Trump / Musk (other than DOGE)

[thebruinbleedstarheelblue]

Trump has no idea how anything works. None. External Revenue Service? What a goddamn buffoon.

Does Baron make up these names? this really is Idiocracy.

[Huh?]

Um, we already have one. The US, Eritrea and Hungary are the only countries to tax its expatriates on worldwide income regardless of where income is earned.

Tuberville remains in a class by himself.







What money has to be spent on “transgender bathrooms”? They are just bathrooms.

 

[nycfan]

Wut? [I think he blew a canned talking point and meant to deride “diversity is our strength” maybe?]

 

[rodoheel]

Is there anyone outside of MAGA world who truly believes (1) that we help other countries more than ourselves, and (2) that it's a good long-term strategy for us to piss everyone in the world off?

It's almost like it's a bad idea to try to apply hacky corporate dealmaking tropes to international diplomacy.

 

[nycfan]

What does that mean? Did he see waterboarding at Gitmo or they just discuss the concept a lot (in front of prisoners or no)?

 

[Carolina Fever]

 

[nycfan]

So no.



So yes.

Four years of this shit incoming

I predict that the GOP response after this hearing will be that (a) Democrats are mean and (b) you heard nothing new in the hearing, so no reason to vote against him.

Was he clearly unqualified, uninformed and dishonest? Yes, but you knew that already, so old news.

Does he has a history of drinking and infidelity problems? No, he has overcome great personal challenges but we do t need to focus on what this challenges were and anyway he said he won’t drink on the job if confirmed as SecDef and Senators drink on the job and have affairs all the time.

[MOUNTAINH33L]

So no.



So yes.

A little louder for the MAGAs in the back please.

 

[MOUNTAINH33L]

This clown has no business being anywhere near a position of power. JFC.

[Hegseth’s body language is sort of hilarious in the last clip as he relaxes once it is clear he in a safe space for this line of questioning]

Also @rodoheel

Yes, I would say that. I would be absolutely shocked if a former member of the military would use the military on the people they've sworn to protect regardless of who requested it.

We literally just watched a former member of the military mow down the very people he was sworn to protect in a staggering act of domestic terrorism. So why would being a former member of the military keep Hegseth from kissing Donald's boots?

It's much more likely that that's EXACTY the reason he's been nominated to such a position that he is so woefully unqualified for. Especially after the months long tirade the president-elect has engaged in. A tirade in which he told anyone who would listen that he plans to weaponize both the DoJ & DoD.

Also, See Mike Flynn.

Some Democrat should bring up the fact that Hegseth has lower ratings than Rachel Maddow.
