He could be in front of a firing squad and would still argue that he's above the law.

Hegseth is not qualified to hold this post! Remove him now!

I don't understand the point of these hearings. The dog and pony show does nothing to change anyone's mind. MAGA is clear in their desperate desire for Trump to be king, so questioning his officials is only serving as ragebait for those of us that know better.

gritclaw.bsky.social•7 days ago

That last part, I think, is what's most helpful. It keeps us angry, and hopefully angers some more people that supported him that also know better.

Whether it works or not, I don't know, but it's the only useful consequence at the moment.

slylos.bsky.social•7 days ago

Unfortunately anger isn't a lasting motivator. And it doesn't always yield the best decisions. Action is better than anger and it doesn't have to come from anger either.

How many acts of fucking TREASON does this drunk shitstain have to commit before it is arrested and imprisoned???

wordsfailme123.bsky.social•7 days ago

They are secure and confident in their treasonous actions. They control all three levers of power .

teresa007.bsky.social•7 days ago

So is he saying that he believes in a dictatorship?

dharmawheel.bsky.social•7 days ago

More and more, I realize how much over his head Hegseth is. For when he states "we'll see" regarding the highest court of the land, IMO he is implying that "his" military is above law and Constitution. So I'm betting that the Joint Chiefs will prevent him from acting on his big-mouth bravado.

jeffwave.bsky.social•6 days ago

“We’ll see”?!

thatgary.bsky.social•7 days ago

Remove him with whatever force is necessary-GOP Nazis aren’t following laws, no one else should.

munbosrock.bsky.social•7 days ago

He's Russian. He is a traitor.

cristiwolfram.bsky.social•7 days ago

Hegseth is a drunk who's going to follow Trump right off the side of the mountain. He needs to go. His replacement certainly couldn't be any worse but at least the next guy might be sober.

kindb4wefightwewin.bsky.social•7 days ago

Him and others that do this worry me, that they know something about the next election that we don't know.

vaqueandconfusing.bsky.social•7 days ago

treason

libertytree.bsky.social•7 days ago

I don't know why reporter types keep expressing incredulousness at the actions of #donaldtrump and his cult leaders, who have been prosecuting this #slowrollingcoup since the elevator descent that triggered this decline of #AmericanDemocracy.

rbsnst.bsky.social•7 days ago

No longer standing up for America

trispw.bsky.social•7 days ago

Maybe send some ICE thugs to arrest him.

wordsfailme123.bsky.social•7 days ago

It’s only treason if they themselves say it’s treason! No wonder they feel safe in their betrayal of America.

trasimm62.bsky.social•7 days ago

He is SO FUCKING SMUG!!!
I look forward to the day when someone beats him beyond recognition.

clare-bear3.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes yes, we all dislike this. They’re doing it because they CAN. There’s been no punishment or push back. No enforcement. They’re handcuffing Senators ffs.

We’re going to have to fight, folks. 😔😡 Prepare accordingly.

proud-liberal-vet.bsky.social•7 days ago

This is so unfit for duty! Scumbag!

bradthedad.bsky.social•7 days ago

give him a break, he's obviously drunk

precinct0045.bsky.social•7 days ago

I think I'll need to drink more often myself to get through these times!

alisonbraen.bsky.social•7 days ago

The Fox host drunk has to go!

lulea1.bsky.social•6 days ago

Immediately!

julietacamp.bsky.social•7 days ago

He's ex- army combat? That is TREASON plain and simple.

julietacamp.bsky.social•7 days ago

These straight white racist men are pathetic. Tiny Pete Hegseth is hiding behind the Fascist 47 who is not above the law. Three branches of government still exist last I heard.

barefoot3.bsky.social•7 days ago

Won’t follow the law? Great leadership traitor.

jjwiorek.bsky.social•7 days ago

If there are no consequences for failing to uphold your oath to the constitution, why do we even bother to have anyone take it??

paulderrick.bsky.social•7 days ago

Even middle schoolers learn that the judiciary is one of the checks and balances against unfettered executive power. The district courts are the day-to-day arm of the judiciary. The Constitution doesn’t give that authority only to the Supreme Court. Hegseth and the administration need to wise up.

cbdude.bsky.social•7 days ago

Pete had better read the parts of the Constitution that mention treason.

rickymun.bsky.social•7 days ago

He should but he won’t. Checks and balances have been removed from day one.

gingercruiser.bsky.social•7 days ago

He deserves a fate worse than removal from office

wizardbewitch.bsky.social•7 days ago

What we need to know about Hegseth is just who he is, as far as serving on active duty, I would like to know what he did and what his promotion ability was, I bet his service record is horrible since the Home of the Brave and the Land of the Free he doesn't believe in

fullerray.bsky.social•7 days ago

And not a fucking word from the MAGA GOP

dezerov.bsky.social•6 days ago

They are FEDERAL judges, you fucking alky. They are appointed and confirmed just as SCOTUS is.

God, you are an imbecile.

pappahypes.bsky.social•7 days ago

Every Republican Senator voted for this hot tub house painter

johnd26.bsky.social•6 days ago

Courts need to order his arrest as he is not President. the Scotus immunity decision (Which needs review and reversal) Should not apply .

feralelferoz.bsky.social•7 days ago

His is such a disgrace to the position he holds. Utterly incompetent and dangerous to every single US citizen no matter your political affiliation. Any one who follows his orders are traitors just like this made for TV "soldier"and his fancy make up studio at the Pentagon

chronicmanliness.bsky.social•7 days ago

So then we, the general public, also do not have to follow laws and court rulings? Got it. 😁

mark1313.bsky.social•7 days ago

He is a drunk. He has no business leading the world's most powerful army.
He should shining their boots for them.

normanstrasburg.bsky.social•7 days ago

Okay. What are we going to do besides bitching about it on social media? Lawsuits, strongly-worded letters, furrowed brows, and stern expressions of concern won’t stop these troglodytes. None of this is normal. Let’s stop acting like it is.

ciaogirl9.bsky.social•7 days ago

#GOP been walkin’ this trail since 1/6. Ain’t nobody stopped em’

lifewandererer.bsky.social•7 days ago

This man is not a leader. I guess that is why Trump chose him. Pete is not even a puppet. I am not sure what to call him. This is a characteristic of all Trump's milquetoast people: suddenly they are filled with power and they intend to use it. They will defy all because they are in power!
