just because Pete Hegseth was not charged with crimes and would be able to get hired at an Applebee's does not mean he meets the bar for running the Defense Department. you'd hope the standards would be a bit higher.

Putting aside all his infidelities, misogyny, and weird AF Christo-fascist cult shit, shouldn’t a Secy of Defense have actual experience in a leadership position in the US Military? Seems kinda important.
But a person who has been convicted of sex crimes 34 times is eligible in your country to be president and is eligible to lead your nation and make the decisions on who leads your defense department is ok? Tje balance.of tje world is struggling to understand. South Korea just punted their asshole.
One would think so. But here we are with a president-elect who has 34 felonies hanging over his head like a gigantic cloud of grey shit. I guess standards have become obsolete. 😫
Yeah, but when you look at the trumpster's other picks, there are no standards !
Although it does seem to be a requirement that they've all done some criminal shit !
Hell, let the felon have whatever piece of crap he wants. Then when we sink like the Titanic maybe some of the idiots we have in charge will grow a pair and help.
Then again we have an ex-reality tv personality who doesn't live in reality and doesn't have a lick of common sense running our country for a SECOND TIME...
Donnie stole the bar and isn't planning on giving it back. He'll install anyone willing to 'kiss the ring'...
Don't think Applebee's insurance company would let them hire Hegseth. Big potential for sexual harassment lawsuits and personal injury lawsuits due to his on-the-job drinking...
well considering the rest of the govt the standard is pretty damn low. after-all they elected a felon convicted 34x, and most are so unqualified for the job, yet here we are.
If the incoming commander and chief is the baseline for that standard, the there is no standard. BTW as Commander and chief, trump leads the military, how is it the insurrection act doesn't apply to him? As Commander and chief of the armed forces he is the highest ranking in the military Correct?
Sexual assault allegations aside, he is completely unqualified for the job. He's a gd talk show host who has never led any organization beyond his immediate staff, he has no business in charge of anything in DOD, much less the whole thing.
His alcoholism is a huge red flag for employment. I'm not sure what the ADA would say about using it as a filter for employment, but if he shows up drunk, he'll get fired.
I’ve been arguing with some Trumpers on my town’s FB page… To them, since Trump’s charges got dropped, it’s as if they never happened. Totally bizarre.
If it’s the job of a Defense Secretary to launder public money through defense contractors into campaign coffers (rinse, repeat) then I’m pretty sure a drunk sex offender could accomplish that.
I'm a semi retired nuclear engineer Aaron, intel about me if it were the same as Hegseth would have my clearance revoked faster than I could pick up a phone.
Keep looking for that imaginary bar! Keep looking for ‘standards’ from the GOP! Neither exist along with a 💩 load of other governance & common sense! Maybe if we stop looking for them, less hitting our heads against a wall?
Any MAN who hasn't figured out how to get laid by the age of 20 without using date rape drugs, should be banned from ANY responsible position anywhere. ESPECIALLY in government. It's not as hard as you all make it
Just my opinion as ex military but having seen enough less than competent mostly promoted by time in service officers and knowin what it takes to get promoted at a accelerated rate i just my opinion believe he isnt qualified to shine a generals shoes much less lead the whole service
None of Trumps picks are or will be qualified or be the right people for the jobs. His picks are designed to create as much chaos and damage as possible while he gets on with his goal to rape and pillage the entire country while assisting Putin to do the same in Europe!
It’s not a crime thing, yet. Still, it’s a judgment/character thing and presuming there are several other stronger candidates for this critical job, that’s the thing
What actually shocks me is that some Trump nominations are being pulled because there is a concern about standards.
They chose the man who doesn’t demonstrate a single ethical or moral standard. So why care now?
And why would you hope the standards would be higher after America re-elected Trump?

“Panderer Pete” Hegseth might qualify for Applebee’s, but running the Defense Department? Not a chance! America deserves higher standards than Fox News talking points and barroom bravado. SAD!
Too many of our elected officials are themselves seriously unqualified, and yet are convinced that's they are top of the class. This comes with sort of a built in blind spot for ineptitude.
Hegseth is bottom of the barrel. Out of control alcohol, sexual predator. What do we really know about his military record? Only what the lying fascist Rs tell us which is not to be believed. We need a leader not a loser.
Unfortunately I think we've already seen how low the standards actually are for government positions that involve running very important, top-tier level stuff that could potentially lead to very dangerous situations for our country... Unfortunately. 🤷🏽♀️
Roughly 1/3 of eligible voters voted for tramp. No worries, even if the worst nominees are turned away, there will still be sufficient effups in that administration to produce disasters.
The bar in MAGA world is set so low they have to reach up to touch the bottom. 🙄
Also, don’t forget they support a pathological liar, malignant narcissist, conman, convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, & wannabe dictator as their cult leader who they think was sent by their deity. 🙄

Considering the sources
We have no standards anymore
Although it does seem to be a requirement that they've all done some criminal shit !
Has Donnie worked the grill on Applebee's yet🤣🤣
Donnie stole the bar and isn't planning on giving it back. He'll install anyone willing to 'kiss the ring'...
That sounds like a head of Defense department warrior material to me.
Americas enemies will be quaking in their boots.
Because mommy.
Trump said he could shoot someone on fifth avenue, and his mindless fans will follow.
Believe him. One of the few truths he’s spoken. That and blaming Bush for Iraq.
his mommy now says he's a good boy
A rapist 👍

Standards are for other countries.
Yep, this country is f'ked.
Pete Hegseth.
America does not need a dry drunk running Defense. That’s a recipe for disaster.
Me thinks not 🚫

Bad standards?
Probably not. They prefer their staff sober.
They do background checks and drug tests.

That is the trump criteria.
