“I don’t expect any candidate to check every single box,” said Senator Mark Kelly, retired astronaut and Navy captain who is on the committee. “But he doesn’t seem to check any boxes.”

It’s Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing week in Washington. I wrote about how the senators in charge of vetting him are viewing the task ahead of them: nymag.com/intelligence...

Whew. I held my breath for that first sentence.

Same. Freaked me out a bit.

Now watch how the legacy media instantly turns this into a both-sides contest where they can do sports coverage. Instead of pounding on how horribly unqualified he is, they will present it as:
"Republicans" say this.
Democrats say this.
Here's what our latest poll says...

Etc., etc., etc...

The only box he checks is PREDATOR which is how he got trusted to be in line for the position by fellow predators.

But look at that American flag pocket square. That's just gotta check a box or two.

He was picked by Trump because if Donnie wants to use the military to attack blue states the only question he’ll ask is if he can use nukes.

Evil bastard.

SURPRISE! President Alzheimers has assembled the cast of the final season of "The Apprentice, Who Cares If The USA Ends In The Shitter"

Well he certainly checks the ASSHOLE box.

A test.

As was Gaetz.

Your turd of a first choice gets pushed out and denied, then anything after them looks angelic by comparison.

Exceptionally well done article. Hegseth is personally unfit and professionally unqualified to serve as Secretary of Defense. @SenMarkKelly: We're expecting your very best work to dislodge this nomination. Our troops and our country deserve so much better.

Rapist
Liar
Ignorant

Big tittied alcoholic rapist bimbo: check ✔️

Check the bottle label first, Kelly.

If they can't even check every box, how the hell are they going to legislate on the multitude of complicated issues in today's world.

I think Pete drew little confederate flags in this boxes.

dystopiabarbie.bsky.social•63 days ago

What does anyone expect from this insanity? There is no principled leadership in DC anymore, let alone rule of law.
All these rags pretending otherwise is just theatre.
we are in deep trouble.

The box he checks is the one that the picture of him does the heavy lifting for - he *looks* like a guy central casting would send over for a military character, plus he played one on Fox. Pictures of him should make him look like the drunk, unqualified sexual assaulter he is.

Cut of his jib, Trump's test for everything

rae4hope.bsky.social•61 days ago

Amen to that

willa-oczki.bsky.social•62 days ago

Sen Mark Kelly just kicked Hegeth's butt like no else has done so far. The looks on Pete's supporters behind him went completely scared silent. When Senator Kelly speaks, everyone listens & everyone pipes down their BS too.👏
