I don't read it that way. If he didn't care, he'd say so, like when he basically told Putin to attack Europe. This is just his scrambled-eggs brain trying to make some idiotic excuse for high gas prices. "They'd nuke LA if I didn't do this, and if they do, it'll be horrible and I'll do bad stuff!

It all fell apart so quickly. Well, seemed to have. When you think about John Roberts’ first foray against voting rights back in the ‘80’s, perhaps not so sudden. Big question is Can We Stop This War?

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.

You may be the hackiest reporter in a world of hacky reporters if you state a fact and then tell viewers "you can see if that's true or not." It's your *job* to know if what you just said is true or not. This is not acceptable cover for a lie.
