    Really? This quintessential 80s businessman type used cocaine? I’m shocked.

      It’s hard to believe isn’t it? Must just be the work of some mudslinging disgruntled former employees.

      Well I think 80’s business types would

      1. Have more respect for the Institute that is the Pentagon.

      2. Be more professional than this dweeb.

      Not by much but they would have some moral standards concerning their appearance in media.

        Pure coke, or Adderall. Ketemine seems to also be popular with this administration.

      I truly think the amount of people willing to do the awful shit for trump is finite. That’s why no one’s getting fired and why doge even hired back a dude who was pretty blatantly racist.

    [Joe Kasper, Hegseth’s soon-to-former chief of staff] reportedly derailed a meeting with a veterans’ group by telling a story about a night out at a Washington, D.C. strip club. He was also said to have begun a meeting by saying, “Can I just tell everyone around this table that I just took an enormous s–t right before coming in here?”

    Kasper was a Trump nominee. Only the best people.

      Kasper will remain an adviser at the Pentagon in a special government employee role, limited to working no more than 130 days a year.

      And also consequences are for show, he’s not really fired.
