budaatum:Americans are fools. Anyway, look at this.
If it were a Black person conservative fools and the Black people who parrot these right wing racist talking points would call the person a DEI hire. Pete Hegseth is as unqualified as they come. Cc. Cococandy, Happney65, Ijebos. |

AmazonTopaz:This absolute piece of garbage of a man said he’ll sober up if he’s given the job. Not before. Can anyone else even keep a low tier job with this kind of label hanging over them? Regularly gets drunk at work. Been fired multiple times at different jobs for misconduct. His behavior and record alone make him susceptible to blackmail. Not a position for a secretary of defense. The whole thing is a joke. White supremacy at its finest. That’s why I look at black people who parrot the right wing anti DEI narrative with disdain. No critical thinking skills. |

Looks like Hegseth ran rings around the Senators today Pete Hegseth: B.A in Politics Princeton University, MPP Harvard University SEN. SHEEHY: “How many genders are there?” HEGSETH: “Two genders” (At last we have someone who knows about male and female genders and can differentiate) "Do you support Israel's war in Gaza?" Pete Hegseth: "I support Israel destroying and killing every last member of Hamas." (Every terrorist deserves to be destroyed) "Can you give me ANY example of where you've driven innovation at ANY organization?" HEGSETH: Oh, absolutely. At Concerned Veterans for America, we created the Fixing Veterans' Healthcare Task Force - bipartisan, never been done before - to drive policy change on Capitol Hill that organizations fought ferociously against. We got the VA Accountability Act passed, and the Mission Act passed in a way-" ANGUS KING: “Your position is torture’s okay. Is that correct? Waterboarding? Torture is no longer prohibited given the circumstances of whatever war we’re in. Is that correct?” HEGSETH: “Senator, that is not what I said. I’ve never been party to torture. We are a country that fights by the rule of law, and our men and women always do. And yet we have too many people here in air-conditioned offices that like to point fingers at the guys in dark and dangerous places, the gals in helicopters in enemy territory who are doing things that people in Washington, D.C., would never dare to do.” HEGSETH: "The weight of the bravo machine gun you might have to carry does not change. Whether it is a man or woman, they have to meet the same high standards. In any place where those things have been eroded or course criteria have been changed in order to meet quotas Senator Markwayne Mullin: “How many senators showed up drunk to vote at night? Don't tell me you haven't seen it because I know you have! How about a divorce for cheating on their wives Did you ask them to step down? No!! . This is A big show" |

Pete Hegseth: "Our left-wing media doesn't CARE about the truth. All they want to do is destroy ME - because I am a change agent, a threat to them." "Left-wing media, anonymous source after anonymous source, based on second-or-third-hand account. People would tell me, 'I've spoken to this reporter on the record about who you are. They didn't print MY quote, any of my quotes.'" |

raumdeuter:---He can't even answer his own quotes from 2013 and until recently as last November---he was just side-stepping--- he hardly answered a single question---for example Senator Duckwith asked him how many countries are part of ASEAN---Trump has got a yes man as Secretary of Defense--- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FTuT8CGxKg |

AmazonTopaz:Exactly. But it'd be worse. No Democrat Nominee would put up any black person as unqualified as this. But the black parrotts on this site would still find a way to call them a DEI hire because they're are black and of course black people can never be qualified. Yet, crickets on this unqualified mess of a person in one of the most important jobs. |

raumdeuter:Lol. You mean why does the US Defense Secretary need to know what ASEAN countries are important to the US esp. since the US has US military (Defense) personnel in some of them and esp. now when the US is confronting China and some of those countries have key implications for that? I'm assuming that's what your uneducated, unreading, sycophantic, ready to defend all manner of foolishness ass meant. Lol. Or Did you not know that the Defense Secretary was responsible for US military personnel around the World even in ASEAN countries? Or like Hegseth did you not know what the ASEAN countries were or why some of them were important militarily? |

IjeBos:Hegseth A Princeton and Harvard Grad He is a Bronze star winner with multiple battle field experience He doesnt know it and he doesnt have to know everything, He will have advisers who know about it. You know it, Maybe they will put you up for nomination. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by IjeBos(m): 3:45am On Jan 15, 2025 |
raumdeuter:Do you even understand how stupid you sound? Defense Secretaries usually have a deep understanding of the US Military, the World, Geo Politics and Military Tactics. And you want a dude who doesn't even know where US military troops are stationed to be in charge of the US Military and get on the job training at a time of Worldwide instability? There's always a level of incredible dumbfuckery when you open your mouth. If this were a black man, you'd be yelling DEI though. At least you seem to respect IVY league graduates now. I guess his whiteness made a difference for you. He wants to be Defense Secretary but doesn't know where US troops are stationed. - Doesn't matter he's white. Doesn't know what ASEAN countries are even though US troops are stationed there. -Doesn't matter he's white. Doesn't understand the importance of ASEAN countries in this moment where the US is trying to push back on China. - Doesn't matter he's white. Your words are always soaked with deep levels of hypocrisy. |

Confirming Pete Hegseth is a national security risk but he will be confirmed anyway. America is cooked, it's sad how they just don't realize it yet too. |

AmazonTopaz: IjeBos:They know the truth . I refuse to chalk it up to ignorance. As with all their politicians that they go gaga about, it’s almost always about something else than the job or the ability of the nominee to do the job. Pete said he wants to restore “warrior culture ” to the military (whatever that truly means) without women in combat positions. That’s the reason they support him. It’s usually some emotional nonsense like this that fuels their political stances. But it’s pathetically funny coming from a blubbering alcoholic who smells like whiskey at work. Pretty sure a female soldier can mop the floor with him without breaking a sweat. He doesn’t need senate confirmation. He needs to go to rehab. But one can only hope. |

IjeBos:What is stupid is you thinking Pete who was his high school Valedictorian, Who got his Bachelors in Princeton in Politics and Masters from Harvard is not smart enough to be Defence Secretary Okay you have your gotcha moment, he doesn't know the ASEAN countries so what? As Defense Secretary he will have advisers who know about it. Just like the US president doesn't have to know everything about everything Bring a Black Yellow Green Orange man who was his high school Valedictorian, Princeton Harvard Grad, who was a Bronze star winner and excelled in the military and show who would call him DEI It's dumb DEI people like you who are so insecure about their existence that always want to play the race card everytime at everything which is why you are unaccomplished in life and failed at every endeavor When Condoleeza Rice a black woman faced the same senate we had people like John Kerry question her records and statements. It was reported that she had the highest amount of NO votes of Defence Secretaries since WW2. |

cococandy:What Pete said HEGSETH: "The weight of the bravo machine gun you might have to carry does not change. Whether it is a man or woman, they have to meet the same high standards. In any place where those things have been eroded or course criteria have been changed in order to meet quotas What he said about warrior mentality is that at the war front facing enemy bullets no one cares if you are black white Green or blue. There are certain requirements. The weight of the Bravo machine gun does not change, the bullets you face does not change. You have to meet certain standards as enemy bullets does not discriminate for men women short tall black white. They are the same at warfront If it's height, weight, speed, body mass, strength accuracy etc whatever requirements you have to meet it cos it means life or death for you and your colleagues Didn't we have a LA fire dept officer saying she is not strong enough to carry people from a fire? Imagine a man who collapsed in a fire due to smoke and this was the first responder saying she is not strong enough to carry him. Now think at warfront your colleague just took a bullet and needs to be lifted and you say you cannot because you are a smaller man in size or obese man and don't meet the strength requirements Your job means life and death in many cases and not a place to take anything besides those qualified to do the physical and mental work. That's why the army has physical requirements before you can join. |

budaatum:I only exaggerate to prick any readers conscience. For instance if I claim Biden family received $100.56 million from china , it's upon you to correct me that they gave his family over $20 million. The point is not whether I exaggerate but why was they given the $$$ ,that's what should concern you. |

cococandy:Right wing is no crime. Hear what a leftwing said about NBC. Tucker Carlson: You said this was the beginning of Trump derangement syndrome. Did you sense that at NBC? Billy Bush: Oh, God. Absolutely. I mean, anything. Remember this, over at ABC News, at the same time when Trump became President, they launched a 70… they built a 75-person investigative unit. I know the guy who was head of it, dedicated to anything negative on Trump. Find stuff on him and get him out. This is not journalism. This is not news. It is activism. When you’re calling journalism, it’s total activism. If you don't know Billy Bush , he was the guy who Trump was talking to in the grab them by the pussy clip. ABC has 70 plus strong team to look for dirt on Trump and you want me to believe their crap. You might now be inclined to agree with me that some media house licences though tanking of late should be proscribed. |

IjeBos:I can give you a better reason to hate Trump.He has stated on TV that only a tiny percentage of the population can acquire as much wealth as him. You need to be some kind of genius. Maybe you can prove him wrong I'm not sure whether it's an episode where he enumerated American wealth ..I could dig it up. |

raumdeuter:Yes, it's quite stupid to think that Experience and Expertise matter esp. in a position of Secretary of Defence in this moment when there are wars in Ukraine, The Middle East and the US is pushing back on China. You think just because someone has an IVY league degree means they should be Defense Secretary? Does it mean he should be a Brain Surgeon as well? What about a professor on Astro Physics? So you think Hunter Biden would have been a good Defense Secretary as well I assume. Hunter went to the more prestigious Yale Law School. And was a Professor at Georgetown. They also seem to have the same issues with substance abuse and making good personal decisions. But of course you don't think that. You just play the fool on select occasions. Welcome to the land where experience nor expertise matter. And just like all racists, you bring up a black woman in an unrelated situation to make a point. Condoleezza Rice was never Secretary of Defense. The no votes for Secretary of of State were because of all the lies she told to get the US into war with Iraq. But racists don't seem to care about facts just what serves their racist purpose. You should spend some of the roughly ~4 hours a day you spend here actually reading and learning US history. Will help you not continuously open your mouth and stick your foot in it. It always cracks me up. The IVy league grad who I'm sure makes at a minimum double what you make is unaccomplished. Yet the fool who spends 4 hours a day (averaged over a decade) drooling over teenage woman on an online chat forum is accomplished? Wonders never cease. Go rest. |

IjeBos:One more time, Pete Hegseth was his class valedictorian, studied Politics at Princeton, Got his Masters in Harvard, Has on the field experience in combat zones in the frontlines. Yet you a never do well, a serial failure in life who has never achieved anything thinks you have a moment or something on him? You have failed in life, Pete is about your age and he is nominee for Defense secretary, you are living in your moms basement with zero achievement Who makes double what I make? I hope not you cos that would be hilarious. You are the poorest person here, the least intelligent and generally the morron of the thread. Your mates have kids in college, you cant even get a job. No income, no investment, no life. Thats why you think being taken for dinners by men your age is a flex. When your friend is planning college majors with his kid Its always funny how jealous you sound when talking about people superior to you in achievements. Cos it makes you sound so bitter and little. That is why you are so lonely and depressed |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by IjeBos(m): 4:59pm On Jan 15, 2025 |
raumdeuter:He said that because he was Valedictorian of his High School makes him qualified to be Secretary of Defense. Not the people who are professors at the US War Colleges? Not the people who have spent decades understating Geo Politics and negotiating with World Leaders? Not the people who write policy papers and have commanded Scored of Troops? No the most qualified is a Fox News TV Personality. I guess when someone walks in and says our troops in the ASEAN theater have been attacked, we can all rest assured, because after he says "HUh? Where?", his experience from being Valediction will get us through. lol. What is most hilarious from all of your posts is that to write your posts you have to pretend you are a teenager, not some man in his mid 50's. You are older than both Hegseth and me. Tell me what have you accomplished in life outside of averaging 4 hours here daily, writing these nonsense braindead posts and drooling over teenagers? You somehow want people to believe you have a high paying job, a family, ran a business to the ground, all while averaging 4 hours a day on an internet forum for a decade? You got jokes. Go rest. |

IjeBos:I know you are reetarded. So I will repeat it again so you can be jealous as usual Pete Hegseth was his High school Valedictorian, After that he got his Bachelors in Politics from Princeton, He got a job with Bear Stearns, joined the military, Got his Bronze star Came back to Work at Bear Stearns, deployed to Afghanistan, then got his Master from Harvard Became an advocate for Veterans Then became a Fox News host Pete is not older than you. Look at the track record of excellence, something you can never achieve in 7 lifetimes, which is why little men like you become jealous. Pete achieved all that plus a Fox TV personality Same way You are jealous that I make more than you, own more assets, ran a business, have people who like me, Have a real life, Can laugh and share a joke with different people while averaging 4hrs a ay on here. While you have nothing to point to in life, No one cares about you, No one wants to be your friend, no one wants to breed with you, No one wants to work with you, nor employ you, No one even wants to educate you. That is why you are depressed lonely, failed. |

raumdeuter:The resume of the US Defense Secretary nominee. Ahahahahah What is insane is that you actually wrote that as if it were impressive or were qualifications to be the Secretary of Defense. You really are an easily duped stupid person. Anyone interested, google the resume of any of the Biden/Obama/Bush/Clinton Defense Secretaries to see how unqualified this particular pick is. raumdeuter:Bwahahaah. My guy, my life and your life don't balance. I chop life while you sit online trying to chop teenage girls. He said I'm jealous of him and his 4 hours spent online sounding like a buffoon.
