If you've watched Hegseths Senate hearings, it's obvious he is shallow, inarguably unqualified, and completely subservient to Trump and will do whatever Trump tells him to do whether lawful or not. Thanks in particular to Senator Hirono for establishing just how craven and dishonest Hegseth is. - ThreadSky

spoontown11.bsky.social•39 days ago

Exactly! Republicans complain at Democrats DEI but somehow it’s ok to nominate someone with zero experience and that’s ok because he’s white?

jclaudia1.bsky.social•39 days ago

Let’s remember that Hegseth is tattooed to the hilt in Nazi and white supremacist symbols. He will be a Nazi leading the DoD

tishm.bsky.social•27 days ago

There are many he will have to contend with. Hope they eat him alive!

jclaudia1.bsky.social•27 days ago

I hope members of the military body are filing complaints about their discomfort of him being Secretary of Defense

tishm.bsky.social•10 days ago

Me too!

tishm.bsky.social•26 days ago

Good

tishm.bsky.social•26 days ago

Heard also closing European US bases.

hope-post.bsky.social•26 days ago

Sadly who’s going to give a shit in Trumps clown show of unqualified scum?

tishm.bsky.social•26 days ago

No one they are yes men.

hope-post.bsky.social•26 days ago

Exactly, there’s no one to call!

liberators.bsky.social•39 days ago

Pretty much asking him point blank if he would order the military to fire on Americans protesting in the future. His refusal to answer, is our answer. He will order Americans to be shot in the streets of America!

dbc105.bsky.social•39 days ago

4.5hrs and he said nothing. We are only as strong as our weakest link and Republicans are putting that link in charge of it all.

Pete is your typical ignorant, arrogant, belligerent frat boy who knows he's getting away with all his bullshit and bluster only because daddy's got his back.

2bornot2b2.bsky.social•39 days ago

Have you met a Trumpublican who wasn't shallow-minded?

hondocanyon.bsky.social•39 days ago

The Republicans have demonstrated that they will lie cheat and steal to get whatever they want. Regardless of the price to America.

debrown44.bsky.social•39 days ago

It is said that Neanderthals roamed the caves of Europe millions of years ago. This boy is living proof that some of them are still around.

cookie255.bsky.social•39 days ago

Has he tried crying yet, ala kavanaugh?

brownejax2024.bsky.social•39 days ago

and lets not forget, a ricking time bomb, he showed today there is nothing diplomatic about him, he was quick to get flustered, frustrated and honestly, not someone I want leading the most amazing military in the world. Hard fucking pass.

yvetaina.bsky.social•38 days ago

Add him to these magat goons.

brenda2024.bsky.social•39 days ago

Tammy Duckworth! That’s all! 👏🏽

loralei50.bsky.social•39 days ago

And a complete white supremacy supporter

hikerslife.bsky.social•39 days ago

Well he also stayed at a Holiday Inn so....

dibon5.bsky.social•39 days ago

Will it matter to Republican members who have drunk the KoolAid?

li5amarrone.bsky.social•38 days ago

Only compromised people will do Trump’s bidding.

alimor999.bsky.social•38 days ago

Hegseth, the #DUI hire

alimor999.bsky.social•38 days ago

Basically he said he would shoot protesters not honor the Geneva agreement and allow torture.

princesskim.bsky.social•39 days ago

It doesn’t matter though

melyo1.bsky.social•38 days ago

I agree w/everything you wrote. You can just tell that Hegseth is a no good scoundrel like most of T.O.M’s administration.

jdoliverjensen.bsky.social•39 days ago

(( SIGH ))
Seriously? You're just NOW waking up to the reality of BIPOC people, but most especially BIPOC women??

Well, welcome.
It's about time, frankly, but PLEASE...
Don't think that you're special in realizing this grand truth.
It's been right there in plain sight & called out for generations.

tishm.bsky.social•27 days ago

They can still yank his butt in for month or so long hearings.

kd-notgoingback.bsky.social•39 days ago

Duly noted by one and all.

angrywhitebitch.bsky.social•38 days ago

He’s the typical movie version

albadawn.bsky.social•39 days ago

I especially liked the part where one ‘Republican’ asked Hegseth to describe his wife. He neglected to say 3rd wife.

naroop.bsky.social•39 days ago

Yes to all of that. The hearing also showed a prominently displayed poster board about DEI and these white boys had misspelled “military”.

martindev4.bsky.social•39 days ago

Americans are about to find out what it means to be Russian.

seantgallagher.bsky.social•38 days ago

Who is incredibly accused of spousal abuse cheating on his wives being a fucking drunkard end having run two small charities with a few million dollars into the ground and we're going to give him the keys to a 900 billion dollar agency with nearly 3.5 million people working for it

sally443.bsky.social•39 days ago

His opening statement was chunder-worthy

darkwingturducken.bsky.social•39 days ago

The distinguished Senator Duckworth established that he doesn't know the difference between Asian and ASEAN, but I'm sure it'll be a completely fine non-clusterfuck.

fireandwater.bsky.social•39 days ago

The whole time I watched the hearings all I could think was that if I was in an elevator and he got in I'd get out on the next floor. He gives me the creeps.

broekn.bsky.social•39 days ago

and not just any guy - an alchoholic guy and, as everyone should know, active alcoholics are a great addition to any enterprise

lunchladyb4.bsky.social•38 days ago

He's a DFDI hire. Doesn't fucking deserve it.

rekounas.bsky.social•39 days ago

Next time the democrats are in power and the republicans say something like DEI or something like that... just respond with "shut the fuck up" and move along. They are not serious people.

samiam82.bsky.social•39 days ago

Should start calling these guys White-Nationalist-Privilege hires.

vealllc.bsky.social•39 days ago

Hirono was too busy laughing at her own jokes to be effective, way too into her own schtick, I heard it and it didn't land right

vealllc.bsky.social•39 days ago

Agreed about hegseth though, that's just not how you get at him

saveamerica.bsky.social•39 days ago

He will allow the military into the streets and to probably shoot & kill protesting citizens. American anarchy that will have been fomented by its own president

bigrde1969.bsky.social•39 days ago

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤡🤡🤡🤡

robi-witulski.bsky.social•39 days ago

I am still speechless over the fact that Joni Ernst sat through that shitshow, and at the end of the day decided, "yup. He's the one. He has my vote.". Just...how? ...why???

deedle21.bsky.social•39 days ago

Yeah, could be that she's been bombarded with calls to be primaried if she dares vote "no"?

Politicians nowadays have more of an appetite for retaining power than for standing up for principles.

shirlsurely.bsky.social•39 days ago

His arrogance is only overshadowed by his dangerous stupidity & his blatant misogyny. Much like the guy who nominated him, he is NOT worthy of the position he aspires to attain & they are both a complete disgrace to the Nation and a threat to National Security.

diversityisstrenth.bsky.social•39 days ago

David Lammy uk MInister has a harvard degree and is incredibly stupid,

organized-chaos.bsky.social•39 days ago

Yeah, but at the end of the day, he’s still going to land the DOD gig anyway because this is the way of the GOP.

rabbitpellets.bsky.social•39 days ago

Hey, the guy can identify a whiskey brand at 100 yards.

hunjun.bsky.social•39 days ago

Damn it Janet, Hegseth has commanded a platoon of 40 soldiers, something very few have done, and run (into the ground) not one but TWO veteran serving non-profits, which clearly qualifies him to run a 3,000,000 person/muti-billion-dollar operation, with control over destroying the world, right?

seilenos.bsky.social•35 days ago

williamstaab.bsky.social•39 days ago

His qualifications for the job is like having Julio the busboy from Dennys completing your Colonoscopy.

veritasnow.bsky.social•39 days ago

Just think what China, Russia and North Korea think of him.

shuckabeeblutarsky.bsky.social•39 days ago

And imagine this rapey, drunk, vapid Ken Doll leading our military when Russian tanks roll into Poland, or war breaks out on the Korean Peninsula. You in the service? You wanna follow this idiot?

nspoetess.bsky.social•38 days ago

& now what? I fear he & the rest of the stooges will get through. Scares the shit out of me!

ahersh.bsky.social•39 days ago

Republican pukes are going to vote him in... this is why I refer to ALL republicans as MORONS!!!!

rockwils1.bsky.social•39 days ago

rwr.bsky.social•39 days ago

Thank you for your outrage regarding Hegseth’s nomination on Stephanie Miller today. It’s cathartic for all of us who feel exactly the same.

humanity101.bsky.social•39 days ago

hudsonnash.bsky.social•38 days ago

The Perfect Republican. Vacuous. Subservient. Oblivious.

qckslvr.bsky.social•39 days ago

I fear for the world if this numb nuts gets this post. The US military will no longer be “an army of one.” It will become “an army for one.” The “wannabe dictator FOTUS” will use it for every little grievance, foreign and domestic.

See that Donnieboy? I can use the all cap function too!

angrygenxdad.bsky.social•39 days ago

Hegseth will be confirmed no matter what. So, brace yourself this next 4years of National Insecurity.

university-yt.bsky.social•38 days ago

You could tell he was about to lie/ had no idea what he was talking about whenever he started with "Senator, ..."

seekingreason.bsky.social•39 days ago

Yes. We notice!

gonzoinhouston.bsky.social•39 days ago

Willingness to break the law for Trump’s benefit is the primary qualification for any position in Trump’s cabinet. That or being a billionaire.

signalizing.bsky.social•39 days ago

An incompetent buffoon that has no business doing anything defense related. Putin must be laughing his ass off at the best gift that Trump could've possibly have given him

darkcafe5.bsky.social•39 days ago

Yeah we have been noticing that for the last 250yrs.

rowley-825.bsky.social•39 days ago

Hegseth is a dilettante in respect.

eattherich100.bsky.social•39 days ago

All a foreign spy has to do is buy him a shot. I hope they all OD.

mstitanic1990.bsky.social•39 days ago

And that is why Trump chose him. It's why Trump chose all the folk he chose.
