Of course it does

jj-14.bsky.social•60 days ago

Great segment with Maddow.

kimmcc5.bsky.social•60 days ago

This man is not a serious human.

wendygirl9.bsky.social•60 days ago

You and @weissmann11.bsky.social are my legal info heroes

talkinblack.bsky.social•60 days ago

I really appreciate you. You're a triple threat: cool, smart & sexy!

csmith24.bsky.social•60 days ago

Ya gotta wonder how any senator can vote in favor of him, especially the women.

cjphx.bsky.social•60 days ago

This is great and all but republicans don’t care about lying and sexual assault. Why aren’t Dems focusing on his lack of knowledge and ability to run the military? Throw him complex questions about military response to real world situations. He is clueless.

sunsout.bsky.social•60 days ago

That won't make them vote against either. The vast majority of people Trump has nominated are not qualified to do those jobs, yet they'll be confirmed. Republicans don't care. They want Trump loyalists in those jobs, not competent managers.

cjphx.bsky.social•58 days ago

Good point.

jcm444.bsky.social•60 days ago

He's obviously a truly HORRIBLE HUMAN BEING. Fits right in with the rest of Trumplandia. He will turn the U.S. military on the American people when FFOTUS instructs him. That is the reason they want him.

sunsout.bsky.social•60 days ago

So a weasel response from Hegseth to the "are there NDAs" question, but effectively, they do exist.

seminolenative2.bsky.social•60 days ago

Won’t change a thing. Unless he stabs someone standing at a congressional podium, nothing will change. Thanks for your reporting. We must try where we can to fight back.

sunsout.bsky.social•60 days ago

I'm not sure even a public stabbing would prevent Republicans from confirming him.

I watched this tonight. All I can say is WOW!

live1619.bsky.social•60 days ago

He will be confirmed. It doesn’t matter. Rapist drunk running the military

voyageurs59.bsky.social•60 days ago

Aha...now we know why the second ex-wife is not speaking out. She can't because of this agreement. What she's said about his drinking makes it clear he suffers from alcohol abuse disorder. He's unqualified and has major personal issues. This should be a hard "no!"

azsuzeblue.bsky.social•60 days ago

Lisa I don't know how you keep your cool in these times.

It is beyond my brain capacity to accept or tolerate the conduct of these clearly anti American criminals and abusers who are being allowed into our nation's most esteemed jobs.

"Put our lowest in the highest jobs" is the GOP of today.

drlarrymitchell.bsky.social•60 days ago

She gladly lost her larynx in the divorce- that's how bad he is.

meltonmomia.bsky.social•60 days ago

Great reporting, Lisa!

sirbeaucat.bsky.social•60 days ago

Good reporting by Rachel's team, huh? I'm telling ya, I don't know if we're going to be able to let her go back to Mondays only after the first 100. Who's going to tell her?

covcat.bsky.social•60 days ago

I don't know but it kind of sounded like it could be standard language in divorce agreements these days.

marycateismary.bsky.social•60 days ago

It’s in my DIL custody agreement & I thought it was to keep parents civil so their kids aren’t exposed to adult vitriol.

colleenski.bsky.social•60 days ago

The Hegseth clause goes beyond your clauses I bet. Standard is no disparagement in front of kids, for all the right reasons. His talks about no public disparagement or discourse.

davekirk728.bsky.social•60 days ago

Lisa, so much appreciate your clear and understandable legal explanations and contributions to Rachel Maddow’s show. Thank you for all you do. 🙏

jidge.bsky.social•60 days ago

The GOP, who will confirm him

artistrandy.bsky.social•60 days ago

Hegseth is not qualified for sec of DOD. He has no experience in this complex managerial position. This is not even including his alcoholism and unreliable behavior, attitudes toward women and more. He is a serious security risk.

artistrandy.bsky.social•60 days ago

Part of a reply I had for Rachel was, "How old are the kids now?". If it is the truth, despite the disparity, shouldn't it still be allowed? What would happen if she gave this info in her testimony anyway?

artistrandy.bsky.social•60 days ago

(Correction "disparaging" not "disparity")

nikomania.bsky.social•60 days ago

as much as the ex wife would like to, she can not say publically what her hubby did to her in their marriage because its in their divorce papers,

lynnchan.bsky.social•53 days ago

Republicans money buys silence 😠

jodiwrk.bsky.social•60 days ago

Yet another form of abuse & threats & control that are also not physical.

j-waller55.bsky.social•60 days ago

Should we now consider FBI background checks of nominees to be ridiculously inadequate and probably misleading? When restrictions are placed by those nominating candidates on what the FBI can investigate and whom it can talk to about a candidate's history, a clean FBI background check is misleading.

notafanoftrump.bsky.social•60 days ago

No matter how much evidence exists, there is no crime or heinous behavior Pete Hegseth could’ve committed that would prevent Republicans from confirming him.
