What makes this guy worth voting for?
You don't like him for one!
Please explain what I don't like about him?
Playing dumb about a nominee who has been know for weeks is not a good look.
Don't change directions. What is it about him that you think I don't like? Support your claim or just admit that you made a bull**** statement.
I've seen your posting or should I say trolling for a while now and its not really worth discussing. If I made a mistake prove me wrong. Tell me how much you love Pete and conservative values. The only bull**** is your stick of acting ignorant.
I don't love or hate the guy. Hence my question, why should they vote for him? That's not a partisan question.
Yes it is.
Did you have issues with Austin? He was confirmed 93-2.
What about Pete Buttigieg, who's primary qualification was that he was gay and a mayor of a mid sized town? He was confirmed 86-13.
What about Anthony Blinken, the architect of the Hunter laptop letter that has been proven to be a political misinformation scheme? He was confirmed 78-22.
What about Mayorkas, who has picked and chosen what laws to enforce, thereby violating his oath of office? He was confirmed 56-43.
Let's not forget Merrick Garland, the most openly political AG in history who ushered in lawfare on the opposition. He was confirmed 70-30.
NONE of these people were denied consent. So it seems to me that the only time we have calls for denial of consent is when Republicans are being considered. So who are the partisans, again?
So the Senate, despite being an equal branch of government to the executive, should roll over for any president's nominees, and thus abrogate their constitutional role in the nomination process?
Yes if there is a reason to exclude him or her.
This is a BS, made up ***** The fact that R's are standing in the way is disgusting. Also their reason for pushback is purely trying to get Trumps policies not implemented. Specifically cleaning out the crap that is in his departments.
So surely you have evidence to back up your assertion that the allegations against Hegseth are "made up sh/t", and that the Senators in question only have stopping Trump as their goal?
And keep in mind, none of them are saying they won't vote for him, merely that they have questions and will not, as of now, say that they absolutely will support him.
Hegseth is definitely guilty of sleeping around prior to his latest marriage, but he is by no means alone in that shortcoming.
The allegation of rape has been examined by Megyn with a fine tooth comb, and I'm inclined to say that that specific allegation is a fabrication, for a variety of reasons. Listen to Megyn's podcast and come back with your refutations if you disagree.
The letter from Hegseth's mom was also in a different time in Hegseth's life, and his mom stated today that she wrote the email in anger, wishes she had not sent it, and states that Hegseth is not the same person he was years ago when that email was written.
The media - who hates Trump - has sights set on a Hegseth scalp, and will do ANYTHING to get it. THAT's the motivation, here.
This isn't about cheating and it isn't about rape:
Quote:
A previously undisclosed whistle-blower report on Hegseth's tenure as the president of Concerned Veterans for America, from 2013 until 2016, describes him as being repeatedly intoxicated while acting in his official capacity to the point of needing to be carried out of the organization's events. The detailed seven-page report which was compiled by multiple former C.V.A. employees and sent to the organization's senior management in February, 2015 states that, at one point, Hegseth had to be restrained while drunk from joining the dancers on the stage of a Louisiana strip club, where he had brought his team.
...in late 2015, a different former employee described Hegseth being at a bar in the early-morning hours of May 29, 2015, while on an official tour through Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, drunkenly chanting "Kill All Muslims! Kill All Muslims!"
This is all from a report about his tenure as president of Concerned Veterans of America from 2013-2016 and was compiled and given to that organization's management in 2015, well prior to any notion of him becoming a nominee for anything and he was certainly not identified with Trump.
He is not nominated to run HUD or the Post Office. He is nominated to run the largest department in the federal government and to be in charge of the defense aparatus of the United States. If he has changed his life and sobered up, that is fine, but it is not out of line at all for Senators to question him about this behavior and give him an opportunity to answer their concerns.
