Either way, it’ll be amusing if he ends up firing the people that fired him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk He was my 38 IP a couple times when he was a FAIP. Phenomenal dude, recommend his book if you get a chance.

disgruntledemployee Posted November 30 Author Posted November 30 (edited) Looks like Hesgreth's mom sent an angry e-mail to him years ago and the media got a hold of it, apparently from someone on the ex-wife's side. Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Edited November 30 by disgruntledemployee Jerry!

Sua Sponte Posted December 4 Posted December 4 Hegseth may be out as SECDEF, replaced by DeSantis. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-considering-replacing-hegseth-with-desantis-defense-secretary-sources/ 2
VigilanteNav Posted December 6 Posted December 6 Hegseth dropping out in 5,4,3,2.... Got to say, DeSantis a way, way, way better choice on the whole. He'll sail through the Senate confirmation process as a non event. Has actually run a large organization. Has been in the House so knows that everything the DOD needs to get better on actually needs to get legislated through the House. Decent cultural warrior for those that care about that stuff...but, knows when to say when...(ie...his backing off on the war on Disney). The downside for the USAF perspective is that being a Navy guy one can assume he's not going to push for any big changes to get the USAF the more funding (relative to the Army and Navy) that it surely needs to modernize quicker than the status quo. That's the real concern for the USAF that the likes of Deptula, etc have been preaching (not whether or not we can or can't have beards). 1

I'm not sure who's a candidate, however.
Lord Ratner Posted December 6 Posted December 6 Y'all sound like the board of every major corporation in America today looking for a CEO. We want someone who's really going to shake things up, take this company out of its rut and into the future as the leader in our field! Ooh, that guy, no he's a little bit too controversial for us. Besides we want someone with more experience in this type of company. Let's go with established-safe-guy-in-a-suit. Fast forward a couple years I don't understand, why is our company still stuck unable to innovate or change direction? 5 5

Shawn Ryan for Vet Affairs, Mike Rowe for Labor, Joe Rogan as Press Secretary (every briefing obviously labelled 'Explicit'), Ray Dalio to advise on China, Peter Ziehan to advise on econ and to fight with Dalio, and leave the rest as insider experts.

Agreed. And let's stop calling people experts. If a given field has knowledge sufficient to require expertise, then it has a title that already conveys expertise: doctor, counselor, captain, engineer, etc. That word has caused an awful lot of mischief over the past decade. Time to retire it. Edited December 7 by Lord Ratner 2

disgruntledemployee Posted December 11 Author Posted December 11 Investigative Journalist recap of decades long look into Tulsi, her "cult", it's suspected money laundering and other antics, and retribution against their critics ala Scientology methods.

BashiChuni Posted December 11 Posted December 11 LOL "MONEY LAUNDERING" meanwhile the biden crime family is money laundering worldwide all at the direction of "the big guy" you can't make this stuff up. 1 2

Maybe they should have just turned down the job, since they didn't agree with the policy objectives of the duly elected president. There's no way to be "the resistance" against Trump's agenda without also being the resistance against the American populace that elected him. They are pretty, wannabe dictators, and it's a relief to see the Trump team change course. If you aren't loyal to Donald Trump, you have no place in the cabinet. There is no constitutional position on Ukraine, the middle east, immigration policy, etc. So no, you aren't defending the Constitution by subverting the president's agenda. You are in fact shitting on it. 1 2 1

Edited December 12 by disgruntledemployee
bfargin Posted December 12 Posted December 12 I’m def more conservative than she probably is, but she’s not a leftist. I’d probably place Tulsi more as a classical liberal with nuance on a spectrum of topics. Even i am probably not completely predictable on some topics though i am fairly consistent on desiring government to foster an atmosphere conducive to human flourishing putting the traditional family in its proper place as the bedrock of society. That doesn’t mean outlawing other structures but it also doesn’t mean encouraging/celebrating destructive behavior and ideologies. Encourage normal while also allowing for (not encouraging) some of the “abby normal”. 1 2
Smokin Posted December 13 Posted December 13 Based on the fact that she was a Democrat and is now a Republican, she is likely fairly centrist unless she had a massive swing in her beliefs or is a slimy politician (redundant?) that saw an advantage by switching sides and went full tilt right. Saying that she is a D wearing R's clothing is not very enlightening considering how far many Rs (like Trump) are from historical core conservative principles. I'm starting to think that all it takes to be an R in Washington these days is to adopt the D's platform from 10 years ago. 1 1

I wonder what someone closer to the issue thinks. The Hill reporting that her Senator meetings aren't going well. Themes are: unprepared, she's got a lot to learn, nobody likes her. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5038091-tulsi-gabbard-struggles-senators/
