With few exceptions, Dems missed their oppty to reveal the foul essence of Hegseth. Who ever wrote their questions should be fired. Instead of smart, cogent questions designed to challenge his ability to lie, they meandered. Their rebuttals to his BS were equally ineffective. God help America.

It kinda looked like he was passing a stone through his urinary tract.

Was The Onion always not actually satire? Or are we just realising it now?

georgieobeefe.bsky.social•90 days ago

Hey, you're supposed to be a satire news site. That blurb is....sadly extremely pertinent.

bikepathrickross.bsky.social•90 days ago

HE’S GOING TO STOP BINGEING!!!

andythoman.bsky.social•90 days ago

He’s being interviewed by idiots that have no idea about serving their country or anything beyond their own selfish concerns.

42words.bsky.social•90 days ago

You're forgetting: it's not that he's a sociopathic, drunken rape-monster unfit to manage a Dollar Tree, let alone the biggest cache of weapons of mass destruction on Earth.

He's that To™ Own™ The™ Libs™ which, remember, is literally all magas care about ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

bassplayrhues.bsky.social•90 days ago

💯 accurate. Sadly “Owning the Libs” seems to be a consistent mental disorder with the MAGA cultists.

This is satire, but it's also 100% truth.

dreetalmbout.bsky.social•90 days ago

The kind of asshole you have to be to get a drunk on the job accusation at a cable news network…

withayekay.bsky.social•90 days ago

"Ok good "

thegodofcities.bsky.social•90 days ago

As a veteran (Navy) I have
to ask certain unpleasant
questions. Maybe the most
obvious being: "Are we as a
nation putting our best foot
forward by letting a man of
such bottomlessly fucking
low character insist that he's
the one one to teach America's
fighting men and women morality?"
