Hegseth Hearing Live Now

Reminds me when my college ROTC son came home complaining about having to carry a female's rucksack in a training event. She was holding back the platoon. There may be a place for her in the military, but it would not be in ground combat.



Do we have a lot of US ground combat these days?

Anyone? Is this a done deal?

MAGA and their enablers don’t care. He could slaughter a small child on the ellipse and they’d still justify supporting this goon.

He has skirted questions about his drinking and extramarital affiars. He has limited experience in management and no experience with anything the size of the pentagon. It is such a sorry day that MAGAs feel this is appropriate leadership for our country.

When is the vote? Today?

Hope someone has the number to his burner phone so old Pete can still be reached at strip clubs and his girlfriend's apartment to approve a nuclear strike.

Tim Kaine got a few good hits in.

Honestly, his lack of experience and vocal protests about women in the military make him unfit. The fact he cheated on his wife or has a drinking problem aren’t relevant. I think Patel and Gabbard are bigger threats to America than Hegseth.

It all makes him unfit. A cheating drunkard is a great blackmail target for foreign governments, among other issues.

Talk about them having lost the plot.

All Trump voters are similarly afflicted.

How is the drinking problem not relevant? It’s relevant for any job with any responsibility more than stocking shelves. Certainly relevant where the exercise of good judgment is the primary skill.

Why doesn’t someone following his illogical comments to the end.

On the one hand women in the military are amazing and capable. On the other he states his negative comments about them are in relation to standards. Since we use standards for recruitment, promotion, evaluation, either they are high enough to find and produce amazing and capable military women or their not and thus the people serving are not amazing and capable. Which does he believe? Or does he just think we’re consistently lucky?

The cheating and drinking are also relevant. Lack of character, doesn’t honor commitments, lack self-control, and his addiction to alcohol makes him easy to bribe. Any mid-grade officer up for a leadership
position with these issues publicly known would be passed over.

You know who's loving this? China. They're really getting a kick out of our dysfunctional government and lack of principles.

Russia, North Korea and Iran also approve.

I don't think anybody as unqualified, incompetent, and morally bankrupt has ever been nominated for a cabinet position. It could be interesting viewing.


It's only interesting if watching GOP senators ask softball questions. Members of the committee are not allowed access to the FBI report on Hegseth. A complete whitewash.
