Trump to nominate fox news host as secretary of defense

I don't agree with Hegseth about everything; I'm concerned Trump is getting pushed by hawks just like Bush was. That being said, he's no dummy. Why should I be up in arms about him when Austin got the job fresh off the Raytheon board?

This is such a stupid notion that there are generals who prioritize DEI over military readiness. Do you really believe that generals spend more time talking about equity and inclusion over preparing their troops? What could possibly go wrong by letting a FoxNews morning weekend host pick who commands our troops? This is a witch hunt in search of a problem - so ridiculous...
 
What a cabinet

No surprise, ethics is not a consideration for the Trump administration. Bow down to Trump and you are in

I've noticed a lot of things that you think are witch hunts are issues that seem to be front and center during the election. For example, immigration. For a long time you and nytigerfan tried to tell us that immigration wasn't a problem and that it was only an issue because republicans kept bringing it up.

Now you say that DEI is a witch hunt in search of a problem. This was another big issue during the election.

The people spoke loud and clear. Maybe you should reconsider what is important to the electorate.

DEI should not even exist as a thought in our military, schools, or any other taxpayer funded activity. It is poison.

MSM no longer gets to define what is important to the people. With free speech platforms like X, the people decide what is important.

Can someone make this make sense?

You do get that he has two bronze stars right? He's a true combat veteran with degrees from Harvard and Yale. I mean, which part do you take issue with? His combat experience , his leadership experience or his Ivy degrees?

Dude, you don't get to make up things about me because you think all liberals feel the same way about every subject.
👇
I don't represent all liberals when I say this, but the border is the one area that I believe the new admin has fumbled. I do believe they are taking constructive steps to address the root of the problem but I don't agree with catch and release and I liked the stay in Mexico policy personally. I don't approve of taxpayer funded housing for illegals either. So in short, we agree on this issue for the most part.
He's mostly just following the law but to be real for a moment, we probably agree a good bit on this issue. Not sure what he can do without a bill from Congress but at the very least, he needs to speak up like a leader and address the issue head-on. He's way too quiet when he needs to be forceful.
Just because I lean left doesn't mean I support everything a Dem official does, nor do I support every Democratic policy. I'm a lot more of a hardass on crime and the border than the average Democrat and my opinion is this should never have gotten to this level in the first place. As much as I hate to say it, it was a smart move on behalf of Abbott to ship them to sanctuary cities to bring the border crisis home to every state.

You're spinning again. I was strictly talking about DEI in regards to rooting out generals who "prioritize" DEI over military readiness, which is what is being alleged here. Who is stupid enough to believe that's really a thing and how do you root them out? Do they have a Woke-ometer they use that tells them how empathetic they are to inclusion? And if they do investigate all the generals for silly, random bullshit like this, how do you think that will affect their confidence in their chain of command?

You mean Elon gets to decide. Propaganda has broken your brains

Does this really qualify for Secretary of Defense?

Princeton and Harvard. Regardless of the names, he’s an intelligent person. If somebody doesn’t like his positions, I get it, but I don’t think he’s incapable of handling the job by any stretch. He wouldn’t be going at it alone.

We’ve gotten in this trap of assuming that anyone who’s been around the military establishment (military, CIA, DoD, industry, etc) is automatically going to do a better job than someone who hasn’t. Experience can absolutely be a good thing; they’re a lot of capable people in the military establishment. There are also a lot of unimpressive, dumb people that are responsible for the past few decades of moronic foreign policy decisions.

Lloyd Austin’s crowning achievement is lining the pockets of defense contractors while we prolong a massive land war in Europe.

Do you believe that the conflict in Ukraine is unimportant to the US?
