Fully Yeeted

"Self Yeet"

Yeeted: 2026-03-17

Self-yeeted over Trump’s Iran war, saying the threat wasn’t imminent and turning his resignation into one more foreign-policy shitstorm.

Joe Kent is the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, a former Green Beret, and a onetime congressional candidate from Washington state who built a national profile through hard-right politics and foreign policy hawkishness. He took over the NCTC in 2025 after years spent as both a military veteran and MAGA-aligned political figure. Then he self-yeeted over Trump’s Iran war, turning a senior counterterrorism post into one more fight about whether the threat was real or just another convenient excuse to light the region up. On Yeeted or Seated, Kent is a reminder that even the hawks can start screaming when the room gets too reckless.
