Whiskey Pete, we hardly knew ya

Pete Hegseth is an embarrassment to our country. Did anyone see the Fox News clip where he attempts to defend himself? He speaks like a whiny, middle schooler with expletives thrown in for shock value. He's completely unprofessional. I'm glad that I no longer know anyone in the military. I can't imagine having a loved one serve under this moron. The guy is completely unfit for office.

I seriously thought that was AI-generated at first but no, sadly it’s real. He is pathetic and barely holding it together.

He is an embarrassment, even to Trump, who doesn't get embarrassed by anything.

This is just neo cons and warmongers being unhappy Pete opposed going to war with Iran.

Military industrial complex and their baby killing warmongers want a repeat of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Exactly.

Exactly.

meanwhile we actually know from the Signal chats that Pete had a total boner for bombing Yemen and it was Vance who ineffectually opposed it. I dislike Vance but he is the only authentically anti-war member of the govt.

Now the Daily Mail (Murdoch) is out with a hit piece on his emotional support wife, who is referred to in the Pentagon as Yoko Ono.

Meanwhile, two Defense Department sources told DailyMail.com on Monday that the missus – who, public records show, has an email address referring to herself as 'angeleyes' – has established an outsized presence at the Pentagon.

One of the insiders who spoke to DailyMail.com said Hegseth relies on her to prepare and supervise him just like she did beyond the scenes on Fox News, and to fill a more personal need to keep his sobriety from slipping, eyes from wandering and pants zipped.

Both said Rauchet has attended meetings during which she has been seen taking notes and photos.

On days when she is not physically accompanying her husband, one said she is apprised of details about his schedule.

And on at least one occasion, the other added, she has urged the DoD's public relations team to include more about his military service and family values in news releases.

'I'm sure she's worried about his infidelity and drinking, but she's also involved in the shaping of his public image,' one source said.

'She's like his parole officer and PR agent all at once.'

The other likened Rauchet to Yoko Ono, the wife of late Beatles star John Lennon, known for being fiercely protective and controlling of the narrative around her husband.

'She is a human leash,' the insider said.

God help us if we ever have a national security crisis with Pete Hegseth in charge. This is the most profoundly unfit Secretary of Defense in the history of the country. I don't know how Republicans can even look at themselves in the mirror for inflicting this kind of shrill incompetence on the country. Even this man's children are embarrassed by him.

I feel like terrorists are watching this clown show and waiting to strike
