The Hegseth "incident."

But over all I'd consider him kind of a shitty guy. I'd rather it wasn't so. I'm sure he's going to be a great SoD, so no issues there, it just looks bad and makes him kind of creepy.

She should be held accountable for violating the agreement, whatever that consists of.

Is it possible that there's something in the NDA that she wants kept private?

Yes, and @jolly's concern about his penchant for womanizing is of concern - especially when it comes to such a high position.

If I were President-Elect Trump, I'd jettison him. Too much of a potential liability with no real plus side. I'm sure there are many other more qualified people.

I hear Kamala Harris might be looking for work.

Does she charge by the hour or by the job?

Word is that she was Hegseth's "Handler" for the conference. I have no idea what that means.

Pretty clear case of non consensual sex. She was sober, he was intoxicated.

LOL.

Yeah...what sober woman takes a drunk guy to his hotel room at 2 AM and is "surprised" at what happens?

But, as I alluded above, thought this incident, by itself, is not disqualifying, the pattern of behavior, including the fact that he admitted to this probably is.

Not legally (I believe he did not rape her), but practically.

He is a liability, and that's the last thing President-Elect Trump needs.

Trump has done enough adultery on his own, he doesn’t need even more help from his nominees.

The TDS is strong within this one, it is.

Depending on who Trump picks for Secretary of Concentration Camps, those sorts of posts might be pretty dangerous.

Or just a reminder why I didn’t vote for him. It’s surprisingly simple. I will not tell my kids I voted for someone so morally bankrupt. Ironic, since he loves bankruptcies.
