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

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.
I'll repeat, why was Kamala Harris the most qualified for her VP spot? Or your cult's nominee?

1. His personal life is fine.

Is Pete Hegseth Married? The Truth About His Complicated Marriage History and Kids​


2. Senators need to have very good reasons to not confirm a president's nominee. If Pete was totally unqualified, I'd agree that he should not be confirmed. But Pete is qualified, very qualified. We just disagree on the amount and type of experience that is needed to fix the Pentagon.

Apparently serving two tours and graduating from an Ivy League school makes you “very qualified”?
 
1. Trump has already 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.
1. The JCS had better run a tighter ship or they are gone. Stop with the partisan bullshit.

2. Trump has a good team advising him. We both hope that he does NOT violate his oath to the US Constitution.

3. The most qualified are the most qualified. The key is using the unbiased truth. My reports from active duty personnel are that promotions are generally fairly made based on performance.

4. McVeigh has nothing to do with Pete's combat experience. Pete's job will be to fix the Pentagon, and he has the skill sets and experience to do that job. Especially with the "warrior board" of retired generals who know what the Pentagon needs to be fixed.

are there actually any qualifications to be nominated for any cabinet position? The constitution merely says a citizen. That's pretty much

I don't think so. Biden has Pete Buttplug who was the mayor of a small town.
Biden's head of HHS isn't a doctor, the same as RFK's criticism.
Then there are these "confirmed" cabinet members...

None of those people in the pictures were Cabinet Secretaries except Buttigeig.

Not sure why you find the image of man feeding his child so offensive.
 
I like Hegseth even better now!:up:

I fed my children as well but not with a set of fake boobs filled with milk. You guys are full on idiots.

I don't think that picture is really him, but the fact that you wouldn't find it weird is pretty telling.

Well, it would be the kind of thing a homophobic twat would make up.

So what upsets you, two guys raising a baby or them just finding an innovation that makes it seem more natural?

The day after the D.C. National Guard was deployed to secure a U.S. Capitol desecrated by Jan. 6 rioters, a photo of one Guard member — his tattoos clearly visible as he emerged shirtless from the Hudson River after a charity swim — circulated in an online chat of military and intelligence officers.

The soldier was well known among the group as the Fox News host Pete Hegseth. But in a moment of high national anxiety, and with the Guard set to protect the Capitol ahead of Joe Biden’s inauguration, some in the chat raised concerns about his tattoos.
Travis Akers, then a naval intelligence officer, told The Washington Post that he looked further and spotted a close-up image Hegseth posted of his bicep months earlier that clearly showed the Latin words “Deus Vult.” Researching the phrase online, Akers found that it was a Christian battle cry from the First Crusade in the Middle Ages: “God wills it.” Though the phrase remains in use among some ordinary Christians, especially Catholics, Akers said his research showed that it had become popular with the Proud Boys, Three Percenters and other extremists groups that participated in the siege at the Capitol.


Only the best people. ;)

Again, the Audit is a paperwork bullshit. We used to joke when I was in that if the Soviets ever developed a bomb that destroyed paperwork, we'd be screwed. (My job, by the way... primarily filling out paperwork.)

2. Trump has a good team advising him. We both hope that he does NOT violate his oath to the US Constitution.

Trump's team is a clown car because the man is too much of a fucking narcissist to listen to the opinions of others. This never ends well.

3. The most qualified are the most qualified. The key is using the unbiased truth. My reports from active duty personnel are that promotions are generally fairly made based on performance.

What reports, the voices in your head?

Most qualified is largely subjective, isn't it? Someone might be a great tactician but terrible at doing the diplomatic stuff to make a command work in theater. (Think Gen. Joseph Stillwell).

I remember getting passed by for an E-7 slot because a captain wanted to shake things up by appointing a guy who didn't even have the right MOS. They were all surprised when I didn't re-enlist the next year. (Not just because of that, but a lot of things.)

Frankly, any promotion over E-5 is political in some way.

You are the one who claimed a Bronze Star was a qualifier. McVeigh had a Bronze Star for his service during the Gulf War.
 
Sexual assault is a legit problem in the military. Was it good judgement on trump's part to nominate someone accused of sexual assault?
 
Can any defender of all things trump come up with a plausible explanation for why Hegseth didn't mention the fact that he had paid a woman to settle a sexual abuse charge when speaking to trump's vetting team?
 
Steven Cheung, trump's Communications director, said trump is only picking high caliber candidates for his cabinet. Obviously that isn't true.
 
I think the first order of business is to get the DEI crap out of the military and Pentagon.
This is white nationalist code talk. So obviously you support the little white supremacist. And it's obvious why.
