[Loomer] was apparently wielding more influence over the staff of the National Security Council than Mr. Waltz, who runs the agency.
She wanted them fired because - I’m not making this up - they are neocons.
Ms. Loomer has been part of a group effort by some Trump allies to disparage members of the White House staff whom they consider too hawkish, too eager to commit American troops around the world and fundamentally at odds with Mr. Trump’s “America First” foreign policy. The agitators have used the phrase “neocon” — short for neoconservative — to describe many of those staff members working for Mr. Waltz.
“Getting Loomered”.
Last month she started her own research and vetting firm, called Loomered Strategies, that she said would provide high-level opposition research for hire. The term refers to what she and others call “getting Loomered,” which is when she targets someone, either in ambush-style interviews or online. She has also tried to dig up dirt on officials from outside the administration, either because they have gotten in Mr. Trump’s way or because she questions their loyalty.

What a fucking horribly written article. I wanted to read the whole thing but it gave me a migraine.

Of course, my concern here is that they want those troops at home.
Exactly. I’m sure she wants Trump to do stuff like use nuclear weapons on Iran because in her pea brain that means the troops can stay home and take care of domestic problems.
I can’t imagine why it would be reassuring. There’s not an organized Left for them to be afraid of. Which leaves us a nightmarish dystopia of right wing infighting, border expansions, and mass murder.
In a “do they know something I don’t” kind of way. But I agree, scary proposition and I hope people stay safe. With how much worse things seem to be getting there’s bound to be pushback at some point.
Sentence after sentence - you have to wade through massive information overload and way too many clauses. Its’ clause city. It’s a serious slog to figure who is doing what and why are they doing it. The first easy fixes would be if the editor had them use far more periods and if the order of things was changed so you know where the text is going. What a mess.

I don’t know if it’s reassuring or scary that the US is acting like they’re gonna need all the soldiers they can in US soil
