If there are reptile/lizard people, Hegseth is one of them.

Watching Danielle Smith huff and puff and talk national unity nonsense because she can't host dear leader in her province will be the cherry on top.

I am a little surprised he didn’t end up on the sex offender registry either.

That dude is a ####ing embarrassment to Veterans

And also...

Hearing has descended into a clown show. Running the DOD is no more difficult than a small charitable organization. The military is apparently going to composed of white, male GOP members.

I think its key to see it for what it is. He's an opportunity in chaos person. His whole goal is to pot stir to get his competition off their game.

To that end it works, look at this forum. Instead of discussing the outcome of his threats, we are discussing the threats and threatener themselves.

To make matters worse we have a fed/prov party that thrives on emotion not solution.

I think if we all just took a breath and actually got the smart people in industry to weigh in, people here would feel a whole lot better than what all poloticians are manipulating them with.

People from industry have weighed in, and everyone agrees the tariffs will be bad for both economies and especially the consumer.

What are you even talking about?

[activeStick]

The Republicans have the votes to get all nominees confirmed as long as they stay united, but this is America where corruption is guaranteed, and thus, various senators on the Republican side will use this leverage to get favors for themselves. What a #### show it is down there.

[OldSam]

Now Pete has given advice on lowering obesity so more people can be recruited into the military. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.

Naw, he creates chaos himself, and then does his bullying routine until the dumbest get scared into cowering before him and bending the knee. It's really his only move. Chaos, bully, succeed. If people stopped caving to him, we wouldn't have him around to deal with. Like, did no one learn how to deal with a bully in school? This is elementary level stuff, which is why it is so baffling to see people fall in line.


I guess his other game is to just threaten people to get on the winning side, and they'll get rich. Sometimes it works, sometimes you get Rudi'd. So he knows how to play into the greed of others. Find me a politician or business person who worships Trump who isn't one of the greediest mofos on Earth.

I dont know who Hegseth is but...we're still debating that? Hasn't this been resolved already?

I thought we unanimously agreed that men are awful and women should do all the fighting.

Anyone notice how much liquid Pete is drinking? I wonder. Seems like he is quite dehydrated. Curious.

[OldSam]

I am shocked I tell you, shocked. The Republicians have NEVER made a mistake in their history. Pete is such a hero.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I don't know how any of you can watch these things. Pretty much the most boring, predictable #### out there with a predetermined conclusion. Feels like there surely must be something better to do.

Alcohol and yay are a fun but very dehydrating combo

We could go back to Trump pressers where he continues to threaten other sovereign states and proposes renaming bodies of water

[Senator Clay Davis]

At least there's a chance of something unexpected in those. I actually wonder what the threshold is for Hegseth to not be confirmed. Feels like he could admit to rape and murder and it still wouldn't matter.

Donny wants him. No GOP member has the balls to say no.

A real senator would find that stuff fascinating.
