Bon voyage Pete Hegseth!

Here’s the thing. Everything is connected. The earth’s grasslands, our rocks, minerals, cool and damp clay and mud, all of it connects, and goes together. Likewise, all 50 states are connected, reach out from one state, and you can often see and touch another. This deep connection is what makes the wheels is what keeps the wheels sharpened and whirling; connection, filled with hard work and confidence, keeps the country running.

And it’s like that with the people who run our most important institutions. But there is one piece in all this that does not fit: Pete Hegseth. I do not intend to be cruel in this article, but I think it’s plain as daylight that Pete Hegseth cannot do the job he was given. To put it bluntly, he is incompetent. This word — incompetent — does not pertain to his whole humanhood; for example, if I were chosen to run a chemistry department, I would be incompetent because I know nothing about chemistry.

Pete was perhaps the least qualified of anyone in this administration to be confirmed. Now that the news has broken about signal-gate number two: that he shared sensitive information in the signal chat with his brother and his wife about attack plans in Yemen, it is more than apparent that he has to go.

If he does not go, he’s putting a lot of people in danger. That’s what I mean about connections. The people in these highest offices must be connected to the jobs they do, and those they offer management to. Hegseth, to put it bluntly, does not know what he’s doing.

He’s like a microscopic single-celled amoeba, and the only thing that attaches to him is incompetence; he’s ill-equipped for his job. A single, solitary figure lost in a massive blizzard of shockingly, stupid, amazingly, and brutally dumb mistakes.

Pete Hegseth cannot learn this job, or at least cannot learn it t quickly enough to be valuable in his position. As it stands now, the Trump administration looks like fools. Republicans are starting to call for him to step down; indeed, anyone with a brain would, and should call for him to step down.
