I have no problem with Pete Hegseth drinking on the job as long as the job isn't Secretary of Defense. He can drink all day long at McDonald's, for example. I wouldn't care.
I remember a few years ago when Andy Cohen got a little too tipsy during the NYE special and said some (frankly, funny) 'rude' things and was dragged and scolded for it. Also, important note: Andy Cohen has not been appointed to any cabinet positions as of now.
Senators that vote to confirm this Boy, need to be prosecuted for violating their oath of office. Remind every one of them, they can be prosecuted.
This Boys only qualification for this job is "I promise not to drink, on the job".
And it's one time of many reported. The warm beer-tasting thing, for example. Plus--what about the axe-throwing incident? Should be looked at in a new light, now, right?
And “rape” commonly used in everyday languages is exactly what trump did. So……ya know. They both did exactly what they have been accused (or already found guilty) of.
So does this mean that under Hegseth's DoD - they'll offer government sanctioned drinking celebrations where it would be acceptable for Hegseth to drink and dunk himself into a vat of champagne multiple times?
The evidence of him ‘taking a dump in the coffee grinder’ relates to a Fox ‘what sort of deranged boozehound takes a dump in the coffee grinder’ segment.
In other news, ‘Fox Coffee is Shite!’ according to Pete’s coworkers…..
How many on air personalities have been fired/sued for sexual harassment (or worse)? Just because it didn’t happen during a broadcast doesn’t mean it didn’t happen while at work. With Hegseth’s drinking it would have had to be pretty blatant for it to be discernible without a breathalyzer.
How do you get from "co-workers said he's often drunk or hungover" to "he was drinking champagne on new years?"
That is some Olympic gold medal level of mental gymnastics right there.
They asked for video evidence and it was provided. Then they try to pretend the video evidence is the only evidence, and downplay it, ignoring coworkers’ testimony. It’s a classic bait and switch defense. Video evidence is small, so all evidence is small.
This is why it’s so important to focus on the fact that he’s objectively, woefully unqualified. These stories are important and should be disqualifying. But in this timeline, adultery, alcoholism, assault, and extortion aren’t enough to keep you from running the most powerful military in the world.
They absolutely forgot when they accused Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and recently Kamala Harris of drinking on the job. Always an excuse when it's their (white) guys.
Didn't the lame fascists accuse Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen of drinking on the job when they were having some drinks during the CNN New Year's Eve show? Again, the double standard with everything when it comes to the fascists.
“Sure he is a drunk. Sure he sexually assaulted women. Sure he drank on the job. But he promised if you give him a really important, stressful job with tons of life and death responsibilities he’ll definitely stop drinking and won’t dare abuse his power”

(Which I’m sure he was.)

Sod ALL the way off.

in a sane society he would be wearing a straitjacket in a padded cell as the men in white coats hose him down with thorazine
And "drinking on the job" is not the same as "drinking on air".
Hades, these MAGA turkeys are dense.
There are real substantive criticisms of Hegseth, this is some Tan Suit Mustard On A Hamburger type shit, dont get distracted
