EMERGENCY: Commander-in-chief didn't know about Hegseth con-clave.

Watch this ABC News clip. Go to 46 seconds where our commander-in-chief is asked about Defense Dept meeting of top military brass. This was on Sept 25 when the entire world knew.

His response is what should have led the coverage. He had no idea what was happening. This looks as bad as Reagan's final years.

I wish someone had asked him the last time a meeting like this was held. Or I wish one of those journalists knew that answer so they could have corrected him.

Seriously, how much worse does it have to get? And no one is doing a damn thing about it.

Kind of seems as if he is being allowed to carry out his personal revenges and unleash his business "acumen", all the while we have a core of fascists pulling his strings. He is still needed in office.

Vought, Nazi Boy Miller & Thiel are running the show. However, none of them have the sway over MAGAts that the Fascist Felon does, so he stays as long as they can swing it.
