trump castrated all the males in the House and Senate

No. He'll be the next Sec of Defense.

He's too stupid to just quietly withdraw his name from consideration before he loses his FOX gig. Right now, some more women are seeing those tats, wondering if they belong to the guy who Mickey Finned them, and are calling their lawyers and the Senate.

I can't believe a major in the National Guard is next in line after a Four Star General

www.cbsnews.com/news/hegseth...

But Trump's mandate...

To them it’s a badge of honor

Its likely *why* he got the nomination.

No. They’re white supremacists themselves, they’ll welcome him with this

doubtful with the republicans.

Don't be silly. No. Of course not

Zero chance now we have a dictatorship and we are at the point where everyone on GOP is scared to be the voice that speaks out - assuming a few of them would (and soon it will be too late)

Probably not, they will claim ignorance and then tell us later they were not aware of them. If he was detained at a correctional facility that facility would put him on a special watch list due to his gang affiliation.. nypost.com/2024/11/13/u...

If he was incarcerated the correctional officers would automatically put him on a special watch list as the gang he belongs to is very dangerous.

I completely agree. His nomination is ridiculous!

If congress allows these appointments - that are clearly dangerous to our government - to go forward, the people need to go on strike and stay on strike until they start following the will of the people.

Unlikely, theyll bend the knee

Hell no they won’t.

Nope, they are a feature, not a bug. All 3 and 4 star generals will be required to have them soon.

📌

When a convicted, felonious rapist nominates an alleged rapist, who also paid his victim hush money to save his job, to be the head of the "defense" department begs the question, isn't this an oxymoron!? Asking for a friend ....

It is a question I am afraid to hear the answer to.

I suspect they will not. That would mean they had to show some spine and they have none.

He's unqualified, has the intelligence of a lima bean, and a fucking loon. What kind of incompetent lowlife nominates someone like that? 😉

They will praise this. Take it to the bank that Trump knew this already.

No.

Call your representatives now!!!!!

Nope.

Prediction: No.

Yes. He confirmed it himself. apple.news/AocVEY9GBSxq... (CBS story if you don't have Apple News)

There is one on his arm that is absolutely a white supremacist marking. This Hitler wannabe needs to be tossed as quickly as he was nominated.

they are also why orange POS looked at him and said yep, thats the guy who’s going to help me take over the country

Hell no, unfortunately. What used to be norms are all now gone. Maybe once the masses realize what they have done, we can finally unite again, I hope. With so much hatred out here, I pray that it's possible

No, because part of the plan is to take guns from non-Rs and use the military to stamp out any protests. The R senate know that they are either with them or against them. They are afraid of being the enemy of the Trump/Putin coup.

Sorry but I believe they all gonna watch it burn and blame it on someone else.

They will not.

You would think those were disqualifying but we will see with this corrupt administration

Trump dined with Nicolas Fuentes and said the Nazis in Charlottesville were fine people. He promoted the replacement theory and a wide range of blood and soil themes. And they voted for him. So why would they oppose his white nationalist appointment now?

No, they won't. Focus on things you can change.

None of them care about anything anymore

Oh, I hear you… but like Oklahoma. There might be the tiniest bit of hope for Lankford. He has a conscience. Markwayne Mullin on the other hand probably has an appointment to get a set of matching tattoos by now.

*Lankford

He’ll salivate at the thought of using military against protestors.

Remember a day when you had to cover such on your skin. They flaunt it proudly now. They are all disgusting symbols

Nope. I would never bet against the spinelessness of Republican Senators. I bet they even confirm Gaetz.

Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski will express concern, but in the end they will vote to confirm along with the other Rep. because they love their hold on power more than than the constitution which they serve.

Not a chance ! This lot are owned by Russia !

Absolutely he SHOULD, and of course he WON'T

MAGA = #WhiteSupremacistTerrorists

No they won’t

Nope. He is exactly what they want.

Newly named WH Communications Director (on Jan 20) Steven Cheung labeled it an attack on Xian values, a remarkable reach even for the well-practiced Cheung.

Some of those that work forces, Are the same that burn crosses. Nothing will happen. We'll have a literal Nazi running DoD because those that know are sympathetic.

They will not. And if reporters ask they will feign ignorance.

And Trump should be in jail. Laws are suggestions

Is anyone spearheading the election recount effort? What’s happening with the investigation? Inquiring minds want to know. TYVM.

Job interview tip: When applying to be Secretary of DEFENSE, maybe don't have tattoos that got you BANNED from defending things

he uses them as HallPass in frumps administration.

Absolutely disqualifying!

So glad to see you here! I'm new and trying to find my favorite accts of which you are one!

No

I don’t think anyone on earth even knows what ‘Deus Vult’, means anymore. It’s just one of those things you say like ‘We the people’ or ‘I absolutely reported those alleged sexual assaults to the authorities’ 🙄

He could always have them removed the SOA way🤷‍♀️

Nope

Nope

In our current bizarro timeline? He could have the tattoo on his forehead and MAGA would applaud, media would ignore and ignorant electorate wouldn't know/wouldn't care. 🙄

Or maybe he should be disqualified because he simply is not qualified for the job. Either way works for me.

It’s difficult to imagine they aren’t all approving this on purpose. This is what they wanted, isn’t it?

He is unqualified on so many levels. Unfortunately I spent four years waiting on Republican senators to stand up to Trump other than anonymous quotes in the news, and it never happened.

They're also associated with the Crusaders who massacred Jews in the Rhineland on their way to Jerusalem in the First Crusade.

In the old days, investigative reporters would have been all over this Nazi. Now we just accept that he will be DOD Secy

Oh, hell no, they won’t. They rattled some sabers (I’m talking GOP senators) so now they’ll have to bend the knee.

No they will not.

Nope... that's who they are...

Trump's team knew his history in 2017. This is deliberate. He's an empty brain to be aimed by Trump like a cheap water pistol.

If the Senate GOP has even a shred of self-respect left, then absolutely not......so he should sail right through the nomination process

Hegseth is disgusting on many levels.

OMG

Nope because they are white Christian nationalists

You raise an excellent question.

We all know the answer to this. No. It won't matter at all.

Olivia, can you please verify if this duty to warn about the election is real? If so, it needs to be investigated. substack.com/home/post/p-...

You know they won't. Which party do you think controls both chambers now?

Of course not!

No Olivia they will not! This guy is literally the Trump agenda! F—- you we can do anything we want and who can stop us!🤬

What do we expect when the Grand Wizard of White Supremacy is elected to be POTUS? They no longer hide who they are.

Christian Nationalists are polishing their freaking boots. This can not be real. Ugh.

OMG so sad about Gaza, I never thought of that,but you are so right

"Mr. Hegseth, please remove your shirt."

I bet that rule will go right out the window. Too many will have them.

Unlikely 💔

Bet you’d have no problem with it if it was a Che Guevara tattoo 🙃 Anyways, he’s not getting the nom because of the SA stuff. Moot.

lol no

The Bible forbids tattoos and scarification. He’s going to hell. 🤣

It’s gonna be sad to watch them, embrace him

Short answer.. NO.

No, they won’t.

As someone who spent a year researching the use of crusade symbolism by the far-right, this is my surprised face

Said it before and will say again, don't apply logic or norms to the GOP. They're not into that

MAGAs in our Texas lakehouse town: “Eggs cost $3.” F-ing fools. 🤬

Short answer - NOPE! There are no limits on the GOP’s betrayal of ethics or its sycophancy. My advice - Stop looking for some glimmer of hope that they will do the right thing. They have proven over and over they will not.

If the Senators can be convinced by their constituents that the Hegseth nomination is part of the “decapitation” playbook Trump is now following, they should realize they gain more from upholding their Constitutional duty than they lose from opposing Trump. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Nope

Unbelievable

The incoming Senate? They will not disqualify any of their dear leader's picks.

Does the Senate know the history of those tats?

He doesn't wash his hands and he's proud of it.

Not in this administration.

@johnthune.bsky.social ⬆️⬆️Yet another reason to not confirm Hegseth.

At best, there are likely no more than (3) in the Senate as it currently stands. (Unknown if there is maybe another that may be unknown). Unfortunately, the rest will back over backwards for their King.

No, they’ll do whatever their Orange messiah wants. #Itsacult

Hegseth is a terrible choice to head up the DoD, but he'd be the perfect choice if you're looking for a guy to coordinate an American version of Project Reinhard.

I'm guessing the answer is no. They will give trump everything he wants.

This is insane

Nope! Nothing is disqualifying. The more crimes the better the candidate. Trump loves the criminals because they can relate.

Well, according to him, it is simply discrimination for which he will extract revenge. Wow, pretty thin skin for a manly man.

I’m from Monterey (father had been the Superintendent at the Naval Post Graduate School). This ‘alleged’ sexual assault was swept under the radar.

I miss rhetorical questions where we all knew the answer.
