I was more than willing to give him a chance,
Had you not ever seen Hegseth on Fox Entertainment? Did you not know he worked for Fox?
How could you possibly think that someone who even has a remote connection to, much less an employee and personality of, Fox News, be competent?
It's just mind boggling to me that in the past week or two I've heard Madmick say he was "optimistic" about Trump 2.0, and now you were "willing to give Hegseth a chance".
These are literally some of the most unintelligent, moronic people in show business. And I'm not simply talking about their politics. There are certainly things about conservative ideology that I can appreciate.
But people from Fox News don't even try to make reasonable arguments. Period. Everything simply turns in to a football game where the dems are evil incarnate - mostly by trying to exaggerate and misrepresent - such as 'open borders' - the borders have never been an open free for all and I would argue that it is precisely this messaging that caused the huge migrations to the border - people in South America hear (from the most dominant and prolific news sources in America - right-wing hate porn) that Joe Biden has a policy of 'open borders' so they all flocked to the border thinking they could just walk through. Never in my or your lifetime has there been "open borders". That's absolutely ridiculous.
If you say this isn't true - that these are actually intelligent men and women, then they are putting on an act for Fox, and in a way that makes them even worse.
You can't have it both ways, either they are complete and utter idiots who seem to be unable to process anything other than simplistic good/bad narratives and have no appreciation for detail & nuance, or, they are actually qualified for jobs like "Secretary of Defense" and were simply whoring themselves out to Fox (which means that instead of doing a good job in positions of government, they will simply play the willing puppet of Trump and do as that low-IQ lummox commands, when the implication is they know better, or what's best for the country, but they are unwilling to do so because self-interest is what's best).
Help me understand how it is possible that anyone with an IQ over 90 could be reasonably optimistic that a known substance abuser, and a guy who secretly paid out a settlement to a woman who accused him of rape, should be in control of the most powerful military on earth.
Maybe what needs to happen is, everyone who is huffing in the fumes of Trump, Hegseth, Fox, "open borders', etc., should all be moved to the state of their choice, we can build a huge China wall around this state, and everyone can live in absolute bliss. No immigrants, no doors to get in or out, no trade with anyone else, no unions, no labor or child labor laws, no pesky elections, and everyone can be armed, including 4th graders who can purchase armor piercing ammo for their ARs at 7-11 with their slurpee on their way to school - complete and unabridged 2ndA! It truly sounds like paradise to me!
