After Pete’s calm, collected and passionate testimony today he will be confirmed as our next Secretary of Defense. He was a great lead off batter for the Trump administration. Senator Ernst just announced she would be voting for Pete.

Disagree he’s unqualified for the job. It’s not like Pete will not be without a team to run the Department. He’s there as a change agent to instill a new culture in the Pentagon.

Next batter up....

BlueSky has biased, agenda-motivated posters just like Twitter. It's rarely a coincidence when video/audio is cropped to small clips.

I do not disagree and my frustration with BSKY and Twitter right now is it can be like toggling between MSNBC social and Fox (or OAN or Telegram) social.

Wait. Can you think of any organization with a $900 billion annual budget (or even a $9 billion annual budget or even a $9 million annual budget) who would think it is OK to hire a CEO without experience leading an organization because he will have other people to help him? Would it be OK to hire a basketball or football coach who had never coached the sport because he had capable assistants?

That depends. Was it Trump’s idea?

It’s not just that. It’s that he was driven out of those other organizations because of financial impropriety.

Clearly not. His sole purpose here is to take a contrarian view on everything. Facts be damned.

Facts? Where are all these people who have accused him? Who carried him to his room? Why don’t these people come forward (and there would be hundreds) if what “sources” claim are true. Usually there are lots of people at parties. Maybe they have come forward and aren’t anonymous anymore but I haven’t seen them.

You’re not even trying anymore. What an unserious human being you are.

“Agent of change.” Give me a fucking break.

It is hilarious to talk about DEI. The only qualification Pete has is he is aligned with orangturds whacko political BS

I’m not making the argument his resume makes him qualified but his military and combat experience makes him more qualified than you are giving him credit for. I’m not sure he will be confirmed but if he is, incompetence will show up quickly. His message of squashing all Woke programs and being merritt based is spot on.
 
Where are all these accusers who say Pete Hegseth has never run a large organization? Why are they anonymous?

I do know of one person who has come forward and said Pete Hegseth was a cheater, a womanizer, and a drunk. His name is *checks notes* Pete Hegseth.
 
Face it, the Pentagon basically runs itself with its immense bureaucracy. Pete can change things on the edges but the Pentagon will keep on chugging along.

This is such a damning clip. ASEAN is the future of our military focus (outside our numerous issues with eastern Europe). Not understanding this alliance should be an automatic disqualifier for anyone interested in being Sec Def.

So, now we will get to watch the liberal news media (the same media who ignored the millions of immigrants when they entered) try to get any and all footage of any illegal immigrant who is caught and detained pending deportation, even if that immigrant is a criminal who the Democrat run sanctuary cities have and are currently trying to protect while endangering their own citizens in the process, in their attempt to make the Trump Administration look as cruel as possible. All these people, many of which I'm sure are good hardworking people, may now be forced to go back to their home country....a country they likely would have never left had it not been for the Biden Administration rolling out the welcome mat.

What specific "liberal" news media are you referring to? Because in case you haven't noticed, your right-wing wealthy buddies have been buying up most of it and turning it conservative. The Washington Post, LA Times, CNN, and even The NY Times have all moved to the right over the election campaign. Twitter is now owned by Trump's current best friend, Elon Musk, and Zuckerberg just announced that he's effectively moving Facebook and Instagram in a MAGA direction. So where is this all-powerful liberal news media that you refer to? Because it has become a pale shadow of right-wing media - you guys now dominate the media in this country, whether you admit it or not.
