I’m glad to hear your fever has subsided, please tell Marz to be patient while you regain your strength ;)
This statement (field order) by Secretary Hegseth, “No quarter, no mercy for our enemies,” is a direct violation of Article 23(d) of the Hague Regulations (1907) forbids declaring that no quarter will be given. Meaning, no enemy prisoners taken, summarily executed on the spot. When they send troops into Iran, and they will, this statement will not sit well during the war crimes tribunal.
You know how to start my morning out right, Mary... with an image of our Secretary of WAR auditioning "to play Secretary of Defense in a low-budget apocalyptic reboot of Top Gun directed by a youth pastor." #Solidarity
He is an alcoholic whose maturity stopped at the time he began to drink. Speaking from experience and based on studies of alcoholics, if you start drinking at 18 and quit at 40, you have the maturity of your 18-year-old self. If you stay sober, you begin to mature, but that takes time, you have a lot of catching up to do and there aren't a lot of shortcuts. Of course, if you don't stop drinking, your maturity level stays right where you left it: at 50 you may be tired but you still act like a teenager.
Another thing is dry drunk. When you quit drinking, you still exhibit behavior like a drunk, especially in high stress situations, or in places where you were typically drunk like parties, bars, and for Pete, at work. You won't slur, fall over, or pee in your pants, but you mimic your drunk self: loud, insulting, brash, sweaty, incoherent, uninhibited.
In my opinion, Pete Hegseth, with the maturity of a very young bro, is not a dry drunk, but very much wet and probably a daily drinker. It will leak out if he is but right now he has a tight little group of diaper-changers and flatterers around him, primping and plumping him. They may be filling his water glass with water, maybe not.
Either way, drunk or dry, Hegseth is emotionally and intellectually wrong to be the defense secretary. Look at the brat: changing the name of the clubhouse, ordering expensive food on dad's credit card, playing with weapons of world destruction as if they were plastic soldiers across the bedroom floor and he just heard the phrase, "Bomb them back to the Stone Age" for the first time.
Well, obviously it is is criminal, unethical, beyond the pale and utterly unheard of BUT who's going to stop them? Who do you think is going to bother? It is an open market out there for corruption as long as you are Maga-adjacent. And who exactly are the boys going to hurt, Jack? Iranians? Muslims? Those? Them? They? "Rats?"
Glad to hear you're feeling better. But seriously, you don't seem to have lost your edge. Keep it coming. Meanwhile, I have a global fever of my own that's not going to stop anytime soon I think. The world is burning.
Fevers make every inch of your body ache so glad you’re getting some relief . Amazed you could right so succinctly when feeling low . As always you give us the increasingly shocking news but with an ever present humor . Can anyone explain why these continuing unethical and illegal deals by the Trumps are not immediately dealt with ? If there are no repercussions why would they stop ? There isn’t an ethical or honest bone in any of them . It’s infuriating
So glad to hear that you are on the mend Mary. Take it easy, let Marz do all the romping while you recover because we need you to keep us up to date with all the horrors occurring yet still manage to make us smile or even laugh.
"Hegseth sounds like Dr. Strangelove rewritten by a Christian nationalist who thinks Starship Troopers was a documentary "--perfection! Clearly your fever didn't interfere with your similes.

So glad you are feeling better - I am so impressed with how you were able to continue with your amazing articles throughout your illness.
Warmonger Pete, at a press briefing wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross. There you have it, the American Fascists have officially arrived.

Pete Hegseth is a dangerous joke.

Let him ride the bomb to Tehran. Yee haw, brah
How is it not criminal for the president to use the military arsenal and then have the family buy into a drone producing business.

Glad you’re better Mary. Almost as much as Marx is.

Keep getting weller and weller. We need you to umpire this whole crazy game Trump and his family and friends are playing...
