It sounds like self-immolation.

Fuck both of them. Here's hoping this shit causes that booze-addled jackass to pick up his ball and go back to Fox Propaganda.

Talk about a brain fart....

You know: is she the Democrat or the Republican?

Glad she's with us!

I have to stop and think about it too, sometimes.

I am so glad she played this the way she did. She's not quite as liberal as I'd like her to be, but she's a good, solid Dem.

I cannot imagine any GOPer trash-talking Hegseth like she did. I live for the day...

reason, every time i read Slotkin's name, i think Elise Stefanik.

That's exactly what I was doing. I have a similar issue when I see "Stephen Miller, " and I think "Stephanie Miller."

If he could say no without fear of a perjury charge, he would have been shouting it!

... to make their bank accounts great again.

===============

Slotkin (of all people) bringing some cowbell.

Slotkin’s a moderate and usually chooses her words extra carefully. Too carefully for my tastes. Great to see her bringing the fire here.

And it is good to see her coming out like this.

Pete Hegseth is another POS that has no soul,, moral compass, or ethics.

Former Sec. of Defense Mark Esper, refused an order from TACO Don to shoot protesters in the legs during the BLM protests when George Floyd was murdered. Esper DID write about that in his book.

For Hegseth to tell Rep. Slotkin "do not believe what you read in books except for the Bible" was not only insulting, but an indication that Pete Hegseth is not fit for the job at hand.

were a real news organization, but they aren't and have always been willing to employ incompetent lowlifes.)

of esper on 60 min saying it.

And there is no sign that there is any real checks on him at this time.

And he never answered the question.

So he is in power, there is no indication he will be leaving power, and he walked away from this hearing amused, not scared.

We are in a bad place.

She wouldn’t hold back for a weasel like him.

Thank you Elise Slotkin.

But what he said at the end, once again, shows who and what he is. The moment he thinks doG is telling him what to do and acts on it, we're in BIG trouble, cuz there would be no limits.

…when I heard that arrogant response.

He’s SUCH an ass!

WTF? He can’t answer one single question!

We're fucked

Longtime drunks should not be charged with the Department of Defense.

but I wouldn't want any of them to be Secretary of Defense.
🤣

My hypocrisies now serve as my guideposts.

Thank you, Dr. T, for understanding how my comments towards the Dishonorable Pete Kegsbreath were intended.

That guy really does act like he wants to shoot Democrats.

is what happens when Hegseth is on a bad drunk.

Not the happy, giggling kind of drunk. The other surly, nasty drunk of wife-beater lore.

be advised that Protestants are protesters. Thou Protestant too much, me thinks!

That's gonna leave a mark.

While everything she said was both true and relevant, it allowed him to skate by and disregard the question.

I think its a question that needed to be asked, drilled down on, all diversions disregarded. "did you give the order?". Have you given the order. Repeated, simply, ignoring any attempt to divert the discussion, until he answers.

and performative. He's just playing to an audience of fucking modern Republicans, who are the only people alive stupid enough to not see through it.

Spell it out, reclaim time, repeat, demand.

Even before this interview? Cause I didn't. If it's not our military doing it, it will be trumpy's brownshirts of militia. Which is something else that needs to be outlawed and all disbanded once we get our country back. The United States is (was) a first world nation with a functioning military. It no longer needs "militias" to defend itself. And, if you think they're suppose to only be for the states to use in emergency, that's what the National Guard are for. But then, I'd pull back gun rights to try to limit the number of murders and accidental deaths we have via their proliferate use. I'd love to have them outlawed, but then only outlaws would have them, right? /snark

I always get an adrenaline rush (and not the good kind) when we start talking about guns and shooting civilians. I know, deep in my gut, it's gonna happen. And I dread it with all I have. We lost so many during the first Civil War, and that was even with clear delineators of Blue and Grey. Today, we're all mixed up in each other's states and cities. There would be no clear lines. But if you have hogsbreath ordering his troops to fire, the civilians aren't just going to stand there and take it. (sigh)

Too bad Esper isn't Defense Secretary now.

Speaking about VonShitzInPantz inciting a mob of his supporters to attack the Capital on January 6th, Esper said "it threatens our democracy."

(The alky would never say something like that about Stinky)

This bombastic, drunken, bible thumper needs to go away.

He's not that uncle type who is a happy drunk. He's just a jerk from a propaganda channel of lying assholes.

I'll put that on my reading list.
