They did. They like rapists. A rapist, especially a drunk one, who have no problems following an illegal order to turn the US military against US citizens.
So republicans voted to put a shit drunk lying abuser in charge of our massive military. Wonder how that makes America great again. Sounds more like we are giving a POS fucktwat felon magat nazi insurrectionist the key to his own personal military, which he will use against us, the American people.
They better not! I've got family in Illinois, West Virginia, Ohio, New Jersey, Iowa, MA, and more. If they confirm that slosh, all bets are off. He's an insult to hard-working Americans, like my farmer relatives who drink nothing more than Coca-Cola.
They want to imply that every woman and minority is a DEI hire lacking skills for the job, while hiring every drunk sexual predator w/zero skills because he’s white.
And...they did. I really don't care about his personal foibles. The man is uniquely unqualified to lead the most lethal fighting force in global history. But here we are.
To be exquisitely fair and historically accurate, it’s not like it’s the first time, it’s just the first time they’ve had to do it when it when they couldn’t say they had no idea what he’s done.
All 3 LDS Senators voted for the drunk rapist. The Church thats against drinking booze, states rape is a heinous, & actively supported women getting the vote went for King Noah Trump over church beliefs. Hegstead believes women should shut up. (Tell this to the Relief Society Pres Curtis Crapo & Lee
I don’t know what’s worse: the fact that Trump nominated him or that Hegseth is arrogant enough to believe he can do the job. It’s astonishing on so many levels.
It may mean half the military, including high ranking officers, to defy orders/threaten to quit and some very bad things happening to our country for people to start turning on Trump. I hope it happens swiftly and I hope the damage is reversible. I worry it may not be, at least not for generations.
Well, did they figure out how many drinks he has every day including weekends. We typically drink more on the weekends. Because, I’m gonna have to triple that shit. I’m gonna have to get drunk airport rules every day.
They're voting to please the Toddler-in-Chief. The GOP senators could give a shit about having a qualified Secretary of Defense but they worry about having the vindictive Toddler-in-Chief upset with them.
I have two words for 50 members voting yes: FUCKING COWARDS! Vance, too, but his vote was expected. I hate all of them. They are the worse form of humans.
50-50 Vance will break. This is a terrible precedent for the equally bad candidates to come. GOP senators shld be ashamed. Need to hv opposition candidates for those senators up for reelection in 2026 ready NOW
They’ve put them in the Supreme Court and the presidency, so what’s a few more places? America is indeed a failure to our women and girls, and so much more with these men in charge. Pathetic.
If they're willing to let this crazy guy lead the Pentagon, Democrats could as well arm themselves of common sense and urge the Pentagon to put Trump in jail.
Did you know, Democracy has the right to defend itself?
There's no place for a Kakistocracy or a self-proclaimed dictator in America
Correction - Republicans are voting to put an alleged rapist alcoholic in as Secretary of Defense. There will not be one vote from a Democratic Senator. Also, by the time I’m done with this reply…it will be a done deal. God help our troops…
What a bunch of spineless and self serving congress Republicans. Only two who showed they are ethical. Now the “peace through strength” agenda and new regime are underway.
Hello Mueller, She Wrote! I hope you are having a great Friday. I'm Zach Kahn, and I am a 17-year-old high schooler from NC. I wrote an article about the US Government's objectionable sale of Vapes, and I would love for you to check it out!
Pete Hegseth just got confirmed as SECDEF. A new low for America that will probably last until later tonight when the next evil action is thrust upon us. 🤦♂️ Time for a revolution folks, nobody else will save us. Thank god for 2A.
THAT Republican Majority Senate will vote to confirm. They need a puppet to do their bidding without regard to duty to the office. Defense contracts sold to oligarchs is 1 of the biggest prizes a Hegeseth DoD can get done beside all the intelligence that can be sold.
Dems took wrong angle. He was massively unqualified. Yes the sexual abuse was awful however he just kept saying anonymous smears. There was no way to defend his record on his experience. I felt this was a misstep.
What kind of shit hole country confirms a woefully unqualified alleged rapist with a drinking problem and history of domestic violence as Defense Secretary?
