Republicans would approve charles Manson? After all their president is a rapist, extortionist, business cheat, insurrectionist, etc. the approval is a farce. No behavior is too low for republicans
Ta, Evan. I saw none of this, and read as far as you'd gotten livebloogieing when I had to leave Wonkette to do actual work. Someone should make that TV creep watch every video training about hand hygiene. Over and over and over again.
I love the way any unethical unprincipled unqualified person who also happens to be a fundie Christian (self-proclaimed) will try to declare his sleazy inept record irrelevant because "Jesus my lord and saviour has forgiven me."
Jesus doesn't nominate people to positions of great power and responsibility like secretary of defence, nor does he have a vote on those issues. Flawed fallible mortals in this world, do. Anybody, anybody at all, no matter how arrogant, thick, or irresponsible, can claim, "God endorses me for this job," and nobody can prove him wrong. That's why so many do make the claim. As Joe Heller observed, "It required no brains at all. It merely required no character."
Thanks Evan! I started to watch it, but like others here, fuck. Thanks again.
Do these apologist Republicans have any clue as to how much trouble we ALL are going to be in with the people they are putting in charge? They are not all Tubervilles, they can't all have that gift (I'm a bit envious, the world inside his head must be delightful). Some of them must know the damage that they are enabling.
Every time he takes a sip of “water” it is Tito’s vodka. The alcoholic ‘s drink because it’s colorless and odorless. When is he going to break out, “😭! I am a child of Jesus! I’m just like my illegitimate spawn!”
"We all know trump picked hegseth because he liked seeing him on the TV but it's also very important to these people to demonstrate their belief that the least-qualified white man is categorically superior to anyone else"
"HEGSETH: She is pretty and smart and all the things!"
Did he actually say this?
And by "and all the things" did he mean she knew to blame a door for her shiner?
And since they keep saying he was "saved" by God and wife number 3:
a) Were the two previous wives harlots of Satan?
b) He was still a drunk misogynist until a couple of months ago, did he just get married? If not, how long did it take for him to be saved in the current marriage, and why was he not saved in the previous ones . . . or was he saved and then fell like Lucifer fell?
So, apparently the FBI background check consisted of Hegseth clicking on the right button on the "You must be over 21 to Head the DoD) screen, and then watching the VHS tapes that the proven rapist Trump sent of Fox and Friends Weekend?
"This bullshit clownfuck redemption story is going to be a large part of their defense, because Republicans love bullshit clownfuck redemption stories. "
Is head of the Defense Department usually where you put your reclamation projects? Especially one that was reportedly still showing up drunk to work this year?
Maybe make him an intern to J.D. Vance, so no one will have to pay attention to him, and when he messes up, the worse he can do is get Vance hung by the MAGA crowd.
Hegseth blamed the deadly Oct. 7, 2023 attacks by Hamas against Israel and Russia’s full-scale assault on Ukraine in February 2022 on the chaotic U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021. There is no evidence linking the Hamas attacks to the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. And Russia initially invaded Ukraine in 2014.
Hegseth said he spent a year at Guantánamo Bay “guarding 700 of those that attacked us on 9/11.” Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and the other prisoners who have been accused of plotting the Sept. 11 attacks were in C.I.A. black sites elsewhere at the time. They were transferred to Guantánamo Bay in September 2006, more than a year after Hegseth's deployment to the military prison with a New Jersey National Guard infantry unit from June 2004 to April 2005. During his deployment, the prison held at most 600 suspected Taliban and Al Qaeda members sent there from Afghanistan.
Duckworth asks Hegseth to name the countries in ASEAN — the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and he can’t. (When he mentions South Korea, Japan and Australia, she quickly notes that none is a member of ASEAN).
Senator Tommy Tuberville claimed that an unnamed general told him that the military is “spending more money on transgender restrooms than we are coverings for $100 million airplanes.” However, if confirmed, Hegseth will find that restrooms inside the Pentagon are solely designated for either men or women.
Hegseth just called Russia’s 2014 invasion of Crimea a “minor incursion.” He also claimed that Chinese spy balloons had not flown over the United States during Trump’s first term in office, though that has since proved untrue.
Hegseth has repeatedly said that he was “completely cleared” by a police investigation into an accusation that he raped a woman in Monterey California in 2017. In fact, the police referred the case to the prosecutor’s office, and prosecutors declined to charge him. That is not the same as being completely cleared.
Hegseth says troops will “rejoice” if the Pentagon gets rid of the “woke” agenda. Some 43 percent of the 1.3 million men and women on active duty in the United States military are people of color.
"Senator Tommy Tuberville claimed that an unnamed general told him that the military is “spending more money on transgender restrooms than we are coverings for $100 million airplanes.” "
So, the transgendered bathrooms at the Pentagon are getting the full gold toilet treatment?
Finally, the proven rapist Trump has done something for the trans community!
They are still using the word "woke" constantly? I'm sure they think it's totally tubular!

To what exactly was MarkWayne Mullin referring when he said his own wife had kept him out of prison? Do I want to know?

Pete, scale of one to ten, one being sober as a judge and ten being full black out drunk, how drunk are you right now?
I didn't watch. Did he have the shakes?
Serious question, btw.
"HEGSETH: She is pretty and smart and all the things!"
Did he actually say this?
And by "and all the things" did he mean she knew to blame a door for her shiner?
And since they keep saying he was "saved" by God and wife number 3:
a) Were the two previous wives harlots of Satan?
b) He was still a drunk misogynist until a couple of months ago, did he just get married? If not, how long did it take for him to be saved in the current marriage, and why was he not saved in the previous ones . . . or was he saved and then fell like Lucifer fell?
So, the proven rapist Trump wants a guy who is afraid to even meet with Democrats to stand up to China, Russia and Iran?
Who am I kidding. No one expects Trump to stand up to any of them.
So, apparently the FBI background check consisted of Hegseth clicking on the right button on the "You must be over 21 to Head the DoD) screen, and then watching the VHS tapes that the proven rapist Trump sent of Fox and Friends Weekend?
"Oh you guys! Pete Hegseth has been “saved by the grace of God, by Jesus and by Jenny!” That there is what is known as the Holy Trinity!
It now includes Jenny!"
Jenny? A female mule?
That seems very MAGA. Bestiality is the ultimate masculinity I take it.
"This bullshit clownfuck redemption story is going to be a large part of their defense, because Republicans love bullshit clownfuck redemption stories. "

An unpaid intern. Dude is better off keeping his job at Fox, where his idiocy will go unnoticed by viewers.
Hegseth is the ultimate DEI (Drunken Extremist, Incompetent) hire.
He's been literally a waste case his entire life.

Did Tuber's secret santa yelp "Sir, sir" in a dumb southern accent?
People who voted for Assmouth: “NYT? Is that New Years Titties? ‘Cause I’d like to see some of them!”
In other words…people who care, already know. People who don’t care will never know, especially if it’s not on Twitler or their FacePlace feed.
