For all those who claim Hegseth isn't qualified, meet Leon Panetta.

[Oddball]

Yeah, training the counter insurgency forces in Afghanistan. How did that work out?

Being sent on a mission that is doomed gives insights into foolishness of those issuing the orders.

 

[beautress]

Obama appointed him Sec of Defense.


Panetta served 2 years as a First Lieutenant. Never commanded anyone.

Love him or hate him, Hegseth is a world class and classy communications expert. When it comes to war, you need a guy who is truthful but discreet, with extreme persuasion abilities. His appointment is genius IMHO. God bless those who serve, are willing to serve, and are taught to serve in life-threatening reality, not to mention makes no mistakes.

Oh, you mean like the CIC?

 

[TimFitz]

Lying Unamerican display by a Democrat crazed Legacy Media.
I mean,what part of that dopey 3 year Mueller Special Counsel
Investigation into Trump based on the Russian Collusion
Bullcrap.

That is a different part of the story, altogether.

 

[TimFitz]

OK, I'll bite, what "purge" are you talking about?

The one that Hegseth talks about all the time. BTW, see Project 2025.

 

[lafayette]

Panetta was head of OMB and then the CIA.

Hogspeth will not measure anywhere near him.

 

[Man With A Plan]

Again, an attempt to dance past reality.

Nearly all of Trump’s “business ventures” were paper corporations intended to hide something or skirt liability. One of them was created to hide payoffs to a porn star.

Trump’s bankruptcies were not small time affairs. in most cases, the core of his business was on the line.

Name the Trump businesses that were "paper corporations intended to hide something", Timmy!

As for liability? It's obvious that you've never owned a business because if you had you'd understand that forming a corporation is something you do to protect yourself from having one bad business take down successful ones. The reason that Trump's "core" was never in danger is that incorporating kept the few bankruptcies that he did have (Again...10 out of over 500 is remarkable in a good way!) from hurting the viable businesses.

you have exceptionally low standards if you think a carnival barker who spews racism and misogyny on a network that admits that it lies to its audience is “classy” or “a world class”.

Actually, I have owned businesses. And I am very familiar with the use of paper corporations to limit liability. Especially in real estate development.

Now that you’re making my point we can agree that most of these 500 businesses were actually purpose created paper entities intended to shield liability. it is a common practice, and not illegal.

it’s also what I said in the first place.

But trying to pass them off as successful enterprises on their own right as a counter to the spectacular Trump bankruptcies is dishonest, to say the least.

 

[Zincwarrior]

List the qualifications he doesn't meet.

He hasn't run anything more than 50 doods.

Your argument is bs. Panetta had already been head of the CIA, Director of Management and Budget, Whitehouse Chief of Staff, and a 20 year Congressman. Hegseth, has been a dood talking on TV.

 

[TimFitz]

Which company did he form to hide his NDA with Stormy Daniels?

It was called Essential Consultants.

 

[Rawley]

The one that Hegseth talks about all the time. BTW, see Project 2025.

can you link to him discussing a purge and cite the purge in Project 2025?

Link us up to the qualification that requires running "more than 50 doods".

 

[Nostra]

It was called Essential Consultants.

That's a Michael Cohen company, Dumbass.

Next?

So you are a criminal.

Its a multi BILLION dollar agency you nimbwit and he hasn't run anything as complex as a McDonalds.

So you have no link to your made up requirement.

Got it.

 

[TimFitz]

That's a Michael Cohen company, Dumbass.

Next?

It’s a Trump company that his attorney, Michael Cohen set up.

You don't seem to grasp the concept that incorporating is what rational business people do when they have multiple businesses running at the same time. It's not only not illegal...it's pretty much standard practice.

I asked you to name some of Trump's businesses that were nothing more than "paper entities". You declined to do so. Would you like to do so now?

 

[Nostra]

It’s a Trump company that his attorney, Michael Cohen set up.

Nope.
