I suspect Hegseth is thinking about running for governor because he knows he's on borrowed time as Secretary of Defense.

I doubt Hicseth is qualified for any job in this world. He would fail as a janitor because they clean bathrooms. Bathrooms have mirrors and Hicseth would spend his entire time in there flexing in the mirrors and not get any work done at all.

Ahhh I knew there was a reason your high energy cursing felt so familiar! You're also trapped in a red state hell while watching the country go down the shitter. Come up to Louisville if you'd like to compare shitty cops, truck hostility, or incompetent Democratic mayors!

As an Alaskan allow me to apologize for inflicting the ALEC and AIPAC chosen former governor Sean Parnell on the rest of the country, he somehow escaped when we weren't looking.

Sadly there is no return policy so don't even try...this ain't Costco.

I feel like the state government of Tennessee might be somehow more fundamentally fucked up than NC. Thank god we at least won some statewide checks and balances, even while conservative Dems in the state Congress are shitting all over us

Regarding Tennessee, I think you're right.

Related, the fact that OK cannot recall their state superintendent of education is absolutely fucking wild.

Otis Campbell was the town drunk on the Andy Griffith Show. He didn't have a mean bone in his body, unlike Hic!seth.

Secretary Shitfaced. It's official, right? I can get behind that. All these people calling him Kegsbreath confuses him with Kavanaugh for me.

Charles Grassley hid damning evidence on both of them from Senate Democrats on Judiciary so they couldn't see it

And they both believe the same white supremacist crap

and believe in treating women like property

Sooooo ...

Sure he's qualified to be guvnah of TN. He drinks whiskey, he's been on TV and he's a white supremacist.

Well ... he's qualified to be the white supremacist Republican candidate with that list of "attributes"

If Tennessee wanted a decently run state they could always look at somebody else after Bill Lee stumbles out of there

Evidence so far supports the hypothesis they care preciously little about having a decently run state.

AMOF, the opposite of a decently-run state

A gangster state

"How many jobs can one man be utterly unqualified for?"

As many as male white privilege will allow

And if Hogsbreath isn't the most glaring example -- I give you the guy who's the new unqualified nominal UN Ambassador (Ken Martin? No, that's the near-invisible dude at the top of the DNC who somehow got Ben Wikler sidelined) - you all know, the one who it was easiest to tell was doing classified government information on Signal

https://www.nbcnews.com/now/video/the-atlantic-releases-the-signal-group-chat-messages-on-u-s-strikes-in-yemen-235408453703

Or ED Martin (I think that's his name) -- so utterly corrupt his nomination failed for US Atty for the District but who was

This does at least two things:

- keeps any real power or money out of the hands of any vastly better qualified minority / marginalized person, and

- keeps all the worst reprobate fully employed -- and cash flowing through White communities -- as long as they are White, male, and kowtow to the racist malignant narcissist at the top of the pyramid (or at least that part of the gangster state who takes his orders, as well as the international white supremacist bottomless vortexes of greed from whom he takes orders).

Like LBJ's little saying come to life.

See why we kept saying it was terrible to put a malignant narcissist back in the White House -- or ALLOW him to be there because of laziness, lack of knowledge, and the perennial favorites, sexism & racism?

Yes -- WE KNOW you didn't 'believe it before. Now? How about now??

"NBC News has two sources who say Shitfaced has been talking about this, and one says it was very recent, by which we mean in the last three weeks, and very serious. The other source said he was serious too, just didn’t specify when they heard him babbling about this at the end of the bar."

In fairness, no one should take anything Hegseth says seriously unless it in his Signal thread. Why, the last time I saw him, he yelled "We are all going to drive to Tijuana!" vomited and passed out.

We still have not been to Tijuana.
