Who is trying to put Joe Bribem as leader of the pentagon?You mean a sexually assaulting, drunken, corrupt guy is unqualified to lead the Pentagon.
Maybe he wasn't the best pick but at some point you have to say enough... enough of these claims from the past...
I don't even pay attention to them anymore... every pick of a republican goes through this and it has to stop...
I mean a decorated Major, who was actually in The Shit.You mean a sexually assaulting, drunken, corrupt guy is unqualified to lead the Pentagon.
I was an active US Marine for 25 years... I read his book... and the reforms he wrote about would make me vote for him... Regardless of what some girl claims or some jealous co host or an angry mother... this job does not require a choir boy...Do I hear hints of a concession?
So far, we've heard about how unfit he is from
The woman he raped.
His former co-workers at Fox
People who worked with him at the Veterans for Freedom and the Veteran's Action committee
oh, yeah...
And his own mother.

Pete Hegseth’s Secret History
A whistle-blower report and other documents suggest that Trump’s nominee to run the Pentagon was forced out of previous leadership positions for financial mismanagement, sexist behavior, and being repeatedly intoxicated on the job.www.newyorker.com
A previously undisclosed whistle-blower report on Hegseth’s tenure as the president of Concerned Veterans for America, from 2013 until 2016, describes him as being repeatedly intoxicated while acting in his official capacity—to the point of needing to be carried out of the organization’s events. The detailed seven-page report—which was compiled by multiple former C.V.A. employees and sent to the organization’s senior management in February, 2015—states that, at one point, Hegseth had to be restrained while drunk from joining the dancers on the stage of a Louisiana strip club, where he had brought his team. The report also says that Hegseth, who was married at the time, and other members of his management team sexually pursued the organization’s female staffers, whom they divided into two groups—the “party girls” and the “not party girls.” In addition, the report asserts that, under Hegseth’s leadership, the organization became a hostile workplace that ignored serious accusations of impropriety, including an allegation made by a female employee that another employee on Hegseth’s staff had attempted to sexually assault her at the Louisiana strip club. In a separate letter of complaint, which was sent to the organization in late 2015, a different former employee described Hegseth being at a bar in the early-morning hours of May 29, 2015, while on an official tour through Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, drunkenly chanting “Kill All Muslims! Kill All Muslims!”
I mean a decorated Major, who was actually in The Shit.
So GFY, America hating Marxist scum.
I was an active US Marine for 25 years... I read his book... and the reforms he wrote about would make me vote for him... Regardless of what some girl claims or some jealous co host or an angry mother... this job does not require a choir boy...
Do you have any doubt that your cultist Senators will spend majority of their time on this? And the smears in Newsweek?There is a police report.
That's plenty of proof for me, to at least ask the question in the Senate.
Never claimed he was a saint.Uh, guy, a DD214 is not a proof of sainthood.
I thank him for his service.
But if he is an abuser of women, an alcholic, and an incompetent manager, he shouldn't be in charge of a $800 billion dollar agency because of his willingness to kiss Trump's boots.
More from the New Yorker Article.
In January 2016, Hegseth resigned from Concerned Veterans for America, under pressure. An account in the Military Times said that Hegseth had “quietly resigned,” in a decision that was “mutual” with the organization, amid “rumors of a rift between the former C.E.O. and the group’s financial backers.” Hegseth, who had no other job lined up at the time, gave no explanation for his departure, other than saying, “Sometimes it just makes sense to make a transition.” C.V.A., for its part, released a statement saying that it thanked Hegseth “for his many contributions” and wished him well. But, according to three knowledgeable sources, one of whom contributed to the whistle-blower report, Hegseth was forced to step down from the organization in part because of concerns about his mismanagement and abuse of alcohol on the job.
“Congratulations on Removing Pete Hegseth” is the subject line of an e-mail, obtained by The New Yorker, that was sent to Hegseth’s successor as president of the group, Jae Pak, on January 15, 2016. The e-mail, sent under a pseudonym by one of the whistle-blowers, included a copy of the report, and went on to say, “Among the staff, the disgust for Pete was pretty high. Most veterans do not think he represents them nor their high standard of excellence.” The e-mail also stated that Hegseth had “a history of alcohol abuse” and had “treated the organization funds like they were a personal expense account—for partying, drinking, and using CVA events as little more than opportunities to ‘hook up’ with women on the road.”
I spoke at length with two people who identified themselves as having contributed to the whistle-blower report. One of them said of Hegseth, “I’ve seen him drunk so many times. I’ve seen him dragged away not a few times but multiple times. To have him at the Pentagon would be scary,” adding, “When those of us who worked at C.V.A. heard he was being considered for SecDef, it wasn’t ‘No,’ it was ‘Hell No!’ ” According to the complaint, at one such C.V.A. event in Virginia Beach, on Memorial Day weekend in 2014, Hegseth was “totally sloshed” and needed to be carried to his room because “he was so intoxicated.” The following month, during an event in Cleveland, Hegseth, who had gone with his team to a bar around the corner from their hotel, was described as “completely drunk in a public place.” According to the report, “several high profile people” who attended the organization’s event “were very disappointed to see this kind of public behavior,” though the report does not identify them.
Have you read his book?...No, it requires an able administrator, not someone who was sacked from running a small veteran organization due to personal mismanagement.
Lots of people have good ideas. (I think Hegseths' are a little whacky, but that's neither here nor there.) BUt is he a good administrator?
Do you have any doubt that your cultist Senators will spend majority of their time on this? And the smears in Newsweek?
Have you read his book?...
Never claimed he was a saint.
"...people who identified themselves as having contributed to the whistle blower report...." and the unnamed "several high profile people" means abso-*******-lutely nothing.
And you think the current lot do have the chops?... change is hard... I understand that JoeB131... but you need to get use to it because a lot of stuff is going to change....he certainly doesn't have the chops to run the whole Pentagon.
Why, becasue of the dirt being slung by your party? He's faced a lot tougher than that.I suspect Hegseth will withdraw from consideration long before it gets to the senate.
Nope, and don't care to.
Doesn't detract from my point, that if CVA ousted him, he certainly doesn't have the chops to run the whole Pentagon.
You tried the sexual mud with Kavanaugh. Blew up in your faces.This would be more than enough for you if a Democrats was being questioned.
And you think the current lot do have the chops?... change is hard... I understand that JoeB131... but you need to get use to it because a lot of stuff is going to change....
The current people running our pentagon are doing a terrible job... something has to change or we will not survive in this unstable world... this current military can't win a war or keep the peace... but they can be new age and gender appropriate...
Not enough evidence is no evidence
