"So this is the biggest deployment of my life and there won't be a drop of alcohol on my lips while I'm doing it."

Is anyone monitoring this fool's drinking?
Anyone?
Buehler?

Or perhaps his wife is into it. Both Jennifer and Pete have a well documented history of extra-marital relations. This type of behavior seems to be pervasive with Trump's circle. He has a history of sleeping around and Melania doesn't seem to care. Then there was whatever has been going on with Noem, her husband, Lewindowski and her "blanket" . Chavez-DeRemer is said to have been sleeping with a member of her security detail. Female staffers at Dept of Labor were told to "pay attention" to her husband and father who both ended banned from Labor Dept facilities due to sexual harassment of staffers. I could go on. There's Kennedy, Musk, let's not forget he wanted Matt Gaetz as AG. I'm sure there are plenty of others.
Has anyone checked the front door of the White House to see if it has an upside-down pineapple?

Why yes, we are led by idiots and very, very incompetent people. Hegseth had never run an large agency like the Defense Department, but that is ok, before MAGA elected Trump to be President, he had never been in the military or served as a political leader anywhere, at any time.

MAGA is based on incompetence rooted in ignorance fed by hatred and fear.
The "talent" on display - Hegseth is a fine example - speaks volumes.

The article references his paranoia about being fired by Trump. Maybe this is him covering his ass so he has a witness to back up his side of the story to refute any allegations from other people in the Trump admin trying to rid of him?

Can you imagine the meltdown if Michelle Obama sat in on Pentagon meetings?

What's left of the Pentagon's press office usually airbrushes Pickled Pete's red-white-and-blue leash out of official photos.

Whatever she tells him is what passes for his "memory."
