His social behavior in failing at running two veterans charities, allegations of sexual harassment, and his drinking issues, all based on witness testimony and his own admissions, would be disqualifying for any administrative job.

I wouldn’t hire him to run a 9-hole daily fee facility with 20 employees much less the largest military organization in the world.

But he’s clearly a perfect fit for MAGA.
The reason you don’t like Hegseth is simple

you hate this country
:lol:

“My country right or wrong” is quite the cunty accusation.

I hope you grow up some day and stumble across some lasting truths. I’m rooting for you. :thumb:

I hear you say the truth must take a beating
The flag a camouflage for your deceiving
Cause I know, (I know) I know, it's written on your soul
I know we all make mistakes
This is not a case of blurred vision, it's a case of black holes, pocket
Holes, soul holes
And did I hear you say
My country right or wrong
My country oh so strong
My country right or wrong
My country right or wrong
My country going wrong
My country right or wrong

Question on ASEAN stumped Hegseth at Senate hearing. What is it and why is it important?
Sen. Tammy Duckworth, grilling President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for defense secretary over whether he had the “breadth and depth of knowledge” needed to lead international negotiations, asked Pete Hegseth if could name one member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, describe what type of agreement the U.S. had with the countries and how many nations were in the bloc.

Hegseth responded at the heated Senate confirmation hearing that he couldn’t tell Duckworth the exact number of ASEAN nations, but that “I know we have allies in South Korea and Japan in AUKUS (a pact between Australia, the United Kingdom and the U.S.) with Australia.”

“None of those three countries are in ASEAN,” responded Duckworth, a Democrat from Illinois. “I suggest you do a little homework.”
Tammy Duckworth is an American hero who has proven her love for her country.

The only people who think he’s qualified are red hatters and regimes like Russia who know they’ll get favorable treatment. It’s should be no surprise the other 8 million humans on earth know he’s not qualified.

It’s why you guys are making so many supportive posts as though he’s already won something. You know the reality but can’t reconcile it with your loyalty to the cult.

Ouch! :lol:

Show me a link where 8 billion people have stated he’s not qualified..I’m pretty sure 7.9+ billion haven’t commented on the matter.

Did hegseth make Senator Blumenthal sound like a buffoon?

Trump’s Defense Pick Refuses to Answer One Very Easy Question
“I assume you’d be willing to submit to an expanded FBI background check that interviews your colleagues, accountants, ex-wives, former spouses, sexual assault survivors, and others?” Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal asked the embattled defense secretary nominee.

“Senator, I’m not in charge of FBI background checks,” Hegseth replied tersely.

“But you would submit to it and support it?”

“I’m not in charge of FBI background checks,” Hegseth repeated before taking a sip of water.

Hegseth has submitted to an FBI background check, but it disturbingly did not include interviews with his ex-wives or any of the women who accused him of sexual assault, according to several people who spoke with NBC News. A more thorough background check could shed more light on allegations that Hegseth has vehemently denied at his hearing—sexual assault, alcoholism, financial fraud, and more. It makes sense that Hegseth pleaded the Fifth.

RFK Jr. Admits He Didn’t Come Clean on Anti-Vax Fortune
In personal financial disclosure forms required for all presidential candidates, Kennedy initially reported that he had earned $731,470.53 in 2022 and 2023.
...
But documents obtained by the Daily Beast show that Kennedy—after being nominated by Trump for his Cabinet—then quietly amended those forms to disclose that he had actually earned far more from his anti-vaccine nonprofit: a total of $1.2 million.
...
RFK Jr. has described his anti-vax drive as a labor of love that cost him friends—and money.

In 2017, he told MAGA journalist Tucker Carlson, “I’m getting unpaid for this. This has been probably the worse career move that I’ve ever made.” He told InfoWars in 2021 that his anti-vaccine advocacy work had “the opposite of a profit motive” and had “damaged relationships even with people in my family.”

In fact, Kennedy earned $2.2 million between 2017 and 2023 from the nonprofit he founded, according to federal tax returns filed by his group.
