The funny part is that last month, there was a fear that all these Fox hosts, hacks, suck ups and loyalists would be affirmed with a recess appointment process that worked without congressional approval for fear the GOP might exhibit some traces of spine. Turns out that was wrong. The GOP is lined up and on their knees, ready to please the dear leader and his base.
Oh, I'll be gloating like a son-of-a-bitch for at least 4 years, probably longer. I cannot tell you how much we conservatives enjoy you progs going bonkers.

We in the America First movement must figuratively post the head of at least one hack GOP establishment senator at the summit of Capitol Hill during the 2026 cycle.

McConnell is a good place to start. Destroy it from the inside. lol

Trump's got what, two years at the most? Then what?

Trump is flip flopping in the wind as usual, but as of today Petey still doesn't have the votes.

Trump loves a fighter. He also loves chaos so this is hard for him.

He also loves those who are like him. Brothers in sexual assault.

I've been off the grid for a few days, is Trump still calling him with his backing?

Yes. But apparently the back up choice, our very own Rhonda, was not well received and most republicans said they would rather a drunken rapist with white power tattoos than Rhonda. Ouch.

Trump seems to have made voting for Hegseth a mandatory loyalty test for senators. Maybe even more than Kennedy.

So- "We the People" is White power--Isn't that the "Declaration of Independence"?

Pete Hegseth, President Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, revealed his vulnerability to blackmail in a single damning statement. Asked by Megyn Kelly why he paid money to a woman accusing him of sexual assault, Hegseth responded, "I paid her because I had to - or at least I thought I did at the time. I had a great job at Fox and a wonderful marriage... It is not what I should have done, but I did it to protect that. I did it to protect my wife, I did it to protect my family, and I did it to protect my job. It was a negotiation purely to try to prevent that."

This is the essence of blackmail: coercion through exploitation. It's a dark and dangerous reality. And it disqualifies Hegseth from leading the Pentagon - or any national security role under longstanding federal policy...<<

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/...130aa4eee1fa544&ei=14

National security regulations have been clear for decades: Individuals susceptible to coercion cannot hold sensitive positions. Executive Order 10450, signed in 1953 and still in effect, explicitly bars individuals with vulnerabilities - such as blackmail - from positions of national security. This principle is reinforced by Standard Form 86, the mandatory questionnaire for all national security roles, which screens for "vulnerability to exploitation and coercion."

Hegseth's admission aligns directly with these disqualifiers. He has already demonstrated a willingness to pay off his accuser, allegedly to protect his personal and professional life. As Secretary of Defense, his responsibilities would be infinitely more critical, and his adversaries exponentially more dangerous.

Quite the contrary. Everyone is subject to those pressures. Best to have someone who has experience with it.
