I am trying to convince anyone with a bigger platform on the left to talk to me in order to have a very important discussion about what the right wing,potentially foreign actors are doing on YT.Sadly my success rate is 0,which sucks cause I have a bad feeling after 20th Jan we will not get much help
The answer is not to pose a nonsensical question (which is unreal) to address the tremendous harm. It’s not about shame or comparison. It’s calling it what it is, finding ways to get into their sheltered comm space, problem is no one is able to address them directly.
Of course not. But the maga party is playing a very different game. Part trolling, part destroying government which has been their stated goal since Reagan. With the full support of tens of millions of voters.
Probably not but Democrats would not nominate the worse people. The more vile, violent, racist, and hateful the person the more Republicans stand with them. In America at this moment, if you are Rich, White, Violent, Male, Hateful, Greedy, you are #1. F*** everyone else!
It not about credecials entirely. It never is.
What disturbed me is his use of the word "left" and his political interjections.
Also his continuous praise of Trump.
He expresses loyalty to Trump and his party over the job he is applying for.
It’s a psychological tactic.
Throw a candidate who is horrible and despised out first for rejection, so your actual choice doesn’t seem so bad.
In other words the next nightmare up for selection, as long as he or she isn’t as bad as this one, he might get in.
It’s a trick.
Main Stream Media would have vetted that person so hard that they'd withdraw their name. Fascinating how they seldom give this treatment to GOP nominees. Hell, they'll offer a soft defense for the nomination
Conversely, if they were the most qualified and an upstanding member of society, Republicans would collectively vote against solely because they're a democratic POTUS pick.
Hegseth is as qualified to run the DoD as a Wells Fargo security guard is to run the Federal reserve.
His performance in today's hearing showed he did not bother to prepare himself seriously for the occasion.
His refusal to accept any responsability for his drunken behavior showed he has no morals.
Dems need to ask policy questions about the job. GOP doesn’t care that he’s an alcoholic sexual predator. They are not owning him by outing him as an adulterer. They need to be asking how he might respond if Russia invades Poland, questions like that which are miles over his head.
Stop calling them Republicans. They are not Republicans any more. Jack Kemp, Gerald Ford , Eisenhower , Reagan , the Bush's ' were Republicans. They are the MAGA Fascist party. It's like calling the Confederates the Southern Democratic Party.
No. In fact I use this litmus test for everything. Put the words and actions of one person, for this example Trump, into the hands and mouth of another person, say Biden. Are you still fine with everything that person did and said? Whatever your response is, then that's your answer.
It's clear that the only way to conduct business is bloc style going forward. Should an Independent or Democrat vote with the Republicans, they are removed from the party or ostracized as has been the standard practice of the Republicans.
Republicans block nominees with impeccable qualifications. It's about time the Democrats become the OPPOSING party. NOT one vote for ANY of these fascist nominations.
As Charlie Brown would say? Good grief. If this dude gets confirmed he's going to get ran over and no one is going to have any respect for him. Telling other world military leaders that we are America and thumping your chest chest isn't going to cut it.
For these MAGAts it’s not about qualifications it’s about going back to the days when white men were first to get picked whether qualified or not, which is why we have an unfit guy stepping into office on 1/20/2025.
Depends on how much they were paid and/or how much they stand to make on whatever stocks they hold. Nothing about the nominee’s credentials matters as much as what they stand to gain (or keep secret if their motivation isn’t money).
That’s a hypothetical that would never happen on our side. That’s because we’re woke and anyone nominated would have the requisite qualifications to be considered.
No, and they would vociferously complain about his lack of family values. It would be on Fox News nonstop. Bannon would podcast whole episodes about it. WSJ Op-ed would rant about it, etc etc.
If the most qualified person ever was nominated by a Democratic president, would a single Republican cast a vote in favor? Fucking tribalism has destroyed our political system.
If the Democrats nominated the most perfect candidate in the history of humankind not a single republican would vote in favor. The have no shame, there is no human decency or empathy in them. none. they are literally point and laughing while CA burns, trying to figure out how they can benefit
Which Dem Senator(s) will cast a yes vote to confirm a day drinker with a sexual predator history to lead DoD? Fetterman perhaps?
I believe he has a daughter, right?
Any others?
How can we sit back and allow a criminal gang take over our government. Someone hacked our election machines and there's proof of that... why can't anyone stand up and prevent his inauguration ?!!! Many many of us are terribly disappointed in our elected officials doing NOTHING !!!
You mean the Republicans that just eagerly voted to check women's genitals in women's sports? (Which passed because Pelosi / Clyburn backed "Dem" Henry Cuellar voted in favor?)
I think if the CEO position at my job opens up I'll apply for it. I mean, after watching Pete Hegseth, I learned you don't need experience to get a leading position to command thousands of people 🤷🏾♀️
These days, not a single Republican would cast a vote for *any* nominee that was a Democrat for *any* position, even if that Democrat was the most qualified person on earth for said position.
Dems failed at questioning. If he’s not qualified, focus on the tough questions related to the job to show his incompetence. Don’t focus on his personal life!
The disdain he shows for even getting a background check by the FBI should disqualify him. Instead he'll get every republican plus post brain damaged Fetterman voting him in
No, if the Dems did anything the Republicans are currently doing all hell would break loose and the world would be coming to an end. It is such a joke that is no longer funny.
That’s the crazy thing. There’s plenty of other qualified republicans. Pick one of them.
Also I don’t think picking the sec of defense should be a partisan issue but here we are in Trumps America where every damn thing is a partisan issue to these weirdos.
Let's be honest, they will literally hate and try to stop everything that we do. They will contradict themselves even if they did it before. They don't care if what we did was good, if warping it will work in favor to demonize us, they will do it.
We should be as petty and trolly as they have been.
No. No, they would not. They would be laughing at the suggestion, but they have repeatedly shown that they're not concerned about what's right or wrong for this country. They're only concerned about what's in it for them and how much praise they can get from their daddy.
not a chance. they would have wall to wall coverage of their incompetence up on fox / oan / newsmax within minutes...and they wouldn't let up...this is the same thing democrats MUST do...we cannot let up esp. since we don't have control of the house or senate
No. And we would contact our congressional representatives to tell them what we think. This just wouldn’t happen. Are they trying to wear us out with Hegseth so they can slide Bondi in? It doesn’t matter who trump wants or in which position. I haven’t seen a damn decent human being anywhere near him
Rs are so scared of trump and their seats in congress they will vote to put in the dumbest cabinet in recorded history. And then trump will ignore them and do what he wants. No need to come to work—cut their salaries to $1 a year
As well as no Republican would ever have you on their show unless to talk over you and demean you (for example, Piers)But yet you cower and you have Cenk and Cuomo using up your airtime. Awful. Shameful.
It doesn’t matter anymore. When Democrats get back in majority and it will happen they need to govern as though republicans no longer exist. Ignore and shut them out.
The same GOP that was fist bumping on the Senate floor after they blocked a bill that would have expanded healthcare coverage for military veterans exposed to toxic burn pits?

America has chosen money over morals. And I’m ashamed of what we have anointed as our God King because one-half our stupids can’t read or write.
But I also believe that they wouldn’t push forward a person with Hegseth’s credentials.
Republicans tho…
This is reality.
Him being nominated by a Democrat would be the issue, not his personal failings.
It is a one way street.
Democrats need to nut up drop the gloves, pull their MAGA shirts over their heads, and pound them out of existence.
What disturbed me is his use of the word "left" and his political interjections.
Also his continuous praise of Trump.
He expresses loyalty to Trump and his party over the job he is applying for.
Not fit....

Extraordinary is mild word for them.

His refusal to accept any responsability for his drunken behavior showed he has no morals.

Excusing horrible behavior by some of these men, for party? Nah!
But Senate Republicans are all set to confirm him.
Republicans are just the worst among humans - no morals, no decency, just a lust for power.😢
Such a shame what our country has become.

They vote in favor of Red nominees, no matter how unqualified.
They vote against Blue nominees, no matter how good their credentials are.
They can always make up reasons.
