'Jagoff' Hegseth

[Vrede too]

And those guys would actually trust Trump? Right.

And that's just our own officer corps, let alone China and Russia.

Haven't seen the video, but it sounds like another podium moment much like
Gaza.

This one probably won't have legs.

Trump Wants Denuclearization Talks with Russia, China, Aims to Halve US Military Budget


Does he actually have a plan or is this just the wistful mutterings of a doddering old fool? If the former, I wish him luck.

The announcement is a dramatic about-turn for a Republican president.

For decades, the Republicans have supported bigger and bigger military spending and defense posturing.

As I've been saying. They and the lobbyists they're beholden to will pitch a fit.

It's hard to imagine that DonOLD is serious about this radical transformation when he picked someone as inexperienced, unqualified and generally unpleasant as 'Jagoff' Hegseth to oversee it. I won't hold my breath.

Jan 14, 2025. I did not see this on the MSM news. Maybe they're canceled like NFL streakers.

Veterans Disrupt Pete Hegseth's Secretary of Defense Hearing

CODEPINK

Veterans disrupt the hearing to confirm Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense. “You are a misogynist! Not only that, you are a Christian Zionist!" "We need money here, not to bomb babies in Gaza!" "No money for disasters. Only $8B for Israel to slaughter children"

Whatever nasty things 'Jagoff' Hegseth does they will be able to say that they stood in opposition.

WTF?

[GoCubsGo]

He may be nuts as well as an Islamophobe.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth quietly debuted a new tattoo this week while posting a set of workout photos, sparking fierce backlash among critics who claim it holds a distinctly anti-Muslim message.

The tattoo is the Arabic word “kafir,” which translates to “disbeliever” or “infidel.” Critics say that it clearly brands Hegseth, who is a devout Christian, as an enemy of Islam. It remains unclear when he got the new ink—but the symbol does not appear in photos of Hegseth as recently as several months ago.

What an asshole! His status as a devout Christian is not in doubt for anyone. This is just hate needlessly directed at our Muslim allies.

How his past and current behavior as well as his complete lack of (and now proven) qualifications wasn't disqualifying will forever be a pox on the republican party.

Hell, they've just decided to take the legacy of Nixon to several magnitudes more in intensity and effort. Nixon didn't have a compliant GOP. Hell, the Senators told him to resign or else. That's not gonna happen here. GQP Senators asked Hegseth how many pushups he could do diring his confirmation hearings. Can you imagine Howard Baker asking such a question?

[GoCubsGo]

Lesson learned!

The former staff are NOT "anonymous", there's no hoax and he's a whiny sleazeball for bringing his kids into discussion of his poor management.

White house looking for new Sec Defense?

https://www.npr.org/2025/04/21/nx-s1-53 ... department

The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

...

In the last few weeks, four senior advisers to Hegseth have left abruptly, some accused of leaking. They have all released public statements suggesting infighting within the department of defense.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt denied that there's an effort to replace Hegseth, posting on X that President Trump "stands strongly" behind him.

Nobody could have foreseen that appointing a TV personality could have possibly gone poorly.

Especially one of such high moral standing https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/us/p ... email.html

On behalf of all the women (and I know it’s many) you have abused in some way, I say … get some help and take an honest look at yourself,” Penelope Hegseth wrote, stating that she still loved him.

She also wrote: “I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.”

...

Mr. Hegseth’s mother wrote in the email that she was upset about his treatment of Samantha, writing: “For you to try to label her as ‘unstable’ for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you?”

“She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand,” she said. “Neither did Meredith,” Mrs. Hegseth added, referring to his first wife.

Mrs. Hegseth forwarded a copy of her email to Samantha the same night she sent it to her son, according to documents reviewed by The Times. The Times obtained a copy of the email from another person with ties to the Hegseth family. The email does not describe in detail the circumstances that prompted Mrs. Hegseth to write it.

It's really something when a cultist like Hegseth, well schooled in MAGA LAW (Lying And Whining), fails at it so spectacularly over and over. At Fox news, this kind of shit wouldn't matter. Ah, well. Here we are. I still think Wiles will be the first to quit.

If Wiles quits because of the Hegseth mess I think GoCubsGo and O Really should get credit for an assist.

Fine with me.....but I figure it won't be just one particular thing that makes her resign, but a sort of cumulative and ever increasing level of wingnuttery.
