We are so screwed Time to kiss our asses goodbye

But seriously, though, at this point, aren't these cabinet picks just pretty spokespeople and fall guys for MAGA? I feel that they will treacherous individuals actually running things behind the scene. Am I alone on this?

👍👍🏼👍🏻👍🏽👍🏿👍🏾

All they have to do is offer him a Gin and, tonic, and he’s theirs for keeps😬

Is there a point where standards plunge to such depths that blackmail becomes functionally impossible? Hypothetically?

💰 bank on it 💰

Anybody with an ounce of integrity knows this. The GOP is looking for inexperienced followers who will ignore the law & enjoy Hegseth’s dirt, wink at the criminal activity, promote the privileged escapee from accountability they all enjoy.

She's doing as well as anyone in the Senate, but why is this the issue? Hegseth is in no way even remotely qualified for the job. The story should mostly be about Senate R's willingness to go along with an utterly unqualified nominee for arguably second most powerful job in the world.

We already have the dirt. The Senate confirmation hearing proved that the GOP embraced the dirt, winked at the criminal activity, promoted the privileged escape from accountability they all enjoy.

I think she’s absolutely right. Plus he’s a jackwad.

Can he get a security clearance?

She's missing the point: Hegspeth and Rump don't CARE if it's a good or bad mission! Rump wants a toady; none of the GOP has thought as far as competent leadership - clearly.

youtu.be/lIt-UDtpmig?...

I agree! 👍💙

I don't think he's vulnerable to our enemies, he is our enemy. He's already more than willing to climb in bed w our adversaries. It's the same for all Trump's pick.

So much dirt gonna need a bigger shovel

And with that he can be manipulated and bribed

He’s already owned. He wouldn’t be there otherwise.

The only mission a Republican knows for Trump, is the anal mission so Trump can look into their Uranus.

Typical

I am not aware of any details in any of my divorces, either. I mean, WHO reads the fine print in divorce papers?! 😊

The whole slob wagon full of them are National Security Risks!!! Why are we allowing this to move forward???

Yes, Snyder nails it. We are fqkkkd!

That rather depends on whether Putin and Xi will count as adversaries after next week.

except we already know he’s a low life without any morals. That takes away the threat. For example: Them: if you don’t do what we want we will tell the public you committed adultery. Hegesworth: they already know.

Tammy Duckworth rocks.

We must know the worst dirt already! Only money will turn these people…

Our adversaries are cheering Hegseth on. China is ready to invade Taiwan who is our ALI. We have treaties, etc with our allies. What are we going to do when they do invade? "Oh well, catch ya on the flip side?" That'll go over well across the world. NOT.

I can see Hegseth as a very shallow person who will easily be deflected from National Security Issues by his failure in experience and exposure to the upper command structure.

Sorry but he has one qualifying attribute...he screwed woman while married, just like his further felon boss

In a previous life, I conducted background investigation for people being considered for security clearances. A person with a background similar to the one reported as his would have thrown up so many red flags, I can't imagine him ever being approved for even a basic Top-Secret clearance.

Duckworth, the Democrats, and other American patriots need to come to terms with the fact that Trump and his minions must be counted among our adversaries.

👍👏👏🇺🇸

Let's see... there's US military history with Vietnam and Cambodia. The Philippines was a US protectorate for half a century and huge at force and naval bases were there for many years. Singapore is a major shipping chokepoint like Suez, and the Chinese PLA Navy is making progress in Cambodia.

🎯💯

And you ass holes confirmed him

Like trump

She or they seem to be stretching for something to base their opposition to him on. I think there's lot more and better things to use than he's susceptible to being blackmailed.

The Dems need to get on FOX & NEWSMAX to tell their side. They have to inform the misinformed.

Honestly, you can say that about almost everyone in the coming administration.

1: Defeating racism in America 2: If affirmative action and DEI are detrimental to America, why should we accept the promotions and advancements of unqualified individuals who are not people of color 3: If Woke is so bad, why should we accept White Affirmative Action for candidates?

Which would make him a perfect pick for our compromised soon-to-be-installed President Trump.... sadly.

The Rent Boys claim he is compromised as well. I wonder if any of those Senators asked if he could even get a security clearance.

Adultery makes someone an easy target of blackmail.

Dirt is of no consequence to MAGATs. They wallow in mud. They have no shame. The rest of the world needs to call Trumps bluff when he threatens and bullies them.

One drink of Russian vodka at lunch quickly becomes 3 or 4 for a alcoholic like Pete

And ALL the Republicans are voting for his confirmation. Here we are folks!

Those are the questions that should have been asked during his hearing!

She's talking about trump, right?

Of course he's vulnerable to our adversaries. That's exactly what Putin & Musk want. And Trump is too greedy & stupid to care. Trump is Putin & Musk's useful idiot. Those two get to destroy our country & Trump gets to take out revenge the Jan.6 committee.

Sadly, it probably won’t matter

Most of them up to trump himself are compromised, thats the unfortunate truth of the situation. Unfortunately nobody seems to be doing a thing about it. If you think that between the cia, nsa, and all the others that they dont know what's up, you're crazy. They just won't release it for some reason

She crucified him today... Not that it will have any impact.

The charity’s that he ran into the ground belonged to the Koch’s so yes he is definitely compromised. But so are 99 percent of GOP senators that will vote to confirm this tool

TFG IS a compromised individual and has, is, and will be vulnerable to our adversaries. And now, we are too

They dont care what dirt anyone has on them they just say its fake news & their idiot MAGA believe them

Yes, very true and it won’t matter a bit to the so called patriots who are total Trump supporters. Any bets on how long this guy lasts if in fact he gets confirmed?

Sen Duckworth is incredible.

Dems should have one message they all repeat: He's a f****** idiot who knows nothing, and is an alcoholic sexual abuser. Next question?

100% They know he has so many weaknesses!!!

I'm pretty sure there's no dirt dirty enough to make Trump, the GOP, or MAGA care. Their loyalty is to Trump alone. And Trump's loyalty is to himself alone. America can pound sand.

Well stated, Senator❗️❗️

Totally agree with Sen Duckworth.

Plus, he WANTS to help our adversaries just as Trump does. Putin, Kim, come on over!

Not knowing who to turn to for a plan to invade Greenland isn't the issue. The issue is that if Trump told him to do it, he would.

Pretty damn scary

Predicting Pete Hegseth's confirmation will boost anti-"American" anti-"Troop" sentiment to an all time high. Trump will destroy what America stands for, and then justify attacking everyone who isn't a 'patriot' with murderous force. If America stands for rape and racism, maybe we should fight?

Very true.

Pretty sad that the U.S. has these confirmation hearings for these important positions out in the open and the entire world can see for themselves what kind of blithering idiots are going to be running the country. It really looks weak.

Even Nancy Mace is a better man than Pete Hegseth.

I think all his nominees are!

Obviously Republicans do not care what awful disqualifying things they find on any nominee - they have Trump and they are okay with every disqualifying thing about him

I think she is describing all of the nominees

Hegseth’s errant dick and his macho nazi bullshit make •us• vulnerable to our adversaries.

It's worse: there are a couple of votes on the SCOTUS who would go along with that. Like what is a Commander in Chief if you can question a command? Something gives me the feeling Hesgeth is not big on the Nuremberg Doctrine -- which is the Law of the Land in the United States.

You nailed it!

Psssh. Can't compromise him if he has no scruples to begin with.

All they will have to do is pour a drink

She should be president

No we do not

Sounds like she could be speaking of the whole new administration

No need to dig in the pond where scum lies right on top.

If snow was shit.

Russia, China, Iran and N. Korea. They are laughing so hard about old Grandpa’s cabinet pick. So pathetic.

He has more adversaries at home than abroad.

Trump' s first recruitment criteria

She's right. He would NOT say that he would NOT shoot American protesters in the legs if ordered to by Trump. This guy is so dangerous! He's nothing but a TV personality talking and talking, but saying nothing, just like Trump. We are in some serious trouble.

The obvious pattern is that ALL of Trump's nominees are compromised. How could anyone possibly not see that the plan is make America vulnerable to our adversaries. Great job, Republicans. History will not forget your unquestioning support to the architect of our demise.

you mean like the felon who is soon to be "president"

He is going to be confirmed. What is more important is to be ready to blame him if things go bad and tie that blame to Trump for making such a terrible choice.

As well as being completely unqualified and compromised, Hegseth wouldn't say he would comply with the Geneva convention or that he wouldn't shoot at protesters.

As someone from a country who Trump is treating adversarially, she’s speaking truth. Trumps entire administrations is compromised - selling 🇺🇸 to the highest bidder. The country is fast becoming an international joke.

Isn’ t the entire Trump administration?

Ya think??? Red flag city

A clean security report is a must. We don’t want risks from compromised losers.

Yep just buy him a drink and surround him with honey pots. GOP men like that. That is their definition of manly.

Kompromat

I think Putin has all kinds of dirt on the republicans that's the reason they're up his ass

Our adversaries are heggie's cohorts, by design.

One could only imagine Hegseth cooking up a plan to militarily take over Greenland, or, for that matter, Canada. Oh, but wait… that may actually be the case. Yikes!

And…he is a totally unqualified DEI hire

Every single pick this cabinet makes, makes the US weaker and weaker. Every single republican voter better be signing up for the mass draft that's gonna happen in 6 months. You fuckers did this.

I suppose by exposing this utterly vile individuals’ appalling history, in such a public forum, it makes it harder for foreign agencies to bribe him! But Trump had better watch out, he will have much less to threaten him with!

Appreciate Sen Duckworth going w/ measurable questions, targeting job performance vs tmz styled inquiries. More Dems should ask Hegseth informative & functional job related questions.

And the “Why you don’t hire an unqualified drunk adulterer” comes out. Common sense many just don’t have.

This is exactly what I wrote to my state senators, both republican. I also said his confirmation would be a disgrace to my family veterans and active duty members. Not to mention the retirees in their state.

Say. This. Louder.

Truth

She’s a rockstar!

For sure.

I am more than sure Russia or China can dig up those anonymous people he was referring to today 😂

Thank goodness he’s shameless about his dirt because if Trump doesn’t want his people to believe it, they won’t no matter the evidence. See Trump tower emails.

He's EXACTLY who DJT needs to help him take over the military to become his PERSONAL 'security' force.

Republicans criteria for cabinet confirmations: 1)Must have a dick 2) Must be a dick

I wonder how many military will be resigning after Hegseth is put in charge? Obviously many generals and officers will no longer be in charge and probably discharged. I can’t imagine what will happen with women, how many will be assaulted, how many will leave the military?

The same situation with the convicted felon. Adversaries see him as a weak criminal that can be bought easily.

We’re fucked 🥲

Bingo

This would be more concerning if Trump weren't already compromised so nothing matters anymore

Unqualified and unfit
