Hoping one day he’s in a position to appoint someone else SecDef, but he’d also be great for the job as well

I’d be ok with him running for President in 2028, too. But Sec Def makes a lot of sense considering he isn’t a total moron and actually knows what he is doing.

Now, I’ll be the first to tell you I’m sick of governments headed by old white men, but realistically Kelly’s case for a Presidential bid is definitely among the stronger in the field right now. And, let’s be real, the prospect of taking office at 65 doesn’t even qualify as “old” in the context of the last decade-plus.

We “should” have a non-lunatic in that position – but we dont.

He should have been the nominee instead of Harris

I couldn’t agree more!
But this administration would never put someone with honor and character in that role.

And Harris should be president. So what? That’s not reality.
The reality is Magas are in charge and they’re bent on destroying the country.

The money class are going to have to let some adults back into the room sometime soon. The money’s no good when the mall’s on fire.

Maybe in 2028 Newsom will be President and will hire Kelly as Secretary of Defense.

Whiskey Pete is probably just jealous of him because he actually made soemthing of himself in the military unlike Pete

Absolutely NOT. This man hails from the most purple states in this country. He is a pure centrist/moderate as they come…nothing will change aboard with him on board.
STOP PUSHING FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT.

Press and legislators need to do more to call out the role Stephen Miller (and Russ Vought) as puppeteers for this weekend at Bernie’s presidency. If they want to pursue the chain of command for the boat strikes then they need to consider the Hydra’s origins if real change is to occur. Hegseth is culpable but there were already reports that he “does what Miller tells him to do.”

Exclusive: Miller’s homeland security council has played a key part in coordinating operations, sources say

“I think the risks are a little hyperbolic,” he said of the notion sending National Guard units from state to another, even against the will of governors. “There are enough fire breaks in there” to prevent misuse.
Can you imagine how the career military bad asses for decades feel about having that dipshit leading them? Hard to believe they didn’t stand up and tell Hegseth to go eat shit. The FBI, DHS etc too. All of his pathetic loser liars should have been laughed out of town within hours

He might be if Harris were President.
Agree, and one day hopefully he will.

*[Christopher] Miller expressed little enthusiasm for a proposal by former Trump advisor* [*Stephen Miller*](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/inside-trumps-plan-mass-deportations-who-wants-stop-him-2024-11-06/) *to send the National Guard into American cities to help deport people over governor objections.*
“I think the risks are a little hyperbolic,” he said of the notion sending National Guard units from state to another, even against the will of governors. “There are enough fire breaks in there” to prevent misuse.
But he believes that border security is a natural fit for the Guard, which has been [helping](https://www.texastribune.org/2023/05/02/border-troops-biden-title-42/) there [for years](https://www.nationalguard.mil/News/Article-View/Article/572684/national-guard-border-patrol-working-as-a-team/#:~:text=%E2%80%9COur%20primary%20mission%20is%20to,on%20the%20border%20for%20years.). Beyond that, he said individual governors should determine the duties of their state’s Guard units, while the Pentagon trains and equips Guard units to help deter potential foreign adversaries.

Turns out elections matter.
