Trump picked him because he will do exactly what Trump wants with no pushback. Trump elevates losers who become entirely dependent upon Trump because they are in high profile positions far above their abilities. They can only stay at these lofty heights as long as they have Trumps favor.
Satan trump must have people to blame when he fails or when things don't go his way. Did people sleep through the 4 years that he was president? It was a complete and utter disaster. I think people are suffering from brain damage or selective memory.
Many white men don’t want to try hard or work. They just want to have power, money, publicity and sex. Women tend to work very hard because men can’t be counted on at home. They act like Pete.
He’s a truly horrific pick, It’s cronyism at its worst but let’s not confuse the meaning of DEI, as much as the right wing extremists try to twist it, DEI doesn’t mean unqualified.
We were warned for years and now project 2025 is happening in full force and it is terrifying because it will get worse every day...heartbroken for my children, grandchildren...for all the most vulnerable who are living in fear.
You were great on Velshi last night. Your comments about Hegseth were spot on and illuminating and gotta go laugh from your “welcome to the resistance” line about far too little and far too late McConnell.
This is the "meritocracy" at work? Seriously? This is the very best candidate to lead the most powerful military in the world's history? What kind of sick joke is this?!
The Hegseth hire (not to mention Trump) illustrates perfectly why DEI was ever necessary: They want grossly unfit white boys who would’ve been riding around with a holey pillow case and a torch 50 years ago, over qualified nonwhite, nonmale individuals.
Jen Rubin hits the nail on the head. Not merely unqualified and unfit, Hegseth is downright incompetent and ethically compromised. Then again so is the current occupant of the White House. Yet, here we are….
hegseth is incredibly unqualified to lead the DoD.
more, no foreign defense minister will take him seriously, cause hegseth is not a serious person.
the US military will be rudderless.
then there are his character issues.
we're in trouble.
Stop saying DEI. There's nothing DEI about it. It's non-diversity, non-equity, and non-inclusive. If anything, it's affirmative action for unqualified white men.
This is exactly what the absence of DEI and white privilege looks like. This nation is in severe trouble and the GOWP (group of white people) are solely to blame.
Can't help observing it's almost exclusively women often Black women who possess the yarbles to stand up to Trump for the truth and what is right and the rule of law..
Pity and to its great detriment America doesn't have the wisdom to vote one into the Oval Office.
I was born a WASP man, and I can't stomach incompetent posers of any ilk, but especially those who have a substance- abuse habit and cheat on spouses. What a theater of the absurd ! Would laugh sardinically if I didn't know lives will be ruined and lost because of this blatant cronyism.
Trump nominated and despite overwhelming damning evidence the republicans confirmed him any way! THEY picked the right WHITE, RACIST, ANTISEMITIC, BIGOTED, SEXUAL ABUSER AND LIAR to run our country's military!!!
Removing DEI did not mean zero qualifications is acceptable, but that's how podcast socialites and Trump is applying it. Hegseth is a bum and isn't qualified to coach little league.
Men Demanding Some Type Of Guarantee to Be Able To Interfere With Woman's Healthcare, Rates Right Up There With Taking Our Place for Hysterectomy, Mastectomy, Pap Smears. Male Politicians will Face Penalty for All Failures to Comply and Provide Proof.
DEI is about the possibility of broadening the pool. It's best summed up by the phrase, "Just give us a chance and we'll show you what we can do." But no, this is a privileged white boy's only club. Make no mistake, working class white guys like me aren't allowed in either.
He is DEI...DIDN'T EARN IT. Never would have...Never should have. SHAME ON THE GANG OF PSYCHOS. The destruction of the United States Military...ONE bad decision, ONE death...is ON YOUR FN HEADS!!!!!!!
When this band of clowns says meritocracy, they mean aiffirmative action for mediocre, unqualified, white men. This is their death dance power grab, and they're hanging on with all they have.
I hope the leadership of military refuses to listen to him. Take a page from Repubs and resist. Just do as Repubs do. Ignore subpoena, rules and conventions. Delay and cause chaos. Whatever it takes, there are no rules or protocols. Woman up Dems, fight back with whatever it takes!
Congrats Hegseth! I'm sure you'll do great, just like any other blackout drunk with horrific anger management issues has done when they're placed in by far the highest stress role of their entire lives. 👍
ALL the mediocre white guys HATE having to compete with women and minorities for jobs. And HOW DARE these ladies think THEY can do the grueling work these steroid amped dudes can do??? Surely the ladies get easier tests/S

The irony of this picture is him have a pocket sticker saying Big Government Sucks, and now he is in charge of the largest department in the government with approximately 5M employees.

Pay attention to the companies abandoning DEI, that donate to the Heritage Foundation, and that kiss ass. Do your best to avoid them.
If you can, donate to charities that fight, ACLU+
