Summary

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brought his wife, Jennifer Hegseth, to at least two high-level foreign meetings where sensitive information was discussed, according to The Wall Street Journal.

One meeting included U.K. Defense Secretary John Healey, and another took place at a NATO summit in Brussels.

Defense officials called her presence unusual, as attendees typically hold security clearances.

The Pentagon did not confirm whether Jennifer Hegseth has a clearance. Her involvement raises security concerns, given the classified nature of the discussions.

    everything that happens in Ukraine happens everywhere else 5-15 years later. i don’t know who our comedian president to clean up after our russian puppet president is yet, but my front runners are Bill Burr, Jon Stewart, and Josh Johnson

      Jon Stewart would be too perfect for this timeline, but I could picture a Bill Burr presidency.

        Would go better than this, actually. He’d be incompetent but he’d know that and I think he’d at least attempt to surround himself with competence.

          There are few things that wouldn’t go better than this 😔 Bill Burr would be a massive improvement, no question.

            John Stewart would be a good Secretary of State…
