Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense

[RobDownSouth]

I'm not sure having a bunch of deranged women scream at Pete Hegseth was a good strategic move. A lot of people are going to see the clips and immediately relate to Hegseth, not the lunatics ranting and waving their arms like inflatable tube men.

I wished they'd pinned Hegpeth down on the exact number of female workers at Fox who were renumerated for Hegpeth's "alleged" sexual misconduct and forced to sign NDAs as a condition of their payoff. I'm guessing the number is at least in the low two digits.

Joni Ernst, the senator from Iowa, indicated she'd vote to approve Hegpeth's nomination last night. This is especially relevant as Ernst has fund-raised hundreds of thousands of dollars as a result of her publicizing the alleged sexual assault(s) she endured at the hands and penises of members of her Army unit whilst deployed in Iraq.

Since her election to the US Senate, her public relations staff has positioned herself as the public face of sexual abuse in the military, and she has squawked for weeks about how she had 'tough' questions for roofie-boy Hegpeth. When push came to shove, though, Ernst rolled over and asked for a belly rub.

Of course, Derpy has lectured us time and again that from a legal standpoint, if a woman didn't immediately report her assault(s) with authorities, it's simply 'morning after regret', so there is that.

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.

Welsher...

 

[HisArpy]

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

There were a couple of guys in the back who weren't paying attention the last 4 years.

 

[HisArpy]

mister fifty fucking screen names, seem to lack.

Dam, I guess I get around more than I'm aware of...

Wasn't this an episode of "Married with Children"?

The decade of the shrill female Harpy is over.

A - HEM!!!!!

I will accept your apology when the gift box filled with cookies arrives and not before. Capish?

The whole show reminded me of:

It was never in doubt. The only question on the floor was how much of a theatrical fool could some Senators turn themselves into.

As usual, the audience was not thrilled with the final production.

I believe that isn't correct. Ernst was against his nomination initially.

As usual, the audience was not thrilled with the final production.

Perhaps. I've listened to a lot of conservative pundits who have staunchly been against his nomination. I wonder if the questions from Democrats would've been better if that would've changed the course of things. Doesn't really matter now.

Ernst was playing politics in order to create drama and get attention back home before she's up for election again.

The pundits you listen to are an echo chamber. Seriously.

You have no idea what I listen to, which is obvious by this statement. I steer clear of echo chambers.

Hegseth's appointment was never in doubt. The rapist sex offender told the puppets to vote for the alcoholic sex offender who couldn't name a single member state of the Alliance of Southeast Asian Nations and claimed that no former secretaries had his immense experience of warfare, so they did.

He'd just said how important that alliance was to him. He's a fucking idiot and a MAGA, but I repeat myself.

J Rosen (D- Nevada) is a no. Her complaint is that he is a different person in book, TV and hearings. Which one will we get?

I'm sure you read this part;



Which part do you think supports your claim? Please be specific.

This part shit for brains.

The Constitution's framers did not aim to create a government void of religious values but rather one that allowed for the free exercise of diverse religious beliefs while preventing any single religion from wielding governmental power. Article VI prohibits any religious test for public office, reflecting a commitment to religious pluralism and equality.

The First Amendment's language captures the balance between preventing government endorsement of religion and protecting individual rights to practice religion:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

In summation, the Founders crafted a constitutional framework that ensures the separation of church and state, safeguarding both the government from religious overreach and religion from governmental interference. This deliberate stance against a singular religious nation provides for a rich diversity of beliefs, unified under the structures of liberty and justice for all.

 

[DeluxAuto]

Since the drunk woman abuser guy says he won't send troops to a fair fight, does this mean he'll send troops to help Palestinians who are being victims of genocide?

 

[ll74]

This part shit for brains.

Freedom of religion.

Period

This is the dirty little secret our “media” wouldn’t tell you during the ‘16 campaign.

They founds out through their internal polling that when the HIldabeast was HEARD, her polling numbers went DOWN! . That’s part of the reason you didn’t see her campaigning that summer. That and she thought the fix was in…another tale for another day…

This editorial - Pete Hegseth: American Psycho explores the symbiotic destructive nature between Republican Congress/Donald Trump/Pete Hegseth

Money quote:

Hegseth sat there Tuesday like an oleaginous and smarmy Patrick Bateman cosplayer. His 1980s American Psycho affect reeked of insincerity, abundant hair product, and the smug satisfaction that Republicans work for Trump, not for their constituents or, God forbid, the nation.

We are days away from the End of American Exceptionalism, and entering a new "Age of Fear".

WTF are you on about? That’s exactly what we’ve been saying. You’re the one that trying to obfuscate the topic! That is not what you were saying three or four pages ago.

Pull your pants up…your ignorance is showing!

You said the Nation was founded on Christian values and then you posted facts that say the exact opposite.

Are you a Bobo?
