Why not just pick someone republican but actually qualified?


Because he will do ANYTHING Trump asks him to do.

Use the Insurrection Act to put American troops on the streets? Sure
Retake the Panama Canal? Just give the word
Invade Mexico? No problema
Invade Canada? Yeah, baby
Create a special Presidential Guard only reportable to Trump? Got it

Seriously, prepare for anything.

Every time i check this thread, I'm hoping to read that Hegseth has dropped out.

I'll just have to keep hoping.

"Leaked." More likely, made up by a Democrat.

I am not believing a thing that come out of in the media about Hegseth that doesn't have a source. And, even the sources seem to be lying.
When his x wife disputes the statements made by his sister-in-law, you know the information coming out is questionable, at best.

It will be a good look for the United States and I hope the GOP is proud of itself. The GOP owns every single disaster that comes out of their spineless behavior.

Agreed. This is the only way. Let the shit-show candidates be confirmed so they can put their extremist freak-flag selves on display. It will only provide more ammo for Dems later.


Let them shove the stick into the spokes of their own bike as they ride it and enjoy laughing at the ensuing crash. Though like the meme, they will still try and find some unhinged way to blame Biden and "the evil leftists."


Absolutely, give these people everything they want, EVERYTHING. Let’s not have a slow burn here. Let everyone see who they are.

Had we heard before that he was a Eugenicist? That's news to me.


He is a Trump crony. It is inferred.

While not surprising that the GOP is pretending hegseth is qualified, it’s still disappointing.

Have to wonder if they ever even consider whether giving up their power to Trump might be a bad idea.

He wrote a whole book about his anti-Muslim, Christian Nationalist views. It has the subtle title of "American Crusade."

Truly scary, thanks for posting. I missed this somehow in all light of all of his other character flaws.
