  1. Fxxking irresponsible prick and endanger national security

  2. Pretty typical of the "Honest" Joe Biden Administration … they will finally tell you the truth, every time they get caught doing something wrong …

  3. This is insane! With 2 wars going on and China just itching to take Taiwan nobody thought it would be a good idea to tell the President that his TOP military advisor had a surgery (elective or not) and then put in the ICU??!! The secretaries second in command was on vacation in Puerto Rico and didn't even know about it. The secretary can issue orders directly to the combatant commands if strikes are needed (he has more power than the Vice President) but people are being told that Cabinet Members "generally" try and tell the White House if they are not able to do their duties……are you kidding? If any senior staff especially those in line of presidential succession can not preform their duties they had better tell the President!!! By the way, Secretary of Defense is number 6 in line to be President if anything happens. This was a HUGE national security breakdown and the secretary should resign over his total lack of leadership and responsibility.

  4. Oh my, he didn’t tell the Presidenr? “Extraordinary breach of protocol!” What a crock of Bullsht. Drama, we need more drama! Clickbait news bulsht

  5. bfd: theres no need to know where he is. you know why.

  6. secretary is not a president, he has no finger on the nuclear weapons, he's merely a secretary that takes DICtation from hunter biden, just an advisor, not some one who gives orders from the top.

  7. Hundreds of thousands dead because of fentanyl and Other Drugs millions of illegals coming in the southern border and the News wants to make a big deal out of this man going to the hospital he's not even protecting us on the southern border what a joke

  8. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was allegedly killed in Kiev on January 3, when Russian cruise missiles bombed a command bunker where Austin and Lt. Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, commander in chief of the Ukrainian military, met secretly to discuss the preparation of an asymmetric offensive to "bring Vladimir Putin to his knees", claims a Russian FSB. source…Austin and a group of top Ukrainian commanders were hiding in what they thought was a secure military command center 20 feet beneath the streets of the Pecheskry district

  9. The only thing we can be sure of is that whatever the ABC is telling us is a lie – as they always lie. So begs the question what really happened to him and where is he now?

  10. Well, fire him! Apparently we don't need him since he wasn't missed. Waste of tax payers money.

  11. WTF anybody else FIRED

  12. So, everyone else was on vacation, but they want to jump all over him about being in the hospital? That's just a little screwy.

  13. lmao As if Biden knows anything about transparency!

  14. So they all were on vacations ! Lol😅 I guess Batman was in charge !!

  15. He's just as irresponsible as this whole administration.

  16. Vaginoplasty is no minor elective "procedure".

  17. His mental health could not handle all the wars going on. I will not be surprised if he resigne.

  18. Is the American public OK with this? This guy needs to be fired immediately and anybody else that knew. And where the hell is the president, isn’t he the commander and chief? Sleeping on vacation yet again security of defense is out of commission, our borders being invaded, and our president seems to be on endless vacations. Anybody worried??????

  19. A dozen doughnuts says he's got some kind of inoperable Cancer.

  20. Get him another covid booster.

  21. Does this clown not know that he’s in the succession to the Presidency??? Another example of BiDumb cabinet incompetence, these clowns need to be impeached or removed immediately if not sooner!!!

  22. Come on everybody we all know Austin is just the face for DEI not the person who's actually doing the job ask Kamala

  23. I hope his sex change surgery was a success.

  24. You literally could have told Biden and he would have relayed the message to Biden. 😅

  25. That is his business not yours.

  26. Biden’s administration have NO respect for Biden. Impeach biden and his Administration!

  27. Impeach him… too many of the Biden administration are inept

  28. Fox News stop lying to millions of Americans. The truth is most voters like me, don’t want what the Republicans are offering! 70% of their voters want an alternative to Donald Trump! Voters don’t want the Mega agenda! Women want their rights reversed! People aren’t into the woke agenda not even Republicans voters. The unfortunate truth is the Republican Party is led by fruitcakes like Marjorie, Matt, and Mitch, and driven by defending corporate greed, billionaires, and toxic special interest groups, that own the right wing legislators lock stock and barrel! Criminal billionaires spend their money corrupting our Supreme Court justices and keep us polarized so we can’t vote for change to help ourselves! As Americans, we need to pull together and vote together for our own good ! Rich billionaires like things the way that they are! they’re raking in billions of dollars, while the 99% of us are paying double the price for household items, and four dollars at the gas pumps while corporations and Big oil are making record profits! We need to change some laws, so the wealthy pay their fair share and taxes! We need to enforce laws, so big corporations start paying taxes! We need to change laws, so the 99% of us can make decent wages and start Rebuilding the middle class again! Thanks for listening! Fox News Stop lying to Americans!

  29. Biden, who is Lloyd Austin 🤔

  30. Biden isn't 🇺🇸 president. He is not mentally aware.

  31. Elective surgery, is he transitioning?

  32. How the hell does he schedule an elective procedure and have his second in command be on leave at the same time? Dereliction of duty, he should be court martialled.
    This administration is beyond a joke.

  33. So they mad he was dying 💀

  34. What? Me worry? We are so screwed !

  35. Nah he is in the protected class like KJP and Harris and the Botty from Indiana

  36. Come on guys. Give him a break. You know he's (D)ifferent.

  37. At least he is a man so he can get the care he needs.

  38. I'm sure Austin has bounced people out of the military for the exact same thing!

  39. That proves the defense secretary is deadwood job who is he secretary to? That guy should get rid of him. He walked off the job plain and simple.

  40. What do you expect out of a corrupt and incompetent administration ?

  41. After his transition has healed Lloyd will be replacing Whoopi on the View!
