A FBI background check on Hegseth, Kavanaugh style

[Billiejeens]

As long as Kaine doesn't bring up his "nephews".

The Dems are falling apart -
They choose Kaine to be outraged over Pete's "behavior"
The same guy who ran with Hilliary and apparently had no problem with slick willy's behavior.

Hilarious optics

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Okay… and? A president wants to fill positions.

How is that some unique evil? LOL

Hiring: The Trump regime.......
No experience.......No problem.

 

[Billiejeens]

Hiring: The Trump regime.......
No experience.......No problem.

Why do you think that we have a National election for President, Vice President, Cabinet, etc?

 

[Mr. Friscus]

Hiring: The Trump regime.......
No experience.......No problem.

You do realize there were multiple positions in Biden administration that had “no experience”… were you as critical of those selections?

Of course you weren’t.

And some departments need a shakeup from career politicians

What was Hegseth's rank again?

Less than six weeks ago, Ms. Ernst, a veteran with a reputation for being a principled leader on matters of sexual assault and the military, had voiced reservations about Mr. Hegseth.

But Mr. Trump’s hard-line backers paid for ads in Ms. Ernst’s home state, questioned her Republican bona fides on social media and even threatened to run primary challenges against her in 2026 to push her toward backing Mr. Hegseth as the nominee.

Several hours after the hearing ended, she announced her support for him on WHO Newsradio 1040, a radio station in Des Moines.

Four Takeaways From Hegseth’s Confirmation Hearing

President-elect Donald J. Trump’s pick for defense secretary said nothing that would alienate the Republican senators on the Armed Services Committee.

That is what succumbing to political pressure to save your job looks like. The entire Repub senate caucus has abdicated its responsibility to the country.

NOT the cabinet.
That's what the confirmation hearings are for.

Comer Commends President Trump for Reining in ...​

United States House Committee on Oversight and Accountability - (.gov)
https://oversight.house.gov › Press Releases
Oct 21, 2020 — James Comer (R-Ky.) today commended President Trump for signing an executive order to rein in the unelected, unaccountable federal workforce with policy-making ...

Then Trump hires them?

Like who?
And who was NOT confirmed by the senate?

 

[ColonelAngus]

Pete will be confirmed.

So glad to know Female Dem Senators are all for women being subjected to selective service.

EVERY PERSON WITH A VAGINA SHOULD REGISTER FOR SELECTIVE SERVICE AND BE DRAFTED FOR WAR IF THE NATION NEEDS THEM.

This logically follows what the Dems said yesterday….right?

We can defend the nation BETTER if women are not on the front lines.

Women and men are different, you ******* psycho lefties. Women should be in support roles, but not in foxholes in combat. Duh.

 

[SeaMajor7]

Even if you take out the allegations of drunkenness and sexual abuse and put Hegseth's resume in a pile with qualified candidates for the job, no one, absolutely no one, would mark his as worthy of someone to be called in for an interview. If he had been nominated by a Dem not a single Repub senator would vote for his confirmation.

Cry harder, loser.

Hiring: The Trump regime.......
No experience.......No problem.

Hegseth has plenty of experience as a Decorated Combat veteran.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Hegseth has plenty of experience as a Decorated Combat veteran.

WTF?

Yeah, as a combat veteran.
BFD..........when we get into combat, then he might qualify.

 

[berg80]

Hegseth has plenty of experience as a Decorated Combat veteran.

There are thousands of decorated combat vets. Nothing differentiates Hegseth from any of them other than his infidelities, his drunkenness, his failures to run the vets groups he was put in charge of, his misogynistic views on women. His sole "qualification" is being a second rate talking head on trump's favorite source of propaganda, Faux.

 

[SeaMajor7]

WTF?

Yeah, as a combat veteran.
BFD..........when we get into combat, then he might qualify.

You should go outside and touch some grass.
Get ahold of some reality for a while.
Are you OK, dOPey?

Poor SeaSwab...............
There isn't any reality in Trumplandia or his cult.

What's bad is they gotta have hardballs whizzing at 'em to do the right thing.
Good to know the home team IS playing hardball this time, though.
RINO traitors will be primaried. Enough of that hot garbage.
They've been playing controlled opposition for the corporations.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

The reality is that "you people" are going to "blindly" do whatever Trump wants at every turn. You do not even question anything.

It is all this

View attachment 1065791

That's ******* hilarious coming from YOU. You people are the ones that would ***** if Trump cured cancer...lol

You egghead's need to stop calling people "cultists" and "blind followers". It makes you look stupid.

Is there anything that Trump has ever done that you agree with?

Its sort of amusing how the party who gave us a Secretary of Transportation who was only chosen because of his sodomy habit, is now concerned about the "qualifications" of Pete Hegseth.

Buttigieg didn't have enough transportation qualifications to work as an uber driver, much less rule over the whole system, yet every D gave him their ok.

And now the D's wonder why they got schlonged in East Palestine.

 

[jc456]

Well, it doesn't matter. You'd think it would, but it doesn't.

This will probably be the most focused and targeted presidential administration in America's history. Not a discouraging word dared to be uttered by anyone to anyone, and total fealty to one (1) guy. Not really the point of the whole "balance of powers" thing, but what the hell. We're trying something new.

So strap in, embrace your inner nihilist, and we'll see how it goes!

That fking thing called that pesty constitution only requires one be a citizen to be SOD. here, this Senator will explain it for you.

 

[jc456]

Always so nasty and personal.

You don't know my politics, but don't let that stop you.

Yuck.

you don't know your own politics. You're a washing machine.
