The funny thing is that he will continue to be celebrated by maga whether he gets the job or not. They’ll always see him as the victim of unhinged Dems who can’t handle a real man. He is a role model. Who cares about being a drunk and abusive piece of shit when you love Donald Trump, right?!
🚨 STILL CONFIRMING 🚨: While Pete Hegseth vows not to drink ‘a drop of alcohol’ if confirmed as SecDef. Instead, insiders say he plans on directing military R&D funds to develop a way to absorb whiskey via tactical skin patches. #WhiskeyWars #SecDefScience
Its as stupid as believing Putin will respect a cease fire when he lied about not having plans to invade Ukraine the day before he did. The cease fire is just there for Trump to give away Ukraine as payment for Russia interfering in the US election on trumps behalf.
@davidpakman.bsky.social I just came up with this. Apparently, the incoming White House (aka the White House Circus) administration 🤔 isn't following DEI requirements but is following DUI requirements. Please feel free to share with your other followers.
and when he gets an inevitable dui or sexually harasses a colleague, it will be covered up and the public will never know. this admin is beyond corrupt. thanks trump voters 🙄 your eggs won’t even be cheaper!
This is why I hate the word "political". Yes, the literal definition is "anything involving politics", but, when people tell you that a criticism is "just political" what they usually mean is "that criticism doesn't count now, so shut up".
I will not judge people with substance abuse issues. But to be confirmed for a cabinet position, you need to have a long, proven track record of sobriety, for example, 30 years minimum.
Donald Trump haunted Studio 54. In Kroger buying my mom groceries in the 70's when I saw 6' TEEN MENSA Model Brooke Shields on cover of a scandal magazine story about BOYS/GIRLS as young as young as 13 sneaking into STUDIO 54 NIGHTCLUB where they immediately became targets of rich sexual predators.
Love it when Republicans/Evangelicals give US moral lectures?Three Evangelical Republicans, Speaker of the House Denny Hastert RAPED BOYS while teaching; Evangelical Republican Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore RAPED GIRLS as young as 14; Boys told Coach Jordan that team Dr. Strauss Masturbated them.
No Chips, No Meetings, No Work, No Amends? Definitely the MAGA Way. He's not even in office and I've dropped 20 pds & aged 20 yrs. I can't do 4 yrs. I hope it's a quick death because America made the biggest mistake in it's relative short history.
But his mum says that was in the past

He's a changed man!
This has all been stirred up by the media... Obviously not by Fox... They actually know him.
They say you can judge a man by the company he keeps...... let's go by that!
I judge by actions, not words.
Let's see how he does. Its not been a brilliant start (talking over a non-secure line about bombing raids as they are about to happen was not brilliant! One guy has gone already because of it).
I have a family member that has issues with substance abuse, they ALWAYS say they’ll get their act together if x,y, and z happen.
It, in fact, doesn’t happen.
What's with the new MAGA phenomena of needing your mother to defend you? Musk & Hegeseth both have their mommies coming out to defend them? Momma's Boys are okay, but gays and trans are apparently a problem?
Speaking as a Canadian, this neighbourhood is really going to shit. And not the "good fences make good neighbours" kinda shit either. More like "damn, next door has turned into a crackhouse" kinda shit.
If he is confirmed what happens when he is sexually abusing his next victim and he gets a call about a problem in the Middle East or an unknown plane entering US Airspace. Will he answer the phone? Just another question I would like a Senator to ask.
Hunter has been in recovery for 5 years. He did it for himself. Because, he was sick, and he needed to get well. So he could be a better person and stop hurting himself and everyone around him. That's how it's done. Not, "I'll stop if" you'll give me one of the most enormous responsibilities ever.
Sad to say that all the GOP Senators defending him will face no blowback now or in the future. The only sin is not being full on MAGA. Ask Jeff Flake...
That's a harmful and unfair personal attack. It's not okay to make assumptions about someone's character or abilities based on unproven allegations. The military deserves a commander with respect and dignity, not one who's been targeted with baseless attacks.
I think that every republican senator should give up one attractive daughter or granddaughter and make them spend a week with All these sexual abusers. See how they feel about them then. I'm sure they'd have nothing to worry about .
Absolutely nuts. The whole populism-esque movement in the west is gaining traction, we need to detect and address the root cause before it’s too late. We seemed to have regressed significantly, with mentally sluggish and immoral far right characters carrying the most influence.
Alcoholics since time immemorial:
If you just __________, I'll stop drinking
-come back to me
-give me one more chance
-make me Defense Secretary (OK, this one I made up)
Honestly, I'll take "barely functional" for this administration. I'd be almost more worried if they were highly motivated and capable. Maybe for the military it could be a slight issue, however...
At this point maybe we should just hope all these picks are far too incompetent to do much harm. If we get actually competent monsters in there they could do more damage than will already be done by having a megalomaniac wannabe dictator for president.
Sex offenders, much like pedophiles, have an unground network of communication. They take care of each other.
Thus, T-Rump is taking care if all his fellow sex offenders & giving them jobs with access to new victims.
I’m fat. Not gonna lie, I like my sweets and am probably addicted to sugar. So if I use the Republican/Hegseth logic and stop eating sweets, I can call myself a beacon of health!?? Yes, no, maybe so!? 😂
I grew up with a couple of alcoholic tios, we never put them in charge of any family activities because they were not reliable or consistent, I love them but you don’t give responsibilities to ppl who can not manage their addictions
Did he pinky swear? And if he did, did anyone check to make sure he didn’t cross his fingers? It’s almost like he thinks making this promise will undo all his previous damage.
Watching America from Australia, there really is only one word to describe what I’m seeing. Shitshow. That’s it, shitshow. Wishing you guys all the best 🤞🏻
GOP said Ketanji Brown Jackson was unqualified. Yet, Trump nominated the worst of the worst. Nevermind they aren't qualified, they might literally be the worst possible picks.
Sometimes I just have to take the deepest breath, exhale incredibly slowly and let the stupidity that is Trump... And his supporters, be dusted off my shoulders and given back to those chain smoking ferret looking hooligans
the fact that this guy hasn't bowed out it makes me nervous for what they have planned. They must not have a deep bench of clowns that will go along with this circus they have in store for us.
Remember when they told us the military was too woke to fight Russia? Then the Russian shock & awe turned to sputter & stall, their Navy lost a naval war to a country with no navy, and the nominee for Sec Def needs his mom to lobby Congress on his behalf?
In 1989, John Tower promised to stop drinking hard liquor if he was confirmed as HW Bush’s Defense Secretary, and only imbibe beer and wine. It was essentially a confession of alcoholism. Tower was rejected by the Senate.
Sure that's how addictive abusive personalities work is put them in a position of power where they can possible carry their addition and abuse to all new heights amirite?
This is the America that so called patriots voted for. Trump loves the uneducated. Now he wants to keep them dumb, and knocked up. Might as well hand the country over to Russia.

Somehow Pete's behavior is ok with them.

Thank you, David. 🙏🏾
drunk rapist.
We should trust mommy and give him a chance.
A preview of what his briefings will look like. Identical outfit and all.
Nothing.
Crush him for policy, beliefs, sex abuse.

He will not, however, stop being unqualified.

How hard can it be?
America has a long storied history of a clean and sober government.
I’m sure it’ll be fiiiiiine.
Mmm, I don’t like where this is going. I am also teetotal.
I agree with you!
I also am teetotal. I also dislike where this is going. I know about someone else in authority who is supposedly also teetotal.
The Churchill story is just a 🫣 for discussion.
At least we are not drug addicts!
“Who said that?”
“YOUR MOM.”
If you just __________, I'll stop drinking

"Quitting starts tomorrow" is one of the best ways to not quit

- Leopard
if only Bill Wilson had thought of becoming the Secretary of Defense
Here in the UK, we are jealous/relieved depending on whether we voted Reform or not back in July.
Most Trump nominees check all those boxes.
I'll take woke any day of the week.
