Accused of sexual assault
Isn’t that a prerequisite for a position in the Trump autocracy?
He’ll fit right in
That’s not what she said.
Fascists gonna fascist
of course he was; those are qualifications now.
*prerequisites
Yep, these people have “morals,” if you can call them that, that are quite malleable. We’re putting together a team of useful idiots who will be led by the most useful idiot of them all.
Did any dems vote “yay” for this dude?
All 47 Dems voted no, 3 Republicans defected and voted no (McConnell, Murkowski, and Collins), and Vance did a tie break vote.
Mcconnell defecting is indication of how truly fucked we are
Not unless his vote killed it. They all talked in the backroom. This was merely a signal to trump.
so were even more fucked
We’re* 🥲
FUCK. I swear I’m better than that.

No. McConnell knew exactly how many votes there would be, and he would not have voted against it had it been closer.
Any Republicans who “defected” did so in a calculated way. They didn’t follow their moral compass or think it was the right thing to do, it was pure politics.
All 47 member of the Democratic Caucus voted against Hegseth. They were joined in their opposition by three Republicans: Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine.

This guy looks like the stereotypical mob flick crooked mayor
Donnie’s ideal guy.
Even this guy’s mother doesn’t like him. What the hell are we doing here?
When do the fucking crusades begin?
Right now! What are YOU waiting for?
Oh yeah, your life isn’t actually that bad. At least not bad enough to throw it away to become some kind of martyr that will be forgotten after 3 months (how long has it been since that one guy shot a CEO? 2 months and almost completely out of the news cycle?)
The sad (SAD) truth is that people on the internet LOVE to convince themselves that they are oppressed. The “resistance” they claim they are putting up (which is really just posting the lamest takes on social media) gets their cortisol 'a-flowin!
In reality, they would NEVER give up their lifestyle to make any of the changes they claim they want to see. That is, unless they can whip up enough people to fill in the front line first, then they can continue their comfortable online “resistance” without any risk.
Like I said: you aren’t oppressed.
Are you a propaganda agent of the state sent to make sure no one ever gets the idea the government is undefeatable? If you aren’t, well, how sad.
There’s the lame take I was talking about! Way to prove the point!
I want to see some change. REAL change! There is a uni-party that DOES NOT want that kind of change, and the majority of internet people vote for them time and time again.
Stop fooling yourself.
Real change? You voted for it and now you have a bunch of White Christian neo-Nazis representing the USA. My crusade comment was referring to the Jerusalem Cross tattoo the drunk talk show host likes to display. If you really want change, get ready to lead the charge when the US goes to war against Iran. I earned my DD214 and saw enough life changing moments.
I’m betting on China winning the next conflict
Y’all misunderstood, the accusations of sexual assault, drunkenness, and financial mismanagement were considered qualifications by this administration.
Defund the military
Libs gonna be shocked when the empire continues to function almost exactly the same.
Maybe for some privileged and self centered people
Oh look, another person who can’t tell the difference between a liberal and a neoliberal.
I wonder if the dems realize that these accusations hurt the dems more than they hurt the accused? They look like buffoons at this point.
Dems look like baffoons because:
A woman accused Hegseth of raping her at a 2017 conference in Monterey, California, according to a police report unearthed by the Washington Post. No charges were filed, but Hegseth later paid the woman $50,000, according to written answers to questions Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) posed to the nominee.
In an affidavit submitted to the Senate on Tuesday, Hegseth’s former sister-in-law said that Hegseth was “abusive” towards his ex-wife, who had an escape plan involving texting a safe word to friends and family and, on at least one occasion, hid in her closet out of fear.
How does that work in your head?
Republicans confirmed this guy? I am confused why you think this reflects on the Democrats?
Big shock that you’re standing up for a drunken blowhard just because he’s a fascist.
Never would have expected that from you.
The problem is you’re framing the accusations as if they’re just accusations without proof when they’re not. Regardless of that, in a plainly misogynistic move, you’re also assuming the women aren’t being truthful.
It only makes the Dems “hurt more” if you’re viewing it through that prism. In reality, where this shit is fucked up and is happening, the GOP is confirming a terrible person. Confirmations used to be largely bipartisan and mostly a walk through, now one party just ignores the other because the moral compass is so far apart compromise is impossible. You can’t compromise with amoral fascist lovers. So yeah of course none of the Dems voted for him.
Why choose to be a worthless lying POS
Connect these dots for me
It comes off like they’re just trying to defame them, like the Dems are lying and persecuting their political opponents, like the Nazis did.
Dude paid $50,000 to a woman to drop the rape case against him, and you think it wasnt real? Innocent people don’t pay people off. Companies, maybe
Stating bad things someone has truly, actually, provably done is not defamation. Is everyone immune from criticism because stupid people also use criticism?
“truly actually probably done”
Do you even hear yourself? It’s an accusation, nothing more.
It’s not an accusation if there is proof… I think you’re mistaken by the MAGA party. You know the party that said COVID wasn’t real but it turned out to be very real. They said climate change isn’t real but the whole nation experiences absurd weather conditions all year. They said Jan 6 was a day of peace but people got hurt and killed. Some feared for their life.
Please sit down. You don’t know what a lie and a truth are. You probably can’t tell the difference between a fact and an opinion either.
Donny loves the poorly educated
What proof?
I mistyped provably.
He is a Fox News talking head for Christ sake.
“A trail of documents, corroborated by the accounts of former colleagues, indicates that Hegseth was forced to step down by both of the two nonprofit advocacy groups that he ran—Veterans for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America—in the face of serious allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct.”
And then
"According to one report by a whistleblower, Hegseth was accused of having “treated the organization funds like they were a personal expense account”
So a felonious rapist. Sounds kinda familiar.
Sounds like DARVO.
Perspective depends largely on one’s preferred flavor of capitalist/imperialist narrative.
