I don’t care if Pete Hegseth is an alcoholic—if he’d been sober for years and in real recovery, fine. But we all know the type who says, “I’ll quit once I get the job,” or lies about quitting while still drinking. We can spot it a mile away.

His incoherence and outright stupidity proves he has major mental health problems
But the Great Orange Dope doesn’t care
Hegseth is a major ass kisser so that’s what counts
Trump does not like alcoholics but Hegseth brings something that is hard to find in generals. The use of military troops on civilians. Hegseth petitioned Trump to pardon 3 US soldiers with war crimes. He will not limit soldiers harming civilians.
Qualities as a human? None
Ability to be responsible? None
Ability to fuck up? Numerous
Hire this man to run our defense department says all the Rethuglicans.

D. Lying Fools?
E. All of the above?

When confidence is confused with competence.
cf. YOLO, Dunning-Kruger
Usage:
"How did the car end up at the bottom of the lake?"
"He was sure the ice would hold. We told him it wouldn't. But he pulled a Hegseth and went for it."
Because the pros start talking amongst themselves about remedies.
Those promises was bullshit then and they were bullshit when Kegsbreath said 'em.
But NOTHING about Hegseth's behavior suggests that he's even attempting recovery. The man needs help. Being SecDef ensures he won't get it.
See: Ulysses S. Grant.

No thank you!

is the dead giveaway
Hard.
Harder when your default is total denial 24-7.
Not one of them are qualified or competent. And this shit show is just getting started
The way out is for rich people to see other rich people suffer consequence, by which I mean actual jail in real jail while their money is managed by court-appointed dude who does NOT care about the prisoner's wishes.
The speed with which this would stop might affect planetary rotation.
You're either drinking, recovering from drinking (emotionally/physically draining), vowing/praying/wishing you'd never drink again, or planning on how to drink again.
Recovery is a LOT of work.
I wish I had phrased it better, especially now that I see the original comment getting some traction.
I don’t blame him for his addiction.
I blame him for lying and for everyone who could see he’s an addict and hired him anyway bc of his cruelty
They continue to let the bully rule the house. #cowards
It continues today with the alien enemy act-no due process⚠️
I know folks like that, highly functioning alcoholics. But this guy was a TV host who has no clue and is a sloppy mess. He will implode and kill us all
Is she literally covering for him and propping his alcoholism up? 🤨
They’d think you had to be fucking with them.
Stupid Drunk!!! (R-Tard)
Pete Hegseth never tried, as far as anyone can tell.

Recovery requires humility, it requires being uncomfortable and sitting with the harm we did while under the influence.
A good friend of his paid $25,000 to put him through rehab and he was doing really well but then he started dating an alcoholic and he was back where he started.
Before I left him, he made mine and my son's life hell. So unpredictable! But I do feel sorry for him.
My ex's half brother is his guardian, thank God. I don't drink at all, never have. Not sure how I ended up married to an alcoholic.
47 was staffing his cabinet for optics,
"Give me tall white dudes for military presence, a black guy for urban...whatever (urban means black, right?), a few plastic-surgery fem-bots on the front lines, an old lady who reminds me of my 3rd grade teacher for Dept of Education...Yep
Action!"
He's drowning and they keep throwing him more booze.
Never ever ever be a nominee for Secretary of Defense given his job experiences - nor have a Senate that would confirm him
Have a real problem receiving any clearance given his abusive ways
Be sitting in prison for his grave security breaches
And as Agent Smith says: It's the smell.

I can also say with 100% certainty that this is not impressive at all. I also have the same number of Super Bowl rings as Dan Marino.
full on espionage wouldnt be shocking at all with this certifiably corrupt regime
But that isn’t who we are talking about……
And he is my son’s boss. Everyday, this gets worse and I can do nothing.

Helpless in Tennessee
A little bit louder and a little bit worse!
I know this all too well.
no to help
no to accountability
no to owning your mistakes
You can't get sober and build a foundation on hate and lies.
It is impossible. Rigorous honesty is the key ingredient in sobriety. MAGA hate and this anti-Woke nonsense is bullshit.
You can't tell me Hegseth is sober.
But the bigger question is,
"Why does using Signal not automatically get a Cabinet member fired?"
It is operating in the shadows with no FOIA possible on those communications.
But NOT ONE DROP OF ALCOHOL WOULD PASS HIS LIPS if he became SecDef, right? Right?

And most people who know or live with alcoholics have heard these same kind of weak promises over and over.
"Pie crust promises"...easily made, easily broken.
😜😜😜
Still running
Our government has buildings and rooms of equipment to ensure secure communication. They usurped policies for convenience, but also to decimate a paper trail.
I know to never trust anything an alcoholic says about being an alcoholic.
The #1 issue for everyone should be that he petitioned Trump to pardon US soldiers who had been pardoned for war crimes.
He is there because he brings what the generals and Esper did not, use of troops against civilians on US soil.
He isn't. He is a disgraceful pathetic monster who doesn't love America or his family or humanity in general. He is arrogant and entitled and treats everyone as if they are no one.
I wonder about the negotiations all of the time. #hypocrats
