Nominations can continue to be blocked. Just because these are "better" than Hegseth doesn't mean they should be accepted. Every candidate should be reasonable (no felons, sex pests) have some expertise in the area of the appointment & go through FBI clearance process.
I'm kind of OK with Kinky Boots Ron at this point. He's not picking any decent human being so he can at least get that sad sack of shit out of the state of Florida for a while
Is Trump's strategy (if he has one) to just nominate the dumbest dumbfuck he can think of, then when that dumbfuck gets booed off the stage to nominate the second dumbest dumbfuck he can think of? 'Cause that seems to be his strategy.
The very that the convicted felon has put forward these candidates as first choice speaks volumes for the moral compass he has, there isn’t one by the way.
Oh crappola. Not a single qualified person proposed yet for any of these important positions in government. What the actual hell? These are serious jobs.
We need another shove out like Gaetz. Nominate DeSantis, get him to resign his Governor's gig, then block him out of an appointment. Get thee to Cameo, cretin.
Ernst is no brainer pick. Desantis? Hagerty? Lol? Hagerty just look at time crime rate in Tennessee? hagerty, Blackburn and bill lee ignored public safety there for ages
I would hope it would be Jodi Ernst. I don’t agree with her on much, if anything — but she is a veteran and hasn’t completely lost her mind — not yet anyway.
Good Morning America reported this morning that DeSatan & Trump met about the position on Tuesday so who knows. I’d be happy to get him out of Florida.
Hey, shitstain. I have Trans friends, too. More than 3. All of them say this is transphobic and you are the one clutching pearls in defending this so hard.
Have you laughs with your 3, that's great. However, you fail to understand that there is more than yall that matter.
Go clutch your pearls. I’m in no mood to deal with strangers on social media. I gave up Twitter because of MAGA’s, and you’re no better than a MAGA with your pearl clutching.
FYI, I asked 3 trans friends, all AMAB, if they think this is transphobic, and they said NO. One lives in Florida, and hates DeSantis, as we all do. Go clutch your pearls, elsewhere, and Go Fuck Yourself, Loser.
Doubt it, but even in the unlikely event this is true, tokenizing your 3 transgender friends and using them as a shield for your problematic posts ain’t it. Delete your account.
Trump sees this as an office admin appointment not a leadership appointment.
She’s another Eva Braun who will be used up & thrown to the gutter the minute she no longer becomes useful to dear leader.
Why don’t he get somebody to qualify somebody? It’s actually in the military who’s been running the military in some fashion why does he have to give somebody who kisses his ass?
Ernst would be interesting politically. It would mean another GOP seat up in 26. I imagine the 3 GOP House members all would be interested in the appointment, but that would mean another multi-month vacancy. If bad year for GOP, Dem opportunity.
No one can excuse them for not supporting a green economy when they keep searching through their recycling bin. 🌍♻️🗑️ #GreenEconomy #Garbage #ActForThePlanet
She knows a lot about the service as a veteran, she is well aware of the harassment in the service, and she is well respected by members of the senate.
Man or woman, he’ll have a hard time naming a sane member in the service considering his suckers and losers remark.
He’ll have a hard time finding another Esper.
It’ll be Haggerty. Or, he’ll announce it’s DeSantis, who gives up the governorship, then Trump pulls the football. No way trump would waste an opportunity to humiliate him.
Her biggest draw back is she is a Trump supporter. That kind of insanity should not be in charge of troops. And suddenly National Guard service is okay, but when it was Walz he was a “weekend warrior”.
He had no trouble appointing Tulsi Gabbard and Elise Stafenik within his administration.
As I said about the respect she has during all her time in the senate.
That respect may move easier to confirm her.
Someone within his advisors may start to name not so many crazies within.
His level of unseriousness is staggering. He honestly thinks the head of these agencies do nothing and as long as they kiss his ring it’s the only qualification needed.
I live in Florida and I have no idea who the lieutenant governor is. I'm sort of ashamed to say that, but my absolute aversion to DeathSantis has made me block out anything related to the state executive branch.
He's a creep and would make a terrible SecDef but I'd love to say 👋👋👋
Jeanette Nuñez is the Lieutenant Governor. She's made charming statements like "any Cubans who are here illegally will be bused to Delaware" and intimidating staffers of the Miami-Dade school board.
Lucky for her, she only pretends to be smart. She done zero since elected and her claim to fame is she sneaks in little farm parlance every time she gets in front of the camera like she's always talking to yokels who only understand farming.
Loomer detests Desantis- That’s a big + for him. Has he raped anyone lately? Sincerely doubt trump will choose a cabinet member who hasn’t raped. Back to the drawing board president rapey mcrapist..Joni Ernst? A girl in the military? What will Hegseth say?! Very complicated..
w/ the almost certainty now of tariffs, and Trump's history of widespread ethanol exemptions on refiners, i would expect Ernst to not be a viable nominee to the RNC, if they have any sense in their heads.
a special election in 2025 could be... troublesome.
I could possibly stand Ernst, but she made her displeasure known about Hegseth possible pick! That might disqualify her by the MAGA idiots! Anyone except DeathSantis on my erasable bingo card would be better now!
No way in hell he is "mulling options." He's watching TV & social media to find the people who praise him the most.
"Mulling options" sounds like work.
I hate Joni Ernst passionately BUT she would be the least awful of this lot. She is a veteran. Is against women getting beat up and raped which is an oddly high bar these days. Conversely, Trump would NEVER choose a woman to lead the big manly military.
She’s also a vet who served as a Commanding Officer in Iraq & later in Iowa National Guard. I don’t like her politics, but she has far more military experience than anyone else being mentioned. I don’t think Hagerty has any!
This is how it works. Float someone/something totally insane. Back off and float someone/something 99% as insane and people think they've succeeded in beating you down.
Look we don't Ron here in Florida but for defense secretary come on. We are really playing the game of guess who. How can you take this seriously. Look what he had done in Florida and he gets to move up. WTF!!! all I can say congratulations you won Trump supporters.
Any of these three would be better than hegsath. I loathe my gov but he is a Harvard law Grad who served in the Jag in Iraq. He hasn’t been accused of assault Or anything. Ernst would be fine. I don’t know the other guy but he has to be better than Pete.
Comments
To the GOP women are nothing more than tokens.
Hegseth out.
DeSantis in for Hegseth.
Gaetz in for DeSantis.

Step back a second and ask yourself how you would view someone doing this over a badly photoshopped meme mocking white, straight men.
Maybe sit with that and ask yourself how “woke” you actually are.
“I have trans friends” is not a defense. It’s a confession that you just want an excuse to be edgy and insensitive.
Have you laughs with your 3, that's great. However, you fail to understand that there is more than yall that matter.
DO BETTER.
You made it a contest by saying you and your 3 Trans friends, soooo I win.
I've reported your post for transphobia because whether or not you think it isn't, it is.
You belong with the magats. Go back to Xitter and tell your jokes there.
Dipshit.
Hmm... 🤔
Be better you fucking loser
She’s another Eva Braun who will be used up & thrown to the gutter the minute she no longer becomes useful to dear leader.
Which country will take me? I'm close to booking the next thing smokin out of this hellhole we're about to become.
Russian Troll Farm found in Tn!
I'll pass on him, too!
He’ll have a hard time finding another Esper.
As I said about the respect she has during all her time in the senate.

Joni Ernst, never been my favorite but she might actually be ok. Maybe. The Tennessee guy I have no opinion.
He's a creep and would make a terrible SecDef but I'd love to say 👋👋👋

They are ALL unqualified or compromised!
That’s not a thing in Trump world.
And, no one else besides Trump is permitted to wear shoe lifts in Trump's presence.
I’ll take the cheating drunkard .
Got it 🤦♀️🤦♀️
