Yeah he really isnt.

The facts say otherwise.

They want war. Pete doesn’t.

We aren’t at war.

And again if they had control of him as a figurehead why bother with this?

I’m not saying Trump controls the Pentagon yet.

I’m just saying they don’t have Pete boxed up and are terrified of what will happen if Trump wins the tariff wars and turns his angry focus across the Potomac with DOGE to clean house. Half the pentagon senior brass would be facing charges for fraud if the auditors ever got loose there and another quarter would be gone for being Biden/Obama political operators.

Many sec def appointees didn’t command a division, get out of here with that.

The whole reason Trump wants him is that he wasn’t captured by the pentagon brass chasing promotions like everyone else around there.

You seem to be under the delusion that the Pentagon gets to choose the SecDef, but as we aren’t living under a military junta that’s not the case.

Perhaps you’re thinking of qualifications for chairman of the joint chiefs?

quote:

He also has no business background

---

What does a business background have as a pre-requisite? None of the guys who were sec def from the military pathway had business backgrounds.

This is nonsense and nowhere does it require the chief executive to select SecDef based on the completely fabricated criteria you established.

*was* is the key differentiator. Again you are making things up.

The DoD had a plan for Pete, dump the enormity of the Sec Def job and responsibilities directly on his head day 1. It worked. The uniformed personnel at the Pentagon run the show, Pete is in charge of DEI stuff.

---

If their plan was working they wouldn’t be sending human waves of MIC pawns at him daily.

He’s messing with their horrible and corrupt procurement process (kickbacks), their internal politics (DEI/hierarchy) and their forever war agenda (Iran, Ukraine, etc) so they want him gone, simple as that.

If you look at it logically it’s an antitrust issue.

Women in effect have a cartel in which they control the supply of a product in high demand and they don’t want to compete in a fair market situation so they oppose it for moral reasons.

Hurts fired his agent awhile back for liking a pro-Trump post, that’s how TDS he is.

Derion Reid is a pretty prototypical “athlete with upside” type 5* PF.

Has an NBA lottery ceiling, but isnt really polished in many facets of the game.

The coaches seemed to like him as he was getting lots of developmental minutes when he was healthy, but he went from young & untested to trying to ease back in as a guy who was still very raw on a team trying to make another F4 run so he just never had a major impact at Bama.

He 100% has NBA upside, it’ll all depend on how his game develops. He just doesn’t have an elite shot or anything I saw that he could completely lean on yet but he’s a great get for OU and someone I’m sure the coaches wanted back at Bama.

If this is done in Wisconsin, I suspect that it is being done in other states as well.

Put me down for MI, WI, AZ, GA and NV.

I’m suspicious of CO but haven’t looked at their situation as closely, but MI, AZ and GA are so obvious it’s laughable.

MI had people registered to vote born just after the civil war in 2020.

Biden had been cognitively compromised since at least the 2020 campaign and had occasional bouts of clarity.

Only due to covid could they get away with hiding him in the basement, he was 80% gone before he ever took the oath.

The public events he was obviously high on a cocktail of drugs to make him lucid and had to be given days afterwards to recover.

It’s a psychological problem.

Once someone internalizes something as part of their core self whether a football team, a religion or a political party any sort of attack on its doctrines isn’t an attack on it is viewed as a personal attack on them.

It’s not exclusive to the left either as we saw during the primaries but it’s more common with extreme leftists and it’s why when confronted with an argument they can’t refute with facts they almost invariably resort to angry screaming: their system when faced with cognitive dissonance either has to acknowledge there is a flaw in their core self or attack the thing that’s making them feel that way which is usually an easy choice.

Oh he tried. Nobody of significance wanted him. His camp knew he wasn’t going as a top draft pick and so they shopped for another lucrative NiL deal which didn’t happen.

Was there any truth to the rumors that had Quinn Ewers trying to come to Tuscaloosa prior to declaring?

Bongino used to say it’s about hierarchy and I think he was 100% correct.
