Who could have thought that making a wildly unqualified, drunken bigot who championed war criminals and thinks the key to 21st century warfare is pushups the Secretary of Defense would go poorly, with mismanagement of the Pentagon?

Damn shame. The whole thing is a shit show. One wannabe tv celebrity takes down the United States-all the folks with education and supposedly brains can’t won’t do a thing to stop it. Here we are. Btw how about that Ukrainian comedian fella- he is a true president-a hero and a leader. Go figure.
Unfit, alcoholic rapist Pete should never have been confirmed. Shame on the ignorant Senators who voted for him… and the hillbilly VP who voted to break the tie 😡 to confirm
Ever wonder what happened to the Russian military - Well, Putin (in order to ensure he maintained power) put loyalty boards in place & replaced the leadership with his political lackeys.
Most Americans thought he would do just what is occurring. The cowardly GOP all voted in lockstep to elect Trump's cabinet. They will be held accountable just like Trump. America will not submit to authoritarianism. We'll fight until we take back our country. Being rich doesn't mean intelligence.
No. Homer, for all his many flaws, is a good person. He might start down this path for stupid reasons, but he wouldn't do a lot of what Hegseth has done. The way Lisa looks at him would be enough.
Now Wondering? Trump put a half-Keystone Cop/half FOX blowhard to lead the Pentagon. Which is now in chaos and drift. Bullseye for adversaries. Would Constitution-abiding Generals (in service, retired, and fired) step into the juvenile-led sandbox and deal with the authoritarian-leaning damage?
"To lose one staffer may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose two looks like carelessness. Three is outright negligence and four is a clusterfuck of incompetence."
I'm really hoping this means the US military is against the Cult because the Trump coup won't be complete until they get sent out to kill his opposition
"The Pentagon has been beset by a series of leaks in recent weeks, including the disclosure of (hypothetical?) military plans for the Panama Canal, U.S. carrier movement in the Middle East, the halting of intelligence gathering on behalf of Ukraine, and a briefing at the Pentagon with Elon Musk."
IF this #Hegseth person did do a CUT of Classified text from a program on a SIPRNet server, and IF he PASTED it into an Unclassified "Signal" chat on a NIPRNet server--then it's Not, "Inadvertent Disclosure".
That Would Be A Dangerous #Criminal Act Causing Serious Damage To The National Security.
Who would’ve thought that putting a Fox & Friends Weekend co-host with a known drinking problem and zero qualifications in charge of the Department of Defense would end in disaster?

It’s the superhero theory of warfare: wars are won by strong, tough men, as opposed to strategy, tactics, armament, construction, supply, logistics, etc.
Hegseth’s entire body isn’t big enough to stop all the leaks ! This is just the beginning of the awakening of people’s consciousness and survival mechanisms 🧌
So the DOD guy with an Atlantic Reporter on his contact list fires his staffers for alleged leaks from the DOD?
Crazy, but unfortunately the norm for this clown show.
ALL of us who served knew it would not go well. Though it is the practice to assign a civilian to the DOD lead role, most of them had significant management, leadership and/or diplomatic experience. They also sought the counsel of their top military leaders. It's a 🤡 show.
there is one good reason I don't expect them to try to declare martial law and put troops in the streets and its because they're making more and more of the military hate them every damn day.
Trump and Hegseth (and all Trump toadies)are weakening us ON PURPOSE. They are not fulfilling their oaths to uphold the Constitution. Congress? Do you want America to kowtow to Russia? WTF are you all doing?
'elect a rich businessman to run the country!' - the reason why he's bankrupted 6 times is he's TERRIBLE at it and surrounds himself with the worst people.
That article continues to lie on behalf of this stupid admin
‘Houthi rebel targets in Yemen with more than a dozen officials in the chat, to which National Security Advisor Michael Waltz accidentally added Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg.’
Any communications method that has the possibility of mistakenly adding an uncleared individual is an unsecured communications medium. And a violation of security protocols and operational security guidelines. Plebs get prison time for doing this.
The depth of dishonor, damage, failure, corruption, criminality & cruelty of this POTUS, VP & minions has no bottom. A stain on their families, party and our nation. A convicted felon with a lifetime record of dishonor, bankruptcies & failed relationships is ruling USA, Sad! #ProtectTheConstitution🇺🇸

Life in a wheelchair isn’t always easy, but I’m determined to keep moving forward. I’m fundraising for an enclosed mobility scooter to stay active, independent, and connected. Every bit of help counts. Your kindness fuels my journey. Details on my GoFundMe. A share or gift. https://gofund.me/0af928df
I wish there had been betting when this clown (Hegseth) was put into his chair. All I worry about is him trying to call himself a fellow United States Veteran around me. Not at all sure what I would do, ya'll.
They realized they work for a foreign enemy asset, hell-bent on destruction of everything they spent a career building and protecting. He probably ripped the Constitution off the wall and replaced it with a portrait of tRUmp. Every Republikkklan/Democrat who voted for tRUmp nominees, own this, 100%!
These people were hired to destroy these agencies, that's why none are fired or reprimanded, they work for our enemies and against America. They will hand the country over to our enemies as soon as they gain enough control. It's them or America, not both, it's time to release the safety. jmo.
I think this is perfect. When Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, which we all know he is going to do, no one is going to listen to DUI hire Hegseth. The real military leaders will take over and that's how we get our country back.
Former infantry here. Cosplaying cops would be absolutely destroyed if the military sides with the people. Cops are used to attacking unarmed civilians who can’t legally fight back. They have no idea the kind of devastation we would inflict on them and their woefully out of date M113s, etc.
We knew he was not qualified,nor did he have the needed professionalism needed to manage this job.His life is unsettled, he has a drinking problem and a lack of commitment issues.Yet here he is ,way in over his head. Floundering,alone,his keeper removed, And Called a leaker.

A gift for the 19th. Use it wisely.
Why were exactly 19 people added to that ill-fated March 11th #SignalGate chat? Why were they so anxious to stop talking about it? Alas, certain lies have a nasty habit of returning to haunt you, at the worst possible time… https://sevenstarhand.medium.com/exposing-the-signalgate-19-fiasco-d4033c5b4e9e
Especially when they have been so desperate to bury the story. Pandora's box, Achilles heel, and a whole season of Fargo fiascos, all wrapped up together. The fun has just begun...
Some CEOs keep contingency to do lists for dealing with business continuity
In emergencies. Trump administration keeps a list of distractions to cause chaos to refocus f*ck up fallout. They are very efficient at it. Distraction Du Jour…
Hope/Pray for more of this kind of news. We all know he’s trash, a racist, habitual liar (proven FACT). If this keeps up maybe, just maybe top brass can get him ousted. Anyone is better than him at this point. BUT also remember 50 republicans voted for him, and they should be held responsible.
pushups are a way to determine if you are physically fit for the battlefield or will cost others their lives trying to carry you off the battlefield. I also wish local police had some sort of physical standard requirement.
From now on, if I click a link, and that link leads me to a page that says I have to turn off my adblocker to proceed, I block the person who posted that link
Here we go. Just as Fox News was never news, this fall up son was never a US military vet. What he was and is is an opportunist racist bigot that was and is a Nazi befouling the uniform of our military every moment he was in it.
It’s like that saying that you’re known by the company you keep. Your choice of associates reveals something about your own character & values. Hegseth’s a reflection of 🍊🤡 and vice versa.
This has got to STOP!! This man is not qualified to be in such a high level position this is our United States Military. Senators you knew this too, you did not, and do not have a right to act stupidly to a party which is not your top concern Our country systems gov is what your elected to serve.
It’s going to take years to recover from this adminstration. Americans love the U.S Constitution and Laws it gave us we learned it in elementary school. 95% of us don’t make 320.000.00+ yearly we want qualified smart people in our gov. majority care more about that then party we’re civilized.

He’s said everything’s totally cool on the Signal chat I got invited to
👊🇺🇸🔥
Go back under your bridge Hegseth
His credentials are : vlogging. 🤡
And Trump is doing the SAME thing
"To lose one staffer may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose two looks like carelessness. Three is outright negligence and four is a clusterfuck of incompetence."
These are the assholes Trump is empowering. And isnt impersonating an officer a crime?
That Would Be A Dangerous #Criminal Act Causing Serious Damage To The National Security.
Military readiness is one of our bedrock priorities-look what happens when MAGA takes over!
By the way, remember Afghanistan?
Pete Hegseth Is paranoid.
A "paranoid person"
is someone who is characterized by
extreme suspiciousness
and mistrust,
often believing that others
are trying to harm them
or deceive them,
even without
a strong basis for these beliefs.

(Oh crap! I shouldn’t make jokes like that…)
Appointed by the guy with 34 felonies that paid for 5 deferments to avoid service to country. Go figure.

It was NOT AN “accident” it was a MISTAKE
STUPID COWARDS & LIARS
for their State Senators & House Members?
Do they have trouble finding SMART BRAVE Republicans now?
🤷♂️
Never forget Signalgate!
YOU wont ever compare when YOU don't ever Compete
Period.Point.Blank✊🏾
A UNITED STATES Vet remembers the Oath.
Any boob can be in any military for nothing.
South Korea already showed us how it's done.
Gaming out a military v cops situation is weird though
