You're telling me the Fox News guy couldn't cut it? A conundrum indeed.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
Watch, the next nominee will be Sean Hannity
Maybe Hannity, Carlson, Rogan, Portnoy, and Shawn Ryan can viciously vie for the position in an electrified pentagonal arena.
Rogan leaving his podcast for this would be an incredible net positive.
He wouldn't. He'd just discuss the war plans on the podcast!
Sounds like his merit was not merit enough.
What's the conversion of scaramuccis to hegseths?
Assuming he's out and replaced tomorrow (makes the conversion easier), he'd be in position for 88 days.
That's 8 mooches (or 2 Trusses for our friends using the metric system).
- 1 Mooch = 11 Days
- 1 Truss = 44 days (or 4 Mooches)
- 1 Hesgeth = 2 Trusses = 8 Mooches
That nazi being in office for 88 days seems fitting, doesn't it?
Not as fitting as being in office for 0 days, TBH.
1 Hegseth = 1 octomooch
I’m sure it would tickle him to have left after 88 days.
Appreciate the mafs.
LOL "or two Trusses for our friends using the metric system"
I needed a good laugh, thank you
The metric conversion is very useful thank you
When this baby reaches 88 days, you're gonna see some serious shit.

This is amazing 🤩🤩🤩
Kudos, that’s by far the best humorous post I’ve seen on Lemmy so far!

They found someone worse already?
Start to worry if Kid Rock starts cancelling tour dates.
Here comes the pillow man
Imagine replacing your own hand-picked Sectary of Defense after only three months and it's considered a win.
Pretty sure he did this every few months his first term
three months
7.81 Mooches to be exact.
Next do this fuckin guy
Trump has a process??
Concepts of a process!
I heard Aaron Rodgers is looking for something to do...
Or maybe take Brett Farve before his stupid ass tries to run for governor of Wisconsin.
They're both QBs, though. Aren't they a better fit for Secretary of Offense?
Trump: “Does this guy know how to read a defense folks”

Why didn't you link the NPR report?
Hopefully the next appointee knows to keep war crimes secret so nobody has to mention them and we can kill thousands of innocents in Yemen with less details leaking to the press.
I can forgive the murder of everyone in an apartment building, but not being sloppy on opsec!
I was really hoping they'd keep him, rather than replacing him with the next most sycophantic rich boy in line.
We all know they tolerate rank incompetence and have no care for the lives of americans. Keeping hegseth would be saying that much louder, so now it's someone else's turn to endanger our lives.
Remember, losing his job should only be the most minor thing he faces out of all of this.
He should face felonies for leaking classified information and for actively creating non-traceable government records. He should be spending time in solitary for this, based on other prosecutions.
Just like his boss.

I'm honestly surprised they're even worried about optics at this point. They pretty much haven't seemed to care about really anything that's been done or said by team Trump.
Why, because he was too much qualified? Next one is going to discuss war plans in a public irc channel
Irc is to technical for them. It'll be on nazitter
Fuckin LOL, next guy will be even worse.
Ah. Finally a fictional Marvel character will become part of the predisent's cabinet.
Probably Wilson Fisk or Lex Luthor, although on second thought, they may be too competent for this administration.
Oh definitely.
Good, but mainly because the opposition can now focus on the more heinous crimes of this administration.
