    one counter to 10 fox news employees? Maybe hegseth popped a tic tac right before going on the air, AFTER the 10 other employees smelled his breath.

    Ya think?

    No, you're clearly not thinking.

    We are thinking just fine.. you are the one stretching any resemblance of the truth... we bring actual people with actual names and you bring us fake MSM unnamed anonymous secret unverified "sources"..

    Again... please tell us who these 10 "people" from Fox are... tell us their names.

    Every irresponsible A hole is going to have at least a couple of friends.

    There is a rising VOLUME of criticism against this man, and a TRICKLE of approval for him.

    Do the algebra.

    Lots of red flags were raised about Biden, but that was never enough. Now a few anonymous reports are enough to keep Hegseth from being approved.

    I suspect that Trump selected him because he liked his attitude towards the military. He was looking for someone who would get rid of extraneous garbage which only detracts from the military's fighting ability. I have said the same thing myself. The military should not be a social experiment. Its duty is to defend the US.

    How about the guy that dresses up like a dog and steals luggage?

    Yes. Yes indeed. alchoholism is certainly a reason to consider someone's qualifications for the job.
    Cross dressing? Probably not. That's just a fashion statement that might be considered a bit weird.
    Now, stealing luggage from airport carousels, that should be a strong consideration against someone filling in a position.
    Don't you agree?

    More details in article:

    The whistleblower report detailed in The New Yorker alleged repeated instances of Hegseth drinking heavily at work events, including a team outing to a strip club in Louisiana in November 2014 in which he became so inebriated that he “had to be restrained” from climbing onstage to dance with the strippers.

    Hegseth drank heavily at some social events with Fox News colleagues, as well, according to two former employees, one of whom said he would get “absolutely wasted.

    Trump is a narcissist and feels he can control these types with a bad past easier

    Our most elite military servicemembers are coming out for Hegseth in a way that they never have for anything before (at least that Im aware of).

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...p-lynching-of-pete-hegseth-report/ar-AA1vlmLp

    What do you know about Hegseth's competence in command that the SEALs dont know?

    More are coming out to say he is unfit and I love the hyperbole in your link

    The allegations are that he mismanaged funds of not one but two veteran advocacy groups, sexually assaulted a woman, has had numerous affairs and there is credible evidence of serial drunkenness. On behalf of the rest of the world please don’t turn the USA into a Kakistocracy

    And he was fired for doing so.
    https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Brinton

    Now tell me - how does this one instance, which resulted in him being fired somehow make it OK for the supremely unqualified to be placed in high government positions?

    Trump will be your president come November.

    I wish to point out we are well into December and the president's name is still Joe Biden.

    ""the president's name is still Joe Biden""
    PINO
    is it @StillBlue.... honestly give us an answer...an honest heartfelt answer......... who is running our country right now?

    Trump has done as much good for our country in 76 days as Biden has attempted and failed to do in 4 years.... Trump is more your president than Biden ever could be..

    So what is your point?

    You seem to overlook the obvious

    CNN —
    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday said Russia’s war in Ukraine will end “faster” when Donald Trump takes over as US president.

    Show us Pootin saying this about Biden...

    Nothing like repeating the old liberal talking points that are not true.. and it is just right in front of your face and you just don't get it..

    Putin said remarks Trump had made during the election campaign about Ukraine and restoring relations with Russia deserved attention.
    "What was said about the desire to restore relations with Russia, to bring about the end of the Ukrainian crisis, in my opinion this deserves attention at least," said Putin.

    Wrap your head around this @StillBlue........
    our country would not have been saved from the communistic dicktater regime of corrupt Joe Biden and his "behind the scenes handlers" politburo, if we had not lived through those communist times to make the American people rise up and vote against such dicktaters in 2024... The American voters spoke and they spoke loudly...
    What we are seeing is a true leader who stood back for 4 years as our country was wrecked by "resident" Biden and politburo and planned on how to come back and fix the mess the Democrats have left behind...

    No one can stop what is coming. Your are about to see the greatest president in our history step up to the home plate... He was great in 2016 and he will triple that in 2024...

    Robert Michael Gates is an American intelligence analyst and university president who served as the 22nd United States secretary of defense from 2006 to 2011. He was appointed by President George W. Bush and was retained by President Barack Obama.

    Gates began his career serving as an officer in the United States Air Force but was quickly recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Gates served for twenty-six years in the CIA and at the National Security Council, and was director of central intelligence under President George H. W. Bush from 1991 to 1993


    Wow how unqualified compared to a Faux guy

    Sure, unlike Cheeto and his "followers", I accept reality but he squeaked by, not "loudly"

    As simple as it gets ..... @JonK22 ...... Trump won the 2024 election... deal with it.

    Why do you keep showing popular votes when the electoral votes are what gets them elected... you seem to miss Republicans now control the House and Senate..
