A political commentator for Fox News

He reportedly persuaded Trump to pardon three American soldiers accused or convicted of war crimes related to the shooting of non-combatants in Iraq.

sounds about right for y'all

As a Fox News personality, he frequently criticized the media and Democrats.

go on..

On June 14, 2015, Hegseth accidentally hit a West Point drummer with an axe while filming a live TV segment in honor of Flag Day.

okay..

In May 2019, it was reported that Trump was considering pardoning several US military service members who had been charged with war crimes, including a veteran set to stand trial for shooting indiscriminately at civilians, hitting a girl and an elderly man,[31] as well as fatally stabbing a captured teenage Islamic State (ISIS) member while he was receiving medical treatment. The Daily Beast and CNN later reported that Hegseth had for months sought to convince Trump to pardon these individuals

allright..

In February 2020, amid the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, Hegseth said that Democrats were "rooting for coronavirus to spread. They're rooting for it to grow. They're rooting for the problem to get worse."

tell me more..

Hegseth and his first wife, Meredith Schwarz, divorced in 2009. He married his second wife, Samantha Deering, in 2010; they have three children.[17]

In August 2017, while still married to Deering, Hegseth had a daughter with Fox executive producer Jennifer Rauchet, with whom he was having an extramarital relationship.

y'all really know how to pick your christian mainstream media personalities and future Secretary of Defense, dude... congrats!

So...you're impressed with his qualifications?  

When I first read that a Fox News robot had been appointed, I was concerned.  So I did some research and found out he has an extensive military background.

Is he the most qualified?  I doubt it.  But it's not like they pulled Ron Burgundy in to be Defense Secretary, either.

Not only that, he also characterizes Democrats as domestic enemies.  This is going to be just fan freaking tastic.

While the post-9/11 generation of patriots spent two decades fighting enemies abroad, we allowed America’s domestic enemies at home to gobble up cultural, political, and spiritual territory. Overextended, our rear guard was exposed—and the enemy pounced. (Republicans and conservatives at home did a really shitty job holding down the home front, to say the least.)

What we eventually discovered is that just like an enemy at war, the radical Left never stops moving and planning. They do not respect cease-fires, do not abide by the rules of warfare, and do not respect anything except total defeat of their enemy—and then total control. They consistently attack without regard for reciprocity or fairness. They are willing to fight by any means necessary, which includes destroying the very Constitution that cloaks their treason.

The radical Left never takes a day off and uses every avenue – political, cultural, and educational – to push its agenda.

Pure projection. Very common amongst tPubs.

He sees half of this country as the literal enemy of this country.  He is not remotely qualified.  In saying these things about the people of this country, he is on a road to treason. These people are Not even pretending to be american anymore.

And you've never worked hard a day in your life. Yep, you've mentioned that once or twice now. Thanks for chiming in again.

His new boss said the same thing and got elected in a landslide.  Clearly none of that matters to the general public.

You mentioned the price of your expensive meal, and claimed you talked about the high price of groceries.

Did you also talk about your lack of self awareness?

No, we all sat there and marveled that if we were bitching about the cost of groceries, that the 99% were probably really struggling and it wasn't just in their heads like a lot of pro Blue Wave people here claimed.

Until you are able to objectively look at the Democratic party and perform a post election autopsy on why you lost to the worst candidate ever presented in the history of the country - FUCKING TWICE - then you're going to continue to fail.

But by all means, make fun of my mid level dinner and boring friends.

He is not the worst candidate ever. Half the country fucking loves him. If he were the worst, they wouldn't love him as much. But I blame a right wing psyop and an internal civil information war for that, without the propaganda and manipulation he would likely be the worst candidate ever.

So…to be clear…you were bitching about the price of groceries while eating an expensive dinner.

Yes. So what? Does the price of my steak make the price of milk or eggs less?

Are you being deliberately obtuse? Surely you must see my point.

The prices at that restaurant were not based on the price of the food, dude.

The prices at the restaurant have nothing to do with the price of food. They do, however, illustrate that people in upper middle class America are also noticing the price of groceries going up. It's not just the single mothers of 3, or the minority student working two jobs that are talking about this.

So you, as someone who has touted how great Bidenomics has been, might take something away from this. But I doubt it.

Bidenomics was for the long term, not what you had to pay for eggs because of the egg cartel and bird flu.  I would think a bunch of brains eating at a mid-level joint like you would know that, but stupid is as stupid does I guess.

That explanation worked out great for Kamala, didn't it?

Oh, and yet he voted for Harris. So did those other guys at dinner he was with the other day and dropped like $3800 or something like that.

They were way overcharged, probably 75% of it on "expensive" drinks that cost the establishment less that $10 per bottle.
