Yeah see I'd be on all the shows with that quote.

“Winning, said several staffers from offices less inclined to light Hegseth up, would mean not leaning in on the rape allegations and instead creating space to oppose him on grounds that Republicans can also oppose him on.”

That’s a hell of a sentence.

The worst part about this is how not true it would end up being. New Scandal/Crime is discovered, "Brave Rs" condemn it, Trump says it's good, actually, and they fold. Basically every time.

So Brock Turner’s dad was right, nothing a man does to victimize women should ever keep him from grabbing whatever he can beg borrow or steal for himself. Only if he begs borrows or steals FROM A MAN is it a problem. He could have a wake of survivors encircling the globe and still fail upward.

We aren’t short of examples of this, at the moment, that’s for sure.

Men failing upward with clockwork regularity has been going on for hundreds of years, it's not new. I've been watching it myself for 58 years. Le sigh.

So many glowing examples…

"Rape is not disqualifying" is a hell of a thing for Republicans to admit.

And one that really ought to scare everyone.

Unbelievable. Actually- not.

There is an adjudicated racist in the White House. An accused rapist on SCOTUS. So why not have another alleged rapist in the cabinet. Up next Republican rapists for Congress!

Damn, autocorrect. But that is true too.

There is an adjudicated rapist in the White House.

Amazing when people actually say it out loud. Wow.

I find Hegseth(& maga) views on women abhorrent & dumb - when military is having recruitment issues who rejects 50% of population outright?

zen1den.bsky.social•48 days ago

Reality: GOP has control. GOP women aren’t fighting on women issues(hello Susan Collins we see you). So, only rational approach is to attack Hegseth on issues that resonate more strongly w/ maga/GOP.

David Brooks makes excellent points
