The President elect is a convicted felon, so why should Hegseth be disqualified from being Defence Secretary? Such are the standards in Trump's America.
Me too. As others have said here, it’s not new. It used to be hidden, or too shameful. Gary Hart was whacked for it. Clinton, as good as he may have been as a President, his ordeal was the end of consequences for that stuff
Not sure such a time ever actually existed. Apparently Ben Franklin argued about how your mistress should be an older woman, because they are more likely to be slim everywhere with a voluptuous booty.
Society just repeats the same patterns. Just new people take bad ideas and never freaking learn!
I read what Ben Franklin wrote about that topic. I don’t think you did. The word “Apparently” doesn’t justify placing that walking piece of shit stain in any comparison with Ben Franklin. You can do better. 👍
It was just a statement of like how people are getting caught up with the sexual allegations. Out of all of the Legislature there's probably like 20 people that aren't women that have not raped a skeleton in their closet. Probably a couple women too that raped a skeleton in their closet.
I’m troubled. But it’s only when I take it all personally. This shit is gonna’ play itself out. It’s like when you have diarrhea… ain’t now stoppin’ that shit! But I do get what you’re saying.
Now it’s time to practice love and get ready for the shit-storm.
Hey since you're a ghost, can you explain how all that works. You know the memories of the brain being retained in the mind and the mind dies inside and nothing remains how would you have any recollection of previous events before you died?
You find me a politician that isn't a hypocrite in the US.
I'm being serious. Please? I hope Bernie, but I don't really look into all the drama about the houses and BS because I don't trust the people who want to act like Bernie Sanders has anything to do with what's wrong with Legislature.
He does have 3 houses. Which he bought with his book money. Real estate is one of the most secure investments left in this country. I still have no hate for him.
I remember him having 2 houses, then a third one, but I don't care about his personal life. There's gotta be actual corruption like you know with Biden and shit, but people don't care. The same people criticizing Bernie for having 3 houses now? Maybe? I mean they probably voted for McCain's 9 houses
Yeah we're talking about views on relationships and sexual freedom here and now you want to talk about real estate. Franklin wasn't a hypocrite who tried to control the lives of others. He did give advice on well-being and promoting healthy habits
I mean I was kinda pointing out that the human experience is complex and that patterns repeat. Whether it's Anthony Weiner or a more villainous person... 80% of Trumps picks are as Monstrous as they are swampy. We have horrible right wingers in the SCOTUS too.
Although this was written at a time of great disappointment, anger, and stress, it was not hastily written and rapidly sent missive, but rather it was carefully written and examined letter into which she put much thought. Can’t now excuse it away.
There're many forms of abuse, but when she says "At your hand" it makes you think. This E-Mail could also be one from RFK Jr's mom to him the way he treated his first wife and probably drove her to suicide. They're both perfect picks for a MAGA administration.
I think we are seeing exactly how bad it is! And I have to wonder about the people who voted for him again, knowing who he is, and about those who just didn't vote at all! I couldn't be any more disgusted!
I give no shits that she apologized either. If she did, it’s because it’s a hard thing to tell your kid and it got out. Truth is, she felt exactly this way when she wrote it FOR A REASON. He is a piece of crap and fits in perfectly with Dumpy Pants picks.
The fact that she felt the need to write this letter tells us everything we need to know. The fact that he isn't coming out and saying that he deserved this, but has pulled it together tells us even more!
Wow. Pete Hegseth’s own mom called him an “abuser of women” per an email obtained by the New York Times.

trump thinks of women just as he thinks of people of color and the LGBTQ+ community; unworthy of society. He sees nothing wrong with being abusive, because he is abusive. He told us on that bus, he does what he wants. Not because THEY let him, but because he feels entitled to do whatever he wants.
He sees the rest as less than. If only he were made to sit and watch/listen to what "his" people say/do when he's not in close proximity. No one cares for him, they use him. Purely transactional, just as he sees everyone else. No loyalty. (Except maybe Mr guiliani)
Just picture all the Republican women pretending to be 20 years younger with all their Botox and surgery. That's what they mean by Mutton dressed as lamb.
I have two mothers who both abandoned me because of their own sinful nature. I do not trust the merits of a woman claiming righteousness solely in the name of calling herself a mother. A mother to whom? Intent matters and context is twisted by emotions and unhealed traumas. Rise above them! YESHUA!
MAGA look at women as less than and it is acceptable for men to act as such. It’s wild when you consider MAGA women also feel the same way. I’ll never understand. MAGA wants a world where women are only here to serve men. Scary times for someone like me raising a daughter in today’s world.
When the maternal critique stings more than a million tweets, it's time to introspect. Isn't a mother's view the unflinching mirror of our true selves?
I don't understand why Harris was so quick to concede election and they seem to have no interest at all in doing even a partial paper recount in swing states. I'm very ashamed of this administration at this moment.
There never was a lottery (or a contest). Musk's attorneys asserted that the "winners" were selected spokespeople, not random.
There have been at least three lawsuits claiming Musk duped voters into giving up personal info when they signed his petition to be eligible for money they could never win.
As per Musk's attorneys, the give-away was not random (and thus not a sweepstakes). Winners were selected in the manner of a job interview and chosen for their suitability to be spokespeople.
Entrants who thought they had a random chance to win were misled.
So sad. This is who will be making decisions on behalf of our country. I’m so angry at the women who voted for this or were too lazy or ignorant not to vote at all.
Worse than that, he wrote several books that say crazy things that make him UNFIT to be Sec of Defense. Like calling for the “total annihilation” of the left. You can’t put someone who called for a literal “crusade” against half the country in charge of 1.5 million troops.
According to many I know in the military ,active and retired , say he won’t get respect because he hasn’t truly paid his dues. You can’t simply be appointed and get the respect
But I thought ten Hail Marys and a few Our Fathers thrown in on Sunday and all is good. Can't we just pray it away to the great miraculous invisible sky lord carpenter jesus henry christ?
Of course, he hates women. Of course, he hates LGBTQ. Of course, he hates seniors. Of course, he hates the military. Of course, he hates animals. Of course, he hates the disabled.
Democrats should say nothing. If Republicans want to kill his nomination that’s on them. We should hold our fire until the hearings. Then expose his incompetence.
I believe that fat fuck picks these unqualified people because it’s the attention he craves. Plus he doesn’t give a shit who gets these positions as long as the attention is on HIM.
He is. I commend her calling it out. It’s so sad that she’s already apologized for speaking up & speaking out. These “babies” can’t & won’t change their bx. It seems to just get worse. Pathetic. How a man treats his mother tells u everything u need to know abt how he’ll treat u! Thx 4 sharing!! 💙💙💙
Mama knows truth and put it to him. He sounds like a piece of work. Wonder where his issues stem from. Mama knows best. If any woman deals with this seriously flawed male after reading this, they have serious issues themselves.
Whoa.. way to go mum 👏 👏👏 it's just a pity the misogynistic pig 🐖 didn't feel the shame and remorse that a normal person would if their mum takes the time to put feelings and truth on paper as this loving mum did.
Stop #DirtyDonald from wanting to install Fox in the hen house to control the hens!
I’m so scared for all of you Americans. Your #MeToo President loves #Racists #Rapists and #Ignorance he’s looking for his #Lovefest to continue to marginalize anyone not white and as stupid as he is. #TrumpForPrison
I’d guess a lot more is going to come out about this guy given that people who know him are leaking the most damning possible information. It’ll be rough to see Susan Collins furrow her brow when she votes to confirm him.
WOW is right. If this is really from his mom (there *is* a lot of false info out there and we don't see the "to" and "from" lines) the best thing for ol' Pete to do would be to "choose" to be gay. (Wut? It's not a choice??) The dude clearly despises women.
Can you imagine how Pete treats his mother? If she calls him out for his behavior based on her personal knowledge, I can't help but wonder if some of his abuse was targeted at her.
If that’s the case how do we know anything. The fact that his mother is trying to row back may give you a small indication of the veracity of the email
Today, how do we even believe anything any longer, after the lies of Trump and EVERYONE around him? Over half of the people that voted, voted for the liar, who easily, was able to make them believe the absolutely most flimsy of lies, with NO facts to back it up. That was my point. MAGA don't care!
Mrs. Hegseth .. defended her son and disavowed the sentiments she had expressed in the initial email .. “It is not true. It has never been true .. I know my son. He is a good father, husband.” She said that publishing the contents of the first email was “disgusting.” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/us/politics/pete-hegseth-mother-email.html
I can't believe we're going to have rapists and other criminals in charge of law abiding citizens in this country. Those paranoid about criminals crossing the border literally voted to put criminals in charge of them.
this is the party of fuk ups, pedophiles, closeted gays who openly attack other gays, theifs, rapists, wacos (see RFK) , convicted felons, a fuking violent insurrection....wtf is next

unproven allegations to have people disqualified?
Remember, there were unproven allegations made about Biden and the Democrats didn’t think that was a deal breaker.
Society just repeats the same patterns. Just new people take bad ideas and never freaking learn!

Why did Ben catch a stray for no reason LMAO

Might be a horrible 60 years.
It wasn’t so long ago, that each of the 2 major parties ranged from reactionary to liberal/progressive.
I‘be always been a liberal, but only since 2000, have I given up on ever voting R.
My conservative R grandparents all supported women’s rights and reproductive rights.

Of course, he hates women. Of course, he hates LGBTQ. Of course, he hates seniors. Of course, he hates the military. Of course, he hates animals. Of course, he hates the disabled.
Of course, he hates Mom.
Look at Jesse Watters 🤡
His mom will be just another woman people ignore, but really shouldn’t 🙄
Of course not, because the NYT can’t be honest about anything.
