Shit is going to get real bad fast.
It only took Hitler 53 days.
I know Diaper Don is no where as smart as Hitler was, it will take him most of the first 100 days.

What’s the over under on our first military disaster or attack on our country?

daysonrick.bsky.social•29 days ago

Or military attack on our own citizens?

Putin is so proud of his GOP boys and gals and laughing at the gullible US public.

The history of this position goes 20 years further than what I’ve screenshot here. Ask your favorite AI friend what each of these people was doing before appointment to US defense secretary. (Esper is the only one who comes up short)

Not a single aspect of Hegseth stands up to the list.

notthatjc.bsky.social•29 days ago

This is completely insane.

jacklamorte.bsky.social•29 days ago

What is with people now? Every vote or referendum is a disaster and the wrong people end up 'ruling' us.

Deplorable

drshowup.bsky.social•29 days ago

Worst of Times

Like I have said, there is nothing we can do. The GOP is morally and ethically corrupt and nothing stops them.

katistasdrph.bsky.social•29 days ago

Nothing we can do about this confirmation but there is still plenty of work to be done

ck1956.bsky.social•29 days ago

Great, I would love to know what?

And a military which is rife w/unresolved sexual assault cases now has a rapist at the helm.

julezthorn.bsky.social•29 days ago

The crime spree begins.

cmj1048.bsky.social•29 days ago

If I am correct, Ernst could have stood up to this atrocity & then he wouldn’t have gotten approved. If true then shame on her and ALL the others who approved this totally unqualified and incompetent person!

mazakeen22.bsky.social•29 days ago

The GOP Senate members that confirmed Hegseth showed they cared more for their own interests and careers as for the interest of the country they got elected to serve and protect. Everything that goes wrong is on them now too. Which means all his picks will get confirmed.😱

Just who we don't need answering the phone at 3 am!

Patsy is in place. Now Xi can take Taiwan

Putin's Puppet destroyer of America from the WH. Disgraceful !

rootysmom.bsky.social•29 days ago

Pete’s mom hurt all of us. She owns this too. She didn’t have a divorce agreement restricting her communication like his abused second wife.

We are at DEFCON 1 in terms of being at war with internal forces of trump and the GOP.

We now have a National Security Crisis as we think about preserving the Constitution of the United States of America and America’s very survival.

medic8ted.bsky.social•29 days ago

Anyone that wants to take a piece of us while we're weak will have their greatest chances.

singlemaltz.bsky.social•29 days ago

…and trump helped write the playbook of how to wage biological warfare against us with his weak response to Covid.

…and RFK, Jr. doesn’t believe in vaccines, so . . . .

mrsdurkinmuses.bsky.social•29 days ago

Slim margin? One tiebreaker vote by the VP. Press needs to be precise.

philliphyper.bsky.social•29 days ago

What in the wide, wide world of idiocracy is going here?

northsleuth.bsky.social•29 days ago

Why not announce it in typical MAGA style.

SENATE GIVES HEGSETH LANDSLIDE WIN!

itsmethedarkages.bsky.social•29 days ago

Bingo cards edited:

D4: Hegsdeth rapes a honey pot sent to him from China

B7: Hegsdeth is white rapist boy wasted when Trump attacks Greenland and he falls in the snow and chokes on vomit while Greenland chants “Takuss” in accordance to Hegsdeth’s poison gagging

Thanks GOP!

laforl415.bsky.social•29 days ago

Well, we elected a rapist/narcissist/racist. I’m currently looking for the lost city of Atlantis. The possibilities are endless these days.

jthayer.bsky.social•29 days ago

"Slim margin". #Hegseth won by a tie break and that is hugely embarrassing for #FOTUS and Thune.
