Hegseth is the worst

[BNIBoiler]

If you think Biden's DEI policies slowed legacy admissions in colleges, you got it completely back-asswards. It was the Supreme Court’s move to end affirmative action in 2023 that put legacy admissions under pressure. Two worst offenders: Baylor and Notre Dame.

Legacy Admissions Comes Under Fire Again—What You Need To Know

Legacy admission is continuing to face scrutiny. Despite widespread pushback, Ivy League colleges continue to insist on the importance of legacy in the admissions process

I'm glad that they are finally looking into this legacy admission bs. But I want to end this crap totally since they are getting rid of DEI.

Obama Appoints More Friends and Donors to Ambassadorships than Did Bush, Clinton and Even Reagan

For someone who campaigned on the ideal of not succumbing to the politics-as-usual ways of Washington, President Barack Obama has embraced patronage and cronyism with real zeal when it comes to appointing ambassadors. So far, President Obama h...

They were qualified and not a DEI hire right. Obama was above board on his appointees.

As always, this guy puts things into perspective.

The success of the mission isn't relevant........unless you're trying to deflect.

How much other classified info has been passed around among the trump cabinet by signal in the last 60 days? Neither you nor I know.........but there was ZERO conversation that would lead one to believe it was the first.

Never mind. Trying to convince a MAGA zombie of anything other than the admin talking points is useless.

You do know that Signal was approved to be used for White House staff by the Biden administration right?

If Goldgerg is supposed to be this ultra-liberal hack then why would anyone in the Chump administration have Goldberg's phone number, assumingly in their phone's contact. I have a theory, call it a conspiracy theory if you want. But whoever had Goldberg's number, perhaps Waltz or whoever added Goldberg to the text, had his number to leak specific inside information to Goldberg in other matters.

Wow this is actually an insightful take. I think you might actually be right for once. I think that there is an insider that is trying to make the administration look bad and this was one way how. Of course, without the insider inviting the Atlantic reporter, none of us would know anything about this. That Atlantic reporter, BTW, also happens to be the one that came up with the suckers and losers lie.

 

[Boilermaker03]

So you have no problem in the future if we give our adversaries a 2 1/2 hour head's up that we are about to attack them?

This is a big deal. Thank God the mission went well and the Russians chose not to tip the Houthis off. But the f-up was massive even though the consequences did not result in dead US soldiers.

And if you'd like, I can link all of the people and organizations that are in no way Democrat or "far-left news media" that think this was a very big f-up. From Fox News and National Review media, to Republican legislators, to the most experienced national security professionals.

No, actually my issue is that there's someone on the inside willing to give our adversaries a heads up in order to play politics and make the administration look bad. That's the real issue here.

 

[Boilermaker03]

I said it in an earlier thread that someone needs to get canned.

Nobody got canned for the Afghanistan debacle.

Yeah, but ambassadorships to political friends and supporters has been going on for a hundred years, both parties and thousands of examples.

We can definitely agree that it made them look bad.

Really bad.

It's definitely not the real issue. The real issue is the pathetic lack of OpSec. When you deal with classified material you are required to verify the attendees and their need to know. A 1 minute check, and this never happens.

For classified information?

What a complete train wreck:

21. Nothingburger. No harm was cause by the leak. The attack was carried out successfully.

what a perfectly republican response

Thank you.

Not as bad as you're making it out to be.

 

[Boilermaker03]

For classified information?

What classified info? There were no specifics. The messages were generic.

Again, not true. But it has to be for you to be right.

Who decides the level of specificity to warrant classification? You?

The government tends to classify everything. This is a technicality you guys are using for hand wringing. Give me the specifics that were in the messages that made this really bad other than, this was generic "classified" messages.

This is most jacked up and unqualified administrations I’ve seen. Hegseth is an unqualified white man hire.

And these are guys Hegseth brought, guys he worked with before.

Oh well. MAGA says turnover in the first few months of any admin is normal.

Trump loves to leak to the press, but he won't stand for it happening to the people around him.

When a cabinet secretary's top people are leaking derogatory stuff to the New York Times? That's a likely sign that the end is near for that cabinet secretary.

Looks like I am pretty f-ing prophetic. That latest "nothing-burger" likely just got Hegseth's unqualified ass fired:

I will agree you are prophetic when BMW moves its SC plant to Canada so it can sell cars made in Canada to the US.

You didn't knock off the goat to take the Bagram Bob award by being 'prophetic', katBMW.

This is most jacked up and unqualified administrations I’ve seen. Hegseth is an unqualified white man hire.

I have to admit, I have not been including you in the Bagram Bob competition because I recognize you get much of you misinformation and confusion from 'urban' radio - and thus Bob, katBMW and others would not really have a fair chance in competing against you.

I am thinking of changing the policy, but hesitate for now because katBMW would no doubt be crushed after working so hard to dethrone the goat.

None of his incompetence got him fired. He was a good boy, as Joe would say, working on behalf of Big Armaments, to which he has returned.

Joe was brain-dead. He didn't know the difference between incompetence and excellence.

Y’all get your dis-information from Faux News and jacked up right wing radio. The Haitian cat eating bs is the most egregious lie that I ever heard from a national so called news organization like Faux News, right wing radio, congressman, and presidential candidate ticket.

Hey man — gotta give @Riveting credit; he usually sticks with thinly-veiled, passive aggressive racism. But this time he put the whole neo-Nazi, Klansman gear on and dove right in, full honest what he’s really thinking racism!

@Quix0te too! Must be a full moon today because he went full on racist, calling out a decorated military leader for her ethnicity as cause for hating on her. And then he doubled down on whether a female senior officer was attractive or athletic enough to hold her current role.

The only radio I listen to is NPR, as bad as it is. My main news source is a daily subscription to the Wall Street Journal.

I am fully confident the WSJ is vastly superior to anything you hear on 'urban radio', judging from the half-baked comments you make on regular basis.
