U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has been mired in controversy since Donald Trump first nominated him, is now “unlikely to remain in his role,” according to his own former department spokesperson on Sunday.
The report includes “remarkable accusations” from a former Hegseth aide and comes the same day as it was reported that the Secretary was involved in a second unsecured Signal chat in which sensitive attack plans were shared. Hegseth was mocked for the reported security misstep.
In a piece entitled, “Former Pentagon official warns department’s dysfunction could topple Hegseth,” Politico quotes John Ullyot, the former top Defense Department spokesperson, as saying, “The last month has been a full-blown meltdown at the Pentagon.”
All Hegseth has to do slither up to Trump; cuddle, a quick handjob, and BOOM! All is forgiven.
Again, this is a clear example of why you don’t put a completely unqualified alcoholic in charge of TS information.
If only…
This is the kind of inner sabotage that can work in their favor. As in Israel, where incompetent defense leaders allowed Palestinians to overrun Israel is and start their war. …which allowed him to hold on to power. People he should protect died, and he benefitted.
So when the Republicans fail to defend our country bc they are inept parodies of what leaders should be, they might gain the kind of power they’ll never let go
What an irony when the commanders in chief might benefit from their own failure…
Is he past the 1 Scaramuchi mark yet?
Is this the least qualified cabinet in the history of the US? Maybe they should have gone with more DEI hires.
And not the DUI hires.
The Politico article is better.
The remarkable accusations by a former official — who left only two days ago and insists he still supports the Trump administration’s national security policies — underscores the infighting and upheaval that has turned increasingly public in recent weeks. … Ullyot was sidelined after he defended the removal in March of a story discussing the service of baseball legend Jackie Robinson, part of a larger purge of diversity-related military webpages.
So this guy who quit and is now saying that Hegseth is not long for this world is himself a fucking Nazi.
An administration full of cluster B personality disorders and backbiting, name a more classic combination.
he still supports the Trump administration’s national security policies
One of these guys needs to walk me through what they hope Trump will achieve. Because I don’t see it.
Seize, retain, and exploit power.
Then they’ll have to share their definition of power. It can’t include soft power, as they keep squandering the soft power the US had.
They don’t understand or at best, believe in soft power.
MAGAts want a war.
WHY? Just because he told MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITHOUT SECURITY CLEARANCES about an Act Of War over an Unvetted App? That’s WOKE!
Fucking snowflakes
@MicroWave “Elect a clown, expect a circus”. Hegseth is just another clown in the car.
Every morning after a holiday is a meltdown for him, due to the hangover.
First they came for the DEI hires, but I said nothing because I was not a DEI hire.
Then they came for the DUI hires and I said nothing because I was too busy looking for the bottle of Johnny Walker in my desk.
