For SECDEF we've had four-star FOGOs, men with military experience, leaders of industry and CEOs, some were good, some were awful.
Hegseth is smart (Princeton, Harvard), knows policy, just lacks some of that big management experience. I'm ok with it, but not ecstatic. Let's say "cautiously optimistic."

Love it, for his political prowess. But dude has baggage.

Not a huge fan.
The guy has some great soundbites with some very valid points, but he's also seems like kind of a shitbird.
Maybe there's no fire, but there seems to be a lot of smoke...

Confirmation hearings are going to be popcorn worthy, especially with AOC melting down

From a strategic standpoint, I like the way he is spreading out the division of labor between loyalists, former presidential contenders, and conservative-leaning mavericks.
Gabbard for ODNI is a solid pick for him as well, if only for her being the least politically hardline of his picks (she went D->I->R) to run intel.

I give Gaetz 50/50, at best, for confirmation.
I believe the confirmation hearings will be a Senate subcommittee affair...AOC is not a Senator...Bernie will have to cover her slack.
Any Republican voting no had better be safe, or retiring at the end of their term.

Oh good, I just checked and the squad are all representatives.
Guys- Gaetz is getting confirmed. It's not 50/50, his (considerable) baggage won't matter.
Just lean into it.

Nah, I'm betting he withdraws before confirmation begins. Game on. He doesn't get confirmed, the second nominee does.

Not being directly involved won't stop her from having a public, low-IQ meltdown in front of a very friendly media.

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em....

Swalwell wasn't kicked out of the chamber when for dating a Chinese spy...

Agreed, pundits are already losing their shit about Gaetz and Hegseth in the mainstream media. I bet Pelosi and Chuck are coming apart at the seams. They both should be coming along soon to enlighten us.

Who are you referring to as a troll? Members here?
If so, we are not doing that here. (See below)
