Pete Hegseth confirmation hearing

Dutch Uncle

* Tertia Optio * Defend the Constitution
About 45 minutes in and Pete turned partisan ugly by whining about the "left wing media" and their failure to print all of his quotes.

He gave lip service to unity and then became divisive.

He sounds like a blithering idiot.
 
Despite all the MAGAt preaching of unity, Tom Cotton, like Hegseth did, is whining about Liberals.

Now they are talking about supporting Zionism and killing terrorists. Good! Right, Ms. @moon? You'll get your wish; the US will become involved in killing off your terrorist friends. LOL
 
OMG he was hilarious! He's sweating bullets up there.
Agreed.

His comment about his "Christian tattoo" is a half-truth...meaning a whole lie. It's a Christian Nationalist tattoo.

"Christian nationalist" is an oxymoron since a Christian is a Christian first and only, not a nationalist much less a racist.

Hegseth, an admirer of the Crusades, sports the Latin words “Deus Vult” on his bicep and a Jerusalem Cross on this chest.

“Deus Vult” translates as “God wills it.” The phrase dates to 1096 in the first Crusades. More recently, it has been adopted by Christian nationalists and far-right militia groups as well as perpetrators of racial violence.

Likewise, the Jerusalem Cross dates to the Crusades and has seen more frequent usage among some Christians. It is the combination of that symbol that caused some of Hegseth’s own colleagues in the National Guard to report him as a possible insider threat.
 
More half-truths from the Party of Trump; "woke military" and claims the Navy is more focused on climate change than ship-building.

Congress funds, or not, ship building. The Navy can't build ships that Congress doesn't fund. Climate Change will affect Navy bases and allied naval bases around the world. It's important to look at both modernizing our military forces and also 50 years ahead toward national security threats.
 
The forum's cowardly pervert screeching about men giving men blowjobs again. Maybe he should get together with guno, they'd make a pair

Regardless of the personal baggage, Blumenthal hit it right on the head when he asked him given that the most people he ever actually supervised was under a hundred so what makes him think he is qualified to lead an organization made up of over three million with a $800 billion budget that our nation relies on to defend us?

And for answer he went into how disastrous our withdrawal from Afghanistan was
