The new Acting Secretary of Defense stumbles into the Pentagon

[DesertRat]

Why would he take his mask off as he's entering the building?

1. Because he thought the cameras couldn't see him anymore. nt

2. It would make more sense to be putting on your mask

when you enter the building and not taking it off.

[DesertRat]

3. Exactly n/t

[CurtEastPoint]

5. What a fucking dumbass.

[NBachers]

4. Why O Why would somebody say "Yes" to that job at this time?

[exboyfil]

6. That is the $64,000 question

What is he willing to do that Esper wasn't willing to do.

7. The stumble kind of explains it.

Taking his mask off gives a hint.

16. Grift

Probably plenty of money to steal even if there for just a month or two.

8. Mask off going inside--he's already violating DOD policy.

9. Illegitimate lickspittle.

Our military should ignore this guy.

[BusyBeingBest]

10. Unfortunately they can't. They can marginalize him and make

his life difficult there, but they can't refuse legal orders from him.

11. Slow walk until January.

But really Congress should disqualify him (I know, more wishful thinking)

12. You are right - Civilian control of the military is a bedrock

foundation. That goes away and we are no longer a representative democracy. I made that point earlier when someone posted that the military should remove Trump if necessary. If that happens, then this country is gone, and we better figure out what the next country is going to look like.

17. If Trump NEEDS to be removed by the military, then this country is already gone.

[Doodley]

13. We've got a buffoon plus Trump defending America, God help us.

[Vinca]

14. Considerate he checked his fly first.

[DesertRat]

18. I didn't notice that the first time

[FakeNoose]

15. He didn't know about the steps

... it's his first time entering the building. Yeah this guy will be great.
