Only wine sipping suburban liberal Democrat women, who harangue their husbands on who to vote for, believe this shit.

Pete Hegseth forced out of non-profit leadership roles for misconduct – report
President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, was reportedly forced out of two leadership roles at veteran-focused non-profits amid allegations of financial mismanagement, drunkenness and sexist behavior.

A lengthy account in the New Yorker, based on interviews with whistleblowers, described Hegseth’s behavior at two organizations where he held leadership positions: the Koch-backed group Concerned Veterans for America (CVA) and the “AstroTurf” billionaire-backed Vets for Freedom (VFF).
Was Hegseth not forced out of these organizations?

As far as the sexual assault allegations from 2017, there was a police report - Police report reveals assault allegations against Hegseth, Trump’s pick for defense secretary

Did the woman make the allegation because it was just another typical "interaction between a super wealthy dude and women"?


People who say that the 2020 election was stolen from trump, that Democratic leaders calling trump a fascist/Hitler led to the assassination attempts, etc. shouldn't be getting their panties in a bunch over unproven allegations trump or his appointees.

Has Hegseth denied any of this other than the sexual assault?
Did he deny taking his team to a strip club? Or drunkenly yelling “kill all Muslims”?

Imagine if he’d said kill all Christian’s or kill all Jews.

Trump has nominated Kelly Loeffler as SBA Administrator. A much better fit for her than Agriculture, IMO.

Rumors are swirling that Trump is considering ditching Hegseth and replacing him with DeSantis. I'm not sure about this one. Sure, DeSantis is a Sailor, but he's a JAG. Do we really want a lawyer running the Pentagon? I mean, Harmon Rabb he is not....

DeSantis is a much better pick than Hegseth, I'd make that move in an instant. Hegseth is just a personality, and a controversial one at that. At least DeSantis has administrative experience. Defense is a relatively large enterprise after all.

"Its typical Trump. All bluster very little substance. He talks a tough game. But then when pressed on it, he's an armchair tough guy. I hate to say it but this is a guy who said John McCain was not a war hero, yet he sought his own five military deferments." - Pete Hegseth

At least hes capable of seeing the truth if you can dry him out, or appears to be anyway. :coffee:





And his mommy says he's a good boy, no matter what she wrote about him before... :rofl:

I didn't mean that from the perspective of vs. Hegseth; DeSantis is CLEARLY a better choice than Hegseth. I'm looking for someone with more military leadership experience, particularly from an operational perspective. Someone like ADM Michelle Howard...

Nick Fuentes needs a place in this administration. Now that he’s been arrested for battery he’s even further aligned with the gang.

1. She's qualified.

2. She would upset the apple cart with the libs who claim that Trump is both a racist and a misogynist. (Despite the fact that Trump is the first President ever to appoint an African-American female general officer.)

Is that enough to overcome all of the evidence that he is a mysogynist?
  • accused of sexual assault/rape by 26+ women
  • bribed a porn star and a Playboy model to cover up infidelity (the porn star while his 3rd wife was home caring for their baby)
  • Is on record as stating "grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."
  • 5 children with 3 different women
  • cheated on his 1st wife with the women who would become his 2nd wife
  • multiple allegations of going into beauty pageant dressing rooms without warning and with females, including underage girls, in various states of undress.
That's a whole lot of allegations and known facts, not an isolated incident or two.
