NEW TONIGHT: A white nationalist worked for the Trump campaign in an important position in Pennsylvania for five months — until Friday, when the campaign fired him after learning about his views @POLITICOMagpolitico.com/news/magazine/…
@POLITICOMag Luke Meyer, the Trump campaign’s 24-year-old regional field director for Western Pennsylvania, goes by the online name Alberto Barbarossa. On his podcast and others, and in posts online, Barbarossa regularly shares white nationalist views.
@POLITICOMag “Why can’t we make New York, for example, white again? Why can’t we clear out and reclaim Miami?” Barbarossa asked during a podcast. “I’m not saying we need to be 100 percent homogeneous. A return to 80 percent, 90 percent white would probably be the best we could hope for”

"I dream that one day, we shall have combatant commands. Northern Command will oversee the north of the continent. Southern Command, the south. And Central Command..."

"Will oversee the center of the continent?"

"If only it were that simple." Image
"Our Navy will have great and mighty destroyers. We shall call them DDs."

"What does that stand for?"

"Well, the first D will be for destroyer."

"What is the second D for?"

"We'll also have frigates..."
"Oh, and we shall have boats that travel underwater. They'll be called submarines. Large ones will be named after states. Smaller ones will be named after cities."

"And the Seawolf class?"

"We'll name the first one Seawolf. The next will be a state. And the third, a president"

Not a U.S. ship. Appears to be a Pattani-class offshore patrol vessel belonging to the Royal Thai Navy, which means it was built by China
This is a cutter from the Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard
This is the USS Carl Vinson. But for some reason the image is reversed and it's melting my brain

Remarkable video from Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller calling out senior leaders on Afghanistan. "People are upset because senior leaders let them down, and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability or saying 'we messed this up.'"
"Did any of you throw your rank on the table and say ‘hey, it’s a bad idea to evacuate Bagram Airfield, a strategic airbase, before we evacuate everyone.’ Did anyone do that? And when you didn’t think to do that did anyone raise their hand and say ‘we completely messed this up?'"
"Potentially all those people did die in vain if we don't have senior leaders that own up and raise their hand and say 'we did not do this well in the end.'"

NEW TODAY: Progressives line up their own national security recruits for Biden | @BryanDBender @politico politico.com/news/2020/12/1…
@BryanDBender @politico The effort marks a new phase for progressive groups, which have criticized the ties to arms-makers of some Cabinet picks and have also lobbied the Biden-Harris team to enlist a more diverse set of views in building out its national security staff
