Hegseth is in

[cnm]

They love the tenants of Socialism and Communism in theory, but when asked to put up or shut up and move, they cower in fear.

I can guarantee I wouldn't move to the US. Why on earth would I?

Or China for that matter.

 

[cnm]

Yup - but isn't that what Democracy is supposed to be about? - representatives representing their constituencies opinion and wishes.

Or, Oh my God, are you saying that Representatives do not give a shit about their constituencies wants

I thought it was about fulfilling the platform upon which one was elected.

Oh well.

While essentially no one has a resume that qualifies them to be Secretary of Defense*, it should be sufficient to have someone who intimately understands how the Armed Forces works (or is supposed to work), and is intelligent and articulate enough to explain that. And of course, the President's judgment should prevail over differing opinions in the Senate.

The slanders against Hegseth are more disgraceful to those who raise them than to Hegseth himself.

He will be the best SecDef in the past fifty years.

The buyer remorse will be a feature of this administration.

so the dems did the same shit when their guy was being grilled...

Putting your unproven allegation aside, I don't recall any Dem nominees being asked questions about their serial sexual abuse or whether they planned to carry out the pre-announced plans to use the power of the DoJ to go after people on an enemies list.

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

Still trying to figure out how Rubio got a unanimous.

Because he's one of them. While he has clashed with his Democrat rivals in the Senate, he's done nothing to provoke outrage or scandal. There's nothing to pin on him.
He's totally unqualified for the job..but then again, so was Rex Tillerson.

I'm not sure I'd count my Votes before they're hatched.

Some squishy Deep State "Republicans" (Mitch the Bitch?) might vote against Pete on the final vote. I could see him saying, "Yeah, I just wanted him to have a full floor vote" while he's back-stabbing the Party and the Country.

dimocrap scum WANT the Military. They have so many other cogs under their control, if they can get the Military, it's all over.

Pete won't let that happen, it's why they're using their usual "Unconfirmed Sources" to stop him. They'll us whatever they can to stop him.

The Deep State isn't just dimocrap scum. We've got a few in our Party as well.

This might be McConnell's parting shot, his final "Fuck You!" to the Country on his way out. We'll know in a few hours.

We can lose one vote and have JD break the tie. We already lost the Two Skanks. dimocrap scum need one more besides those two douchebags and Mitch.

Who will it be? Anybody?? Nobody???

berg you are to far gone ....lol....you would not remember anything unless it has to do with your demon trump...

 

[marvin martian]

What we've learned from the nomination hearings thus far is the nominees have been coached to refuse to answer any pertinent, direct questions from Dems while Repubs pitch them softballs and platitudes.

I loved the "pertinent" question Pam Bondi was asked by one of the Democrat senators, about whether she ever sexually assaulted anyone.

You people suck.

What about when the prez's judgement results in him picking a guy he watches on a TV station spewing lies? And he picks the guy cuz he likes the lies? Even though he's an incompetent drunk who abuses women.

One of the biggest farces is trump's assertion we will shift to being a meritocracy. This from someone who lost $1B by being a stable genius.

 

[Oddball]

Damn...that bar is really, really, low.
And I think they just dug a hole to lower it more.

Speaking of the bar being really low.....

This thread will be closed due to it being accurate and showing dimocraps for who they are

 

[struth]

Imagine being a foreign nation in security agreements with the US, however loose.

China's looking better more stable all the time.

this seems to be the view of a lot of demafascist.

Can you give me an example of this happening?

Fetterman's body double might make Vance unnecessary.

Nice photoshopping..erm...make that..LAME.

But any of these would be head and shoulders above Hegseth.

 

[ThisIsMe]

It will be the same grandstanding by the Democrats repeating their prepared statements and not asking any relevant questions, at which point they will be embarrassed and lose the vote.

But it's going to be fun to watch

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I find no pleasure in watching Democrats embarrass themselves. Your mileage may vary, if that is what floats your boat.

Democrats are asking questions, they are refusing to answer or generally answering another question. Prepped answer response..

But this to Democrats is the gift that will keep on giving politically...
Democrats have to pin every decision this guys make on Trump... Trump is going to do everything he can to wash his hands of them when they turn out to be screw ups..
So Democrats have to get Trump to own them now..
