It is so absolutely clear that he is utterly unfit. It’s ridiculous that this nomination is being taken seriously. And BTW, why aren’t these nominees under oath during these hearings, for God’s sake?
This country was happy with three-martini lunch Ford and then Dole, Gingrich, and Reagan who upheld the sanctity of marriage several times. White men are immune to consequences if they can help Republicans keep the rest of us down. We need a return to basic standards of decency.
They won't .... GOPQers in Congress are set to make millions over the next four years ...... you are asking a party that lacks integrity to do the right thing .....
The populace of the United States should have rejected Donald Trump's candidacy (2016 and 2024) but how did that work out?
We have entered the bizarroverse.
Hegseth is being taken apart by the Dem senators. FINALLY standing up. Repub senators have no defense. I actually didn’t realize how eye-wateringly unqualified this one is.
If he’s confirmed it’s further proof that we’re done. Will be chaos at DOD, plus crazy military moves by Trump.
To be clear. If PH is confirmed by the senate & NMP (Not my president) keeps getting his way, I as a Female Veteran of the USAF, who swore to defend a Constitution that will no longer be relevant?
Is that what you all are seeing??? Seriously folks. Only way to stop the Bully is to stand up to him.
Guess you forgot none of this matters. 45 can install anyone as an “acting” cabinet member. This is just a joke. @briantylercohen.bsky.social @glennkirschner.bsky.social @housedems.bsky.social

I think if The American people cared about bad behavior or qualifications for a position, they wouldn't have re-elected Donald Trump in the first place and we wouldn't even have to think about someone like Pete Hegseth. They clearly don't. I'm not saying that we shouldn't put up resistance.
I totally agree with you, friend. I'm watching these hearings here and there before I go run errands.... And I hear myself quipping to the TV in a snarky manner that no one f****** cares anyway. I am so disgusted that I even feel this way.
I don't understand when exactly America lowered the bar. 💙
I think the next 4 years is going to be a long "I told you so", and I'm sick and tired of stupid people. Perhaps I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.
I am so weary of the uneducated holding America hostage. We're all in Trump University now. 😜😡 You didn't wake up on the wrong side. I used to think I was waking up on the wrong side... But I guess this is who I am now.😜
Republicans will fall in line. They always do. Collins may be “concerned” but at the end of the day they don’t want to face the wrath of MAGA. They bought the government.
If you are a real US Veteran & US Military serving now and watch That Liar Racist Stolen Valor Alcoholic Punk Bitch of Pete Hegseth, you can see with your eyes that he does not qualify to be close to the US Military or to be a Soldiers, he is a liar, embarrass & no good as Human or Military person!
“Hegseth has written in a book, An American Crusade, that he could imagine a scenario in which the US armed forces would be used violently in American domestic politics.” - Reich
all of Musk/Trump's nominees should be blocked by Congress until people who idk don't have a history of SA, or committing crimes are mentioned. wait, that makes sense so it must be wrong in .gov speak
Rejecting Hegseth starts with the fact that he has zero qualification to hold the position for which he has been nominated. No management experience remotely close to what is required to do the job.
He is unqualified for ANY position in the Govt because of his personal conduct, and radical beliefs.
Willing to bet he's sitting there two sheets to the wind. He should be forced to take a breathalyzer test for competency sake, like they should have done with Kavenaugh when he was professing a love for beer.
His only ability is to do exactly as told.
To have someone with no morals, ethics, sense of proportion, in charge of the US military is a threat to the people of the US.
text your objection to Hegseth's nomination to RESIST to use Resistabot to send letters, emails, telegrams and letter to your Senators, Congressmen and other Officials.
It's easy, it efficient, it's fast. It lets their staff know where their constituency stands.
In this day and age, with a climate catastrophe and nuclear war being our greatest existential threat to humanity, we need global solidarity. He’s is the opposite of what we need. A bully, not near enough experience as far as I can tell, misogynistic, hot headed. Very dangerous and irresponsible.
If Hegseth was a man and not a complete narcissist he would chose our countries future over his
maybe 4 years in a new career that he knows nothing about.
Trump's Entire Cabinet is one of Disruption! Today is proof that all of Trump's Cabinet will be confirmed as GOP needs to vote like the Democrats- United and Pete got Joni today to endorse him. All Six- GOP and DEMO Defs sure know how to lose wars!
The maga repugs are unconscionable. Watch the sleazy cabinet picks advanced by sleazy, lying Trump before the committee. The unction just oozes from their every pore!
@lisamurkowski.bsky.social as a constituent, I really hope you know these nominations are disgraceful. Hegseth belongs on a watch-list, not as a cabinet secretary…
I agree. Hegseth is totally unqualified, but he wouldn't be on the stand today if he didn't have the votes in the Senate. This hearing is all kabuki...
When we apply for a job we are analyzed, background checks, drug screening, depending on the job a security clearance, your finances checked, your neighbors interviewed, education & qualifications verified.
Yet, on the tax payer dime NONE of this is required for the highest positions in our country.
But they won’t because MAGA have no morals or ethics, or intelligence or courage. They will risk the security of the entire country just to not piss off Trump. They are corrupt to the core.

Surely won’t make their job easier. They know he is trash, yet… is failure the goal???
> Abusive attitude toward women
> Excessive drinking, even on the job
> Monumental financial mismanagement
Hegseth isn't qualified to operate a toaster.
Also FBI "Kavanaughing" vetting!
SENATORS: Your duty is to our COUNTRY, not Trump. Look in the mirror, then vote NO!!

Hegseth is not qualified, measured by his knowledge base and experience.

This man will order the unthinkable, gladly.
