Hard to believe how much of our lives are devoted to the theater of the absurd- Hegseth the galavanting Trump sock puppet flexing his muscle with a tattoo of kafir on it - oh what a guy- gravitas, diplomacy, depth of knowledge, respect for sovereign countries- not in evidence here - but the show must go on - what Trump doesn’t understand is that his “reality show” is now playing on the world stage and the world is looking on in horror as we collapse in the arena or coliseum of the 21st century - so sad, so embarrassing, so disrespectful, so unnecessary

- dominating the air waves is the easy part but being the heavy is not a winning role on the world stage any longer- bullying is not what is needed - but clearly Trump and the US deep state were made for each other-saber rattling and insulting rhetoric will continue and destroy any semblance of humanity or reason in our government, see Gaza, Ukraine, Yemen, Syria, Iran, Panama, Lebanon - we the citizens are the real victims of this hubris - all in less than three months - overwhelming the populace via panic, worry, fear of what comes next, decimating the “ middle class” federal employee work force to instill fear for their security and everyone’s security is the new covid inflicting total anxiety on everyone. What a truly hateful man
