John Ullyot, who resigned last week as chief Pentagon spokesperson, predicted that Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth will also be out of a job soon.
Ullyot called it a “strange and baffling purge” that has led to “a near collapse inside the Pentagon’s top ranks.”
And he warned that even more “bombshell” stories about Hegseth and the Defence Department are about to drop.
If Ullyot backs Hegseth then I don’t give a shit about anything else he has to say. Hegseth’s end nearing at this point isn’t a bombshell or surprise.
I shouldn’t be surprised that literally nobody knows how to read through political-speak or understands the game as it’s being played.
It’s not your fault, it’s the goddamn waves and waves of bad-faith bots and shills who have infested every corner of the internet like fucking bedbugs, latching onto any minuscule term or word that could inflame strong feelings in either side of the political spectrum, and amplifying those things to the point of absurdity, so that our general population doesn’t even try to understand things like political games or nuance or complex motivations.
This is what paved the way for our cartoonishly absurd “leadership” right now. They campaigned on face-value terms and ideas, the most superficial, black-and-white values. It’s why our political landscape is at a point where people don’t even attempt to debate each other anymore, because nobody listens to each other or even wants to understand each other. It’s why we have to explain every little thing online in excruciating detail and with a mile of qualifiers and disclaimers. They have ruined our ability to understand anything past what we see, and as someone who lived in the before times, when there was no social media or internet at all, I can say with certainty that things are dramatically different now. People are different.
