Whether it's Pete Hegseth using taxpayer money to fly on Army Apache helicopters with Kid Rock or Lloyd Austin being Black, both secretaries of defense have done things the other side finds unacceptable.

F*&^ these idiots.

They supported this s*&^ and helped get them into office despite being obviously unqualified (some dangerously so) and of poor or no character.

Then they're shocked things aren't working out?

"Losing confidence"? Really. Hegseth has the morals of Ted Bundy and the incompetence of the Three Stooges, but without any of the Three Stooges saving graces.

... Republican Senators Losing Confidence in Hegseth ...

What took them so long?

Sec Hegseth managed, say, less than 100 people in his military career.

How many people does he need to manage as the Sec of Defense?

I remember an occasion back in the day when I was a director of a company, and I (and others from the company) participated in a ~gathering~ of military folk.

The military liaison asked me, quite directly, how many people do I manage? Based upon what I told him, he said that I should ~mingle~ with the Majors in the room.

imo, that conversation was most apropos.

And I now use it to look at Sec of Defense Hegseth, who seems to be totally over his head, and drowning, in his job.

imo, of course.

One. If he wants to keep his job.
