The GOP is close to fulfilling their dream in my lifetime of drowning government in a bathtub. It has taken Reagan, Bush 1, Bush 2, Trump 1, plus COVID combined with Russian disinformation —and they have no plan. This guy is evidence of that.
To be fair, America’s defense and foreign policies and actions appear to have been run by drunks for the last 70 years or more anyways. Will we spot the difference.
@POTUS we are calling on you to publish the ERA now! You have the authority, responsibility, and opportunity to certify this critical protection ahead of the Trump admin. Let the ERA be your legacy. #BidenPublishTheERA #ERANow
You know, this is the typical Trump effect - he could have gone on for years quietly as a tv host and maybe this all never gets out. But nooo, he gets sucked into his orbit and all this shadowy stuff comes to light.
Dennis Miller, back when he was funny, had a joke about a member of Guns n Roses getting kicked out of the group: just what does it take to get kicked out of Guns n Roses? Not returning the Tupperware after the last orgy?
Same logic applies to standing out at Fox for being a degenerate.
Imagine a delicate situation involving Iran or Syria North Korea and Hegseth staggers into the situation room and declares war against ...well he can't remember who but somebody.
The absolute arrogance of politicians, and I mean at least 75% of them, YES YOU! To think they can live the life of an absolute scoundrel and that society will just look the other way when their name is in the spotlight!! And shame, SHAME on ALL those who knew and said nothing.
Every single person who has come forward with evidence of Hegseth's complete lack of fitness to lead the DOD is a Republican. But watch the dumb MAGAts still claim there is a "deep state" conspiracy against him.
Are there any moderate republicans anymore? To be fair I don't think they exist as the majority of Dems (at least in congress) are centre right, which is what the rest of the world would call moderate, maybe that coal guzzling dick Manchin? The Russian asset Kyrsten Semolina I guess is out
24/7 job, routinely called in the middle of the night, needing to work 12-16-24 hours straight in a crisis. Not the job for a drunk, an alcoholic who is more concerned with a drink and sexual affairs than keeping 330m Americans safe.
Poster boy for all trump's MAGA cabinet canadates. Unqualified, Unhinged, and United in distroying our country on behalf of the wanabe dictator's retribution
Honestly I don't know what is more disturbing , the fact that people voted for Trump or the clowns he is assembling to run a very large economy. My guess is America is about to become poorer than they ever thought possible... sad
This is disqualifying to work retail or fast food. Hegseth could never get security clearance, and we want to entrust him with our top defense secrets?
Go post on your outrage on your Senators’ social media!!
Stop.
Yes, Hegseth is reprehensible, and should not be confirmed. Same for the rest of the idiotic nominees.
And when the current slate of nominees gets rejected, there will be a new slate just as idiotic as the first.
But here’s the thing we need to hammer home - Trump is unstable and unfit.
I think he does reprehensible on purpose, knowing they will be dropped; then he nominates what would’ve been reprehensible but comparatively speaking is far better…by which I mean at least a shred of qualifications. That candidate sails through as a result.
Yes!
It’s all performance. Entertainment for his MAGA.
He will do anything to dominate the news cycle every minute of every day.
Narcissistic sociopath.
😑
I know we are not supposed to judge books by the cover, but I mean, look at his guy...most women would definitely cover their drinks just from blind intuitions
I'm disappointed in the lack of accountability and transparency from Fox News. It's concerning that Hegseth's behavior was allowed to continue despite being a public figure.
trump has been committing crimes since the 70's. He's been involved in over 3500 lawsuits. He's been convicted of 34 felonies and is an adjudicated a rapist.
A pick with a drinking problem are small potatoes in today's American political atmosphere.
Nothing will come of it...
Isn’t this story really about Trump and how he disrespects the military and the American people by nominating these kind of losers? It feels like so much of the media is missing the lead.
Trump won’t pull the plug because he will not admit that he picked a bad candidate. He has not yet admitted Gaetz was a bad choice. Eventually Hegseth will withdraw and Trump will say he would have been a good choice but the leftist media did a witch hunt on him. And immediately pick someone new.
Functioning alcoholic! There is no way this guy is able to oversee 880+ billion budget, but most importantly he doesn’t have the respect from the military! And that’s much bigger problem
Let me ask you a question, why are Dems fighting these nominations? The entire Department of Defense, FBI, and CIA didn’t protect us from a Putin takeover. It’s seems to me they deserve these people.
Fox News sure can find the finest sexual predators money can buy.
Now can't they.
We're just few more days away from NY lawyer calling a press conference to announce another lawsuit against Fox News for sexual harassment.
My question is, how many Republicans, if any, will show some spine of steel to reject Hegseth, the worm brain and the other insane appointments? Or will they call for some kind of recess until after Jan 20 and just let the dictator take over.
Trump is incompetent and he chooses incompetents. Voters have very short memories of the hellish 4 years with Orange Hitler. It’s going to be worse. Decent people won’t work for him.
Pretty sure Mango Mussolini's first picks won't go through, his backups are probably worse and don't have the batshit backgrounds, he's not smart, but ̶ ̶G̶o̶e̶b̶b̶a̶l̶s̶ Miller and ̶H̶i̶m̶m̶l̶e̶r̶ Stone are smarter than him, but only just
A philanderer, strippers, has an addiction, anyone checked to see if he bought a gun and lied on the form? Has be paid all his taxes? Are there any dick pics for the MAGAs to peruse?
I think a lot of Trump's "best and brightest" will find out how Trump destroys those around him. Who benefits when their worst mistakes and failings are paraded on the national news? I wouldn't have hired any of them when I owned my company.
Allot of these Trump nominees don't seem like they can pass the usual security checks. The big, quiet story is about how and why the appointments are still being allowed to go forward. Who's not doing their job, and why aren't they doing it?
You mean to tell me, the guy who’s own MOM rolled him over because he’s a doodoo bird, defaced his college diploma and gets drunk and screams “Kill all Muslims!!”, is in fact, NOT, a swell fella?..
Oh yeah that whole sexual predator towards Women thing, again.
One of the biggest problems in the armed forces is alcohol and alcohol abuse. I don't think Hegseth is the man for this job because of the awful example he would set.
Jeez what a shock djt selects a person with alcohol issues and a history of abusing women to run the defense department. His major preparation for the job was as a fox news contributor. Crazy four years coming
Tim Parlatore, a lawyer for Hegseth, responded: “We’re not going to comment on outlandish claims laundered through The New Yorker by a petty and jealous disgruntled former associate of Mr. Hegseth’s. Get back to us when you try your first attempt at actual journalism.

You like drinking so much Pete how about a nice glass of bleach?
Another Trump transition team spokesperson said, "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" 🤪
isn’t the right fit
There are countless more qualified and appropriate picks.

We go higher doesn’t work. It’s time we got down and fought the same way they do. Enough decorum! it’s losing us elections.
A pick with a drinking problem are small potatoes in today's American political atmosphere.
Nothing will come of it...
But if this guy is Trump's first choice, how much lower into the political chum bucket is he going to have to go to find the next one? 🙄
Allegedly?
Now can't they.

WITH HEGSETH
MAKE SURE TO SMELL

Imagine what's gonna come out in the next month about sock boy.
Oh yeah that whole sexual predator towards Women thing, again.
I sense a common theme…
show this asshole the exit.
Jfc this guy.
He isn’t worthy of directing a Drone.
All soldiers deserve the respect afforded them. All.
Getting back to you.
