Personally I would have went with Bill O'Reilly but Ok... Comparing looks, Trump did pick the better looking... 21 views and not one comment... makes sense on this board
Try to think back, if you can, to the transition period of the Biden-Harris administration. I’m talking about the personnel decisions — and particularly the key Cabinet appointments — that the incoming administration made in the weeks after the media called the race for Joe Biden, back at the end of 2020.Those personnel decisions were treated as non-stories. They came and went, and the media didn’t talk much about them. There wasn’t a lot of outrage or debate. Pete Buttigieg, for example, became the Transportation Secretary because he likes trains and was vaguely interested in airplanes. And he’s gay. Those were his qualifications. So they put him in charge of the Department of Transportation, which has a budget of tens of billions of dollars and oversees the nation’s railways and airports. Why not? It made sense to Democrats at the time. What’s the worst that could happen? A train carrying toxic chemicals might derail somewhere in Ohio? What are the odds of that?And then there was the nomination of Lloyd Austin to lead the Defense Department. That was really inspiring. You see, Lloyd Austin was serving on the board of Raytheon, one of the biggest defense contractors in the world. Raytheon was paying him a lot of money. And then, without much fanfare, the Biden-Harris administration appointed Lloyd Austin to run the Pentagon. What could go wrong? Surely Lloyd Austin wouldn’t try to enrich his former colleagues in the defense industry by, say, sending billions of dollars worth of weaponry to a tiny, corrupt country in Eastern Europe. That would be unthinkable.
With this track record, the absolute last person you’d want to pick for the job of Defense Secretary is another Lloyd Austin. The Lloyd Austins of the world are the ones who created the very situation that Hegseth was talking about in the clip. That’s why you need someone who’s motivated and equipped to make some radical changes. You want someone who knows what it’s like to be a soldier in a warzone, and who hasn’t been corrupted by his connections to the military-industrial complex. In short, you want someone like Pete Hegseth.As you’d expect, Democrats don’t see it that way. They lost their minds when Trump briefly paused the flow of military weapons to Ukraine, and now they’re losing their minds because Pete Hegseth might spurn the defense industry, too. Elizabeth Warren, the senator from Massachusetts, was particularly enraged. She was sneering last night, along with a lot of her colleagues. She wrote: “A Fox & Friends weekend co-host is not qualified to be the Secretary of Defense. I lead the Senate military personnel panel. All three of my brothers served in uniform. I respect every one of our servicemembers. Donald Trump’s pick will make us less safe and must be rejected.”So right away, the woman who pretended to be an Indian tries to dismiss Hegseth as a “weekend co-host.” She completely ignores his military service, his ideas, and his advocacy for veterans. We’re supposed to believe that, if Hegseth had served on the board of Raytheon, he would somehow be vastly more equipped for the job. We apparently want Defense Secretaries who are bureaucrats or defense contractors. Because that has obviously worked out so well over the past three decades.And in the context of a second Trump administration, the criticisms of Pete Hegseth make even less sense. Recall that, under the first Trump administration, the Pentagon actively sabotaged Trump’s policy objectives. Our envoy to Syria has admitted this. It’s one of the most incredible admissions ever printed, but it never got much attention. The envoy stated that officials in the first Trump administration were, “always playing shell games” in order to hide the actual number of U.S. troops in Syria from Trump.” That’s an actual quote — “shell games.” In other words, they were lying to the commander in chief. Trump wanted troops to leave Syria, and they told him the troops were gone. And it wasn’t true.People should’ve been put on trial for that. But it just faded from memory. Given that background, you can understand why — this time around — Trump wants someone he can actually depend upon. He wants to work with people he can trust. That’s the single most important quality that a Cabinet pick can have. And that’s very obvious to Trump now, after what he experienced in his first term.But Democrats are still going to resist this nomination anyway, for reasons that they can’t even articulate. They just know that it would be a disaster for them if an outsider took control of the Defense Department.
A great pick.
What makes sense on this board? You've become so bitter.Anyway, don't recall you complaining when Biden did the following:
No one gives two shits what you think, Fucktard!
This part. Wishing death on fellow Americans for not getting the governments poisonous shot, celebrating the attempted assassination of Trump, etc. He's definitely swallowed the liberal kool aid.
