'Full-blown meltdown at the Pentagon': Hegseth reportedly 'unlikely to remain in his role'
-
"The Pentagon is in 'total chaos' and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson [John Ullyot], who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and continuous missteps at the highest levels of the department," according to the report.
-
"He [John Ullyot] accused Hegseth’s team of 'falsehoods' about why three top officials were fired last week, saying they hadn’t leaked sensitive information to the media. He chastised Pentagon officials for how they handled revelations that Hegseth shared sensitive military information in a Signal chat, and he pointed to other leaks that caused embarrassment to the administration," the weekend report states. "The remarkable accusations by a former official — who left only two days ago and insists he still supports the Trump administration’s national security policies — underscores the infighting and upheaval that has turned increasingly public in recent weeks."

be even more inept and incompetent than the last filthy maga traitor cunt sycophant
Good job Ed on posting a link from the most thoroughly discredited site in the world. Raw Dog makes The Atlantic look like Walter Cronkite.
Cuz in this case the actual FACTS have been reported identically by numerous other sources.
But I guess they'll all wrong, right Wanker?
Until then I’ll just make fun of the dumbest poster on the board for posting a link to Raw Dog.
Because it will lead you to a full page of sources from which you can pick.
Oh, right. That would only confuse Wanker with the FACTS.
…you posted a Google search, and it’s not your thread, it’s Ed’s.
The Google page has links to dozens of articles. And what does it matter who posts a link? Only lazy weasels care.
let him white knight for Ed.
Now 'splaiin to us, WeaselChicK, how it's WK-ing to simply point out the utter inadequacy of Wanker's feeble complaint?
as chicken shit filthy maga traitor cunt WK's for another filthy maga traitor cunt - and tries (fails) to call you WK'ing. What a fucking MORON
Filthy maga traitor cunts can't handle the TRUTH. or FACTS. Filthy maga traitor cunts only care about how deep they can suck the convicted felon criminal traitor's cock and how much filthy maga traitor alternate reality of delusional stupidity spunk they can swallow.
And you replied after I debunked the totally made up fake story that NPR pulled out of their ass which they posted as revenge for losing their leaky little sources.
One of my favorite lines in a film is from Idiocracy. “You ever wonder if Einstein thought everyone was a dumb ass?”
Many of my closest friends are spectacularly bright people. Over time it can warp your sense of normal, and it can become a bit of a culture shock when you run into a bonafide nitwit.
My first impulse with nitwits is not to tell them they’re dumber than dog droppings, but to try to help them. Make sure they don’t do something stupid like inadvertently set their hair on fire while trying to operate a toaster.
But sometimes you meet someone and you forget just how stupid they are. You do something like show them a meme and notice they drool when they attempt to read.
Normally, I can just avoid such people, but when you find yourself working with them as I did many moons ago, you just know that at some point you will be negatively impacted by their stupidity.
I don’t take pleasure in tricking tards, but when they do things that end up wasting your time and money and they do it over and over again, eventually your patience wears thin. And then you realize you can very easily ruin their day with not much thought or effort.
Tell tard A that tard B keeps stealing his lunch. Tell tard B that tard A keeps stealing his lunch. Then stand back and watch the free entertainment you just created for yourself. Ever seen two people get into a fist fight over a chicken wing?
This is basically the same thing that happened with the Defense Secretary. He fired back stabbing leakers who were trying to undermine the administration. Those leakers then went to the media outlets they would leak to to cry about it. Those media outlets then just made up a bunch more lies as revenge for losing their sources. Dems are tards who think their old back stabbing tricks are still going to work. It isn’t.
your filthy maga traitor cunt post then. Dumb fuck.

‘A month from hell’: Pete Hegseth’s former aides at Pentagon call for his removal over conduct
Courtney Kube, NBC News National Security Correspondent and Frank Kendall, Former Secretary of the Air Force join Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House with the latest developments in the growing scandals involving Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth involved in another group chat sharing classified information which included his brother and wife, with many of his closest advisors, who have left the Pentagon, calling for his removal from the position.
It might not even take a month - but we all know convicted felon criminal traitor wants his 'yes man' in office as long as possible.
'Totally unacceptable': GOP congressman breaks ranks to publicly demand Trump fire Hegseth
In a rare moment of disunity among House Republicans, Politico reports GOP Rep. Bacon (R-Neb.) advised President Donald Trump to fire U.S. Sec. of Defense Pete Hegseth, saying the resulting chain of chaos is why Republicans were leery of approving him in the first place.
“If it’s true that he had another [Signal] chat with his family, about the missions against the Houthis, it’s totally unacceptable,” said Bacon, a lead Republican on the House Armed Services Committee. “I’m not in the White House, and I’m not going to tell the White House how to manage this … but I find it unacceptable, and I wouldn’t tolerate it if I was in charge.”
Bacon is referring a New York Times report that Hegseth shared sensitive information about military air strikes in Yemen in a commercially-available Signal app that also included his wife, his brother and a personal lawyer. The New York Times report is the second report of Trump officials using an unclassified messaging platform to share sensitive information.

“I had concerns from the get-go because Pete Hegseth didn’t have a lot of experience,” added Bacon, who also chairs the subcommittee on cyber issues. “I like him on Fox. But does he have the experience to lead one of the largest organizations in the world? That’s a concern.”
Critics say Hegseth “lacks the credibility and experience required” to lead a massive entity as the Department of Defense,” and that his confirmation as secretary of defense “is a pick for loyalty over competence.”
Hegseth served as an Army National Guard officer from 2002 to 2021, with combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, but he has no record of managing a body even a fraction of the DOD’s scale. His only leadership roles involve heading small nonprofit organizations Vets for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America between 2008 to 2016. Audits revealed both organizations spent more money than they raised under his leadership. And his former Fox News colleagues said that as a part-time weekend host, he frequently showed on set hung over and smelling of alcohol.
Hegseth is also criticized for believing the U.S. need not respect the rules of the Geneva Conventions. He also supported illegal torture techniques and lobbied for impunity for service members accused of war crimes.

Bacon is more nervous about what he perceives as Hegseth’s lack of reliability in preserving military secrets.
“It looks like there’s a meltdown going on,” Bacon said. “There’s a lot — a lot — of smoke coming out of the Pentagon, and I got to believe there’s some fire there somewhere.”
Trump says Hegseth is ‘doing a great job’ despite reports of second Signal chat
So, to decipher convicted felon criminal traitor's words - hegseth is doing a horrible job - basically inept and incompetent - BUT - the filthy little maga cunt is doing what the convicted felon criminal traitor wants him to do - which is suck the convicted felon criminal traitor's cock and swallow the stinky green phlem like spunk.... what a loser....
Donald Trump offered public support for defense secretary Pete Hegseth a day after it emerged that Hegseth had shared information about US strikes in Yemen last month in a second Signal group chat that included family, his personal lawyer and several top Pentagon aides.
“He’s doing a great job. Ask the Houthis how he’s doing,” Trump said dismissively, referring to the rebel group in Yemen targeted by those missile strikes, on the sidelines of the White House Easter egg roll event on Monday.
Hegseth was revealed to have shared, in a series of messages, plans about US strikes against the Houthis on 15 March before they happened in the Signal group chat that included his wife, his brother and a number of his top military aides.

The details that Hegseth sent in were essentially the same information that he shared in a separate Signal group chat earlier this year that mistakenly included the editor of the Atlantic in addition to JD Vance and other top Trump officials, a person directly familiar with the messages said.
But pressure on Hegseth has so far come from people outside of the White House. Trump called the defense secretary on Sunday after the story broke and aides concluded that it had been leaked to the news media by a former Hegseth aide who was in the group chat but abruptly fired last week.

Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth on second Signal chat leak
Trump has resisted firing top officials in his second term, not wanting to be seen as caving to a media swarm even if he has been unhappy with the negative coverage. Trump also stuck by his national security adviser, Mike Waltz, who had added the editor of the Atlantic to the first chat.
According to a person familiar with the call, Trump told Hegseth that he had his support and that disgruntled leakers were to blame for the story, which was first reported by the New York Times.
Trump also told his team to back Hegseth in public, and senior Trump aides repeated their defense line that none of the information shared in either of the group chats were classified, although the accusations have centered on why it was shared with Hegseth’s wife, for instance, since she is not a Pentagon official.

The defense secretary himself appeared furious when asked about the second Signal chat during the White House Easter egg roll event on the South Lawn, telling reporters that the story was a “hit piece” that repeated his defense that it had been pushed by “disgruntled former employees”.
But Hegseth faced growing pressure to resign after John Ullyot, his former spokesperson, wrote in an extraordinary opinion essay in Politico on Sunday that the Pentagon was “in disarray under Hegseth’s leadership”.
Republican congressman Don Bacon, who sits on the House armed services committee, did not explicitly call for Hegseth’s resignation but suggested he would not keep Hegseth in place were he was the president.
“I had concerns from the get-go because Pete Hegseth didn’t have a lot of experience,” said Bacon, a former air force general. “I’m not in the White House and I’m not going to tell the White House how to manage this … but I find it unacceptable and I wouldn’t tolerate it if I was in charge.”
None of which I’ll ever see. It’s good to have him set to Ignore.
because he'll never 'read' them. Too funny you stupid filthy little fucking cunt. You've been the victim of the ULTIMATE BITCH SLAP
