Even if he were the perfect, teetotaling, choir boy, faithful husband Hogsbreath would still be the most unqualified nominee for Sec of Defense in history by a margin.
Screaming into a hurricane. What is a strategy to end his chances? How do I convince #SusanCollins to vote no? I have her office on speed dial but trust me, she does not listen. Give me a new playbook that hits Congress and Fox in the pocketbook. Anyone?
Call Ernst especially. She should know better. They are afraid of the maga base they helped radicalize and will sell out their country to remain safe. Call her three times today. Get every in you know to do the same.
The FBI bungled Kavenaugh investigation too. We shouldn't have him either. What exactly is the FBI doing???? We keep getting stuck with these abusive drunk men.
If Catholic Protestant & LDS Senators confirm Pete Hogstead I will agree with Charlie Kirk: Republicans women HAVE DECIDED THEIR BODY RAPIST CHOICE, Wives, mothers, daughters, & granddaughters of Republican Senators/ Representatives WANT to be violently raped. Carie Underwood spread those legs.
Tell your senator that - should Hegseth endanger national security and that senator voted for him, having all the evidence available to them - then he/she will be pilloried .
It's a distinct possibility. Hegseth is a degenerate drunk and they all know it.
I was a fan of Elizabeth Warren until she wasted her debate time in the 2016 primary season attacking Michael Bloomberg for being a sexist boss. She thinks she wins with attacks like this. I wish she'd talk about how Hegseth doesn't have a clue how to do the job. Drunk OR sober.
few maga republicans are going to be able to throat these disqualifying facts, but I'm sure they're all going to try because they know voyeur trump will be watching. 😏
We do call and email and even text our Senators- we have been doing this since November, and none of them are brave enough to really fight the GOP. Stop making deals and start making sense!
How many truely understand just how very hard if not impossible it is to declare Trump medically unfit - We don't have a majority in the House or the Senate, and the VP - Vance is a pathetic puppet being run by Peter Thiel-
We need 2/3rds of each to invoke the 25th Amendment
We’re F’Ked - ???
Pete Hegseth is the perfect pic for Trump’s plan which is to give Oath keepers and ProudBoys official military training and access to military grade weapons.
Trying to pretend smart! You are no smart and became clear when running for Pres nomintn yourself and scuffed at Gates, Buffet and Cooperman wanting to support you, invited you on tv to discuss how best to tax the rich!
Oh you too go away, Sen Warren! You are one of the reasons Dems lost, with your constant attacks at large American corps close to elections year! You and your stupid DOJ, instead of focussing on the Repug bad, you went after Cos, and pushed em all away. Now deal with the stupidity of it all!
Tbh these first days are as if TGF wants to push the decency boundaries so much that dems or minorities revolt and then get crushed by force under military rule justifying a new constitution. We are entering a very dark chapter of US history and there will be blood.
He’s unfit for office and needs a thorough investigation before being nominated for Secretary of Defence. Alcoholism is not a choice for his post nor abusing women. He’s a disgrace.
He has the one trait that trump wants this time around. Unquestioning loyalty to him above the law, above the constitution, above all. The only bright side for us his he is utterly incapable of doing the job he is being assigned to. As are most of his cabinet picks.
I worked in mental health for years, assessing, diagnostics, crisis type street work, & years of learning from my own mistakes too, I didn’t see a hint of this. I took his direct opposition to maga as a reflection of his values, didn’t expect him to turn that same rebellious insouciance on us.
Are you serious? All of his characteristics just makes him MORE desirable to Republicans. There isn't ANYTHING that they would not vote for to please their orange king.
I have a family member in the military and she voted for this shit... I hope she's ok with an early dismissal because Hegseth doesn't want women in the military anymore 🤷♀️
Honestly, I’m sick of this horse & pony show ‘formality’ full of shocked outrage over this extreme yt nationalist. He has the votes & will be confirmed.
My question 2 Democrats: What is the plan once he’s confirmed? How will u keep him n check? How will you combat the litany of illegal orders?
IT'S TOO FUCKING LATE FOR THAT. I'm sorry. He'll get confirmed. The GOP is party over country, for fear of Trump's wrath. The Democrats need to get out in front of this. We need to vote people like Liz Warren out, and get activists on the floor of Congress that will bring everything to a halt.
There is not a single Senator on either side that believes Hegseth is qualified for the job.
But they are afraid of Musk's billions and the ability for Trump faithful to fund a primary campaign so they are unwilling to do their job.
Until Money is out of Politics, America will suffer.
hahahahaha, joni earnst was raped in the military and she vited for him so..... all women will continue to be screwed in many ways by the dick tater, hide 'n watch
Hegseth is one of trump's "kind of guy!" Use women, abuse women and then discard them. I called Ron Johnson's office-WI. No one ever answers, I just leave a voice mail. He's a trump sucking-loyalist. He will vote yes for confirmation.
YES! Senator Warren has courage to speak truth to power. Surely we can stand up by calling our Senators! A few calls won't cut it, but if we call en masse, they will pay attention.
THEY COUNT CALLS.
THEY WANT TO KEEP THEIR JOBS.

Yes, and calling your own senators is most important, but you can also call Senator Schumer since he is the leader of the Democrats and ask him to get 100% of democrats aligned against Hegseth.
DUI hire needs treatment, not the Nuke codes, but it may be Trump looks at him like his useful idiot to help him build his, basically, Trumpliban terrorist group. 1st the pardon for 1-6, next his full use of US military with DUI hire not getting in the way.
There are not enough repugnants left on the Hill to stop any of these confirmations. I just hope our military knows the difference between orders and the law!
The far right have littlr concern for women’s safety. Show where Hegseth assaulted MEN… show his lack of respect toward authority and toward men, and that will catch 🔥.
Of course he's unfit. Every Trump nominee is unfit. That's the point. Why pretend otherwise? Still, every Dem rolled over for little Marco, who is just a spineless little weasel and Trump toady.
Find out how many women he assaulted while on Active Duty! That's a question that deserves an answer. Please Senator, the American people will need your leadership on this. Find out!
Please… American fascists don’t care, get real. You’re living in the past, when we could pretend our fascist government wasn’t, because it was limited to brown people. Now there’s no denying it. That’s the only difference.
So do you think there is one house republican and three senators who would vote against him? I’ll be shocked if they don’t all fall in line behind the orange felon
The problem with this is there is a group of Christians, who think that this is exactly what Jesus wants out of them. An example would be Lauren Bobert and Matt Gaetz and sex molester trump
I have contacted the office of Thom Tillis in the past. Based on his public statements, I would waste time. Instead, I will focus on working to support a different candidate in the next NC US Senate election. He is a waste who occasionally sounds normal, but it is a false facade.
Yet another useless soliloquy from a Democrat legislator. No action just foul flatulence to say they spoke up. Thanks for nothing #SenatorWarren. Just more of the same.
Did you know the president can’t order a nuke attack by himself?
He has one “football” and the second football is in the hands of the Secretary of Defense.
We already have ONE nutjob-in-decline with the codes… We definitely don’t want football #2 in the hands of a drunk with anger management issues.
I've been calling my Senators and my house rep every day. I am proud to say Senator Warren, Senator Markey, and Rep. Keating represent me. Make a post it of your congresscritters with at least their DC office phone# and call them every day for the next 4 years. Seriously.
They had too many chances to fucking stop ALLLLLL of this, and could've been done with a new election😡
Calling out the fraud
Calling for a safe and fair contest guaranteed by the constitution
Can't say I disagree w/ that sentiment. They just sat back & spent most of their time trying to figure out how to survive him rather than fight him. They're all cowards! In regards to Warren, yes she falls way short but at least she's saying something. Not enough though I agree.
Eating our own & pointing fingers isn’t going to help us at this point. Once we figured out how to stop him, we can assess what happened and how to prevent it in the future.
I can't see how that will happen now. It's not like we're seeing a overly courageous Congress or that this new DOJ will act. No, he waited till Jan20th to let that out of the bag purposely -a big "Fuck You" cuz he knew we couldn't stop it now.
Short of some injection of integrity (nope) we're here.
Called both of my NC senators (one voicemail, one message left with a staffer). I hate talking on the phone, but as a veteran this is too important to not take action.
Maybe she should have done something to stop all of this instead of spending her time on social media bragging about introducing legislation recognizing a national bird
Elizabeth Warren IS my senator! So is the great Ed Market. For I live in the Great blue state of Massachusetts tg! Ok I'll badger your douches though 😂 I hate ass-kissers!
Why didn't she come with more ammunition?
You can't change the minds of politicians that are paid by the billionaire capitalist.
What kind of society do you think we live in?
Stop being on the take.
Workers across America need fighting leaders for us.
Not the elite that want a dictator in charge
Just called Moreno’s office— was told he is voting for all of Trump’s picks. Ohio— how could you elect this unqualified person over Senator Sherrod Brown? The other Ohio senator has been appointed, but no phone contact available.
Pete Hegseth isn’t qualified to command a single military installation much less so to lead the entire Department of Defense. Hell, I wouldn’t put him in charge of monitoring the local children’s playground.
Not a single one of those spineless pieces of shit
stood up to demand Merrick Garland's resignation,
during a Dereliction of Duty that encroached upon
Malfeasance, so why do you think they will do
anything of value for us now?

Representatives don't have nearly as much motivation to consider the concerns of people who can't donate to them, or vote them in/out of their job :)
Using acronyms assuming everyone knows what they mean makes it difficult.
What does SIL stand for, please.
Thanks.
It's a distinct possibility. Hegseth is a degenerate drunk and they all know it.
Stop enabling the Republican Fourth Reich takeover of America.
Maga DONT CARE !
Musk: “Vote against Trump I will fund a primary challenger and you get $0, vote with Trump get a $1,000,000”
GOP - party over country and $$ over anything
They will vote for this drunk even if he were just let out of prison for slaughtering puppies & kittens
We need 2/3rds of each to invoke the 25th Amendment
We’re F’Ked - ???
Mark my post…. It will be an executive order
But can the Dems stop him? Not without at least 4 R's voting NO.
I love the point, but the list of reasons not to vote for hegseth is longer than the drunk walk home he has to do from work.
His insistence that women don't belong in military, etc.
Let's spread the real reasons
She did this knowing there will be risks to her life.
His ex wife never said it wasn’t true.
He’s a piece of trash.
> Abusive attitude toward women
> Excessive drinking, even on the job
> Monumental financial mismanagement
>>> You wouldn't trust him to babysit your kids AND his vetting has been "Kavanaughed"!
SENATORS: Your duty is to our COUNTRY, not Trump. Look in the mirror, then vote NO!!
My question 2 Democrats: What is the plan once he’s confirmed? How will u keep him n check? How will you combat the litany of illegal orders?
No Republicans are going to vote No! They drank the Trump koolaid.
Being morally and ethically corrupt is a prerequisite for being considered by Trump.
The dude is simply not qualified. He isn't qualified to run a used car dealership much less the DoD

In the face of a Nazi (And that is what Trump is, quite clearly now) the first time a person in govt says "Okay" to him, they join his ranks.
