With up to six GOP senators indicating they have issues with his drunkenness and womanizing ways, his nomination for Secretary of Defense appears to be on life support.
He’s unqualified, prejudiced, and has poor judgment. Next…
Hegseth is a genuine extremist, the Christian nationalist version of Islamic State. That someone so obviously batshit is considered for Defense bodes very, very ill for the horrors to come.
I hope he sticks it out, it’s not like their bench is full. Plus, the only joy I have is seeing how much shit Trump can make his party eat and smile while they do it.
I'm no fan of Trump, or any of his garbage people but I will admit what I've seen of what he's accused of (which was on the Daily Show last night) didn't seem to be much. The drinking did seem over the top, but for women he put them in to "Party Girl" or "Non Party Girl" groups?
Hegseth should withdraw immediately and hide somewhere in the Apalachee Mountains together with Matt Gaetz. He's just embarrassing himself, Trump, and Fox News.
I am worried that this might all be on purpose. Select worst choice first on a few seatings, get em removed for obvious flaws, get 2nd option with less scrutiny perhaps.
It looks that way. Unfortunately, he should never have been selected. Just a waste of time. But it reveals Trump's knack (or lack thereof) for picking credible cabinet members.
My prediction: When the golden calf's medical records are finally released there will be a lot of infighting because those appointed by him will not want to leave their new positions gracefully to the more experienced.
And now his 'Mommy' not his mom, is starting to dial back her statements because he is fucked. She had the right of it. Her kid needed to hear it. I don't care how old he is. She is ashamed of him and he needed to hear it. She should stick to her guns.
I’m telling you he is doing this on purpose. He wants to appoint another repugnant, unqualified person to the post. He’s using this guy to soften the blow.
They weren’t so concerned w/ Dr. Ronny’s drinking, drugs, creating a toxic workplace & handing out Ambien & meds like M&Ms. He left the WH health office a mess w/ medical errors/dispensing meds w/ incorrect counts, giving meds to ppl who weren’t entitled to it. Got a military demotion for it too.
This will play out like every other thing Trump related, all the focus will be on the ineptitude of the individual candidates, but never on the madman that’s selecting them in the first place.
Does this mean it gets automatically passed to Rachel Campos-Duffy?
That is how Fox and Friends appointments work right? They just slot in another presenter to cover…
The problem is that all his picks are either Fox media, huge donors to his campaign, or relatives. And none of them have any experience running anything except maybe their mouth.
Will DeScumbag appoint Gaetz as governor of Florida? He’s currently unemployed and they’ve Venmoed together before. Greenberg in the middle is in prison and a child rapist buddy of both.
I'm not sure I understand your question, @georgetakei.bsky.social.
Are you asking if Pete is going to Venmo cash to underage girls for interstate sexual encounters, or are you asking if Pete will withdraw his nomination with his tail between his legs like a dog that gets beat?
He’s such an arrogant prick that I can’t see him willingly withdrawing from consideration. And I have little faith in the republicans having any influence on him if they even try
"Alleged treatment of women"? He gave her a roofie, raped her, then when she woke up offered her a shower. Instead she went straight to a hospital for a rape kit test and reported it. The police report called it rape. HE RAPED HER. But in Trump land, that's a recommendation.
Have they tried the "boys will be boys" defense to try and salvage things? Mmmm "locker room talk" doesn't really fit. Maybe their tried and true "women are just objects"? That's kind of a GOP classic.
One of the only good things coming out of this goat rodeo of a cabinet appointment process is how the world is getting a first-hand look at the level of dirtbags that Trump surrounds himself with. The public ridicule and humiliation is spectacular.
It feels like a pattern. He starts with one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and when pushed he falls back to a devil from the fourth circle of hell.
It’s almost like hiring your current junky loser friends who suck up to you, isn’t the right choice. Weird. Oh well. Let Republican destroy everything, then when we rebuild, exclude them from the rebuild. They deserve nothing. Let them suffer.

One would think whichever way gets to the most traction and unification, at once, is the goal.
Life is not about any popularity contest.
This was the plan hatched on the airplane.

-GOP Senators... apparently?
Yes.
