Terrifying

Duckworth: How many nations are in ASEAN?

Hegseth: We have allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia.

Duckworth: None of those countries are in ASEAN.
🤦‍♀️

unqualified. period

elleryhubbell.bsky.social•59 days ago

He doesn’t know what he doesn’t know.

elleryhubbell.bsky.social•59 days ago

Hegspeth doesn’t know what he doesn’t know.

katbuns.bsky.social•59 days ago

None of the GQP senators in Hegseth’s hearings should ever be forgotten - the cowardice and need to hold onto power is pathological.

alfredlund.bsky.social•59 days ago

Absolutely. And damning for any member who votes for confirmation.

bigboisotis.bsky.social•52 days ago

Almost like he's not qualified or something. 🙄

freedom2b.bsky.social•59 days ago

Ask it where Myanmar is.

coachs54.bsky.social•59 days ago

But he lifts weights and is tatted up so he’s uber qualified…some MAGAt somewhere believes this is qualification enough.

Ugh, Idiocracy was supposed to be a movie, not real life

Heg is a dumb drunk

mrliam.bsky.social•59 days ago

I’d have made a similar error.

sovsean.bsky.social•59 days ago

And that's okay because you're not nominated for SecDef.

My feeling is Hegseth’s hearing is the most consequential to Trump. After the incident in New Orleans and Las Vegas, there was a push from senators getting him through. He knows there will be civil unrest as soon as 1/20. Trump wants him in place for the “law & order” . But helping his “strongmen”.

stopbyforcoffee.bsky.social•59 days ago

This is going to be a dangerous and extraordinarily dumb 4 years. Painfully so. Look out for each other.

bullwinkle428.bsky.social•59 days ago

Like Trump having no idea what the nuclear triad is.

julmm.bsky.social•59 days ago

He is a terror.

samanthae44.bsky.social•59 days ago

Yeah, I’m going to be pretty zoned out these next four years. I just need to know the bare minimum to protect myself.

nrvschultz.bsky.social•59 days ago

Wonder how quickly Trump will blame Biden and Dems when he orders Hegseth to take over an ASEAN nation and he invades Japan.

streaminggiant.bsky.social•59 days ago

Even i got one in Laos without googling it.

drjuliaa.bsky.social•58 days ago

As an Australian I am terrified.

barichard.bsky.social•59 days ago

Real talk though. Why can't politicians and nominees have to pass basic civics or other position specific knowledge checks? We can't drive a car without passing a test but a guy can direct our military without a little demonstration of basic comprehension of the job?

mhenselder.bsky.social•59 days ago

How about the questions on civics test for naturalization & citizenship??

v-ron.bsky.social•59 days ago

Now ask him what continent the country of South Africa is on...

michepre.bsky.social•58 days ago

Ignorant!

desarrayed.bsky.social•59 days ago

Pete talks about DEI but couldn’t be bothered to learn anything about the job he’s interviewing for.

He expected to get the job based on his gender and the color of his skin

He’s coasted on legacy admission status and is affronted that he’s expected to actually work

freshhell2024.bsky.social•59 days ago

People are laughing at him but this will mean that we are all in danger- Americans and everyone in any country that doesn't do Putin's bidding.

boocow16.bsky.social•59 days ago

But ,But Senator Duckworth how dare you talk to me in that tone. A unqualified White Privileges man I maybe, but at least I'm not a lowly DEI hire.

drmkb.bsky.social•58 days ago

Who prepped this guy??

john614.bsky.social•58 days ago

He is a good man. He is an alpha male. Alpha males save nations. #FoxNews. #DOD

jim0novak.bsky.social•59 days ago

Thank goodness this isn’t a part of the world likely for WW III to break out. 😒

skipperone.bsky.social•59 days ago

Be prepared to be governed by a dumb bunch. In the meantime, mobilize for 2026 and 2028.

patricio2541.bsky.social•59 days ago

Don't ask him anything about the "9 dash line" 😬

samspade1941.bsky.social•59 days ago

Conservatives seem to have developed a near monopoly on ignorance, stupidity, and have developed a genuine pride in their stupidity.

That's why so many of them have a negative opinion about Ukraine without having ANY experience on the Ukraine file, language, history, or culture.

Same for Asia.

furbies3.bsky.social•59 days ago

Australia is right next door, but we ain't a member......

rulesfortitans.bsky.social•59 days ago

That's that "Merit" we keep hearing about.
