    You’re telling me the Fox News guy couldn’t cut it? A conundrum indeed.

        Maybe Hannity, Carlson, Rogan, Portnoy, and Shawn Ryan can viciously vie for the position in an electrified pentagonal arena.

          Rogan leaving his podcast for this would be an incredible net positive.

            I needed 5 names for my pentagon subjoke and those were the only ones I readily remembered. I’ve never watched more than 5 minutes of any pundit, so I’m pretty ignorant on who deserves my ire most.

      Assuming he’s out and replaced tomorrow (makes the conversion easier), he’d be in position for 88 days.

      That’s 8 mooches (or 2 Trusses for our friends using the metric system).

      • 1 Mooch = 11 Days
      • 1 Truss = 44 days (or 4 Mooches)
      • 1 Hesgeth = 2 Trusses = 8 Mooches

    I was really hoping they’d keep him, rather than replacing him with the next most sycophantic rich boy in line.

    We all know they tolerate rank incompetence and have no care for the lives of americans. Keeping hegseth would be saying that much louder, so now it’s someone else’s turn to endanger our lives.

    Remember, losing his job should only be the most minor thing he faces out of all of this.

    He should face felonies for leaking classified information and for actively creating non-traceable government records. He should be spending time in solitary for this, based on other prosecutions.

    Just like his boss.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
