So, Senator Mullin seems to think quite a few senators show up drunk to vote when the vote is late at night; apparently, he thinks that is OK and reasons from that, that a drunk as Secretary of Defense is acceptable.
Maybe the Senate should exercise the right to remove a Senator who is habitually drunk. Maybe they should use their power to refuse to confirm a drunk for S of D.
Maybe, scratch that qualifying word, Mullin is an idiot, liar, and partisan hack who would crawl up Trump's ass to be in his favor.
Mullin is a stupid and vacuous human. It is not a relevant analogy. Being a drunk Senator (if there is such a thing) is not equivalent to being a drunk Secretary of Defense.
I live in the northeast part of the country. I wish the south would have seceded after the civil war. Mullin, Tuberville, Cruz, Blackburn, Katie Britt, John Kennedy. The worst the south has to offer.
I started writing my comment yesterday but just now posted. Now, upon reading yours, I realize my post is a similar sentiment but you stated it most succinctly.
Hegseth was Trumps choice to head DOD not despite his many flaws but rather because of those shortcomings. Trump learned a few things during term 1, not the least of which was to avoid hiring serious people who could undermine his rule. Hegseths nomination is a perfect example of that newfound wisdom. Hegseth is a clueless, deeply flawed stooge who is thrilled about his unexpected good fortune and who will just say "yes, sir" no matter what insanity Trump directs him to do. We will be very fortunate if we get through Trump 2 with only minor damage.
I do believe that Mr. Schmidt's disdain for Schumer exceeds mine...and that's an accomplishment! Schumer cares not for americans...his attitude is let's just try to get thru this and maybe...just maybe it'll work out. He's cut from Biden and Pelosi mold. They are dinosaurs who didn't have a f*cking clue as to how to quell this fascist, international team of gangsters and now we will pay a very high price. What was Dem strategy?? To cull the worst and let the rest slide?? They couldnt even stop Hegseth!! Well once again Drumpf has outmaneuvered feckless Dems and will deliver a dec apitation strike that Vladimir Putin could only dream about. Dictator loving Bondi shall slide too....decapitation the rule of law within the U.S. The other, however many cab officials, are just icing on the cake. Truly a tragedy.
These confirmation hearings are nothing more than show hearings. The outcomes are pretty much baked in and will come as no surprise. This is autocracy at its finest.
Everyone needs to Hear this, if the table was turned, and a Democrat answered questions like this, the seat would Not have been Filled. Good Grief... Thanks, Steve, glad you're here 🙏 and will reStack ASAP 💯👍
From Mother Goose, we learn that Pam Bondi is as willing to lie for Trump as any of the other nominees for high office; she is likely, this liar and sycophant more loyal to Trump than the United Staes, to be our next AG. This is a tragedy; it portends extreme trouble for all Americans, especially those who share our views:
"At her confirmation hearing Wednesday, Pam Bondi probably assured she will become attorney general. She did that, however, by pretending to be an idiot. The former Florida attorney general and lobbyist refused to confirm or deny that Trump lost the 2020 election, declined to oppose pardons for violent January 6 attackers, would not say if she would carry out an illegal order from Trump, and professed ignorance of a wide array of controversial statements by the incoming president.
Does she concur with Trump’s frequent public descriptions of people convicted of attacking Congress on January 6 as 'patriots' and 'hostages,' asked Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii). 'I am not familiar with that statement,' Bondi said. Does she agree with Trump’s infamous statement, which echoes rhetoric used by Adolph Hitler, that immigrants are 'poisoning the blood of our country?' Bond said, 'I am not familiar with that statement.'”
I fear that the incompetence will lead to tragedy on our soil. Those that are responsible will point fingers and people pay the price. I fear that he will not respect the rules of engagement and people will pay the price. I fear that his leadership of our military will degrade their standing to where it was at during Vietnam. It took strong leadership to pull our forces back into the respect the they have now from us. I remember the era the anger towards our Vets, I fear it happening in spectacular fashion, all because weak people want to please a deranged ideology of 45/47 and his yes MINIONS.
Thank you Steve for quickly putting into words what I can barely wrap my head around. You are absolutely right, the senate has fallen. I hope that you are also right that the people will rise up and be the ones to set things straight.
I so appreciate your terrific posts and videos, they are keeping me sane.
In 2021, Grover Norquist said, "I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub."
It looks like Trump's nominee to lead the Office of Management and Budget is going to work as hard as he can to fulfill Grover's sick desire and leave millions of Americans in desperate need of help, whether from natural disaster, poverty, or illness, to fend for themselves:
"Mr. Vought would bring a partisan and ideological viewpoint to the agency. A longtime fiscal hawk and self-described Christian nationalist, he previously worked for groups such as Heritage Action for America, the House Republican Conference and the Republican Study Committee.
Mr. Vought founded the Center for Renewing America, a conservative think tank, and was an architect of Project 2025. That document was an effort by conservative groups to develop detailed policy ideas and executive actions that Mr. Trump could take to tear down and rebuild executive government institutions in a way that would enhance presidential power.
Shouldn't someone who acknowledges he is a Christian Nationalist be automatically disqualified for high office? By stating that he is an CN, he is admitting he opposes the First amendment and thus incapable of protecting and defending our Constitution.
And hopefully all the idiots who voted for him get what they deserve. I hope they lose their ass and all the millionaires driving around in their dream cars complaining about the economy and inflation lose everything.
I guess I watched a different hearing yesterday. I thought the Democrats did an intelligent job interrogating this Trump wannabe. The Republicans on this panel questioning his qualifications was pathetic. They were auditioning for Trump's next ass licker position.
I thought the Dems looked fine too, but unfortunately the R's are in the majority and will push this guy through despite being completely unqualified. He lied and equivocated so there wasn't much else to be done.
mark wayne mullin shows his complete ignorance of the enormous responsibility required by the US Secty of Defense and sets the lowest bar possible for what USED to be one of the most esteemed organizations in the world while spitting on all citizens of the United States of America.. His mother must be so proud.
Steve, thank you for calling a spade a spade or in more vulgar terms a turd a turd! Joni Ernst failed at castrasting hogs in Iowa, so she decided to castrate the greatest military in the world! She is as big a traitor as the OAF (Orange Asinine 34x Felon)!

We should have allowed them to be a separate nation. The weight of slavery, injustice, hate, and incompetence would have led to internal reforms.

I see that Markwayne Mullin is prominent in this video. One of the dimmest bulbs on American soil. Our existential danger is of our own making.

Excellent point.
I think you are exactly right.
Please get this commentary into Jodi Ernst’s inbox. And Chuck Schumer’s. For their ears!

Someone here is an Ernst constituent… send it to her!

Pam Bondi is a damn LIAR and traitor just like the OAF (Orange Asinine 34x Felon)!!

Pure Powerful Excellence, Steve! Keep hitting hard! 🥊🥊❤️🥊🥊🙏
This a sham and a shame. The world is watching. Putin is cheering. Democracy is on the line!
Disgusting Republican Senators 🤢
