About 400,000 too many women in the military

He missed the opportunity to delineate between women in the military vs women in combat. Hs position is very defensible and he allowed her to conflate the two.

"Senator, somebody got to make them sandwiches".

Pete is doing a great job so far. Good for him for refusing to play their games to go sit in their offices when they'd made it clear they would not vote for him.

Remember when Sheaheen campaigned as a moderate for re-election in NH?

I think he did it adequately by delineating that the issue isn't women themselves but the erosion of standards.

Sen. Cotton (who I wanna see as President) is giving him space to expand on it. Nice planning by the Republicans.

Hegseth keeps trying to win me over - kill every member of Hamas.

Not really. If he wanted to clarify his women in combat stance he could have, but instead said a whole lot of nothing.

Remember what the purpose of a confirmation hearing is: to get confirmed. His job is to assure squishy (R)s that it's in their better interest to confirm than to oppose. As they are heavily influenced by the media - this primarily means NOT giving distortable sound bites or embarrassing answers.

His job today isn't to win arguments: it's to present himself as politically viable.

Here comes the Wicked Witch of the East,

The misdirection/dishonesty by the commie in the question didn't give him an opportunity to clarify his position but Cotton did. It's entirely non-controversial and didn't give them a sound bite.

On to Gillibrand! "If you are saying women shouldn't serve in the military." Sure thing.

Democrats are such pathetic frauds.

They're MEAN.

wa wa wa wa...the sound coming from mrs gillibrand is hurting my ears

Senators from the Northeast / New England are absolutely miserable people.

Oh my gawd, Gillibrand is quite the harpy. If she had her way SOCOM would be nothing by mentally ill people and woman. Yeah, that's a real lethal force. GTFOH with that *****

Amazing as we currently have the greater Los Angeles area still in flames, with a Fire Chief, Asst. Fire Chief, and DEI Chief whose primary qualifications AND objectives were skin color and diversity issues rather than actual merit and focus on effectively fighting fires, that Gillibrand is screaming at the top of her voice about "what about women in combat?" "Why are you denigrating them?"

Ms. Gillibrand, first, no one is denigrating anyone, with the exeption of yourself as you denegrate a decorated war veteran. And second, perhaps it's because many of the women in combat positions are there because of the very same objectives that are currently contributing to the loss of entire cities due to inadequate competency.

So kiss off.

So basically Pete Hegseth wants a military that can SAVE Private Ryan and the Democrats want a military that can Transition him. Gotta go team Pete here.

nothing like a leftist harpie politician from New York

lecturing an actual combat veteran on what should be done in combat

Letting Blumenthal question anyone in the military is the epitome of what is wrong with this country…

Stolen valor mother****er…

Blumental, an American gem.

Is Sen Harpy concerned about the highly- trained troops we lost to the COVID shot policy??

Blumenthal asking about Financials of his business.

Wonder if he asked Kamala about her financial skills

That about sums it up. One thing really wonder about is how can Biden get most of his picks, some real obviously mistakes, if not degenerate, and there be much less than unanimous Repub vote in turn? Don't they understand that the *majority* this time wanted change from Bidenism?

Looks like senate dems are still in denial that the majority of Americans rejected the pink hair cat ladies and soy boy betas.

Bring on the alphas. Go Pete!

Blumenthal got them whiskey shakes

WOW! Pete Hegseth just silenced an angry Democrat Senator who claimed he wants to discriminate against Democrats in the military.

Da Nang Dick is a piece of work for sure.

The Democrat opposition to Hegseth is just not hitting the mark like they wanted.

Hegseth came more prepared and eloquent than ever.

He's crushing it.

You guys have more links for those of us who have jobs and aren't homeless hobos living under bridges (with apparent internet connections)?

He's as smart if not smarter than most of politicians but with actual practical real world experience
