Incredible reporting. Don’t just leave a comment, good folks: read it. What happens when ideology trumps (sorry) competence: you get insecure little men running scared. And, ya know, in charge of very important things.
We can hope he will be removed within days, if not minutes. But he will then be replaced by another self important lackey without knowledge or needing credentials except slavish devotion to his master.
It's insane that 77 million Americans were so gullible they allowed a nutty FELON to con them into letting him back into the White House, where he brought the absolute worst & most incompetent people with him, like drunk sexual predator Pete Hegseth.
Those Americans doomed our nation - Putin's plan
From Trump's smeared-on clown makeup (that apparently is so normal that nobody even remarks on it anymore) to Noem's ridiculous hair extensions, the entire thing is weird cosplay and I apologise to actual cosplayers who do good work.
And as for Starship Troopers, it's there with Robocop and Total Recall as Verhoeven films that dumb fascists don't understand that they're the subject being satirised.
Excellent. Utterly surreal how a minor Fox News host can continue to playact at one of the most important jobs in the country and the world. Trump’s America. A complete farce.
These people would all be unemployable in the private sector, and those who play-act as professionals all *failed* in their actual profession before getting into this.
This is nuts! The fact that Laura Loomer had a say about anything at the Pentagon is outrageous! “On April 2, Laura Loomer met with the president in the Oval Office and gave him a list of around a dozen officials she wanted fired”.
Apologies for the typos but it just pisses me off so much when they’re like “when a republican finally acknowledges the truth that’s brave” - pure ideological capture, easy marks who take themselves too seriously easy pray for con artists like hegseth
@gtconway.bsky.social has enjoyed highlighting almost every nook and cranny of your story on Hegseth, which has made the whole thing doubly entertaining for me, though one cannot lose sight of the dark reality we face with him at the helm of DoD! Kudos on the story!
This is the best feature I've read all year. Just incredibly well-written, and the structure of every single turn in the story is IMMACULATE. Amazing work!
I love the recurring notice of Hegseth's main obsession: '“No more pronouns,” Hegseth told Special Forces at a conference in Tampa. “No more dudes in dresses.”'
Don't worry Americans. It's not like he's got anything better to do when Israel doesn't respect Trump enough to wait before bombing Iran. He's sending the marines west instead of east to control protestors in LA because good federal policy entails waging war on your most powerful and useful state.
Your big story made for great reading and now I’m scared of what’s to come for the US as Israel ramps up unrest in the Middle East with its attack on Iran.
I can't stop laughing at very serious military officials walking into Hegseth's office and finding themselves surrounded by giant glamor shots of his wife.

AMAZING! Fantastically-written, thank you.
If we are to succeed in any military defense, he has to be jettisoned.
Bitch, we all said while it was unpopular, YEARS before, before we even went. What’s dolt.

Every Republican senator who voted to confirm him should be tossed out of office.
Great story, Kerry.
Which is a competition that nobody wants.
