I would die on the spot of shame if I were this spineless.

"Did #Russia invade #Ukraine?

It’s a pretty simple question I had for the Deputy Secretary of #Defense nominee. It’s an obvious “yes” to everyone except this administration," - U.S. #Senator Mark #Kelly

Serious question:

Are all of these grown adult men “spineless” … or are they maybe compromised?

Are we really going to keep “wondering” why these guys do things? Has anyone ever, you know, investigated them? Their finances? Their travels?

(The Natl Enquirer dude’s “vault”?)

Mr Feinberg, after you breathe air into your lungs, do you breathe out?

Well, um, going to my behind closed doors statement a second ago….

Even jellyfish have more spine than this guy vying to be Deputy Secretary of Defense.

Maybe he could put together Twelve Step program for Hegseth’s self-declared but already failed recovery?

Kakistocracy.

Yes! Russia invaded Ukraine. America should be siding with Ukraine.

I’m sure he must have “money pouring in…”

We're at war with Eastasia. We've always been at war with Eastasia.

I would change the question to: "Factually, who crossed whose border on the day the war started?", follow-up, "Who crossed whose border in 2014?". "Would a peace treaty be signed, should there be protection against whoever keeps crossing borders?"

Trump sycophants would still “Uh, if I may” around the question.

abigailesman.bsky.social•69 days ago

You have to understand. Trump is literally threatening their lives and those of their family if they don't say what he wants them to.
THIS is where we are.

No excuse. They shouldn’t hold the position if they can’t uphold their oath.

0effs2give.bsky.social•69 days ago

IF, and that's a huge if, this is the case, one could simply decline the offer of the position. Just another POS nomination.

abigailesman.bsky.social•69 days ago

I’m not justifying anything. But it is the case and if they are already elected to office I don’t see how you “decline the position.” Moreover - and then what? Let him replace you?

Apparently you can offset a loss of backbone with money and influence

richjvann.bsky.social•69 days ago

That’s because they are Russian assets. They’re not going to bite the hand that feeds them!

Call me hopeful, but do GOP leaders even have ONE entire spine among them?

Dripping with slime!!!

Somebody help me here but why would anyone want a job in this regime at this cost? What exactly do any of them get out of trying to convince themselves that the sky is green and grass is blue?

Imagine your children, grandchildren and family seeing you do this. Sad.

sbkbrian.bsky.social•69 days ago

Another unqualified nominee who wouldn't add any competence or effectiveness to the DoD leadership pool. The ongoing cronyism will weaken morale and readiness, serving the interests of adversarial countries, including the one that Trump will never criticize For Some Reason. 1/x

sbkbrian.bsky.social•69 days ago

Per Wikipedia, Feinberg's investment firm owns DynCorp, a private military contractor, so it's another case where blatant conflicts of interest are likely. 2/x

“[Billionaire businessman Stephen Feinberg] provided few specifics about how he would find significant cost savings, declined several times when asked by Democrats to state clearly that Russia invaded Ukraine, and at times mischaracterized actions the administration has already taken.” 3/3

Agent Orange won’t allow him to answer truthfully so with bravery and valour he freezes.

America is the home of the brave.

mullinshere.bsky.social•69 days ago

What the hell does this obvious wet rag of a human being feel he gains by this? Does Trump have child porn findings on him or something? Surely, making this much of a fool of yourself in public hearings isn't worth a deputy secretary job!

gwendo-ash.bsky.social•69 days ago

People voted for these spineless pos?

yeetski.bsky.social•69 days ago

Mark Kelly voted for Trump’s nominee for Sec of the Army Monday night, just 72 hours after Trump fired Chair of JC, and 3 JAGS, all POC. He’s as spineless as the guy he’s questioning

therealpaulfox.bsky.social•69 days ago

Bro got interrupted from his nap to answer some questions. Also, from Wiki: In 2007, Feinberg told Cerberus shareholders, "If anyone at Cerberus has his picture in the paper and a picture of his apartment, we will do more than fire that person. We will kill him. The jail sentence will be worth it."
