Today I heard that he has changed the days that are fee free for visitors to the National Parks. Surprise, surprise; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Juneteenth are now not included but his birthday is! If people don’t see the outrageous message and absurdity in this move then we are truly sunk. He also wants to charge an additional fee of $100 for non resident visitors. How is that going to work? Is everyone going to have to show their “papers” to gain entrance? Imagine that slippery slope. No wonder he never sleeps - needs 24 hours a day to devise the next obscene affront to our lives.
Your bit on Hegseth is exactly right — the whole thing mirrors what I wrote about the “Don’t Think, Don’t Ask, Just Shoot” doctrine. Hegseth wraps recklessness in the language of “realism,” the same way he wrapped the SignalGate leak in “totally exonerated” spin after accidentally adding an Atlantic reporter to a live ops group chat.
Your Risk-board analogy is perfect: in his worldview, rules of engagement are “handcuffs,” legality is optional, and war crimes become “policy differences.” It’s the same logic he used for the four Venezuela strikes — boast first, deny later, blame the admiral, then summon the Fog of War like a personal smoke machine.
And he gave it all away with his: “Lethality Isn’t Everything — It’s the Only Thing.”
The analogy of Risk will be morphing into Chutes and Ladders. Billionaires are climbing the ladders like greased lightning, while the majority of the rest of us are destined for the chutes, thanks to the Big Fat Beautiful Bill.
Regarding Hegseth and Bradley. I keep seeing the words alleged and suspected. To me that means not sure. Hegseth gave an illegal order and Bradley followed it.
And the breath taking corruption. The drugs serf class gets blown out of the water, literally, while the rich king pin, apprehended and found guilty by a jury, gets a pardon. What Timothy Snyder called a "decapitation strike" in November 2024, when he saw Trump's nominees for cabinet, has progressed to what Anne Applebaum calls "performative suicide", upon the recent release of the National Security Strategy.

I'm sure Nick Fuentes is juiced to learn that Nazi massacres of POWs and other hors de combat folk were just hard headed realism.
