Pete Hegseth hearing

FAU makes literally the most pathetic false equivalency claims I've ever seen. It's almost like he is purposely trying to look like a dumbass. For his sake, I hope that's true.
The fvcking "mayor of South Bend, Indiana" is not sufficient experience to land the most important job on earth. Only a complete fvcking idiot (you) would think it does. And NO. Trump didn't have the experience needed either.
 
Not both sidesing anything. Hypocrites who supported a mayor of South Bend Indiana to be the POTUS are acting as if it's some giant leap to support this appointment. Refusing to overlook exactly what they had to overlook to support Mayor Pete.

That said, I would not vote to confirm Hegseth either. It's such a silly choice and done 100% to troll the Dems by Dopey.
Do you think Trump was really someone who was qualified for president based on his background? I sure as hell wouldn't vote for Mark Cuban or anyone from outside politics when it comes to the POTUS.
 
Our current secretary of defense holds $3 million dollars worth of Raytheon stock. No wonder he loves sending weapons to Ukraine and having taxpayers replenish them with fresh items from Raytheon.
He also likes to disappear for a week to have surgery without telling anyone of his whereabouts. But he was totally qualified to be Secretary of Defense, right libs?

I think I can honestly say, I dislike just about every person (on each side) that I've heard ask questions so far. The grandstanding is so much worse it seems these days.
The grandstanding in these hearings is nauseating. It's pretty much that way with any congressional/senate hearing where they get to grill someone.

My senator, Tim Kaine was an absolute embarrassment. It's so disappointing when they represent your state so disgracefully. Why do we keep electing these people...

Who are all the people who are here clamoring that Buttigieg would make a strong president? Are they on the board now? Are you referring to the senators asking question of the alcoholic today?

Seems like a weird strawman to bring up today.
 
Sums up the incoming clownshow administration.
People who I think are qualified from who Trump has nominated. Not saying I like all these people but they have the background to at least be considered.

Rubio
Chavez-DeRemer
Burgum
Turner
Huckabee
Hoekstra
Isaacman
Long
Wiles
Waltz
Kellogg
Vitello

Money. Every single one of those reps on either side have been bought and paid for. They spend 1/3 of their time in call centers no matter how safe the district. I’d assume most of time the only constituents they meet with are high level donors. Might have a few meetings for the cameras with peasants that have been carefully screened.
The social media stuff is usually handled by a team as well. Get a few talking points and make sure to stay on message with the party.

The fact one is an elected job and the other an appointment shows how dumb you are.

Guess what? The “hiring committee” - primary voters - agreed he lacked the experience and rejected him.

Think that’s going to happen with this piece of shit? Or will the “hiring committee” - feckless cowardly GOP legislators - give him the job?

Also LOL that you don’t say shit about a frequently bankrupted tv reality show host being “unqualified” but an actually elected mayor is.

Dipshit.

What’s your criteria for sufficient experience? Would Pete be better suited now, after 4 years in a cabinet position?

Tbf, he’s quite likely to run again, possibly with more success than he had in the first attempt, when he arguably overachieved given his limited experience prior.

Isn't Trump getting elected a proxy vote for what would be his nominations? We are a representative republic correct?

Biden got all of his noms in (outside of Tanden self-imploding) and it wasn't necessarily that they were the most qualified or superior candidate. At some point, the spoils need to go to the victors right?
