Hegseth future in doubt as even Trump allies raise questions

Sen. Joni Ernst is widely viewed as willing to accept the role and, most importantly, confirmable, the sources said. She recently spent several days at Mar-a-Lago, where she discussed Trump’s Cabinet nominees as well as plans related to DOGE, according to her social media posts.

DeSantis’ name was on the initial list of candidates for secretary of Defense that Trump was shown, per a person familiar.

Other Trump allies are floating Tennessee Sen. Bill Hagerty for the role, according to a fourth source familiar with the matter.

Why not just get Putin himself?

Why even bother either the charade any more? It’s all going to end up with that cunt anyway.

^^Putin has a job. Accommodating Trump up his asshole.

Ann Coulter trashes Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth: “In all of this talk about whether Pete Hegseth is an abuser of women, no one even mentioned that he is a serial adulterer! Are we a society that doesn’t care about adultery anymore?”

R4. Apparently not, because 49 percent of Americans just voted a serial adulterer into the highest office in the land.

A serial adulterer...and a rapist. And someone who incited an insurrection. And a thief who stole classified documents. And someone who interfered with the presidential race in Georgia.

88 indictment counts in total. It's disgusting. And adultery is the least among Trump's crimes.

I love how TDS means the poster has to list every crime committed by Trump. We know!! Meanwhile watching Hegseth walk hand in hand with wife #3 was pretty nauseating. They were both married with kids when he knocked her up. What a lovely couple.

Pete Hegseth is a person only his mother could love. Oh, wait....

Exactly, R5. It is imperative that we never forget the illegal things he did, nor the terrible person he is. His base tries deify him as the second coming, but he's nothing more than a felonious grifter and history will view him as such.

You think people here don’t know Trump is terrible?

I wouldn’t normally go for Foni Joni, but it’s better than this clown.

Why not Tommy Tuberville? You know, the guy who blocked all of the military promotions for so long? He's a real stable genius and a team player. He can think up plays.

Where's Tommy's promotion, Donnie? Why can't he finally be in charge of the troops?

Here’s to hoping even Fox won’t hire this prick back!!!

This asshole is circling the drain.

I just heard DeSantis bandied around as a replacement nominee. I would be happy to get him out of Florida two years early.

You’re a Nazi and a rapist and a drunk. All this I could forgive. But Pete—matching red, white and blue socks and pocket squares?

Everything Trump Touches Dies.

With DeSantis will we be back with No Gays in the Military?

Bet Lara Trump gets the Senate in exchange for Ron getting a new gig.

I'm tired of looking at this douchebag. I feel like this guy and Gaetz were never really contenders. It's just a pre-show to the main event.

R19-I do think same-those assholes were trial balloons to promote ‘’Pearl Clutching’’ then the real Trump ass licker is installed.

I don’t think so. I think Trump actually wanted them and was deluded enough to think he could bully them in. Remember, his first move was to demand the Senate go into recess so he could appoint whomever he wanted. He’s drunk on his victory and just now is realizing the rest of the DC power structure is not going to melt away.

R21, but everyone else opposing him is the Deep State, right?

No, he wanted them in and thought the Senate would just roll over. Elon was even threatening Senators who said they wouldn't vote for Gaetz. He just didn't count on a handful of GOP Senators actually having enough integrity to stand up against some of these picks

Thank you R5. I’m convinced that qualified nominees want nothing to do with Trump so we have this shit show of awful nominees- people who are as big a wreck as Trump.

Hope he does go down, but of course, it's not about the massive incompetence and the ridiculous fact that he was picked in the first case cause Trump seen him on the teevee. It's about the sex, the only thing we actually are allowed to care about in this great and glorious republic.

I wouldn't hate Joni Ernst as a replacement, but I can't imagine Trump picking a woman for this job. And I'm not sure he could trust her 100% to commit treason for him, which is always his number one consideration for all his picks.

Why are we still talking about him? Why doesn't he have the decency to withdraw his interest? He's not suited for any job. Maybe a salmon trawler in Alaska.

Frau Whiteboots? As SecDef?

He abuses women and has nazi regalia tattooed on his body. And is completely unqualified for the job.

He should be confirmed. That’s what America voted for.

[QUOTE]AYFKM. "[Hegseth] newly vowed to senators that he won’t drink if he’s confirmed."

Hegseth is really fucked. He thinks he can stop drinking just like that? Does he even think he has a problem? What kind of a rehab do high profile people go to?

If he doesn't get the post, he's probably going to think his life is over. I assume he can't go back to Fox. He can't party or drink in public anymore or the videos will come fast and furious. He's going to be one miserable boy.

Aw, gee. What a shame, r29.

Anyway - how’s the weather there? It’s freezing and the wind is howling here

HOLDING HANDS WITH HIS ‘’WIFE’’ AS THE MEDIA SWARMS’’ (Still laughing out loud here)
