Hegseth wants so bad to say "I am not now, nor will I ever be, accountable to any of you."

Dusty Hope's avatar

so embarrassing this man completely denigrates both our military and our country.

Impeach Hegseth. There are enough Republicans disgruntled with him that it might even get the majority vote in the House needed to send it over to the Senate, where it would probably fail (impeachment has proven to be a paper tiger) but force Trump loyalists to vote in public.

"But Hegseth is not going anywhere any time soon, except maybe under his desk with a bottle of Wild Turkey."

naahhhh...HICseth is a vodka drunk...as in, he always has a bottle of 'water' nearby, in the desk drawer, the glove box, right there on the desk or in his hand

closet-drunk vodka bitch

OMG! Have you seen the recent Pic of Hegseth salute? It's ridiculous and let me just say this: the whole hearing would have gone better if his wife was there. Speaking of which, don't we know what it means when the wife of GOP becomes involved?

Sir now faces a multi-front war, guided by Hegseth: LA. Gaza. Iran. No Kings. Panama. Canada. China. Ukraine. Will Greenland be his Stalingrad?

Major Is My Spirit Animal's avatar

The way he thinks I'm guessing parking his car will be his Stalingrad.

"...congresspeople dragging his smug, incompetent, propagandizing ass over the hot coals of truth..."

I would like to see him dragged over hot coals in reality. With votes. Impeachment votes, I guess.

What I want is to see him gone from the DoD and working at a job he's competent at: cadging quarters at some freeway exit and fighting over the proceeds with fellow (and felon) cadgers Ghouliani and Lindell.

calliecallie, aka pollyanna's avatar

I love your enthusiasm, but I think most tolls are EZ Pass kind of deal now. No more cadging quarters there. Maybe he could work at a bowling alley?

Why the military deployment will come to no good becuse 100 things can happen and 99 of them are bad. From The Gurardian. "The LA operations are also sparking safety concerns because of complications inherent in pairing military and domestic police officers, advocates say, since they are trained very differently and use different vocabulary to handle emergency situations. In one infamous episode during the 1992 Los Angeles riots – the last time the military were called out to restore order in southern California – a police officer on patrol turned to his marines counterparts and said “cover me”, meaning be ready with your weapon to make sure I stay safe.

To the marines, though, “cover me” meant open fire immediately, which they did, unloading more than 200 M16 rounds into a house where the police had a tip about a possible domestic abuser. By sheer luck, nobody was hurt.

CJ Chivers, a New York Times reporter who was with the marines in Los Angeles in 1992 and witnessed the tail-end of this near-calamity, wrote years later of his mixed feelings about the assignment: “The Marines’ presence in greater Los Angeles … felt unnecessary,” he said. “I’d like to say we understood the context of the role we were given … But domestic crowd control had never been our specialty.”'

"But domestic crowd control had never been our specialty."

Just ask the Iraqis.

If the stakes were not so high, I would say the smartest thing the Democrats could do was to all resign and have every single Democrat replaced by a bitchy drag queen to read people like Hegseth for filth.

Maybe like when they have brought in counsel to question, they can just hire Bianca Del Rio and Jinkx Monsoon to question Hegseth next time.

Did we miss this?:

"Trump Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth took his Senate testimony in a stunning direction when he cited the study of “marbles up the rear ends of cats” during a hearing. When Hegseth insisted the bulk of the cuts were for “boondoggles” unrelated to defense health issues, Durbin asked for an example — and called BS on Hegseth’s response: SEN. DICK DURBIN (D-IL): Is this like three hundred and fifty year old Social Security check that the president told us about?

As strange as it sounds, the study Hegseth cited does exist — but that’s the only part of the story he got right. The cost of the study wasn’t “tens of millions,” it was $10,451,439.00 for the entire thing — not just the feline ass-marbles.

The marble experiments are real, but again they’re not simply done for giggles — as the study explains:

'Balloon catheters were inserted into the proximal and distal colon to measure contraction pressure. Glass marbles were inserted into the rectum to demonstrate defecation by videotaping the elimination of marbles. . . .The results have significant implications for design of a novel neuromodulation device to restore defecation function after spinal cord injury (SCI) and for optimizing sacral neuromodulation parameters to treat non-SCI people with chronic constipation'"

Also, per the Daily Show, the study was authorized in 2020 under the 1st Trump administration.

"SecDef Groupchat"

It should be noted that DEI (Drunk, Extremist, Incompetent) hire Hegseth prefers the German version of the title, SecDick Gruppenchaten.

"HEGSETH: Well, in this committee, no way in which I communicate, or what I communicate on a successful strike is something that I would share."

At least he shows some knowledge of operational security and won't share such details before Congress and just keeps them for an unsecured group chat monitored by Russia and China.

LOL, "Gruppenchat," that is apparently the word Germans use. I might have thought "Sammelrede" or something.
