What would I ask? "What was your analysis of the Houthi Bombing in October? What counsel would you give POTUS regarding next actions?"
"What should the US strategy be in Syria ?" " How would you counter Chinese aggression on the south China Sea ?"
"How would you assure civilian oversight of DOD"

Those are the right questions in a rational world.
We have an entire congress of petty, tribal, self-serving people.
Dems haven’t learned that their strategy of exposing bad behavior doesn’t work- half the country doesn’t care.
Repubs gave up all integrity Jan 6- power at any price
I get annoyed at people blaming this situation on the Dems. A lot of the blamers are trolls and phonies. Burned coming and going.
He offered 3 they weren’t in ASENA at all
And didn’t know how many nations made up the group
He there because he Will obey Trump
Which is the same reason the all the GOP senators will vote for him

1. He knows it all already, so won’t be seeking out advice.
2. He doesn’t deal with “hypotheticals”, yet as DefSec his whole life should be workshopping hypotheticals.
🤦♂️🤷♂️
Qualifications just don't matter.
It's about spite and not being accountable.
Only two years until we can replace some of these people that we can not seem to hold into account.
I can’t watch.
I can’t listen.
I’m trying to stay positive. It’s not working.
Your attempt to cast shadows over light has failed 🔥
I’m try not to give in to the bubbling rage.
They are VERY good questions under normal circumstances.
But quals don’t matter in the new world order. The questions never mattered.
Why don’t you announce a run for the presidency now and give us three years to get you elected?
Or…
“What’s your Grindr profile name?”
Or…
“Are all of your white power tattoos spelled/drawn correctly?”
“Who’d you rather sleep with Joey or Ross?” “Red or blue?” “Grindr or Rent Boys?”
We have to start running democrat's that will take something more than a rehearsed talking point to a gun fight.
I thought most of those republicans were into boys.
Also hoping Michigan's own Gretchen Whitmer will accent the ranks once her term is done.
That's what happens when business try to run politics.
They are largely ignorant of the world outside of their interests. Like Sherlock Holmes didn't need a round Earth for his line of work, they don't need to known who ASEAN is.
but what if it doesn't matter that Hegseth has no clue about who or where OSEAN is?

It’s impossible.
Thank you, Mark Cuban for in depth, specific questions!
Please continue posting some for the others, orange blob's chosen blobettes. As each one faces their upcoming hearing, hopefully senators will take heed and ask some well thought out questions you pose. Not enough of that happened yesterday.
If a legal immigrant is serving in the US military, will you contact ICE? what if that soldier is highly decorated? and if it's a female, what will or would you do?
lets see you do 47 push-ups 5x.
how many rounds will $900B buy?
Ass kisser is right.
What is your stance on Israeli settlements in Gaza & the West Bank?
We need a movement of truth sayers. We all need to be truth sayers of facts explained like a 4th grader & engaging enough to be consumed & shared.
We need to platform those who are already doing this.
Do not be subjugated.
Revolt Rebel Retaliate
We need to simplify, amplify, multiply, repeat. All of us.
**D E S P I S E🖕🏼🤬🖕🏼‼️**
Under what conditions would you tell your Orange boss “no?”
These questions don’t matter. The Orange ring is being sucked by each one of these spineless MAGAts in Congress.
I remember when Republicans would've been horrified by this fact. Now they just summon Jesus and use "His forgiveness" to call us assholes. These are in no way serious people.

There go your 1st Amendment rights.
And everything on his resume?
I don’t believe Ernst was ever on the fence, that was to make it look like she was vetting him. She was always going to support Trump. She should get help, she’s a rape surviver voting for an accused rapist, nominated by a sexual predator. Sick.
Years and years and years of white support turned on logic
WTF Mark
Welcome to the new world
Trumps world
Job / position before country.
Here are 10 we found in a few hours....."
Then ask specifics.
"How many nuclear warheads doed the US possess and what is the largest?"
Etc.
can someone please look in to this.
Despicable
Entitled
Idiot
1. Make Trump happy
2. Keep my seat
10. Protect my country
None are patriots-ZERO
Hegseth's ignorance & cluelessness about foreign affairs is damning, exposing how dangerous? @warren.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @atrupar.com @cnn.com

This point seemed abundantly clear as so many of the questions showed but I’m not sure it will be enough to keep this abusive psychotic buffoon out
The Dems need to learn that sexual assault is no longer a disqualifying offense, it's a job requirement for the GOP.
He is NOT qualified to do anything but wear a KKK hood and burn crosses!..
Don’t bet to influence the decision. The cowardly spineless ring kissers have already decided to lay down and abandon the American people
The MAGA people, however, applaud his other features:
Total fealty to Trump
Misogyny
Toxic behavior
Pledge to eliminate "wokeness"
Whit Christian nationalist leanings
Fox News work experience
Probably with even more enthusiasm...
We should stop pretending it does.
They ALWAYS take the bait. And therefore don’t address the real weakness the loyalists are afraid of
Then Joni said she’s a yes.
Nothing else matters except the votes to confirm.
The pressure and threats and money spent to make republicans toe the line - all that?
They’ve got big plans - and Hegseth is going to be a keystone in those plans.
A veritable flood of these were called for.
Maybe it's too late to sink Pete H, but there's going to be a steady stream of incompetence in trump's picks.
✅️ Has Kompromat
✅️ Will uphold white supremacy
Like when I asked someone who isn't a gardener to do yard cleanup. They basically ripped out everything and left me with a moonscape.
They are a bunch of pussies.
He’s a Christian Nationalist. If he’s confirmed, they need to install a breathalyzer to enter his Pentagon office.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is an inter-governmental international organization, comprised of Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos, Brunei, Thailand, Myanmar, the Philippines, Cambodia, Singapore and Malaysia.
The point is that he should have known the answer to that question.
WE ARE SLEEP WALKING INTO A FASCIST REGIME!

Maybe that’s the plan for our defense budget?
A huge defense budget is a good thing?
Global warming is exponential
Nuclear winter can cool us all
Also, can't tell if you're joking about the nuclear winter lol
If this decade has taught us anything, it's that history rhymes. Governments don't last forever, whether good or bad. We just happened to get stuck in one of the bad ones. 😩
And with the scotus even IF someone were to say something - trump is protected by Leonard Leo’s Supreme Court.
It's just how they know to do business.
Crypto, real estate, shell companies, & bankruptcies are all used in money laundering schemes. Sound familiar?
😂😂😂😂
I ask because it is concerning looking forward.
Nice thought, but most of the country is not watching, those watching wouldn't know what you are talking about because we have collectively been dumbed down or have no time to educate ourselves, and Republicans would without question approve any of Trump's offspring if he told them to.
Someone should have asked the rapid strategic questions- but first, you realize that drinking is one thing when your job reading lines on a teleprompter and quite another when at 3am and have to advise the president- and your not knowing the forces, alliances, geography, countries, diplomatic …
Are you sure you don't want to rethink your decision about getting into Politics? Our Country definitely NEEDS you!!!
He kissed trumps a** so he’s “qualified”!
I don’t know whether I’d be more worried that he’d say let’s like warrior their asses off and drop a couple nukes … or, fuck it who cares it’s called the South China Sea, right?
