Joni Ernst does not need any "sources" to discern that Hegseth is wildly unqualified and inappropriate for the job. That is the truth and she knows it.

She should be leading the opposition to this man who is the antithesis of everything she said she cared about in the military.

I don't put other women down, but I have to say something. I'm at rape survivor and I want to say this to Ernst. "You dumb fucking bitch. How will women ever progress and get equality when women like YOU champion the rapists and abusers? I struggle with the fact that you were raped yet you are offering the United States on a silver platter to all the fucking rapists and sexual abusers in power!" So fucked.

So if Maga threatens the Republicans every time they disagree with them we are doomed. How about her constituents that don't support the ruin of our country? Won't they vote her out if she approves these insane nominations???

As horrible as all the Trump nominees, why are their personality and ideologic faults the main focus of the outcry? Looking at who just got elected as president, clearly these are not deal breakers. Will the senate hearings cover their dire lack of experience and highlight how much they don't know about the scope of the jobs? (Of course this is obviously not a deal breaker either.) If the hearings are job interviews, then qualifications should be covered, as these would be a solid basis for not confirming (Pete's a great guy, just doesn't have enough experience). They wouldn't have to posture over the ideological leanings that would eliminate anyone from serious consideration in a sane proceeding. Maybe this is being talked about, but not as fun for the MSM to cover, so we don't hear about it.
