Yikes! He really lit into the dude, didn't he? I love the insistence of 'yes' or 'no' answers. Hegseth kept waffling and was called on it several times. He is definitely an 'embarrassment' to the US.

I sat there totally amazed and wanted to stand up and cheer when he kept demanding yes or no answers. None of the maggots want to give a straight answer. That's what got Brett Kavanaugh elected... he wouldn't give a straight answer, but they passed him in anyway.
Pete Hegseth does not currently have the qualifications to be Secretary of Defense. The position of Secretary of Defense is a civilian position and requires someone who has been retired from military service for at least seven years, unless a waiver is approved by Congress. Hegseth has military experience, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, but he has not retired from service for the required amount of time. Additionally, he is not a civilian, as he was a Fox News contributor and political commentator. Real dumb move... well, all of trump's moves are dumb... but Secretary of Defense? He needs to be removed, and we need for the Democrats to get up this sledgehammering and get him out of there.

It seems most of the Trump administration aren't qualified for their positions but Republican Senators are too afraid of Trump to do what is right for the nation. I hope a lot of them lose their seats when they next come up for reelection as they don't deserve to be in Congress.

Re: It Does A Body Good To See This
My perception of the majority of the members of both Legislative houses, Republican or Democrat seem to have lost sight of the whole premise of "public office." They have their agenda and they're going to take care of themselves first and foremost, then, maybe peel off a little largess for the common folk. They are elected to serve US, not the other way around. Mid-term elections might just shake a few of them loose--enough to shift the balance from right to left. Personally, I'd be happy to see it in the middle, but that's a pipe dream.

This country truly needs a third party. I personally am a fan of Bernie Sanders, but he'll never win as long as he's an Independent. Plus he's getting too old now. But he keeps his rhetoric going year after year, and he's made enough money off politics for his entire family to live happily ever after. Looks like Gavin Newsome may take a stab at it in the next election... if there is one.
Changing the subject, but did anyone watch the opening of the G7? I was so embarrassed to know that big orange buffoon represented our country. All he could talk about was his BFF Putin, but Carney shut him down. I knew he'd leave before it was over because the attention was on Carney and not trump. He can't stand being around anyone smarter than him, so he had to get back home so he could be Boss Hogg in the comfort of his oval office, surrounding himself with the resident idiots.

Love it!
