SECDEF has always been a position where we put smart guys. Even the bad ones like Cheney, Kissinger and McNamara were known for their intellect. They also all ranked high on the Evil scale especially Cheney.
This guy is a drunk, a toxic male, and a dumbbell. And he's taking evil to 11. Stupid to 12
Hopefully those hearings will uncover whether Hegseth sought to personally profit from the war he started by investing in companies that will profit from it, as has been charged. To have a financial incentive to start a war is beyond mere conflict of interest - it is evil.
As always you are so brilliantly incisive and have the keen ability to both see and describe these vacuous narcissists that Trump brings in his orbit, the consequences of Hegseth's soiling of the military and its leadership to the degree he has will be felt for years, and god knows what danger he has put us in, we are lucky if we make it out with just this terrible Iran war. I will say though, in referencing Cheney and Powell, it is their deeds that, in part, got us here. Why, because they lied to the American people about Iraq, and that cost us not only billions, it also cost us globally and all the military families and their sacrifices -- and it cost the trust that our country HAD been built up post Vietnam. Powell and Cheney presentation of weapons of Mass Destruction, it was a lie and sold as the truth. I remember. And honestly, it gutted the public's trust in the government, the military, etc. It was part of the road that led us to the place we are in.
Somewhere in Hegseth's solipsistic, reptilian brain was probably the idea that his move from Fox News to the Defense department was not a big leap. He was simply moving from one TV show to another. He grasped quicker than most the role offered was essentially the apprentice on the Trump administration reality show.
Idiots put him in charge of the Pentagon and now his head has swelled to the point he thinks he can be President. Why not? Is Trump a bigger idiot or just more corrupt? I can’t decide. Either way, this is the way MAGA likes them. Dumb, corrupt, obnoxious, clueless of how stupid he looks/behaves. Hopefully this idiotic cult is burning itself out. We can’t survive this crap much longer.
What I find most amusing about Petey, Sergeant at Arms for the Feminists Ruined the World Society, is how much he seems to rely on his spouse, Jennifer. Much like Hillary Clinton, Jennifer is not baking cookies or lip syncing "Stand By Your Man" in her HGTV kitchen. She's not coughing up her vote to the head of her family either, much to Petey's pastor's chagrin. Nope. My guess is she's managing her just to the right of twinkie husband's glowing career as our whizbang Defense Secretary of Steroids. Petey's still on TV and Jennifer is still producing the show.
For Hegseth to even think there’s the slightest possibility that he will be voted in as president just proves how much smoke is being blown up his ass. He’s out of touch with reality
Every time I think of the MSM giving Trump the microphone for free in 2015, I feel ill from anger at their greed for ratings. That combined with "The Apprentice" exposure was salt and sugar for the masses.
Since I'm getting furious all over again on memory lane, Comey and Obama must be kicking themselves for not using every lever of government to put private citizen Trump out of the race and on the road to jail the minute he farted his way down that escalator. There was so much criming to choose from. A child could have gone after Deutsche Bank money laundering for Russians in an instant. But Obama was too afraid of seeming political and Mitch McConnell was too happy to steamroll him. Comey was too interested in Comey to understand HE was the one holding the lid of Pandora's box.
So, what could possibly go wrong if Pete Hegseth were president?
Our elections aren't safe. A Republican donor bought Dominion and the voting machines are in corrupt, lawless hands (not the hard working people on the front lines - the software and hardware controls). Purging the voter rolls with a blessing from a corrupt SCOTUS is within reach. Let's not laugh at Pete Hegseth or any other MAGA Caligula waiting in the wings. Let's destroy their ambitions now.
“He has been handed things his whole life. Institutions, platforms, organizations, a department with three million people. Each time, the pattern repeats: the arrival is loud, the promises are enormous, the reality curdles, and the fault always lies with someone else. The trolls exist to make sure the blame lands elsewhere. The purge exists to make sure no one in the room is qualified to say otherwise.”

Meanwhile, party at Vlad's. And at Xi's
Every it gets worse
Excellent analysis!

Bet on it

And Trump will happliy blame it all on him. Also, when Congress turns over, there will be Benghazi-like hearings.
Hopefully more substantial and successful....
I just happen to be watching Seven Days in May on CNN.
Pretty scary stuff considering….
BRAVO! Excellent call on the incel imbecile.
Haven’t we had more than enough of stupid Presidents?
We'll see!

Seems she's also his binkie.

Well, we all thought tRump didn’t have a chance in hell & look where we are…

A Hegseth presidency might actually be worse than the current regime. Hope it's truly eviserated before it gains any ground.
I feel like Hegseth play acts in the mirror every chance he gets. He’s play acting his job as SECRETARY OF WARRRR
