The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.
This comes as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth continues to find himself mired in controversy. NPR has also confirmed with the same official that Hegseth shared details ahead of last month’s Yemen strikes with his wife and brother in a Signal chat on his personal phone, minutes after being updated by a senior U.S. military official. The news of the second Signal group chat about the mission was first reported by The New York Times.
In March, Hegseth shared details about action against Houthi targets in Yemen in a Signal chat with top White House officials that accidentally included a journalist.
So will this guy just end up back on Fox News?
Yep. He’ll also constantly bring up the fact that he was sec def
You mean like Lawrence O’Donnell and his time with Daniel Patrick Moynihan? Did you know Lawrence O’Donnell served as an aid to Daniel Patrick Moynihan? Did he mention today that he worked for Daniel Patrick Moynihan?
For almost 5 whole months!
How many Scaramuccis does that come out to?
There are 11 days in a ‘mooch’. So almost 13.
Though it only feels like 5 months… it’s barely been 3 :(
At least the Mooch realized the error of his ways…
Last time I checked. No time for these people.
That and the lucrative after dinner speeches for rooms full of wealthy white men.
Hahaha fuck outta here you drunk fuck you
NPR exclusive. Chef’s kiss
But somehow they can’t find a single dead palestinian.
There is a wonderful schadenfreude to NPR breaking this! We should all go donate money in Pete’s name!
There is no need for a defence secretary, trim the fat. - DOGE
I’m sure Putin has someone we can outsource the work to instead of directly hiring one of his people.
Fuck off, Elon
It is Felon not Elon. Stop hurting my feeling, if not I will cry and whine on Xitter to try and send you on a guilt trip.
At least I saw the humor in your comment heheh.
Oh I think SpaceNoodle saw the humor as well. They just leaned into it with a sharp edge.
I figured my comment would work either way
Indeed
Ok… But do I actually want someone competent organizing a global genocide?
Same results either way sadly.
My only concern is will they find somebody worse?
How much lower can you go than an unqualified drunken Fox News host? What baffles me is this man was approved by Congress. Anyone who OK’ed this turd is also unqualified!
Alex Jones or Joe Rogan
They can’t do that job and make their podcast money. No way they drop their cash cow for a couple of years behind the Fanta Facist.
Hulk Hogan?
If you’re not aware:

Hulk Hogan says Trump floated idea for how he could serve in administration
That would be perfectly in line with the prophecy.
Btw, did anyone keep tabs on our frozen guy?
The last thing we need is Disney to be unfrozen. Keep him underneath the castle.
Oh please god no, brother!
Never assume Trump can’t go lower.
He may go for DeSantia, who would be a more effective person to purge the Defense Department.
“Hold my beer.”
It’s all been drank by Hegseth and Kavanaugh though
I hear Zapp Brannagin is available
The dominoes will fall like a house of cards.
Checkmate.
I’ll do it.
Mind you, I don’t have a severe drinking problem or white supremacist tattoos. I think that I could still do an okayish job.
Only person that could be worse, Ted Nugent?

I’m kinda surprised we haven’t had more people ejected from this administration yet. 2016 had lots. Never knew who was ‘getting voted out of the Whitehouse this week’.
He started with ultra loyalists this time. More yes men, less to kick out.
Because before he was kicking out people who, while he might have ‘picked them’, weren’t really ‘his people’ and they stood up to him. Now he has sycophants who suck his orange hole and his only reason to get of them would be when there’s too much pressure and he’s forced to admit he was wrong for picking them.
Two VERY different sets of circumstances.
suck his orange hole
😳
I’ll admit when he was reelected I assumed it would’ve just been more like 2016 where we got a rotating cabinet and nothing really accomplished side from taking credit on stuff the Dems set up. He’s far more focused now. Granted I’m not American so likely there’s domestic stuff and signs I missed. He only had a few spats with my PM but this time around he’s had a whole war. And we haven’t hit the 100 day mark.
yeah, i had a sense it would get like this, “they learned their lessons; there’s no more adults in the room; they are vengeful” but I won’t pretend I truly appreciated the full scope of the damage that would be attempted, no less accomplished. And as you said, not even 100 days. I have a lot of friends and colleagues who’s jobs have been impacted. Which also means I have some depressing insights into the impacts at some of the agency’s that will inevitably impact the services they provide. It ain’t gonna be pretty if there isn’t a “fix it” phase that follows the current “break things” phase.
Nobody saw Elon coming in to exfiltrate data and rampage agencies the way he did. The tariff shit and destruction of the economy otherwise is pretty in line with expectations.
For sure I can agree didn’t see musk coming. But I for sure saw them doing all the project 2025 things they said they weren’t going to do. You know how I knew they were lying? 🤦
He made it 7.8 mooches, so that’s not a bad run, by Trumpworld standards.
Even though it feels like its been an eternity already, trump has only been in office 87 days.
That’s because he didn’t have unlimited power from the SCOTUS yet
Lmao why. He fits right in
You can be an incompetent drunk so long as you don’t screw things up for your puppet master, israel.
Let’s see how much worse they can do.
What do you think? Defense Secretary Kevin Sorbo?
Alex Jones
TBH even Alex Jones is a step up. Hegseth is a guy who can’t even pretend to be against the idea of racial cleansing. Some of his takes on Israel-Palestine are outlandish to even the Israelis.
Kid Rock. He’s cowboy, baby.
Joe Rogen
Aldrich Ames
Defense Secretary Ritchie. As in SecDef Kid Rock
Kanye’s phone is probably ringing right now
Andrew Tate
Greene
How many mooches?
“Powerful start”
