Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense

[ll74]

I didn't lose anyone's vote. They will vote to approve or get primaried in the next election.

It's the Senate.....most won't be up in the next election.

 

[HisArpy]

It's the Senate.....most won't be up in the next election.

Ahh, right. The election where they're not going to be primaried because they're not up for reelection.

Meanwhile, back in reality, the "next election" where they ARE up for reelection is going to be fun when those who don't vote to confirm Hegseth will have to face a primary challenger.

See what I did there?

Lol ....you keep threatening your primary threats...see how that works out for ya.

meanwhile, Hegseth may not have the votes to be confirmed. And by the next election, Republicans may not have both chambers.

The margin is close now, not during the next election.

Sure, you can believe that. What are you going to do if your beliefs turn out to be wrong? Cry? Post nonsense on Lit that somehow it's BB's fault that you couldn't see the truth that was right in front of your eyes?

Really?

OTOH, if you're right, then MY BELIEF in the legal process and the law wins.

<-- winner either way.

You, not so much.

Republicans who get primaried get replaced -- by Democrats.

I honestly don't care if he gets the nomination or not. I'm more interested to see how much push back comes internally within the Republican party. In the scheme of things, Democrats don't matter for these nominations.

As for bB - he keeps whining about Democrats in multiple threads and posts. They threw questions at Hegseth that poor bB's Twitter feed didnt like....he did the same shit about Democratic nominees....it's all about the tribe. Fucking guy is just in his Twitter echo chamber. I just am sick of the spamming of the board with his repetitive whining. And I'm sick of ignoring his username because he switches them often.

Trump won... he'll have a cabinet that is his. In the regard, I'm more interested to see how far he will try to push them outside of the norms and what the establishment does in response. That is the story that matters to me...and I won't be making a thousand threads about it. I know others probably will.

So you're just going to sit on the sidelines and throw more shit at everyone? Over politics?

 

[ChloeTzang]

They damn well better.

If they don't, they're going to be primaried right out of the gate. The old GOP is dead, and the RINO's will soon be extinct too.

Agreed. This is a trial of strength for Trump, that will make very visible whether he has full-fledged support in both the House and Senate, and any Republican that bails on supporting Trump's nominees can expected to be primaried out of office and replaced. What matters now his, do Republicans toe the line, or do some RINO's renege.

We'll sure see.

However you need to interpret what I said I guess is fine. I point out histrionics and whining over stupid shit all the time. Overreactions abound here in the politics forum.

As per usual, my threads will be about information and discussion when I feel like posting them.

 

[Rebel5soul]

Hegseth is IN. Next.

 

[Rotadom]

Oh well, at least we can always rely on Democrats to make idiots of themselves. The only real concern is they also believe themselves

More or less dumb than a dude pretending to be a chick on the internet while blasting trans people?

 

[RobDownSouth]

The margin is close now, not during the next election.

Today's Republican-led Senate giggling at accusations of Hegpeth's behavior and lack of qualifications have shown us that the incoming majority party is focused like a Jewish Space Laser on approving the elderly felons cabinet picks.

I predict that Hegseth will quit or be fired within 18 months. He won't survive as Defense secretary until the next midterms. Erryone can quote me for posterity.

 

[Rotadom]

Hegseth is IN. Next.

I hope they all get confirmed so you MAGAts will only have yourselves to blame.

 

[RobDownSouth]

However you need to interpret what I said I guess is fine.

Telling people what they REALLY think has been his schtick for years. Even before the 24/7 Vicodin haze took up permanent residence in his brainbox.

 

[Politruk]

Hegseth should be disqualified just for that dumbass Stars & Stripes hankie.

 

[Politruk]

If they don't, they're going to be primaried right out of the gate. The old GOP is dead, and the RINO's will soon be extinct too.

Republicans who get primaried get replaced -- by Democrats.

 

[PaxNurgle]

He was the valedictorian from Forrest lake Area High School. He has a BA in politics from Princeton and a Masters in public policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He'll do a good job as Sec Def.

Lets be clear.

THE ONLY REASON you people support him is because he is:

a) An outspoken misogynist, and
B) an outspoken bigot.

That is literally THE ONLY REASON. Because it most certainly isn't his credentials. As mentioned, any private first class has the same qualifications that he does. But you people see your own hateful, spiteful views reflected in his statements, and that legitimizes your own. So of course you support him- regardless of his credentials. I mean for fuck's sake, the guy even has a KKK tattoo on his chest!

THIS is the guy you are proud of? Makes perfect sense. Sieg heil motherfuckers. Whatever.

A little intellectual honestly would be nice. Remember the poster "MatthewCraig?" He at least admitted he was a racist and a bigot. Which gave me a tiny bit more respect for him than for some of you people.

Were democrats actively trying to get America to hate them today?

Hope that ^ helps.



Pete Hegaeth is a wholly unqualified / unworthy nominee for Secretary of Defense.

Talk about “lowering standards” for the military…

JFC

SAD!!!

No to mention the coat lining.

 

[PaxNurgle]

Were democrats actively trying to get America to hate them today?

Were REPUBLICANS?

That's the real question.

No, Rebel5Harpy. Democrats were actually standing up for decency, human rights, and fucking HONOR. Something YOU, mister fifty fucking screen names, seem to lack.

It is an elected official's duty to UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION and protect this country from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Hiring a KKK-tattooed racist thug- and let's be clear, that's exactly what he is- to be Secretary of Defense calls for elected officials to do their duty... and fucking BLOCK HIS ASS from ever having a position with any authority or power.

As for the idea that those who oppose his appointment will get "primaried" then... no. Not a chance.
Voters have more integrity than that. If anything, these people will be re-elected in a landslide- for having the courage to do the right thing.

And let's be clear- no self-respecting honorable person will EVER sign up for the military with someone like that in charge. He will not strengthen our military, if he doesn't destroy it he will certainly weaken it. I would steer my kids away from a career in the military if someone like that is running it.
