Your Orange Lard Barge Hero didn't hold the person in charge responsible, and gave the perp who added the journalist... a new job at the UN.

You must be SO proud!

Hasn't had a designated driver available to take him to the office.

Maybe his wife/chaperone will drive him in next week. Because he's such an alpha he has to take his wife to work. And the MAGAts worship his masculine energy.

Sec Hegseth still has not been fired?

Why the focus on that aspect?

Maybe the focus should be upon his apparent inability to rise to the task of being Sec of Defense and keeping the Country safe and secure?

The focus is on it and will be kept on it because Rcade plastered it at the top of the website like it was all but certain breaking news. I'm simply pointing out this was wildly false. That is all Lamp.

@#5 ... I'm simply pointing out this was wildly false. ...

How so?

I ask only because your current alias seems to be so sure in it's assertion, that I would think that it has actual evidence to back up its assertion.

The evidence was Rcade posting it as the headline and Pete still sits as Secretary of Defense with Trump publicly supporting him lol. There's no other "proof" needed.

There's the actual story that was plastered as the headline. Now, that story was posted on April the 21st and here we are 10 days later and he's still Secretary of Defense. Please explain to me how this story wasn't false?

FTA: "The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense..."

here we are 10 days later and he's still Secretary of Defense

You think that process should take less than 10 days? Bootlicking sycophants are getting harder to find.

Was there an exact timeline in that story?

Careful braggart. Life has a way of making fools of braggarts like you.

And you my friend are an easy mark.

No. They did not fire Pete ... yet.

But it is just a Pause and it ain't over until it's over.

So don't get all yippy!
