That face says it all. He has the votes no matter what is said, revealed or proven.

He’s in.

Why even bother with the whole charade. *see Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas.

They should concentrate on him being a drunk harrasser with no experience in this kind of job.

Pretty sure it should be the sexual assault allegations, inappropriate drinking and general character problems (alongside inexperience) rather than "culture war" issues. Wtf is happening over there?

One again the Republicans wave the flag of "culture war" to distract from the man's manifest unfitness to serve in the active duty military, let alone be in charge of overseeing the entire organization.

You don't think they'll talk about his drinking? 🍸😵🍸

dwblue.bsky.social•129 days ago

Maybe competency, experience & suitability for the job should come into it?

barryjames.bsky.social•129 days ago

Agreed however in rumps mind all he needs is someone to kiss his arse
Reminds me of 1930s germany

Except in a sense it's the other way round. Hitler was an ideologue wanting revolution. His elite facilitators thought they could control him. Whereas Trump is purely manipulatable ego & it's the facilitators like Musk, Theil, Bannon & many in the GOP who are the ideologues desperate for revolution

His being chill with war crimes should be the only focus and it should be disqualifying.

If Pete Hegseth is confirmed for Secretary of Defense, then we’ll know for certain that we can expect nothing good from a Republican controlled Senate going forward. Watched the “questioning” just long enough to know that I was wasting my time.

He's an unqualified rapist and a misogynistic bigot. He has no business leading a parade.

Confirmation hearings being held for former "Fox News Host" a former reality TV star nominated to run the Pentagon ... American Exceptionalism 🤣😂

Hard for the troops to respect someone in the chain of command who is an alcoholic and rapist especially if it’s the head.

Call it what it is. It's a cult.

I can hear Zaid Tabani shouting "What did I fucking say?!" from here.

He gets what he wants and "he'll stop drinking." Funny because he gets what he wants and I'm getting a bottle of everclear.

“Man to act like bigoted cock donkey in hope of pleasing deranged orange rapist who won’t remember his name beyond reading it on a teleprompter”

Cheers!

Or as the craven oligarchs who govern us might toast, "UP YOUR ASSETS!"

metahead.bsky.social•129 days ago

I'd like to hear about his white supremacist tatoos.

metahead.bsky.social•129 days ago

tRump has a pattern of picking 1.yesmen, 2.privatizers or 3.incompetents for his staff. Hegseth falls under the 1st and 3rd.
