Despite Hegseth's adultery character issues, sexual assault issues, drinking issues, financial mismanagement of charities issues, lack of knowledge issues, lack of qualifications for the enormous job of DefSec issues, he will probably be confirmed by the hypocritical fuckers in the MAGAt party. How fucked up is that? Enough to smite the planet with another meteor like the last time, at the end of the Jurassic Period?
More than the mythical sky god written about in the Old Testament (OT™️) Much, much more.
I don’t know if he’s your relative or not, & no offense, but OT™️ guy is a raving psychopath. Scorched earth flood, torturing his own worshippers, telling one of his worshipper’s to murder his own son to “prove” his love for raving lunatic god? No thanks!
So why even have hearings? It's a mockery of the system - just show us how f**kd we all are through the hearings huh? God - well aimed bolts at certain people would work. Maybe a long term illness preventing some of them from accepting the position for the foreseeable future???
Sadly, I do not think petey was embarrassed of humiliated. I don’t think he cares one iota about the hearings. He has the GOP votes and he will get the appointment - and then unleash hell when dear leader says shoot - and it doesn’t matter who is on the receiving end of that hell.
Interesting. To me, his feelings about the humiliation underscore much of the problem today and therefore bear relevance to the conversation. He should be totally embarrassed and humiliated but neither he nor his enablers see the humiliation. They have no feelings whatsoever - except to curry favor with and avoid angering dear leader. Ethics, morals, rules be damned - in their view.
I do not seek to challenge your divine words or opinion, as I am always grateful for your insightful posts. I merely attempt to express my sad feelings about this troubling era. As a veteran, I am very bothered by petey and his behavior as well as his threat to the US military and our country.
Even though he obviously seems like an honest, standup guy it's gonna be tough. You can buy a lot of booze when you have access to an 850 billion dollar budget. Hopefully, that sub-human piece of shit dies of cirrhosis of the liver within the next five days.........
No alcoholics always "promise" to quit drinking, but unless he gets tested regularly they will never know. I knew a man who got a liver transplant because he had a "fatty liver"! I'm sure when he was released from the hospital he promised his doctor that he wouldn't eat bad food or drink anymore with the new liver. But I can tell you he didn't keep that promise either.
Hasn't anyone learned that it does not matter how much these Trumpers get "embarrassed" or "humiliated" or "destroyed." We let them have power anyway. It doesn't matter. None of this shit matters.
Thanks, God. Yes, I am very discouraged. Trump is proving everyone he was right: He literally could shoot someone in Times Square and get away with it. And his minions follow him. I was really hoping Harris would win and then I would feel optimistic again, but I have plunged into pits of despair. I wish you really COULD smite them. Oh, and thank you for the work you do. I enjoy your emails, blogs, and videos. Tell Jesus I said hi.
Have you seen the interesting theory that the humiliation is exactly what matters because that’s what makes people support the supposed humiliated? They don’t care about qualifications but they will rally [edit typo] around someone that the “elite” brand as sub-par. C
Well, I have heard that when you attack people in a cult with things like facts, they just dig their heels in deeper because they now feel victimized, which can serve to make their members cling together even more strongly.
Let’s be clear. Ignorant angry racist pseudo pious white males are a protected class. They need their DEI break in classrooms populated by people who did their homework. They have been too long exploited and mistreated by teachers who require they pay attention in class.
God, maybe you could smite him in a way that obliterates that stupid Christian Nationalist tattoo. Is that too much to ask? It seems blasphemous to me since the Bible does say not to put marks (tattoos) on your body. Thank you, God! Amen! Awomen!
Jan Frederick, I have a tattoo. It's a toucan. I'm really pleased with it. I doubt that God is going to smite me for that. I pay my taxes, my cat is a rescue, and I'm actually very nice to most people.
I really have no problem with tattoos. I was just trying to point out the Christian Nationalists' hypocrisy. They cherry pick the bible and many Christians don't realize this. I think Hegseth's tattoo illustrates this perfectly. Apologies to you and anyone else who may have been offended.
Dear God. I can see that Military is misspelled. I use that extra "i" too. That's because of the education I've been privileged to have. But consider the poor souls who don't have that advantage. After all, this is Merica. Or is it Murica?
I sincerely hope they do not confirm him, but it seems as if they just might with the way some Republicans that were against him are now coming around to his side.
This is where I thank you, God that in Canada we don't have this nonsense as we have the Westminster Parliamentary system. Our cabinet is made up from elected Members of Parliament in the governing party. It's not a favour fest of nit wits and nimrods who are corrupt, obscenely wealthy or ethically bankrupt. The person with the most yachts doesn't score a cabinet position. It would be refreshing if some Americans would learn humility and there are other countries beyond the US borders. The world wasn't okay with the first Trump dumpster fire, what made you think Trump 2.0 would be better? What happens in the US does affect many countries, some of those are your allies. Btw, no Canada does not want to be any part of the US, only 13% do, so we are ready to help them pack to send them to you. You're welcome for our water bombers, 2 now and 2 more on their way in addition to firefighters. We are you neighbour helping our neighbors.
I just want to know what in YOUR name are we going to do with him at the helm? My beloved Marine Corps ... he may be the undoing of one of the most effective fighting forces ever! The Russians and the Chinese, et. al., are looking forward to this moron being in charge. I agree with other comments here, what's the point of this charade masking as a "hearing". We all know he'll get confirmed. Same with all of the other unqualified folks heading departments. SIGH... I'm scared.
Calling women in the military a "distraction" is code for "I only see women as sexual objects and its their fault they get groped while under fire cause damn those fatigues are sexy."

I WANT to, but I also don't want to end the lives of all the good people on Earth, like you. Does that make sense?
Yes. But my disgust with members of my species grows day by day

Interesting. To me, his humiliation has nothing to do with how he feels about it.

Amen to that. Thank you for your service and your continued commitment to your country🩵
Sorry God, it's Nancy Mace, not Nancy Grace. As much as I don't care for Grace, she's way less of a performative attention whore than Mace.
LOL right, thanks for the note. Fixed!
Number one draft pick for hell. Sounds good. Can we have more than one pick please?
.......but, he was drunk out of his fucking mind, so he won't remember. Long live the Confederacy!!!!!!
But he promised not to drink if he gets the job. We can believe him, can’t we? 🙄

Sorry you're feeling down, Kevin. I think things do matter.

The spelling of military made my day.
It's how they say it - miltary. Perhaps a southern thing.
Like “Murica” where they reside

They have no shame, so they're not humiliated the way decent people would be. They're lucking their chops. Ugh.
"Licking" ... although lucking is apt also.
I sincerely hope they do not confirm him, but it seems as if they just might with the way some Republicans that were against him are now coming around to his side.
Republicans will say they are against someone but then vote lock-step to confirm. It is soooo hard to remain hopeful.
It surely is a herculean effort to remain hopeful in such trying times
He reminded me of Kavanaugh. He will be confirmed. Our enemies are excited
Did Hegseth ugly cry, too? I couldn't bear tp watch...

I didn't vote for the asshole.
Good to know. Thanks.

Well, he is a Republican. It’s impossible for him to see women as anything other than sex objects.
Thank you for the spot-on truth about Pete Haggis. Smite on! Amen
That's an insult to haggis.
