Do not pick this guy. He and his wife are big time grifters. He’s installed only DeSantis loyalists into positions of power. Removed 39 elected officials and replaced them with his minions.
The guy can’t run a State let alone the DOD.
If he does it, Dems better be all over DeSantis’s work at Gitmo. Republicans won’t be able to stop themselves from defending the torture program. It’ll give Dems the chance to show the public just how pro-war the Republicans are.
Don't damn me! It's not MY fault we've been so exposed to toxic mental waste from the orange horror that at this point I can make guesses as to what his Head like a Hole will contain resonating in its void...
It’s the kiss of death to be nominated by Trump. Did Hegseth actually think none of his past would come out? That stupidity alone should disqualify him.
Not to mention his broken bromance with sex predator Gaetz and Ronnie’s alleged attendance at drinking parties with teen girls during his stint as a history teacher. Get to work, investigative reporters!
Everything is transactional with him so this makes sense in his world. Gets daughter-in-law the senate seat and makes room for Gaetz to run for Gov? Hope ethics committee releases report this year.
DeStantis would be totally fine with deploying US military to enforce martial law declared by Trump. But then that's probably true of any Trump SecDef pick.
Take it from this Floridian: he has nothing but contempt for civil liberties, has already passed legislation restricting protests, and will be happy to use military against demonstrators.
Knowing that, he'd be an idiot to accept the nomination, which probably means he's going to accept the nomination if offered ... but I also would feel a LOT better about Defense being able to work around him ...
I didn’t realize that collecting urine samples in the military qualified a person to control the entire military, and by extension, be responsible for the safety of the entire American population. 🤦🏻♀️
I read all about that in a book earlier this year and completely forgot about it until you just mentioned in now. He was like the legal advisor for Gitmo's operations or something? Known for giving the OK to orders which his position was meant to prevent from ever occurring, like torture and assault
Of the biggies, this is the least impactful. Bondi, Patel, Miller, OMB Head will do far more damage. Military institution has enormous built in resistance.

Why did that strike me as so funny? 🤭 (in a very respectful way ☺️)
If so, were you in a coma during his first administration?
When MAGAS get their welfare, social security & Medicare cut, they can thank their Dear Líder.
Wait till beer prices & street drugs go up ☺️
Stupidity is costly.

The first assistant urinalysis coordinator ever nominated to a cabinet position. 😳
