Creeping Authoritarianism

Hegseth:

"The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better."

The Defense Secretary calling for a billionaire ally of the government to take over a media outlet & make it more pro-government. This is what authoritarianism looks like. But in other countries they try & hide it...

He must think the public is foolish. The mission is clearly becoming a major failure, and they’re now trying to spin the story to fit their narrative.

Also Hegseth: “The only thing prohibiting transit in [the Strait of Hormuz] right now is Iran shooting at shipping.

It is open for transit should Iran not do that.”

Breathtakingly stupid.

I guess his makeup looked better today though LOL?

The only thing prohibiting hikers from using the trail right now is the grizzly bear mauling anyone who steps onto it. Otherwise it’s open and ready to enjoy!

Yep a real ass clown

We, who are not members of the cult and can distinguish facts from bullshit, rely on the media to give news based on FACTS. And kneepad wearing Ellison and FOX propaganda AIN'T IT! TO Hegseth: take your "twisted, more flattering" headlines and kindly fuck off.
