President-elect Donald Trump stunned the Pentagon and the broader defense world by nominating Fox News host Pete Hegseth to serve as his defense secretary, tapping someone largely inexperienced and untested on the global stage to take over the world’s largest and most powerful military.
Privatize everything and lay off all government employees. Let the Department of War be run by the lowest bidder.
That sounds really bad. Apologies but if this is all sarcasm, that is lost on me. I got people arguing that Trump helping Isreal finish the genocide quickly with be good for the Palestinians who live through it, and so sarcasm is long dead.
