So there is just not ANYONE with actual leadership experience and that’s less rapey, drinky drink, and who has not run a nonprofit into the ground?! Anyone??
Hegseth is NOT QUALIFIED for the job......period. That is the first point.....his total lack of good character, ethics, professionalism, accountability, respect and civility...a reckless and dangerous man ANYWHERE...I do not know why this is even being considered....
Let’s stop beating a dead horse and get on with more important things to cover in regards his choices. What about the rest of the deadbeats , conflicts of interest and out of the McBurgers decisions he’s made.. let’s hear about them.
We need to stop pretending that DOD is some small non profit, it is a giant enterprise with people’s lives on the line and nuclear codes. This isn’t some vet charity or talk show.
Now now: Mistakes were made, as gropey Bill Clinton would say. The GOP/Todd Aiken/Billo "legitimate rape" caucus -- she was dressed, btw, in a very short skirt -- is now sporting a purloined robe of lifetime unaccountability ...

Alcoholics who get sober and work at recovery can be great leaders. Alcoholics who keep drinking are ticking time bombs. But with this sensitive of position, I would consider excluding him regardless of recovery or not.
He’s a douche. Excuse the phrase…I just don’t know how else to crystallize the concept of a whiney, assaulter, adulterer, alcoholic, misogynist, morally bankrupt lying, financially illiterate jackass into one term.

This could go bad very fast.
Sounds like being a PoS was a requirement.
We have been paying a lot of attention to these bozos and not a lot mentioned about the Project 2025 peeps and what they are cooking up.
We need more info on this
I guess we could just call him Don Jr.
He is an Alcoholic ✓
He is a sexual predator ✓
