Unsure how to take this.
The only things that appear to worry Fox News employees are fake things, like the war on Christmas or trans women attacking people in the john.
Funny, though, that they were worried about his drinking, and not Jeanine Pino Grigio.
When Lindsey Graham is "very disturbed" by Hegseth's latest allegations, you know the end is very near.
Pete's nomination won't last 1 Scaramucci from today.
Traitor's circus is in full bloom, time for another nom to drop after cratering their own legacy.
No blackmail material here, of course Hegseth remembers all the women he tried to assault or assaulted and the rest of his drunken debauchery.
Pro tip, if you have to pay a woman to sign an NDA to keep your job, you got something to hide.
Unfortunately MAGA won’t care, it might even endear some of the TRUMPISTS more to him learning about his drinking issues. With Trump and MAGA chaos is the purpose and Hegseth is chaotic as hell
Some of them also criticized the large quantities of roofies he put in others’ drinks as well. He is just a crappy party guest, any way you slice it. 😏
SO, they’re STILL giving Hunter shit when he’s been sober for years and made his amends AND YET, they’re trying to push this guy through for defense secretary? Did I get that right?🤦🏽♀️
None of these guys need experience. Know why? Trump is gonna give them orders. They'll carry it out. That's it. 100% yes men and women. All they need to do is answer the phone when Trump calls.
Unfortunately they will use the “I was drunk” excuse when in reality they just want to control and abuse women. We have already seen his attitude about women in the military.
In regards to Mother Brain Trump and his MAGA Space Pirates: To hell with the natural order. No more kings. No more aristocrats.
Vive la Révolution!

With the incoming administration, gone are the days when high government positions require the highest form of vetting. This is shameful. A security guard is far more qualified than this guy!
His drinking and carousing doesn't bother me. In fact, I don't care at all about his personal and private life. Whatever he does, that's up to him and, as far as I'm concerned, it's none of my business.
I think being having an alcohol problem is pretty much entry level for Trump’s picks. Really Rape, corruption, Russian spying and the sex trafficking of Children are the only ways to his top tier.
These new revelations undermine his earlier claim about keeping his job at Fox News. Most companies, especially broadcasters who need to worry about public perceptions, have a morality clause in the contract. He had to have broken his ten ways to Sunday.
So Hunter Biden went through rehab, and Republicans wanted to throw him in prison for his crimes.
Hegseth needs rehab, and Republicans want to put him in charge of our defenses?
He should have been considered gone when he spoke of women not being on the front lines.
His history of abuse of women.
His history of drinking.
He should have been considered gone before we learned of his ugliness aimed at Muslims.
Hopefully, soon he will be pulling his nomination.
the point of this is ..the picks frump is makeing are the only people left WHO would work for him ..and qualified person would take a educated guess and find breaking the law ..isnt something they are willing to do

I’ll bet Janine Piro enjoyed the good company

That should tell us something.

I do care, however, about his Nazi leanings.
“He showed remorse”
“We forgive him”
“King David was flawed”
This is where we are.
To lead the Military.
Jesus Fucking Christ
Unbelievable.
Hegseth needs rehab, and Republicans want to put him in charge of our defenses?
Does anything else matter in magaland?
His history of abuse of women.
His history of drinking.
He should have been considered gone before we learned of his ugliness aimed at Muslims.
Hopefully, soon he will be pulling his nomination.
