To think that Pete Hegseth will be in charge of a department that gets hundreds of billions of dollars a year. We need to know he will not mismanage these funds!!

The blinking….

How convenient

Hegseth is being very argumentative.

"Alarming" yep... very!

This is a carryover from the first term, where Trump bullied Comey out to get Wray, with Freeh’s boys at the NYC field office the consistent through line.

Reed earned the Ranger Tab and was a paratrooper. He served as a paratrooper in the 2nd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division where he was a platoon leader, company commander and battalion staff officer. He's the real deal, unlike the drunk rapist fake soldier Hegseth.

Nice! Sen. Reed doing his homework 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

oh theres lots of money in weapons payoffs

Normal humans would slink away in shame.

We are fcuked

I remember Kevin McCarthy having a smug smile like that right before he became speaker. Hegseth won't last long, I'd bet.

The tough guy couldn’t meet with the Dems because he was afraid he couldn’t answer their questions? This guy would have a finger on the nukes and a bottle of Jack Daniels in the other hand. He must not be confirmed! In fact, he should be called up to active duty and court martialed for his behavior

Why should he or any of them meet with Democrats? We all know the Republican capitulation is complete. They'll all vote to confirm in order to not piss off President Musk and Vice President Orange.

Rank partisanship is his life blood. That's why he was on FN. He is unqualified for #SecDef . He was nominated for the purpose of creating outrage, thus contributing to the chaos that is a defining characteristic of TFG's administration.

Another trump DEI (didn't earn it) hire.

Backpfeifengesicht, as the Germans say

Looks like he got a few Sunday punches already.

Saving my punch for McTurtle.

It seems to be a prerequisite for the orange buffoon's cabinet.

It's an increasingly list, mostly among magats, republicans, billionaire 'tech bros' & the president elect... 🤔 😏

💯 unacceptable

Especially Tammy Duckworth; this verifies he is a total ass.

Jack Reed said it loud and clear. What is there left to say except PASS!

POS.. period .. full stop.. he should not be in charge of anything 👹

He met the Orange King, that is all that matters

Will he DO anything about it? #ReleaseTheFBIreport

It’s the department of defense, you monster, not the department of war.

This is to me the biggest red flag! This is the language of totalitarianism.

The GOP banned bi-partisanship in 2017. Just ask Liz Cheney, Mit Romney, and others.

Someone feels rather nervous given the rapid eye blinking. It is it eyelid twitching from excess alcohol consumption? 🤔

He was too scared, poor guy.

I’m really liking Sen. Reed!

💯👍👇

I'm cynical, and all of this sound and fury is delightful to hear, but I am waiting for the other shoe to drop i.e. he gets confirmed anyway.

So odd that he failed to meet with the female democratic committee members.

Why does it look like Hegseth was told to just sit and take this tongue lashing, we're putting you through anyway?

Speaking the truth is a powerful thing. youtu.be/sgz1GurcliQ

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you!! Well said

Senator Reed- succinct and lethal in his assessment!

Dang it, how do you save a Skie? 😭

That unfortunately only appeals to the right and the Senators who fear them.

The thing that makes him one of the worst picks may actually save us because it's his ignorance of military bureaucracy that might keep him from getting all the bad stuff done he wants to do to the people in the military because the people that do know about it are surely getting ready for him.

You forgot the word, 'integrity' Reed.

Go Senator Reed.

Too bad they couldn’t have a hearing for Republican nominee because Trump fits all these characteristics.

A-f’ng-men!

A spine! Principles! A love of country!

I like this guy.

The Coleman and Waltz endorsements are pretty thin stuff

Neat final comment. I hope we will hear it again for other nominees.

Wow!

Ouch!

🔥

🔥🔥🔥

How are women stupid enough to marry these men?

Like all republicans they’re all sell out without any balls or rapist sickos

He'll blame the failed test on mouth wash.

Wow. Proud of Reed. Honest and sober feedback.

He should have concluded with "The most honorable thing you can do at this time is withdraw your nomination yourself."

true!

wondering the same.

Sen. Reed: "Unfortunately, you lack the character, composure, & competence to hold the position"

Sing it, soul sista! 🙌

How many times during these hearings would your last sentence be appropriate-I’m guessing almost all of them

Thank you @reed.senate.gov for asking the difficult questions and calling this bs all out. The American people are counting on you and senators like you with backbone

A GOP with a spine?? That is so rare.

Holding to account, Hegseth must not be confirmed!!

Clear, concise, brief. I love it

Solid words, I hope they make an impact.

Hear! Hear!

💯👍

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Someone stand up damn it!

The drunk Rapist job interview

His chick was smirking

I agree with the demonstrator!

Yeah, smile miss blonde

Well, they're not wrong....

Notice how he reaches for a drink when pressured?

Yes, that too!

Sometimes, all ppl can do is civil disobedience. There has got to be a better, less negative, word than demonstrator. How about American patriot?

The yt have a right to speak their mind.

Someone buy that man a Succulent Chinese Meal!

Love it. Keep disrupting. If we are going into darkness, not going quietly into that night.

That alone makes him overqualified by SOP standards.

Takes a swig of vodka

He is! He has told us he thinks women are less than and shouldn’t be able to be in the armed forces when they meet same standards.

I'd he swishing vodka????

We have to get those demonstrators out of there! They're clearly failing to show respect for a nominee to one of the most important posts in the U.S. government. 🤣 bsky.app/profile/patr...

Rep Coleman called Pete Hegseth almost supernaturally energetic. Yeah, alcohol will do that.

One of the glaring signs that he's not qualified is that he thinks he's qualified.

Everyone, pay attention how he takes each tiny sip. 😉👇

Did anyone check his drink? Is it gin?

The blonde lady behind him trying not to laugh….

Shout out to that Shout outer.

He should resign while he can. If he doesn't see the writing on the wall, he is super...

I can't believe Marge sat behind him all day and didn't open her stupid mouth once.

What’s the record for the number of hecklers during a single confirmation hearing?

The person protesting is correct.

We're not talking about a fart in church here. This freak is a gnat's ass away from the gutter and he doesn't have the brains, experience or character God promised a peanut.

More of that please!

Well someone had to say it.

What is it with his tongue when he goes to take a drink a few seconds in. Like he's genetically related to frogs and lizards. Yuck. 😋

@thechillquil.bsky.social here are the videos

Hey guys, I just want you to know that it means so much to me that a man did that. This is the behavior women need to see from men. Explaining to us that you're a good guy and not a misogynist doesn't work. This does. Actions not explanations.

Going swimmingly, I see.

You simply cannot use the word misogynist without acknowledging misandry. No one is questioning whether Hegseth fits the bill, he does. This word however is thrown around without an awareness.

We want the truth and nothing but the truth!

Hero. I Thank the protestors for being there and speaking up!

another demonstrator interrupts Hegseth's opening statement

📌

What an absolute fucking farce this country has turned into. Ancient Rome with it's fucking gladiators and daily atrocities had more dignity than men like this degenerate Nazi alcoholic!
