Pete Hegseth Was Removed from Biden's Inauguration, Labeled 'Extremist'

[debbiedowner]

Deus vult is a Latin phrase that translates to "God wills it". It was a battle cry used by Christian Crusaders in the 11th century, most notably during the First Crusade. The phrase is associated with the Princes' Crusade, which led to the Siege of Jerusalem in 1099.


The phrase has been used in many different contexts, including:

• Christian motto
  Christians have used Deus vult as a metaphor for "God's will" throughout history.
  
  
  
• Chivalric order motto
  The Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem used Deus vult as a motto.
  
  
  
• Neo-Nazi and far-right catchphrase
  Racist organizations have used Deus vult to refer to the idea of "liberation at the end of the sword" in the name of God.
  
  
  
• • Symbol of the far-right
    The phrase and symbol have been used by the far-right in a variety of contexts, including by Bolsonaro supporters in Brazil and anti-abortion activists in the United States.
    
    

The phrase is pronounced "DAY-us VULT" in Ecclesiastical Latin, which is the form of Latin used in the Roman Catholic Church. In Classical Latin, it is pronounced "DAY-us WULT".

Interesting how the left says the most qualified is the most important, yet, rally for affirmative action to place less qualified over the more qualified. There is hypocrisy on both sides, can we all agree to that at least?

1. Who says that intelligence and combat experience is not enough to run the DOD?

2. We need Pete because Trump wants him there, period.

3. Who says he has to be the "most qualified"? IMHO Mike Pompeo is probably the "most qualified", but Trump prefers Pete.

4. Pete Hegseth will be approved because he is "qualified".

1. Anyone who is rational. The DoD isn’t something you figure out as you go along.

2. Geez, just let Donny do you’re thinking for you?

3. I thought DEI was bad because it didn’t let in the “most qualified” people?

4. Maybe. Maybe not. Republicans don’t all agree that he’s a good pick. Looking at his history, he’s kind of a scumbag.

 

[Nostra]

Um, Timothy McVeigh served in combat. Having served in combat doesn't make you a saint.

While all of Trump's picks are bad, Hegseth, RFK, Gabbard, and Gaetz are uniquely unacceptable.

The question is, will the Senate push back enough to stop unqualified people from being in key positions.

The better question is, why couldn't Trump find better people?

Cry more, loser.

Show us proof he is Islamophobic.

Joe can't. Joe thinks throwing "Phobic" at the end of a pronoun somehow make him credible, like the left. This only shows how tone deaf he is when his side lost this election for throwing out the same type of unfounded rhetoric and propaganda that the majority of Americans are done with.

Nah. He gets them from the Bot Farm like most of the other dimocrap scum posters in here.

You're gonna see that a lot from the Bot Farm

, RFK has an issue with AUTISM, which is fine. Why has autism gone from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 36? HHS needs to focus on real problems, like autism and obesity rather than doing research that creates pandemics, like Fau-Chi.

I'm just going to focus on this bit of stupidity.

Autism hasn't gone up, it's been more accurately diagnosed. That's why Autism (or neurodivergence) is described as being on a spectrum. So the kid who would have been described as being "slow" back in the 1970s, would be more accurately be described as being on the spectrum today.

The myth that vaccines are linked to autism was published in a medical magazine and was quickly debunked, with the clown who said it being dismissed.

Do Vaccines Cause Autism?

There’s a lot of talk in the media about vaccines and autism. Are they linked? WebMD sorts fact from fiction.

1. Who says that intelligence and combat experience is not enough to run the DOD?

Every SOD who was far more qualified...

 

[kyzr]

1. So why isn't he picking Pompeo for something?
2. What is his administrative experience? He's being asked to run a 800 billion dollar agency with global missions. Could you see any large corporation choosing a CEO like this?
3. Meaningless.

1. He may be holding Pompeo as a backup, who knows? Same with Nikki Haley. Trump is president, he doesn't need to explain, anymore than Biden explained Buttplug, or the HHS "lawyer" (not a doctor).

2. The Pentagon has all the administrative experience it needs, what it needs is practical experience to improve readiness, recruitment, retention, and better cost management. Pete should bring in auditors to find out where the leaks are and then fire the offenders.

4. Large corporations generally do whatever the CEO or Board of Directors tells them to do. If they see that the company needs a major change in direction, it happens.

5. Failing audits is NOT meaningless. Overspending by $500b is NOT meaningless. The DOD needs a major shakeup, with deadwood getting fired, and the competent getting better direction.

Those are superb picks. Especially Matt Gaetz.

Yes, that's the point. The Crusades were NOT a good thing. The Crusades were pointless religious wars that dragged on for 200 years, killed tens of thousands of people, and in the end, accomplished very little. (Arguably, it made the Muslims a greater threat, especially the Fourth Crusade, which gutted the Byzantine Empire and didn't kill a single Muslim. )

Joe can't. Joe thinks throwing "Phobic" at the end of a pronoun somehow make him credible, like the left. This only shows how tone deaf he is when his side lost this election for throwing out the same type of unfounded rhetoric and propaganda that the majority of Americans are done with.

Trump got a slim majority because people were upset about inflation. Imagine their surprise when his tariffs and immigration policies shoot it right back up again.

The point is, the only thing Trump ran on was fear... so Phobic applies. Transgenders are going to get your children! Immigrants are going to eat your pets! Vaccines will give you autism!

Except I usually make you whine like a little bitch.

1. He may be holding Pompeo as a backup, who knows? Same with Nikki Haley. Trump is president, he doesn't need to explain, anymore than Biden explained Buttplug, or the HHS "lawyer" (not a doctor).

Really, looks to me like these qualified people want nothing to do with him, so he's picking the D-listers.

2. The Pentagon has all the administrative experience it needs, what it needs is practical experience to improve readiness, recruitment, retention, and better cost management. Pete should bring in auditors to find out where the leaks are and then fire the offenders.

How is Hegsetn qualified to do any of those things. Other than ranting on Fox News about non-issues like diversity training (which the military has been doing since I served in the 1980s.), he has no experience with any of those things.

4. Large corporations generally do whatever the CEO or Board of Directors tells them to do. If they see that the company needs a major change in direction, it happens.

But they don't hire unqualified people.

5. Failing audits is NOT meaningless. Overspending by $500b is NOT meaningless. The DOD needs a major shakeup, with deadwood getting fired, and the competent getting better direction.

Except they aren't overspending by 500BN. The whole DoD budget is 800 BN.

1. The Joint Chiefs keep the DOD on an even keel, Pete mostly needs to keep DEI and woke policies from interfering with readiness.

2. Trump was elected president to do our DOD thinking based on the best information available.

3. DEI is bad because "merit" isn't used for promotions. The president makes the call who the "most qualified" are, not you.

4. Pete is not a scumbag, he has two Bronze Stars in combat dumbass, as well as degrees from Princeton and Harvard. Any Republican who votes against Pete is a scumbag, and will be "primaried".

Got a link that "proves" your assertion as to why autism increased from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 36 being "better diagnoses"?

Those guys had no clue how to pass an Audit, so they are unqualified to comment.

 

[Rawley]

Combat experience and being “intelligent” is hardly sufficient to running the DoD.

If his supporting staff are so superb, what do we need him for?

The idea that he is the most qualified person for the job is absurd.

Just curious, why was Kamala Harris the most qualified for her VP spot? Or your cult's nominee?

1. Pompeo would serve under Trump, so would Nikki. Maybe they weren't offered the positions they wanted?

2. Pete has practical experience to improve readiness, recruitment, retention, and better cost management. He will have help from senior "warrior board" to remove the incompetent generals.

https://thehill.com/policy/defense/4987537-trump-draft-executive-order-would-set-up-board-to-oust-generals-report/

"The draft executive order would set up a “warrior board” of retired generals and non-commissioned officers given power to review three- and four-star officers and to recommend anyone “lacking in requisite leadership qualities,” according to the document, reviewed by the Journal."

3. Who you call "unqualified" is not who Trump calls unqualified. Based on Biden's cabinet there are several who could have been called "unqualified" based on experience, but were approved based on deference to the president.

4. That's why we need Pete there. The "experts" are incompetent. They are only experienced and experts at scamming taxpayers.

I’m sorry but if someone gets a bronze star, they can’t cheat on the wife, have kids out of wedlock, cheat on their second wife, have more kids out of wedlock and sexually assault another woman?

You know, the Senate also gets a say on who is qualified for their position, which is what the constitution is there for. You want someone primaried because they made a perfectly rational call on Hegseth not being qualified? That’s kind of authoritarian of you. The Senate is not supposed to be a rubber stamp.

1. Trump has alreday said he wants to fire the JCS if they don't sufficiently kiss his ass.
2. Trump was elected to uphold the constitution, but I don't have much hope for that. He'll fuck it up, because he always does.
3. It seems to me that if you just promote white guys in a military that is about half minority and women, you aren't going to get the best qualified.
4. Timothy McVeigh won a bronze star.
