Trump has got to be fucking with us with this guy. If it's real it shows he has absolutely no interest in actually defending this nation.

He already demonstrated his lack of interest in defending this nation four years ago.
Now, perhaps if he can benefit financially from it he may.

Trump has no enemies with big armies he has to defend against. If Pootey or Xi or Kim, or Bin Salmon wants something, they’re welcome to come take it.

The only large force he is looking to defend against is the american citizens.

Zackly. And he has a military that he is seeking to use against that “enemy within”.
What a fucking idiot.

The nomination of Hegseth is so bizarrely absurd and comical that I literally think Trump is like a six year-old who's discovered his noxious farts attract much comment, and therefore lays them in public whenever he can!
I've no doubt that Trump will be giving away top secrets to Putin and his other buddies. He could get many millions or even billions for these secrets, but instead pimps his family out to sell fake jewelry and made-in-China bibles for a few million. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Our national security and defense surrounds out IT infrastructure as much as tanks and planes. Add in drones and how they are becoming more common now, and the tit v tat is adapting and changing quickly.
And Hegseth is whining about DEI.

What are you talking about? He has exactly the same experience as Dick Cheney -- apparently the required qualification for Defense Secretary is using a weapon carelessly and accidentally wounding a bystander.

I needed to look it up, because I'm only mildly aware of Cheney's career in the 70s, but while he wasn't exactly Defense experienced, he'd at least been around the block, serving in the US House and two Presidencies, including as White House Deputy Chief of Staff.
Also, he wasn't particularly good.
Hegseth is an angry drunk. I'm unaware of how Cheney is when drunk.

Staying unaware of that is no way to save face.

The only enemies Trump is afraid of are us.

Personally never gave him the benefit of the doubt on anything. And yes anyone who does is an idiot.

Did I need to put a
smiley on that? I was just ridiculing the Republicans. But if you want to seriously compare experience, at least Hegseth did tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan; Cheney's a chickenhawk. He got five deferments to stay out of Viet Nam.ideologyhunter

Okay, throw shade on Cheney. Who cares. But know this: if you're a ground-dwelling bird, the man is a merciless killing machine. He will rip your ass up.

Maybe we should introduce him to Trump as a hunting partner. I've heard good things about his record there. He'd make a great player two on the manly "Mario game" that is hunting. He's done that sort of thing before dontcha know.

Did Kim Davis get tapped for anything?? She's got to at least have a shot at Office of Faith-Based Initiatives. (Although she'll have to do something about those jumpers she wears, and the Buffy St. Marie hair thing.)

She was a useful idiot to the GOP. You saw Huckabee on the stage with her when she was trending, but no where to be seen when the lawsuits happened.
