When are Republican Senators going to demand Hegseth’s firing?

Do you think restructuring a massive corrupt organization would be seamless?
It's possible that Hegseth is incompetent - e.g., the unsecure text chain. But it's also entirely possible that the things we're witnessing are the result of interested actors attempting to sabotage a restructuring.
Until the evidence is overwhelming and presented by a neutral source rather than the party apparatchik, the working assumption of rational people has to be that this is just part of the response to Trump 2.0.
TRUMPTRAIN COMIN'!!! WHOOT WHOOT!!
Yes, all his troubles stem from his efforts to “restructure”
Restructuring clearly necessitates multiple insecure group chats in which he shares classified info.
You got it!
To your point. Here you go.

Hegseth had said over and over that DOD spending will be $1T next year
You dolts should stop pretending that all this has anything to do with saving money.
That’s the difference between a restructuring and a reduction

Nothing of importance is going to be restructured
Unless you think the contents of the USNA library is important.
Getting rid of the status quo has value along with old entitled people and old entitled ideas.

Tell us about Hegseth’s management experience to overhaul Defense Department.

The problem with chicken little-ing everything Trump does AGAIN is that's why he was re-elected.

The welfare of US servicemen is “chicken little-ing?”
And nice dodge in failing to tell us about Hegseth’s prior management experience to make him best suited to overhaul the Department of Defense.
The only reason Hegseth was selected by Trump is because Hegseth is loyal yes man, incapable of standing on his own two feet.
Trump is doing everything he can to keep American servicemen out of harm's way in Biden's wars.

You are a delusional fool
Obviously never served your country
By his DOD Sec announcing an upcoming attack with details on an unsecured channel? Rank
incompetence that could have led to loss of American lives.
By appointing an incompetent Sec Def?

The jury is still out on whether he is incompetent. Yes, a mistake was made with signal but I’m
Thinking it’s too early to call him incompetent. He fired a handful of people. That’s his choice.
The bar isn’t real high here. The prior guy got 13 soldiers killed and was never held accountable. He also disappeared for a medical reason and never let the President know. So, as I have said many times, let things play out and see what happens. Sound fair?
No, the jury isn’t still out. Glazing over incompetence like usual
You’re just talking out of your ass as usual
Good post. Not abusive at all and full of substantive content. No pollution happening here!

The beginning has been a “rocky road” and that’s being kind…
I wasn’t too concerned about this appointment at first. The signal app shit is inexcusable. Also, there are rumblings that the Pentagon chiefs have lost confidence in him. All that said is enough to fire him.
On top of that, he’s a known womanizer, on his 3rd wife, he’s a drunk, and even his own mother has spoken up about him.
Ok. I'm willing to be patient, just like with Trump. It's hard to ding him on being a womanizer
and a drunk when that seems to the normal behavior in Washington. It's really hard to take a stand with this guy when it's been the norm and ignored. It was even brought up during his hearing about Senators voting while being drunk. Hell, a past President got a BJ in the oval office from an intern. We are led by the worst people but pick and choose who we want to drop the hammer on.
You know damn well the only reason Hegseth was appointed is because he’s a yes man…
Think about it. A weekend Fox News host and now the sec def. At least Trump appointed credible sec defs in his first term. It’s like he went with a clown show this time around. Perplexing to say the least.
Yes, thats a possibility. We went from DEI hires to yes men being hired. Both sides are ok with
their guys choices and had issues with the other guys. It's the state of the country and the silos we live in. I know my circle has all kinds of people in it but politics will never be discussed. It's just better that way.
You do know that the DEI thing was/is all about nothing, right?…
DEI doesn’t mean hiring/appointing a less qualified person. Seriously, go through all of the alleged DEI hires/appointees and research their background. Then you can determine if they’re less qualified than the next person.
Seriously, Trump tried to blame the mid are collision on the Hudson on DEI.
Yes, that was beyond dumb to blame the crash on anything other then pilot error. But he has
diarrhea of the mouth most days.
When people were put into really important positions based of DEI, it's more than nothing. We had a VP and SCOTUS picked based on it. You're telling me that Kamala was the most qualified to be VP and Jackson was the best SCOTUS pick. This after Biden ran on appointing a black woman to the court.
Disagree wholeheartedly re. Harris…
She was most assuredly qualified having served as the CA AG and in the House. Hell, if you consider her DEI, would you consider Vance a DEI appointee?
She's as dumb as a brick and was put into the VP role because she was a black female, and Biden said
as much. Her word salads are legendary. I'm sure there were other choices but Joe couldn't go back on his promise.
I was shocked with Vance. I thought Rubio had the inside track. Not sure if Trump promised to hire a white male as his VP.
Again, I disagree…
however, if being dumb as a box of rocks disqualifies anyone from public office, Trump and Vance would be disqualified.
True, Jackson could not even define "woman".
Health Secretary was a tranny as was the dude who wore dresses and stole luggage. The whole Biden term was DEI hire after DEI hire.
The secretary of defense is using unsecured apps for texting military plans not only
to other government appointees but to his family and friends? If not incompetent then negligent and treasonous, how about that?
You have a very low bar and DJT appointees have proven they are less competent than even DJT is.

Secretary of Defense is arguably the most important cabinet post.
No wiggle room for incompetence, immaturity, dishonesty, and recklessness.
Our service members deserve much better.
Dems like captive patients to experiment upon. They love the military for the wrong reasons.

Just as stupid as saying “liberals don’t have guns” -
Or “Obama’s coming for your guns.”
It’s just nonstop stupidity from you MAGAmonon cult members.
the last 4 years notwithstanding, right?

Who could have foreseen such epic failure?
Everyone but MAGA douchenozzles
I’d be surprised if more than one or two call for Hegseth’s firing.::
The GOP is spineless when it comes to Trump. Fucking pussies.
His confirmation required Vance to break the tie.
A handful of Republicans who voted yes are up for reelection in 2026. They will need cover from other colleagues to repair the damage.
