So hard to believe.

Pete Hegseth's behavior has become "erratic," and he seems increasingly "insecure" about his job and standing in the admin.

Officials who operate in Hegseth's vicinity describe him as difficult and prickly, and said that he berates and yells at the staff.

I once had an alcoholic boss. Nasty POS in the morning, offered me the world after a liquid lunch.

metaphysicalist.bsky.social•16 hours ago

He's either drinking too much, or not drinking enough.

bossylefty.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Too much.

The objection to Hegseth's nomination was not merely that he was inexperienced or incompetent but rather that he as a person was *inherently unsuited* to such a critical leadership role.

bchadhill.bsky.social•16 hours ago

The critics were right: Hegseth – a bully and a lout with an overinflated ego – won't be "fixed," even with better aides and more time on the job.

davisleedowns.bsky.social•13 hours ago

I think you are spot on.

hillaryshouldawon.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Shocking! 😳

rushstreetblues.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Think about the previous Secretary of Defense. Like them or not, agree with them or not, none of them were childish. Hegseth's explanations to the camera looks like he's on drugs. He's an embarrassment; he's dangerous to the security of the USA.

zen1924.bsky.social•14 hours ago

He's an alcoholic who will buckle under the stress of being in over his head. He will drink more and screw up more.

This is sarcasm, right?

dvdrbnsn.bsky.social•16 hours ago

He was more likeable when he was drinking.

vladlen.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Tipical alcoholic.

notgivingupaz.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Alcoholics are like that.

toxicmaletraits.bsky.social•16 hours ago

... but his credit he will never wear a tan suit.

susabelle84.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Alcohol withdrawal????

bossylefty.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Psychosis and paranoia are well-documented symptoms of heavy alcohol consumption. Given his recent public gaffes, it would seem unlikely that he would be DECREASING his intake.

susabelle84.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Ok that works too!!!

bbut59.bsky.social•12 hours ago

It’s hard to give up drinking,all these acts could be a sign that he is not handling it well.

dermann51.bsky.social•16 hours ago

"become"? Do people ever read history?

brunopara.bsky.social•16 hours ago

withdrawal symptoms...

bossylefty.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Unlikely. He's much more likely to have INCREASED his consumption as a reaction to recent stress and embarrassment.

stephaniefbrown.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Yeah, no one saw this coming.

delightw2023.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Spiralling.

koconnie.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Snowflake, huh? Didn’t see that coming!

ponies3.bsky.social•9 hours ago

He’s a drinking drunk or a dry drunk - neither is pleasant to be around. He’s definitely incompetent.

anninapersisted.bsky.social•15 hours ago

When the boss is hated by all his employees

stitcheewoman.bsky.social•16 hours ago

He's a toxic male drunkard.

davisleedowns.bsky.social•16 hours ago

His mannerisms and behavior remind me of a high school sophomore.

bossylefty.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Paranoia in an alcoholic? Really?

stephanieshultz.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I am truly shocked and by truly I really mean, I’m not

shafawn.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Full of sound & fury, signifying nothing. He’s part of a tale told by a narcissistic idiot who doesn’t care about anything but his own image. Reversal of a Trump decision looks “weak.” We’re stuck with Petey. Cross your fingers.🤞🏼

slowlysippingtea.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Shocking.

greenilady.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Shocked I tell ya.....I am just shocked.

birchmoon32.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Right? He seems so professional and well adjusted, and is just oozing common sense and class.

nunyarunii.bsky.social•16 hours ago

He’s got nothing to worry about…

He could burn the place to the ground and Trump would still love him if he got on Faux News and blamed Nancy Pelosi.

alphiesnowbear.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Waiting for him to come staggering into a meeting and tossing his cookies all over the war plans.

anniepruana.bsky.social•16 hours ago

To be fair Trump didn’t have a pool of intelligent, competent experienced officials to choose from as they refuse to comply. The scary thing is incompetent not too bright entertainment channel host may be the best Trump could get.

davisleedowns.bsky.social•13 hours ago

I believe you’re spot on.

jeffreyhf.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Just who we need in charge of the DOD, an erratic, paranoid, drunk, prone to reckless behavior.

jcm75.bsky.social•16 hours ago

He just needs a drink or two to function. No big deal.

grainofssand.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I really thought he’d grow into the role!

conniesjolie.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Whatever made you think that?

grainofssand.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I dunno. He just has all the hallmarks of a brilliant leader 🤦‍♀️ 😂

conniesjolie.bsky.social•10 hours ago

I didn't realize you were being facetious. Sorry.

conniesjolie.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Oh, for Pete's sake. He's a complete & utter asshole, leading the world to complete & utter disaster. Here. I have a deal for you. Ever heard of the Brooklyn Bridge?

conniesjolie.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Here's your brilliant leader:

davisleedowns.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Nope!

Well he does have an alcohol problem

patrickrcrotty.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Remember all those news stories about Lloyd Austin texting battle plans to family members and random journalists and screaming at his subordinates? Me neither.

phillysky.bsky.social•16 hours ago

fwiw, He is displaying classic traits of a high functioning alcoholic.
