A FBI background check on Hegseth, Kavanaugh style

[Rawley]

Every committee member is entitled to see the FBI report.

Nope. Following precedent, only the Chair and the ranking member.

Kaine is absolutely beating up Hegseth. He just cant answer a simple question.

Of course, Kaine is an idiot. why do you expect him to answer questions! He is a terminal hypocrite. His greatest claim to fame is he got beaten by Mike Pence for VP.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Hegseth knocked it out of the park ! a soldiers soldiers to be sure ! he is going to be a great SOD !

SECDEF, not SOD. That's a hunk of grass you put on your lawn.

Unqualified women should not be in combat. Why do you have a problem if they are qualified?

By who's standard? You know they have lower standards, right?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

You are right!

You do know that bottom right image are Brits, right? I see your point though.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

By who's standard? You know they have lower standards, right?

That's what Hegseth wants to change. If a woman can do the job and wants to do the job, why should we say no?

My daughter had to meet the same standards as all other Air Assault officers. They standards are the same for male and female.

Pete owned those fucking idiots. Today was a perfect example of why the Democrats got their asses handed to them on November 6th.

The 5th was election day.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

actually eggs are 5.99 a dozen. Trump won the presidency with 312 votes.

NF doesn't buy eggs, as she lays her own with each posting.

Yet how many letters of support were filed with the Senate committee on his behalf from those organizations?

Is that meaningful in any way? Going against him will only cost you. It has been seen a lot times before.

Didn't ABC just pay $15 million for that lie? How much can he get out of your worthless hide?

Nope. They used the word "rape". I didn't use it. My post was factual. Sexual abuse. Sorry, Trumpster.

But I can see how you authoritarians will be going after people.

Look at you defending sexual abuse. I'm so glad I'm not like you. But Trump loves you. He'll take care of you. Really.

Show me the evidence of this sexual abuse that was so horrific she told no one about it, including the police.

You lied. That's just what you people do.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

You lied. That's just what you people do.

How did I lie?

Oh, I am sorry! I forgot you didn't speak or write in English.

People who lie deserve no justice.

My daughter had to meet the same standards as all other Air Assault officers. They standards are the same for male and female.

Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Defense, was pushed out as the head of two veterans’ advocacy organizations amid internal allegations of mismanagement and personal misconduct, The New Yorker reported Sunday.

A whistleblower report obtained by the magazine alleged that, during his time leading one of those nonprofit advocacy groups, Hegseth was repeatedly intoxicated at work events and gatherings with staff. It also alleges that he sexually pursued female staffers, and that the organization ignored another staffer’s alleged sexual misconduct.

The report is the latest scrutiny into Hegseth, a veteran and former Fox News host with no prior government experience, ahead of what’s expected to be a tough Senate confirmation process. It comes on the heels of reports detailing a sexual assault allegation from 2017, which Hegseth has denied and in which no charges were filed.

Wouldn't you be happier with someone who is qualified to do the job?

Cool NARRATIVE, brah.
Trump won't be reelected for it.
Haha.

I noticed that whataboutism did not include a defense of Pete's qualifications.

He is intelligent(Princeton and Harvard), is a medaled combat veteran and, most importantly, has the right ideas to get our military back on track from the woke lefties. That is all that is necessary. He will be calling the shots, but there are many very experienced military officers under him that will do most of the day to day work. That is the way it works in upper management.

I can hardly wait. The military is the last place for woke policies.

Who is saying we should say no to woman who meet the necessary standards for combat? Pete isn’t saying that. He is saying that the current standards have been lowered or in some cases there is a second set of standards for the same change for men and women. That should not be the case and that is what Pete wants to change. He is absolutely correct.

You best reply is HITLER!?


Speaking of losers....GFY, Godwin card playing shitlib peckerhead.

If you don't like your orange god being compared to Hitler, then support someone that doesn't sound and act like Hitler.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, I'm calling it a duck.

If you had a brain, you would too!

 

[Hum Dinger]

Getting DEI out of the military will save the military. We need to get back to competency based advancement instead of advancement based on who someone is.

So, a black woman who has a law degree, years of experience as a prosecutor and as VP, is an 'unqualified' DEI hire, but a white male news commentator with no substantial command or administrative experience is qualified to be Sec. of Defense?

Perhaps your anti-DEI sentiments are just plain racism.

You can't stomach the fact that non-white people are achieving while most white males are depending on mommy & daddy's money and connections.

BTW - I'm a white male and I've seen how most of my fellow white males of my generation have grown into non-achieving spoiled brats.

That's why they so desperately want the U.S. to become a fascist state - they want everything in life to be determined by birth right and inheritance.

He couldn't even effectively run a tiny vet's organization without womanizing, drinking, and misappropriating funds causing his dismissal. In the business world no one would hire him to run anything. In trumpworld being a second rate TV show anchor on a propaganda network elevates him to do a job given to Gen. Mattis last time around.
