And now, today, The Mood Has Changed! The Hegseth Nom might make it after all! Because Heg "held the line" and "stuck it out" like a true Trump soldier.
But mainly because "the content of their character," to say nothing of their qualifications for/ability to do the job mean nothing. It's only The Mood that matters in MAGA World.
Picking Hogshead was just a feint, so that when Pete goes down in flames, F34 could then nominate someone just as bad (but without the obvious personal problems) like Pam "Bondage" Bondi, and get responses like "good choice" and "excellently qualified candidate" by contrast.
So disappointing. I wanted him to land the job...Give me incompetent fascism over competent fascism ANY day of the week...The 'relationship' between Hegseth and top military brass would have been enough to utterly castrate whatever 'power' he had...
there IS no straight up winning for now...just the occasional counterintuitive potential 'win'
Another in that category: I'm glad that dems lost the House. WHATEVER happens in the next 4 years will be 100% on republicans. We won't own ANY of it...If we had even a ONE point house majority, the MSM and Republicans would find a way to blame EVERYTHING on us...While the republican party will continue to play the blame game, the MSM (outside of explicit RW media) won't have that luxury...Notice all the last-minute digs the MSM is getting in on Biden before he leaves EVEN as a LITERAL fascist government of felons and rapists are poised to take over on J20...
MSM gonna miss us when we're gone. All their fingers will be pointing back at THEMSELVES
Again this will be about reaching the disengaged self involved apathetic American citizen. We couldn't reach them through pleas fir decency and reason, But now they will be reached by getting exactly what they voted for or sat out the election for. Apparently the only way these idiots can learn is to hurt, and there is a world of that coming for them. Good. If that's what it takes bring it on. The people who couldn't be bothered to stand up for democracy are going to have to wake the fuck up whether they like it or not. There won't be an option to opt out anymore
'For the sake of national security, I really hope trump is no longer a narcissistic, compromised Russian asset,' said no member of fox or maga congress.
Same. Everyone thinks Noo Yawk is so librul, but it's like a red state out here on Lawn Guyland.
My MAGA neighbor included a Trumpie poster among his Halloween decorations (I told my sister it was the scariest thing on his lawn), but thankfully, he has shown a bit of restraint since Election Day, and the only decoration on his lawn recently was a giant inflatable turkey that I chose to regard as a reference to Trump.
Mom doesn’t want to be responsible for Sweet Pete not ending up in charge of national security. She knows he’s a threat to women and lacks the character or qualifications for the job. But that’s less important than the personal consequences for her alone. So please put Sweetie Pete in charge of national security, so mom can avoid any guilt or attacks from the MAGA cult.
These are indeed dark times, but we can't give up RESIST! Trump has NO GD "mandate" He won by a less than 2% margin, and did not even get a 50% win. Enough already of letting him do whatever he wants! He is not the Lord High Emperor he thinks he is
Last year, there were 29,000 reported cases of sexual abuse by female armed services members. No doubt this is a gross under reporting, and the actual number is most likely far higher. This is bullshit. boys. If you can't treat your female comrades in arms with appropriate respect, you need to get your asses out of our military.
The latest news is that Pete Hegseth is DOIN' IT FER DA WARFIGHTERS and manly man WON'T BACK DOWN! IT AM ALL LIZE! Clearly the magas have learned a few moves from THAT MAN. Just saying he'll hang tough in the face of DA LIBZ will surely get him some votes and spots on FOX with Mister Tire Deflator or Judge Boxwine.
Unfortunately, Idiot Urnst decided that Hegseth the adulterous wild child would be a terrific Secretary of Defense.

I love how Hesgeth's drinking problem is so bad that it takes priority over allegations of sexual assault.
Well, Trump killed a million Americans by botching Covid. So if Hegweth sends in troops where they don't belong, he could challenge Trump's record.
I would say nothing. Bait or true belief, I'd be wasting my time.
It's happened to some of my friends and relatives.
Scary, isn't it?
If the South Carolina power bottom is waffling, this nomination is totally fucked.
Picking Hogshead was just a feint, so that when Pete goes down in flames, F34 could then nominate someone just as bad (but without the obvious personal problems) like Pam "Bondage" Bondi, and get responses like "good choice" and "excellently qualified candidate" by contrast.
It does have the feel of asking twice what you'll actually take for a used car.
Trump doesn't take office for another 6 weeks and I'm already sick of the chaos and incompetence.
So disappointing. I wanted him to land the job...Give me incompetent fascism over competent fascism ANY day of the week...The 'relationship' between Hegseth and top military brass would have been enough to utterly castrate whatever 'power' he had...
I see the wisdom in that, but it's horrifying either way.

'“For the sake of national security, I really hope he has stopped drinking,” one of the former Fox employees said.'
There, libs. How much more vetting do you need?
'For the sake of national security, I really hope trump is no longer a narcissistic, compromised Russian asset,' said no member of fox or maga congress.
Ernst is much too competent-adjacent to be a Trump pick.
I don't want competent fascism...I want it all to fail right out of the gate on J 20
According to Kristi Noem, a farm girl will shoot any dog on sight.
So Ernst has that in her favor.

AN OPEN LETTER TO MY GLOATING MAGA NEIGHBOR
You Know Who You Are: Your House Still Draped in MAGA Banners, Red Hat Firmly on Your Head, and Truck Plastered with Trump Stickers
There are homes in my area that have been festooned with Trump regalia since 2016.
I want to see them all burn to the ground.
Mike should sell tickets.
Excellent. Do you live in my neighborhood? I'm in a blue state but my neighbor still has his Trump signs out. Ugh
I’m in a Blue State in a conservative county.
Same. Everyone thinks Noo Yawk is so librul, but it's like a red state out here on Lawn Guyland.
My MAGA neighbor included a Trumpie poster among his Halloween decorations (I told my sister it was the scariest thing on his lawn), but thankfully, he has shown a bit of restraint since Election Day, and the only decoration on his lawn recently was a giant inflatable turkey that I chose to regard as a reference to Trump.
Very well-said! Loved it!
I do think any Senator who downplays it should be asked if they would vote to confirm him if they were the one he'd raped.
He’s in trouble. Susan Collins is concerned. Strongly worded email to follow.
Uh-oh. Secure the doilies, lieutenant.
Mom doesn’t want to be responsible for Sweet Pete not ending up in charge of national security. She knows he’s a threat to women and lacks the character or qualifications for the job. But that’s less important than the personal consequences for her alone. So please put Sweetie Pete in charge of national security, so mom can avoid any guilt or attacks from the MAGA cult.

Pete Hegseth can go straight to Hell
Worked for Kavenacht.
