Originally published at: Senate Republicans Will Do Whatever Trump Tells Them To Do - TPM – Talking Points Memo
“Pete Hegseth is unqualified to run the Pentagon” is criminal understatement. Accused of sexual assault, of rampant alcohol abuse, of cruelty towards his ex-wives, of serial infidelity, and dragging with him a paper trail of derisive comments about women serving in combat roles, he seems to have the temperament of a Princeton frat paddle. On…
Sorry to go off-topic right away, but The Onion is just too good. Yes, even better than a cat pic : - )
Hegseth’s behavior and subsequent confirmation. Lawmakers sexting Cassidy Hutchinson. Rape culture needs to be cancelled.
Trump is often attributed with greater strategic foresight than he has
An outstanding point that will never be any less true.
toady: noun: a person who behaves obsequiously to someone important.
Hegseth will be so unprepared for this job that he will definitely do secret drinking to deal with the stress. No way can he stay sober in that job. Maybe it won’t happen tomorrow, but you can be assured it will be sometime. I hope he then makes a complete fool of himself in a big way (but not so big that we get nuked). I don’t think he’s going to like the new job. He’ll have to deal with Dipshit Don telling him what to do all the time.
Does anyone know how kicked to the curb Mitch is voting?
Cassidy, you go girl !
Question of the day…who sent those messages? Who is left on the bingo card?
I am always inspired when Susan Collins is concerned.
This time she is demanding answers, like the following:
Where is my spine?
How quickly should I flip-flop?
No one actually still falls for my act, do they?
The Republican Party is a giant collection of dirtbag creeps.
They either commit the acts or like to watch, either way, ALL creeps.
This may explain why they all fall in line. I imagine Miller has files. And the hit ratio for creepiness in the Republican world is at an all time high now.
Yep.
And all Trump’s release and pardoned criminals are just loaded guns waiting to go off. They are a huge problem he made for himself and there is nothing he can do to stop it.
They have shown they are violent, indiscreet, and make very poor decisions. Good luck with that.
For my entire voting life I’ve heard how Dems were too liberal and soft to be entrusted with national security. Now they put this bribe taker and compromised person in place.
Ernst knows what rape in the military is,and how well women serve - and she still kow towed. coward
Anyone have the full stupid thing? trusty drinkiing.
My one hope is that these asshats make the R party anathema to the voters for a generation. That happened in the '30s but look how much pain it took. This time is could be much much worse.
But ridding our house of the Birchers, QAnoners, rich bastards and the assorted crooks will take a long time. Guillotines aren’t fast.
Something bad is going to happen on Hegseth’s watch, and we will need to make Trump and MAGA fully own it when it does.
A failing effort at a Constitutional amendment is certainly better than the bad faith claims that Trump is entitled to a third term (which will surely come, just give it time).
