Pete Hegseth's unique combination of inexperience, ignorance and defective character are a threat to our national security.

Reposted from Stephanie Kennedy

The Pentagon has collapsed into a state of complete disarray under the failed leadership of Pete Hegseth.

Signal scandals, multiple leaks, deceptions, and infighting have culminated to throw the Pentagon into a state of utter chaos.

All this according to former top spokesperson…

rosariovpendleton.bsky.social•13 days ago

It is incredibly insane to me that he was allowed to hold this position at all. Senate republicans are absolute morons!

ronhitchens.bsky.social•13 days ago

Sadly, Hegseth's flaws are not unique in the Trump administration.

millerhopes.bsky.social•13 days ago

Alas, his combination of inexperience, ignorance and defective character isn’t as unique to this regime as one would wish.

myanulrich.bsky.social•13 days ago

The character flaws are most evident.

This whole admin is running on a platform of owning the libs and project 2025. Quite the policiy.

bizob.bsky.social•13 days ago

And he was always a threat, yet he was still confirmed. Congress owns this mess!

resist365.bsky.social•13 days ago

The GOP regime & US military need to be reminded that even PLANNING a “war of aggression” is a “crime against peace.” It was prosecuted RETROACTIVELY @ Nuremberg & when Trump’s fascism is defeated, the US WILL CONSENT under Dem control to ICC & you’ll all be prosecuted! HANDS OFF CANADA & GREENLAND!

thelordgod.bsky.social•13 days ago

This goes without saying... But it's good to repeat often.

antiss.bsky.social•13 days ago

My feel is something really bad has to happen before everything wakes up. Unfortunately, that.

Fascist morons are great at breaking things. They are just incapable of fixing or improving them.

Joni Ernst (Iowa)
Thom Tillis (NC)
You are accountable for this mess
because you truly knew better!
Vote them out!

mountaineer14.bsky.social•13 days ago

Thom Tillis threw Hegseth’s sister in law under the bus because he’s too afraid to vote any way other than Trump told him to. No trust in Thom Tillis. NC deserves better.

callanrm.bsky.social•13 days ago

He ticked ALL of Trump's boxes for an ideal candidate

The question I still struggle with is how much is deliberate in these picks? Not so much 4D chess as 3D Rampage

dalatindiva.bsky.social•13 days ago

Why have we not 25th Amendment yet?

nursegenius1019.bsky.social•13 days ago

Unique combination. Special features. Utterly complete incompetence

Who could have forseen this happening?

beachbard.bsky.social•13 days ago

The entire Trump Regime suffers Dunning-Kruger Effect on steroids. Or Peter Principle cubed.
Completely more confident than capable.
Total inability to admit lack of knowledge or weakness or to rely on knowledge of established experts.
Move fast & break things leaves a lot of damage in its wake.

Except his attributes are not unique

They are the required attributes for almost all of the administrations senior appointments ….probably need to add lack of intellect though

That's why he was chosen to lead the first wave of cleansing

The Trump administration is far and away the gravest threat to US national security, including WWII.

kathyresists.bsky.social•13 days ago

Where are the actual leaders of the military branches? What are they saying or doing?

pjoy25.bsky.social•13 days ago

Armchair psychologist here; Hegseth's behavior reminds me of a very immature grade school kid with an, "I know something you don't know" attitude who then proceeds to share/brag about the valuable information he knows to God knows who.
This idiot is totally unfit to be Sec of D. Just sayin'.

thejenniwren.teamlh.social•13 days ago

Pete Hegseth leaked classified war plans—twice. He endangered U.S. troops, violated protocol, and handed sensitive info to unauthorized people. ENOUGH. Demand Congress REMOVE HIM NOW. It takes 2 mins & it's FREE. Send my letter via Resistbot: https://resist.bot/petitions/PPWWJW

Terrific: Why do an Iran deal when the US military & its security apparatus is imploding.

Idiotic MAGA Congress is more concerned with immigrants working in landscaping, farming & construction instead of the Drunken Tattooed White Supremacist running the Pentagon into the ground.

madden1287.bsky.social•13 days ago

Just like our country is falling into despair… I sit back and just truly can’t imagine how people are so DUMB, they can’t see through Trump and how he is damaging our country just so him and his elites can benefit! It doesn’t take a genius to realize this shit

I can’t imagine working your entire career to make 4 Star General and having to work for & deal with this idiot.

As a former member of the USAF it’s such a slap in the face & insult 2 the personnel that currently serve & our vets. Pete & DT hv made a mockery of the DOD & the world is taking note.

That’s why Trump picked him and Republicans voted to confirm him. It’s a coup. Don’t fall for Republicans’ Bernie Bernbaum act. They know they can rise up together and end this now, but some of them will go to prison for insurrection. Question is how many. How many are protecting conspirators?

Thank you for reminding me of that. I had completely forgot about that. That definitely is a textbook definition of this entire administration.

callanrm.bsky.social•13 days ago

My theory is that competent, or even sane - people trigger his inadequacies and he then projects these onto them. Morons like Hegseth don't upset him - and he no doubt sees himself in them - so that's who he hires

ksh74.bsky.social•13 days ago

That's a very plausible theory considering he has always surrounded himself with sexual deviants and (on the record) frauds and liars.

Hegseth is emblematic of the total Trump/Republican administration. Full of incompetent/unqualified people.
