issue is I think Pete should have his day...I also think if there are bad allegations and true, he is not suitable...but it should be dealt with in confirmation...if recess is used for his will leave a dark stain...he needs a hearing now to clear his name...IMO...if I were him I would want that.

It's all about controlling the nominee. Graham is a war hawk. Believes in the Ukraine push.

Who cares if millions die and family formation is destroyed. It is all about money being generated by continual wars ad nauseum!

Who cares about 'leaving a stain'. The Dems don't care. They had Lloyd Austin MIA and nobody cared. HIs backup was AWOL and nobody cared. We have the 'stain' of Garland and Wray and all the others. This is a street fight. Time for our side to stop being stupid. Dems will oppose all the real fighters. And we need real fighters. Not someone Chuck Shumer will be comfortable voting for.

The police report already cleared him Dr Paul, these RINO shitbags are just trying to thwart Trump’s agenda

Hegseth is pushing back now in media and meeting with senators. The police report on the sexual assault allegation is out there for the public to read and make up their own minds, but key is no charges were ever brought. This guy is anti-woke to the extreme, he means business and has even written a book about it. I agree he should have his hearings and anonymous sources should not be allowed to take him down—plus, his Fox colleagues are now speaking out in defense of him and in no uncertain terms.

If Lindsay Graham is trying to derail Pete, that confirms that Pete is the right choice for Sec of Defense.

Lindsey Graham sat there and confirmed a dude pretending to be a woman, but is concerned about Hegset? Graham is a RINO piece of shit, and MAGA doesn’t care what this loser thinks! By ALL means NECESSARY, Trump must use recess appointments to get his guys confirmed, RINO soft spine losers will do everything to stop the movement! These assholes are worst than the Leftists democrats!

I have always had red flags about Lindsey Graham. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Without question he’s a rino and I’m ashamed to admit I am from South Carolina. I wish somebody would primary him but apparently no one wants to.

Don't be ashamed. You are the precious part that makes South Carolina what it is. Look who I am stuck with...Gavin Grusom. Ugh. Agree, he has been on my radar for a long time. You will know them by their fruits.

Don't feel bad or embarrassed. I'm originally born and raised in Northern Virginia, outside of the swamp, lol. I've lived in TN off and on for the last 20 years due to my husband's army career and when he retired in 2012 from Ft. Campbell, KY. You couldn't pay me enough to retire back there. It's too expensive. 😫

Next Senate vote (if there's any justice):

All in favor of catapulting this loathsome warmongering jackass - aka Lindsey Graham - to the front line of every war he wants to start, vote ey.

DONALD TRUMP AND RON DESANTIS have personally discussed the possibility of the Florida governor becoming the next secretary of defense amid concerns that sexual assault allegations could engulf the president-elect’s current nominee for the post, Pete Hegseth.

The talks, relayed by four sources briefed on them, are in their advanced stages. They underscore the fears within Trump world about Hegseth’s ability to survive a Senate confirmation process—despite public posturing from Hegseth and allies that he remains committed to ending up at DoD.

“These discussions are real. It’s serious. I can’t say it’s definitely going to happen, but the governor is receptive and Trump is serious, too,” a top Republican source familiar with the conversations told The Bulwark on condition of anonymity.

Trumps talks of replacing Hegseth with DeSantis is very concerning to me because him running against Trump was a stab in the back, just like Nikki Haley did and Trump expects loyalty, PERIOD! I also didn't like who was backing DeSantis. (Unless that was the plan all along.) 🤔

Expand full comment

Agree! DeSantis and Trump egos can’t both fit into the White House. DeSantis has already shown that he follows any shiny object he sees. Not loyal!!

Expand full comment

P.S. Where is the media campaign from Trumpworld to support Hegseth and any other nominees who are being attacked and smeared? You don't just throw someone out to the wolves and see if he sinks or swims.

I don't see a lot of savvy professionalism here in the way of media followup and defending the nominees.

Well, Ed as far as I can see we have a lot of 'fake' so-called Trump supporters. Like the last 2016 win Trump has been able to find a lot of Washington DC swamp monsters to accompany him down this path of the "unknown" considering the 37 trillion in debt plus the 175 Trillion in UNFUNDED LIABILITIES ? 🤔

Can someone please help me with this: How is it, that congress has a fund for victims of SEXUAL CRIMES, and no one knows who these victims are, why is this allowed to exist? But these goofy balls are having a tit fit about Trump’s picks?

Time to take the gloves off. Get Bondi and Kash confirmed. Then Kash goes and reviews the file on Lindsey. (FBI has files on everyone of any import.) Then Kash goes and has private conversations with Lindsey, Murky Murkowski, Corrupt Collins, Treacherous Thune, Glitch Mitch, and other squishes. Let's them know it is hardball time. No more nicey-nice from our side. Get with the program, or info may come out because Kash "discovered" that the security on personnel files isn't up to standards yet, and could take all of 2025 to get there. Maybe he visits a certain Chief Justice as well, to share concerns of "info found on the dark web". He can then say the government will cover their first year of Lifelock for good measure. Take the gloves off!

Like the aggressive start. This way it's established NO MORE BULL SHIT !

Bongino says the attacks against Hegseth are BS. We need someone like Hegseth to turn the Pentagon upside down and shake it to force out all the corruption and misguided social experimentation policies. We're giving up far too easily. We need Hegseth, we need Kash, we need Tulsi, we need RFK Jr.

We need them very badly. We didn't come all this way with hard work only to give up now.

Why engage with these yapping ninnies? They are always going to have some tale of woe to tell. We’ve got the votes. Ignore them, confirm our nominees, and don’t waste one precious minute of the two years we have to clean this country up.

I could care less what "Light in the Loafers" Lindsey has to say. Hes a war monger and phony. 20 years ago he "dated," Laura Ingraham. Maybe that's why Laura never married.
