Do your kids serve or are they at UVA? Your conjecture about the downfall of the United States is cute. That I don't let Republican political appointments disproportionately influence my life isn't being self absorbed, it's being grounded in reality.

Hegseth is like nominating my teenage son. They both are completely incompetent for the position.

Ah. Trump. Is he wearing a Hegseth disguise today? You're literally taking years off of your life by twisting yourself into knots over these uncontrollables. If Hegseth is confirmed what are you going to do about it? Why do you care? How will it change your everyday life? Seriously, get a grip.

I'm sitting in my sunroom soaking in the daylight and monitoring the markets.

I agree with this and pretty much think the joint chiefs will ignore his uninformed Fox News @$$.

And how are those doing after the hearing started?

Another person in this administration i wouldn’t even want to sit near at a work dinner. Just the worst, most disgusting people.

Bread Bags is on now pitching lobs at Hegseth

He is the picture of unqualified. Should he be confirmed, though, it hardly matters. Trump will fire him within a year at the outside, probably closer to a matter of months.

So many of Trump's selections are awful, but there is only one that is truly traitorous, and that is Gabbard. If the rest go through and they can stop her, then so be it. God help us if she ends up in her appointed position.

I most certainly clicked the right thread. Grievance culture is toxic to your health. People here have no control over the fate of Hegseth. Perseverating on his morals or qualifications gets nothing accomplished. This is performance art. Go for a walk.

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.

Yes, that is correct.

Hesgeth can say good things and make good points - that doesn't make him qualified or overcome his (many, significant) past issues.
