New in PN: The made for TV sec def "Hegseth is essentially playing the role of sec def on TV for a president who wants a vapid figurehead rather than someone competent. His job is to serve as a square-jawed caricature of MAGA masculinity. By that measure, he's doing exactly what he was hired for."

He’s not a legitimate President. He’s a felonious squatter who has turned our White House into a criminal enterprise.

Germany's “conservative” alliance, CDU and CSU (aligning more closely with America's center-left, moderate wing of the Democratic Party), has won the country’s national parliamentary election. Thank god they teach history in German schools. Far-right politics REJECTED!

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

A reminder: Everything folks fear from The Handmaids Tale actually happened to Black and Native American women. It’s wildly disrespectful that folks are only recently starting to care now when marginalized women and girls have suffered for centuries. Stop cosplaying and read some history too.
