Good 'ol Pete didn't know the Iranians had that many missiles. He's gone by Aug 31.Not only do we have evidence here that Wiles is trying to surface people’s concerns, but the inevitable seems to be happening, too: setting up Hegseth to take the fall. https://t.co/TWKcoDVHZO pic.twitter.com/VYw8ItnzNS

All the leftists say Hegseth because that is who they want gone more than anyone else in the cabinet.
He's been their #1 target since he was nominated.

Answer - whatever appointee is in charge of the next Trump admin failure...or similarly....whatever policy is unpopular.
a) Iran - the drones arent going away. neither is the mining of the Hormuz straight. This coming failure could affect both Hegseth and Tulsi (for the intel "failure".
b) economy - high gases, inflation going back up, economy slowing. This one goes to the Treasury Sec. Bessent and commerce Sec Ludnick.
c) embarrassing personal failings - This one got Noem. Could get Ludnick for Epstein. Anyone associated with Netanyahu and AIPAC.
Trump wont take ownership of the unraveling. He will just fire people somewhat associated with the current problem.

If media were doing its job, they would point out just how much damage Kegseth is doing to the military.
but, you work for CBS...so, journalism ain't happening
Petey is gone by Aug 31

Sorry lib, Hegseth is loved by the rank and file military for brining much needed changes. He's safe as safe can be.

What does that have to do with holding people accountable for failure?
Yes. Its his job to hold people accountable for failure, as is any good executive.

Except they are HIS failures. Not theirs.
Hegseth didn't order the attack on Iran (which I support, in general)....Trump did. Etc
Even Fox News knows the DOD is a disaster under Pete Hegseth. Hegseth's forcing the retirement of the US Army Chief of Staff Randy George is looked upon with disgust. Since George had been nominated by Biden, the move was likely due to Trump's jealousy. pic.twitter.com/1nxqp3AX3P

My buddies and I did this in the first term. The amount of turnover in Trump 45 was crazy high. There were days where we'd get multiple winners.

Yup, forgot that guy. He's doing great and staying out of the news while doing it. Coincidence?
Quote:
From NY Post:
"[Hegseth] is very concerned about being fired and he knows that Driscoll is one of the top contenders, or a natural contender, to succeed him. So what Pete has been doing is taking anyone he perceives to be close with Driscoll and going after them. And this is the latest and most spectacular [example] of that."
Driscoll is a close friend of Vice President JD Vance, with whom he attended Yale Law School after both men served in the Iraq War. His name was floated as a possible Hegseth successor last summer and the Pentagon boss's suspicions deepened last fall when Driscoll served as a Ukraine war negotiator.
"This is not just one of those things where Pete is focused on DEI. That's not what this is about. He keeps going after the Army in particular," the second person said.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell could replace Army Secretary Dan Driscoll if he's fired next, three admin officials told me

Pete Hegseth's own fear of being fired and replaced by Driscoll is driving tension with Army, current and former officials saidhttps://t.co/b1aNUvLuLi
