I really hope not, someone who has an iron cross tattoo and who gets drunk and chants “kill all Muslims” in between raping people shouldn’t be in charge of our national defense. I can’t believe that has to be said!
If Hegseth doesn’t get the job, it’ll be because other, drastically worse things (finally) come to light. My guess… there’s video of him eating the dogs, eating the cats that Kristi Noem shot for target practice.
I'm not sure he's the worst possible nominee. Is an incompetent stupid person likely to do more or less damage than a more competent smart person with the same ideology and fealty?
You need 4 republican defectors which hives Murkowski , Collins and Ernst from Iowa outs Bit the rest of them will fall in line is my lousy prediction unless someone CEOs Hegseth😂😂🤘🤘🤘
Sadly yes. He is an awful, terrible person and the thing media and the senate are focused on is his drinking. Once again proving it’s ok to be racist and misogynistic. They won’t bat an eye.
I hope not - having treated rape victims for PTSD as a counselor. NO - NO and NO. As for him being an alcoholic - that is a tough row to hoe. Full of rocks. In doing my counseling degree - did one quarter in an drug rehab hospital. Crazy!
Michael Cohen says the same thing, but this is why we have checks and balances. Advice and consent of the Senate is one of those checks and balances. Please, on't dismiss it.
Other than being an OBVIOUS Russian Agent, he has all the qualities today's Republican Party looks for in a nominee. Bonus Points for being on Fox and Friends.
You forgot steals donated funds for personal use. That to me is even bigger. The military personnel could try to fend for themselves, but the funds available to the armed services would be way too tempting for such a big toddler.
I would have listed all of Hegseth's shortcomings, unfortunately the 300 character limit limited me to the ones I listed. Even a 3,000 character limit would be too little. There aren't enough characters to list all of the issues with a despicable monster who has such poor character
I don’t think it matters. Another idea is he’s throwing these people out as his “first choice” knowing how much pushback they’ll get so they confirm his “2nd choice” which hasn’t been a much better option.
Sadly, it seems that vacuous non-entities, devoid of any coherent beliefs, can be promoted by super wealthy sociopaths as foils to further their megalomania.
My head hurts 🤕 now.
In Irish, wtf! These guys are Gobshites!
Keep calling them out.

My brain says no way but, Republicans can do whatever. Remember even if you have a Republican senator BUG THE SHIT out of them. They get retirees calling all the time. Flood their emails and voicemails with your objections. Have your friends do it.
Yup. They are being threatened with being primaried. So, they will give in. No one wants to be "the one". I give it 6 months before there's a sexual harassment charge or drunk episode.
If Hegseth is “the best” the orange one can get then the Pentagon is in serious trouble. The guy just doesn’t have the right qualifications for this job.
It's been kinda funny to see that drunken bison careening through the Pentagon with his mom chasing after him. Hard to gauge what other countries would think. The nicer ones might look down their noses. Probably it's a no, but the choices are all going to be awful.
I sincerely hope not. How can we as a moral society continue to give these screw ups more leniency? Whatever happened to accountability for your actions?
I predict (and hope) he'll withdraw before it goes to a vote. However, if it goes to a vote, then yes - they will confirm him. Anyone and everyone whose nomination goes to a vote will be confirmed.
No. The nomination of Hegseth is 100% the Trump brat testing the fealty of his sycophants.
I think some congressional Republicans are sane enough to reject Trump’s insanity. 2026 is coming, and they know better than the public how diminished Trump is and the criminal vultures that circle him.
One would hope not, but experience has taught us that, without the fundamental underpinning of shame and application of pressure on the right areas, you can do almost anything in Trumps America!
I had thought that about Gaetz for a while. But allowing himself to be publicly defeated like that is out of character for Trump. I think it's more likely that the Hegseth nomination was just a mistake, not 4D chess.
Dunno why people forget that he’s as stupid as he is malicious. Like we haven’t all been watching him fuck up for a decade. He’s only where he is because he’s God’s favorite asshole.
So true, but not so much favoured by God, rather the only thing for evil to prevail is good people do nothing, that’s the 58 million voted for him and the however many million who sat on the sidelines
Yeah. The mistake I frequently make when evaluating what Trump does, is thinking of why a rational person would take that action. I have to remind myself that Trump behaves more like a wild animal.
I like your optimism, but emailing MAGA politicians is pointless. They don't listen or care. Look what Missouri is doing in response to the ballot initiative that passed.
I'd say it's beyond it not mattering. It seems to be a preference that someone assaults a woman or girl. They just don't like the public finding out about it part.
I strongly disagree. Hegseth's track record on issues like LGBTQ+ rights and women's reproductive health is concerning. He's not qualified to lead the DoD.
Nah. There has to be at least 4 US Senators (Republicans) who don't want a drunk responsible for our military readiness and for the men and women who serve. There are a ton of right wing kooks who can do this job without being unqualified drunk rapists.
If a 34 time felon, rapist and traitor can become POTUS, a drunk and womanizer can become Secretary of Defense. Our politics is just gross right now. No morals or ethics whatsoever.
Unless they have a political death wish, no he won't pass. Midterms in two years so I doubt some people are ready to lose in those purple districts and states by supporting a rapist
The problem is that you and I think about these things logically. Strip away all logic, and add in a pinch of indifference and righteous indignation. Then you will better understand their position. It's all about "owning the libs" not furthering a coherent agenda.
No don't think so. Hesgeth has already become a joke and a meme. I think some of Trump's cabinet "picks" are 1) Reward for blind loyalty in the past, and 2) Trump playing provocateur knowing all along they won't make the final roster.
No, but I would like to see reporters ask him or anyone who feigns to support him what uniquely or particularly actually qualifies him for the position?
Initially the map seemed much more favorable to Republicans, however there are several things that could make it significantly more difficult for them than they thought.
He advocates for civil war. He said that conservatives must "mock, humiliate, intimidate, and crush our leftist opponents" and to "attack first" to deal with a left he equates with "sedition". His book "lays out the strategy we must employ in order to defeat America's internal enemies".
I know its all a mistake and not 4d chess brain weaving. The idiot is just picking people from Florida or people from FOX. He is a monkey throwing poo and sniffing his own finger

I think it boils down to whether or not Trump will trust a drunk to lead the DoD.
If Hegseth doesn’t get the job, it’ll be because other, drastically worse things (finally) come to light. My guess… there’s video of him eating the dogs, eating the cats that Kristi Noem shot for target practice.
It’s the George Santos podcast live from prison for him.
- Unqualified: Check
- Complete Imbecile: Check
- Drunkard: Check
- Racist: Check
- Belligerent: Check

Farming families were the Hegseth "Men".

I said Don the Con would not win.
Nothing makes sense anymore.
Gotta do it to get a State job. Cabinet position is a MUST
The destruction has been planned to take place from within.
Just take a look at Kavanaugh for an example of how little Republicans care about concepts like "integrity".
It ranks at effectively zero priority for them.
If someone loved that guy, he'd have had an intervention by now.
He in background rotating in replacement while playing the scene
- ah, same mode operation he uses for his marriages.

Everybody email your senators
I think he gets encouraged to drop out and High Healed Ron is announced at the same time.
This also may be mostly wishful thinking due to how flawed Hegseth is in so many ways
TOTALLY UNFIT AND UNQUALIFIED‼️
I've said it before they put up some of the worst nominations so that other still terrible nominations wouldn't seem so bad, and might get approved.
Initially the map seemed much more favorable to Republicans, however there are several things that could make it significantly more difficult for them than they thought.
Nominations like this could hurt.
