>Paul also said that he received a letter back from the Coast Guard on Tuesday saying that 21% of boarded boats don’t have drugs on them, and he argued that it undercuts the motivation for striking the boats at all. Paul later [posted the full letter](https://x.com/SenRandPaul/status/1995885169832853966?s=20) from the Coast Guard on X.
Incompetent is a given, he might also be lying.
I go with both.
Both qualities were on grand display at his confirmation hearing.
Literally every single Republican senator didn’t give a fuck. All of this is just as much on them as it is on the Trump regime.
Cool, now do literally everyone else still willing to associate themselves with the bloated elderly toddler currently styling himself President.
Yes
[WH already confirmed it](https://thehill.com/homenews/5628447-defense-secretary-authorizes-drug-boat-strike/amp/)
They’ve already admitted he authorized the second strike
Stop with the gaslighting
>Hegseth is either lying about second boat strike or incompetent
Or Evil.
Bernie Moreno. Declares he’s fine with it: „This is wartime“. No it’s not.
Yeah, he’s both lying and incompetent. He is a disgrace and ruining it for service members.
Oh look at these GOP senators trying to grow a spine on a sinking ship. They were more than happy to run around popping Champaign bottles when Trump won the election. Elated at the idea of having full control of the federal government. But as they watch their poll numbers slide faster than Trump’s melting brain, they are trying really hard to pivot into the elected officials they were suppose to be cosplaying for this past year.
The answer is both. He’s lying and incompetent.
Why does it have to be ‘or’?
My question is what happens if a “narco terrorist” reaches U.S. soil. Will Hegseth have the military kill him on U.S. territory?
Two things can be true at once
Why not both? Everything that has come out seems to suggest that.
Lying and incompetent, both can be true and are in this case.
Now , why not both? AND a Drunk
And to think if he and all the other Republicans voted to convict Trump in 2021 and bar him from running again, we would be in a much more boring and stable reality right now.
Hegseth is going to practice this extremely useful phrase, because he’s going to need it a lot over the next few months: „I do not recall.“
Both? Both.
Both can be true. Add massively incompetent and lying sack a shit and it’ll be more accurate.
Both !
It doesn’t really matter what he says or does because Trump can just pardon him. Anyone that commits crimes in his name will simply get pardoned. Actual justice won’t be served until this regime is over and even then, Democrats won’t pursue it for the sake of “unity”.
Both things can be true…
It is preposterous that any military official would not know that attacking and killing captured wounded „enemy troops“ is a serious war crime. This murder is made worse by the fact that there is no war.
It is therefore inconceivable that the Admiral did not ask for directions from above. Hegseth and Trump as Commander-in-Chief are responsible.
Literally both…
He is a liar and incompetent.
Why not both?
Yeah well let’s see whether they do anything about it. They let him get away with talking about impending military strikes on a fucking signal chat so it’s not like they don’t already know Hegseth is grossly incompetent.
Lying *or* Incompetent? I’m pretty sure both are true.
