No he wasn't, he was asked the most basic stupid question you can come up with. If you don't like what your commander-in-chief tells you to do will you choose not to do it. Talk about a way to lose your job before you even get it. I've hired people in the past and if I ask them in the job interview if they were going to refuse to do what I told them to do and they said yes, why in God's name would I ever hire them. It was a trick question and of course he didn't fall for it. It's very close to asking him if he still beats his wife. Lol


A person with an IQ over 95 could see it was a trick question. Just a step above asking the guy if he had stopped beating his wife. He would not play "gotcha" with them so the TDS crowd goes nuts.

Manhattan was purchased for $24.

For the Louisiana Purchase we paid $11.25 million.

Then later on, we put most of the natives on the reservation.


So the military did and will do again.

We just don't know which land areas.

And if there are any in the way trying to kill soldiers in our military, they'll be put on the reservation too.


No reason to think anything will be different.


Exactly why it's not an "obvious joke" because it obviously was not.

Sadly this is how a large portion of Trump's base thinks, (and some are even more extreme.)

Now, I don't think Trump will actually do it (but who knows,) but what scares me more than his stupidity, is there are millions of people that enthusiastically think that he should.

Trump monme can't handle so-called trick questions but supposed to be able to manage the entire Defensed Department.

Check!!!

The kindest definition of "annexation" is basically forced buying. It's not about purchasing a property put up for sale voluntarily. But then again, it also doesn't necessarily need compensation to be annexation.

Followers of Trump should practice their "Sieg Heil".
Lots of annexations are voluntary, like Texas. Some countries ask to be annexed and get refused, like Mongolia to the USSR.

What is with the "Sieg Heil" nonsense?

Thank god I have him blocked. Some of the random crap he posts (like "Sieg Heil") just boggles my mind. 🤦‍♂️
He reminds me of a "special" fellow I knew about 20 years ago. A group of us would be talking about a subject like, say, football, and this dude would all of a sudden start talking about feeding his dog. It was friggin bizarre man. Then again, what else can you expect from a guy who had to "verify men having sex with trans"? 😂😂

He did handle it. He told the questioner to go screw. His answer said he was not playing their little games on their terms.

Very good qualities in a DoD head.

So, you don't have any standards. As anyone is capable of that.

Warren: You won't work for defense industry for 10 years?

Hegseth: Not something I've thought about

Warren: Every general should wait 10 years, not you?

Hegseth: I'm not a general

The whole room burst out laughing. Check and mate.

His obvious Trump loyalty was evident in the Greenland answer. Trump might as well nominate everyone for Secretary of butt plugs. That's how they'll serve him.

I'll only trust the ones who get fired after a short time.

He met my standard, refused to play left-wing games.

I'll give Hegseth a compliment. Even if all the charges against him are true, he'd still be twice the man that Trump is. Or that Trump could ever hope to be.
