledging the threat and protecting the American people.

POTUS did this while sitting next to Minnesota native son, Pete Hegseth, who did nothing to defend his home state or correct the Commander-in-Chief when his own government officials and F.B.I. had already admitted it was the work of Iranian-backed hackers.

Pilsner Pete sat there and smugly let him lie, another awful act in an ignoble tenure as Defense Secretary, making it painfully obvious to all why we are losing this war: he’s all hair gel, no heroics.

The kind of coward who would rather do bicep curls in the mirror of an air-conditioned gym than stand up to a real threat that is right in front of him.

Or protect the troops he was appointed to serve. The flag is merely a pocket square to men like Hegseth; a symbol, not something sacred. His patriotism is performative and designed to polish an allegiance with Trump, and cover for his own demons and inadequacies by being a caricature of the modern MAGA military man.

He has abused the military and led them to commit multiple war crimes, including the ongoing murder of the poor souls who find themselves on fishing vessels off the coast of South America, leading to the executions of at least 221 innocent people.

An Ecuadorean prosecutor, Gloria Alexandra Bravo Cedeño, who was actively investigating the U.S. military drone and boat strikes in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific Ocean, was also killed by a hitman on a motorcycle in June.

I have no doubt that there is a shadow paramilitary force backing up much of the actions of our nation’s new ‘warfighter’ imperialistic stance.

This would be nothing new for us, especially when it comes to Latin America.

What do you think the reaction of those who wish to do us harm is when they see such immature and feckless leadership from the President of the United States? The self-dealing and surreptitious side hustles? The sadism mixed with a sanctimonious Christofascist agenda?”
