Rock solid hearings for Trump's nominees....

[Gus is dead]

Yesterday, the DoD nominee did absolutely nothing to show he was “qualified” to run the Oentagon but friended in Republican senators on the committee to deflect for him. Ms. Biondi was really disappointing. She was defensive towards all “hypotheticals” asked of her and in my mind, she left no doubt that as AG she will always act as Trump’s attorney first and foremost. However, both nominees will get in as they have the votes…both will be strictly party line votes.

I bet not. I bet that one or both get Democrat votes. Not a lot but some.

Wanna put your 'money' where your mouth is?

Loser can't post for a month.

I think Hegseth meets and exceeds the standards. Not answering one single question is hardly disqualifying.

I mean, honestly, listen to yourself. Didn't get one answer after all the questions? We are, thank God, at the tail end of the Biden disaster.

EVERY single leftist on here and nationally made excuses for his obvious mental decline over 4 years. And this was our President. Forgive me if I find your objections to Hegseth a bit self serving. This guy could run circles around Biden, Austin etc...

But yep, you're against him. Got it. And I don't care. He's about to be Sec Def. Losing elections, well, like all of them, has consequences.

So you honestly believe in no women in the military???

He didn’t need to do anything yesterday. The hearing was Tuesday.

At various points throughout the hearing, under Democratic questioning, Hegseth also did not rule out invading Greenland and Panama; following an order from Trump to shoot domestic protesters; ignoring the Geneva Conventions; repealing a policy that reimburses service members for travel related to reproductive health care, including abortion; rolling back protections for LGBTQ+ troops; and firing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. C.Q. Brown.

Hegseth denied knowledge of the email, but did not deny the administration plans to comb through the ranks to find officers to fire.

The Dems still don't understand that nobody except their delusional followers care what they think. I can't wait until Kash gets up there!

You are a moron.

 

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

Were you equally impressed with Hegseth's answer regarding ASEAN countries?

ASEAN isn’t a military alliance for what its worth….

 

[win1forthe]

I thought they would do well, but they have all had very good testimonies.

Trying too hard.

 

[Hans81]

Interesting you think every single candidate had a rock solid performance, yet you're unable to cite one thing they did well.

I guess reviewing congressional hearings isn't your strong suit.

The main thing they all seemed to do was to “not take the bait” on some leading questions, nor get bullied.

They couldn’t take the bait because they are clearly unqualified and have little-to-no knowledge of the position they were nominated. That is crystal clear, everyone who watched even five minutes recognizes this.

What's been your favorite part so far?

Pete Hegseth saying he will prioritize lethality in the military.

No he said he isnt fan of women in combat roles.

Unless they can meet the standards. No lowering of standards to allow for more women in combat roles.

 

[Sullivan]

That seems pretty general. You don't have a favorite part, yet you say they've all been "rock solid" ?

This was probably one of the more entertaining exchanges:

 

[noStemsnoSTICKS]

ASEAN isn’t a military alliance for what its worth….

True. But it does represent a geographical area in southeast Asia where the United States has military basis. Are my standards too high to expect the secretary of defense to know this?

 

[bunsen82]

No he said he isnt fan of women in combat roles.

That what he said in his hearing, that is clearly not what he has stated in previous statements or written documents. If he is a poor communicator, that is on him. More likely its just him waffling because he is now being questioned on his stances. I still haven't seen where unqualified women are in the militaria or have been passed on to "meet quotas." Those are his statements, again with no supporting documentation.

 

[Crafty Beaver]

You're telling me, patriot!!!

Especially when the new standards are far below expectations.

It must have REALLY bothered you when Biden said he spoke to the President of France that had been dead for 25 years.

Pete Hegseth saying he will prioritize lethality in the military.

I thought the military was already lethal.
