Accused of sexual assault
Isn’t that a prerequisite for a position in the Trump autocracy?
He’ll fit right in
That’s not what she said.
Fascists gonna fascist
This guy looks like the stereotypical mob flick crooked mayor
Did any dems vote “yay” for this dude?
All 47 Dems voted no, 3 Republicans defected and voted no (McConnell, Murkowski, and Collins), and Vance did a tie break vote.
Mcconnell defecting is indication of how truly fucked we are
Not unless his vote killed it. They all talked in the backroom. This was merely a signal to trump.
so were even more fucked
We’re* 🥲
FUCK. I swear I’m better than that.

Any Republicans who “defected” did so in a calculated way. They didn’t follow their moral compass or think it was the right thing to do, it was pure politics.
All 47 member of the Democratic Caucus voted against Hegseth. They were joined in their opposition by three Republicans: Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine.

Donnie’s ideal guy.
When do the fucking crusades begin?
Defund the military
I’m betting on China winning the next conflict
of course he was; those are qualifications now.
Libs gonna be shocked when the empire continues to function almost exactly the same.
I wonder if the dems realize that these accusations hurt the dems more than they hurt the accused? They look like buffoons at this point.
Dems look like baffoons because:
A woman accused Hegseth of raping her at a 2017 conference in Monterey, California, according to a police report unearthed by the Washington Post. No charges were filed, but Hegseth later paid the woman $50,000, according to written answers to questions Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) posed to the nominee.
In an affidavit submitted to the Senate on Tuesday, Hegseth’s former sister-in-law said that Hegseth was “abusive” towards his ex-wife, who had an escape plan involving texting a safe word to friends and family and, on at least one occasion, hid in her closet out of fear.
How does that work in your head?
Big shock that you’re standing up for a drunken blowhard just because he’s a fascist.
Never would have expected that from you.
Republicans confirmed this guy? I am confused why you think this reflects on the Democrats?
The problem is you’re framing the accusations as if they’re just accusations without proof when they’re not. Regardless of that, in a plainly misogynistic move, you’re also assuming the women aren’t being truthful.
It only makes the Dems “hurt more” if you’re viewing it through that prism. In reality, where this shit is fucked up and is happening, the GOP is confirming a terrible person. Confirmations used to be largely bipartisan and mostly a walk through, now one party just ignores the other because the moral compass is so far apart compromise is impossible. You can’t compromise with amoral fascist lovers. So yeah of course none of the Dems voted for him.
Why choose to be a worthless lying POS
Connect these dots for me
It comes off like they’re just trying to defame them, like the Dems are lying and persecuting their political opponents, like the Nazis did.
Stating bad things someone has truly, actually, probably done is not defamation. Is everyone immune from criticism because stupid people also use criticism?
Perspective depends largely on one’s preferred flavor of capitalist/imperialist narrative.
