    I just hope the Dems roll the tape of Hegseth throwing the ax and asking if he had been drinking the night before that happened.

    West Point Drummer no less.

    These Hegseth hearings are worth watching.

    Tim Kaine was throwing haymakers.

    Hegseth looks like a husband backpedaling after getting caught with saucy texts from another woman on his phone.

    Clearly unprepared and in way over his head.

    They really are stunning. He looks like a deer in headlights as he gets hit with big question after big question that he can't answer. I'm astounded that he didn't meet with a single Dem senator in private.

    I'm sure he'll still get confirmed, but he's grossly unqualified and the Dems are doing a good job highlighting that and he's not even following the softballs the GOP are lobbing him (I mean Markwayne Mullin prompted him to praise his wife and then had to remind Hegseth to include praise for her being the mother of (some of) his children.)

    Via Aaron Rupar:

    "Duckworth asks Hegseth to name a country that's in ASEAN. He names three -- none of which are in ASEAN.

    "I suggest you do a little homework," she says.

    The question isn't if Hegseth and the others will get confirmed (RFK Jr. might not, the others will) it's how long they'll last, my guess being not very. Long before July 4, video will surface of a shitfaced Hegseth hitting on some woman in a bar. Others will be caught stealing and Trump will be furious they didn't cut him his share (that's pretty much what happened to Zinke at Interior in the first Trump go-round). The only hope is that they'll fakk for such tawdry reasons rather than from, oh, I don't know, a new pandemic, or a disastrous military operation, or a major terrorist attack. Nothing's ever Trump's fault, after all.
