What the fuck has this guy been DOING for months? Jesus fuck, these are not tricky questions.
He was nominated to wreck the place and fill it with loyalists. Not because he’s qualified to run it.
They complain about DEI hire yet here is a guy who has zero qualifications being given a job because he shmoozed up to the next leader.
Unqualified isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. The more chaos this administration can create, the less anyone will notice our country being fleeced by the oligarchs.
Trump and those controling him don’t care about competency. Loyalty and obedience over all.
Cut the guy some some slack .. geeze. Dude probably rolled into the meeting straight off an 80s rockstar type of bender. At least let the cocaine kick fully in before you judge him
He reminds me of GOP idiot Rick Perry, who planned to shut down agencies he couldn’t even remember, *”It’s three agencies of government when I get there that are gone – Commerce, Education and the um, what’s the third one there? Let’s see. Oh five – Commerce, Education and the um, um”*
Doesn’t matter. Confirmation incoming.
I hate this country.
Most of us knew that 99% of Trump’s cabinet wouldn’t be qualified. But that sweet, tasty racism and sexism was too good to pass up.
The majority of White people who voted: 60% Wt Males/ 53% Wt females, voted for Trump.
The one any only qualification that matters is that he’s loyal to Trump and will do as he’s told.
That’s it.
That’s why he qualifies for the position.
The lesson Trump learned from his first term was that putting actual qualified people in place means they will tell him “No” when he asks them to do something stupid, illegal, stupidly illegal or illegally stupid.
He doesn’t want that to happen this time. He’ll give the orders he gives, and everything will magically work out for the best and if it doesn’t he’ll blame the people who are trying to fix the mess.
and you have a Horrible Person, the Terrible Senator From Illinois, Tammy Duckworth, and she has no clue, no clue, she’d never be able to be our Great Secretary Of Defense, no, she has no idea, I would never appoint somebody as terrible as she is, and they say to me, “but Sir, she’s a War Hero,” no no, I like people that don’t get shot down ok, she’s not a Hero that’s all I’m saying, she’s no Hero, but Pete Hegseth, he has a bunch of Stars, he’s got the other things, these Amazing Medals, I said you put this guy in a Military Suit and he can Defend Like Nobody’s Business, and the Radical Left is only saying bad things because it’s Trump, because I Nominate, they hate it, they say, “he’s not picking good,” but it’s because I’m not picking Radical Left, we never pick Radical Left, thank you
This is that unqualified DEI hire they keep talking about.
Elizabeth Warren mopped the floor with him! He could not offer up a decent explanation for why he suddenly wasn’t sexist. She seemed absolutely pissed & disgusted with him. People actually voted for this new administration.
In guessing NATO is one?
He’s sitting there with that smug fuckin look on his face because he knows those shitheel republicans will fall in line and vote for him.
Seriously I hate the guy, but how you not spend a couple hours hitting the books? Shit, Google “top 100 things a sec def needs to know” and give it a once over? Is this all performative? Even hung over as fuck in school I’d check our Amy’s notes real quick before a test. Wtf?
You’d think given the number of questions he was asked he’d stumble into the correct answer at some point, yet his achievement of performing so poorly is a statistical improbability.
He is so unqualified it begs belief.
Get him Tammy D !!!
Yall think this guy isn’t getting through when they confirmed Kavanaugh?
Coming from a military family this pisses me off so much. I have dead veteran relatives and live ones that genuinely cared/care about this country and this fuck is going to be in charge. This is shameful.
I am stoked about how much this is putting Tammy Duckworth, who is amazing and an actual hero, into the public eye.
Amazing grilling

Dude showed up to the quiz of quizzes and didn’t even bother to pretend to study.
All I’m seeing is post after post of embarrassing answers/responses to questions. yet he’ll get the nomination.
has there ever been an instance where someone DIDN’T end up getting the position after one of these hearings?
Love Tammy. She’s a badass.
She’s what I want from all of my politicians. They know things,they have pride in their experience.
This is a guy that will nuke Djibouti because he can’t pronounce it. Unless there’s tequila and questionable conduct. He don’t want a background check because of Gaetz. Birds of a feather and all. I hope all the rednecks get exactly what they voted for…
Get him Lieutenant Colonel Duckworth!!!! Get that sexist, white supremacist!!
This guy is a fucking disgrace, but apparently being unqualified for a high level position doesn’t fucking matter anymore. This country is a fucking joke…I hope he gets bounced out, but that is asking a lot these days.
Well sadly for us the only qualification required is blind unyielding loyalty to the orange führer
It’s kinda funny how much this is coming up, this guy not being qualified. Like, it was never in question? lmao just like every single person orangeman has put in charge, there is ZERO merit for any of them. It’s just really weird and uncomfortable how this is something that is news. But then again the last five months of America have been a fucking satire of a black mirror episode made by high school AV students.
As someone who is currently job hunting and preps for hours in anticipation of just a phone screening this makes me physically ill.
This guy…. It’s like no one wants to work anymore. Just expects this to be handed to him. Kids these days.
Edit: oh yeah, and he’s an unqualified abuser. I feel like I need to edit my resume or not be so hard on myself.
Is this guy a DEI hire? I don’t get it.
So unfair of her to ask him such a hard gotcha question
Jesus Christ we are fucked
How can he be this unprepared when he’s had like 2 months to prep for this? Unreal. Hes uninformed and lazy
What are the three international security agreements?
Jesus, Putin really got his moneys worth with these chucklefucks. UK isn’t far behind unfortunately, it’s disgusting how easy it has been for the right wing to gain ground again barely a hundred years after it shown why it’s fucked!
I don’t know the answer either, but I don’t want to run the fucking country.
My Senator, God love her!
That he can’t be bothered to memorize the answers to predictable basic questions, tells you everything you need to know.
I mean, for a Republican, being completely clueless is a good thing! No messy thinking to get in the way of following questionable orders.
