  1. And she’d be correct, if the qualifications weren’t saying nice things about Trump and an overt willingness to follow unconstitutional orders. 

  2. Hegseth replied “Yes Mrs. Duckworth. Quack quack quack Mrs. Duckworth. “

  3. They confirmed a justice to the Supreme Court after he started crying about drinking beer. None of this will matter, but the humiliation is nice.

  4. hope people keep this energy with the rest of trumps cabinet picks

  5. These fucks will argue that DEI is preventing the most qualified candidates from getting jobs and then unironically support this fucking clown like there aren’t 10,000 better candidates available.

  6. Newsflash! None of the people in the executive branch will be qualified. Zero qualified people would even consider working in it.

  8. Someone should ask him if he would follow illegal unconstitutional order by the president.

  10. Joni Ernst announced she’s a yes vote, so this is likely a done deal

    looking forward to getting shot in the streets by my own country’s army for not being pro-Trump or the right kind of Christian!

  11. He’s clearly not qualified. But the Democrats seem to be fighting this on the battlefield of equality. Versus whether or not he is qualified. I’ve been listening to Senator Warren on CNN. And most of what she is talking about is that he doesn’t support women in combat. That’s a valid point but seems like the message should be he’s not qualified. I’ve really lost hope that the Democrats in power will ever be able to figure out how to speak to today’s media and today’s electorate. Until they figure it out, the party is toast.

  13. Hegseth has Putin’s and the Politburo’s approval.

  14. The only thing Trumps cabinet picks will be qualified for is being on a sex offender registry.

  16. Yes. We know. But are fucked to do anything about it. The GOP is set to run America into the ground.

  17. Remember last time when he had a few people with qualifications and deceny? McMaster, Kelly, Mattis. Yeah, he chased everyone else off and this is all that’s left who he will choose to do whatever he wants.

  18. Tammy Duckworth is a real American Hero. Yet Pete Hegseth has stated “women do not belong in combat roles”

    Hegseth is just another REPUBLICON YES MAN

  19. I feel that woman’s frustration with all my being.

    Hearing her barrage of truth and sanity makes me hopeful, but it’s not enough. We need to vote these christian nationalists and oligarchs out of office!
