‘You gotta be kidding me’: Hegseth used these four things to decide on senior officer promotions

A senior official exclusively told MS NOW how decorated military officers with decades of experience were withheld from promotion after Pentagon staff printed out internet searches showing they had attended official events like promoting COVID-19 vaccinations or marking International Women’s Day.

    He’ll be replaced with a bigger piece of shit within a day.

    Impeach the commander in shit.

        I know. I’m going for realistic expectations, considering his last trial didn’t even include witnesses.

      What if Democrats manage to investigate and refer evidence to state criminal trials (so they are safe from pay-to-pardon) all of Trump’s corrupt appointees, and let Trump pick more corrupt people to repeat the cycle, like flies to a piece of crap?

      Hegseth was actually appointed with no margin of error, 50:50 and VP tiebreaker, so no a worse guy could not replace him.

      Exactly, this shithead just put his lead shithead as chief-of-staff. These picks are just getting worse. They’re probably just waiting for nazi general clones to finish gestating before firing more women and minorities in leadership positions.

      Genuinely unsure about this, but what happens if Congress impeaches, convicts and removes him and then chooses not to confirm any of the new candidates put forward for the next two years? Does the department just operate without a secretary?

        Dumbfuck had lots of “acting” whatevers; presumably that would work here, too. But as noted, no matter how bad the current guy is, there’s always someone worse out there.

      First of all, not within a day, and second, the replacement can be immediately impeached too. Disruption is still a win compared to letting Hegseth or any replacement purge and politicize the military with impunity.
