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.”
Only hire based on merit. Lol
I wonder which bootlicker will replace them. At some point in time, the pool of incompetent asskissers will be exhausted - what will Trump do then?
Hell always be able to find a boot licker, they’ll just be increasingly incompetent.
Good! Let’s get someone serious in there. I get middle-school vibes from this guy.
lol you’re going to get another circus clown
Sadly, you may be right. I don’t see the humour though.
You gotta be REAL stupid (or moral) to get booted from a Trump administration.
And I’d bet my bottom dollar this chode isn’t getting booted for having a moral compass.
What do you mean? Trump’s cabinet had insane turnover last time, he loves using people then throwing them away
Fascist trap themselves on this all the time. If they’re competent, they will either run far away or work to undermine you. If they’re loyal, then they won’t be very competent.
Fascism is a lot more fragile than it looks on the surface because of issues like this.
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…
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.
Good thing the nazis are making unforced errors and attacking each other because god knows the dems cant organize themselves to do the job of fighting them.
An administration full of cluster B personality traits 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.
If they are religious properly they want the second coming end of life stuff. If they are from the confederacy they will most likely will want go bring slavery back, or a form of it.
Both will want women and black rights to he diminish. Because loser boys want to get laid and the only option is force marriage or something along these lines.
Also they are following project 2025, but they are so bad that you cant tell for sure…
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.
We’re kicking people out of the administration of the military in the most over-militarized country in the world due to incompetence now? Sounds like a nice change.
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?
He’s coming up on 8 mooches.
I think The Mooch is quite proud of how quickly he got kicked out in retrospect.
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.
WHY? Just because he told MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITHOUT SECURITY CLEARANCES about an Act Of War over an Unvetted App? That’s WOKE!
I mean haven’t we all given nuclear launch codes to complete strangers who also happen to be Russian agents? Come on! Lighten up!
Fucking snowflakes
@MicroWave “Elect a clown, expect a circus”. Hegseth is just another clown in the car.
