    Welp, now the alcoholic guy who paid off a woman for sexual assault while cheating on his second wife with his third wife is SecDef. But at least he has no experience leading large organizations.

    I like how they are holding the RFK Jr hearings for last. That’s where the fireworks will be.

    Best hope the Undersecretaries and other qualified Defense staff don't get axed. There need to be experienced people at DoD.

    The only reason maga likes this guy is because he “upsets” libs. It’s like the whole stance of the movement. His qualifications are zilch and no one cares lol. This is like Ben Sasse coming to Uf and being totally overwhelmed by the size of the institution and the complexity of the job. But hey. Owned the libs. So mission accomplished.

    Did you watch his confirmation hearings?
    He did quite well for himself against a lot of top democrats loaded and ready to play dirty. The man has a good head on his shoulders and won't fold under pressure.

    dude drinks his ass off it’s like the definition of folding under life pressure. It’s one thing to hold up in a combat scenario which not everyone can do and I’d say confirmation is akin to that because it’s a fight. The day to day grind of running an organization the size of dod? That’ll drive someone to drink and it requires an elevated level of patience, humility, and life discipline that this guy to this point has not consistently demonstrated. But that’s just imo.

    An old post, but only now getting around to reading this thread. As you are known to misspell words from time to time, would you to please clarify your intent in using this word as it is written, or perhaps it is an inadvertent misspelling as the addition of the e changes the meaning. And that's no sleight of hand. just a slight spelling error. Inquiring mind wants to know... Thanks

    https://www.vocabulary.com/articles...ight sound the,slight drop in the temperature.
    Slight and sleight sound the same, but things that are slight are little and light, and sleight means slyness or sneakiness.

    Slight is usually an adjective that describes things that are small, flimsy, or insignificant, like a slight drop in the temperature.
