Hegseth Meeting is September 30? [View all]

And the government will shut down at midnight September 30?

And every senior US military official, including those that have to fly in from their assigned foreign posts will be in ONE ROOM in Quantico, mere hours before the Government shuts down?

Do I have that right?

And the perpetually drunk "Secretary of War" is pretty much ignoring any semblance of OPSEC norms by setting things up this way?

It seems to me like this series of events is not a coincidence, and maybe it's not mere incompetence.

It seems to me like this is a set-up that purposely puts the entire country at unbelievable risk, whether via nefarious intent, or extreme stupidity.

And this is just one more of the unimaginably fucked up things that will happen in the next few days, because this administration is apparently incapable of not going at least one day without facilitating at least 5 fucked up actions per day.

This shit is is crazy-making.
