Yep this "movie" reminds me of Thelma and Louise except at least those two women had a legitimate score to settle which led them into their suicide pact. We are all being dragged along into this one and the potential end is the same, mutual destruction. The confirmation of P Hegseth as Secretary of Defense is likely to go down as one of the most tragic moments in this drama, with a man totally unqualified being elevated to one of the most important positions in our government, fingers now attached to the nuclear codes which can wreak destruction n on the entire world..
"The world may not remember what we say here but it will long remember what we do here. " Abraham Lincoln who is undoubtedly lying prostrate in his grave at this grotesque moment in our history.
Well, Jon, it seems he'll first have to let go of either a woman in one hand or a bottle in the other before he attaches those fingers to the nuclear codes.
I always considered Senators to be more sober- and forward-thinking than their House counterparts; it's they who ratify treaties and confirm SC justices, after all.
The late Sen Warren Rudman (R-NH) from my hometown, whom I knew, said this of his fellow Republicans in his memoir:
"The Republican Party is making a terrible mistake if it appears to ally itself with the Christian right. There are some fine, sincere people in its ranks, but there are also enough anti-abortion zealots, would-be censors, homophobes, bigots and latter-day Elmer Gantrys to discredit any party that is unwise enough to embrace such a group."
Jon, I have argued that appointment with friends of mine who do background checks to hire cops. None of them would outright say they would pass him on a background, but equivocate like "I need more information on that." Even when I confront them with his statement "I promise another drop of liquor won't pass my lips IF you confirm me." Red flag if there ever was one.
He wiil be in a drunken rage the first time he has to make a decision and he doesn’t have the brains to do so. What goes around comes around and they will be in a pickle.
Eileen, I say this with respect: we will *all* be in a pickle. The felon is irrational, narcissistic and mercurial. He has no knowledge of history, especially military history. It's all about who has the bigger red button, as he once said.
He could order an action that Hegseth doesn't try to talk him out of, with horrific consequences for all. Hegseth lacks the qualifications and temperance (in all senses) to do the job. And he was fired by 2 veterans organizations for those reasons, along with financial mismanagement.

Barry Goldwater was right!

Ally, Let's start calling Hegseth "Breathalyzer", because he should be tested every 6 hours.
