“Pete Hegseth is promising Senators he has stopped drinking and won’t drink if confirmed as Secretary of Defense, according to Senator Eric Schmidt (R-MO), who met with Hegseth yesterday. "He offered up to me, and I know he has with other senators too, that he's not drinking, and that's not something he's going to do when confirmed here," Schmidt told reporters.
As we look at this Hegseth character and others in Trumps orbit, have we ever seen a larger group of bad character white guys that society allows to fail upwards?
These guys have no qualifications, they get dismissed repeatedly from the business and organizations for reasons that would ruin the lives of you and I. Yet their next position is a huge promotion. And in the case of Hegseth, he would potentially be running the largest most expensive and lethal organization in the world.
JONATHAN TURLEY: Joe Biden's pardon of son Hunter cements his legacy as liar in chief Biden's action culminates years of lying to the public about his knowledge and intentions in the influence-peddling scandal surrounding his family.
Biden pardons Hunter on a Sunday, flees to Angola and takes Karine Jean-Pierre. What a sack of Sh*t.
Could Trump supporters tell us how this is different (worse or better) than Trump pardoning Charles Kushner who is family by marriage, Paul Manafort who had undisclosed dealings with oligarchs in Russia/Ukraine, and Roger Stone who lied to Congress about his Trump and Russia connections. There are dozens of other criminals Trump pardoned and will pardon for breaking the law for his favor, but let's stick to just these for comparison to Hunter Biden.
Thanks in advance. Here is some information to get you up to speed.

I will bite. Biden is going to pardon despicable characters like Anthony Fauci, Adam Schiff, and Liz Cheney. These folks have earned the investigations that Kash Patel will undertake and the prosecutions that Bondi will launch.
Charles Kushner paid the price for his crimes and came out a better man. Manafort and Stone were not guilty of the crimes they were charged with. Hunter is still scamming the system. He took advantage of his father's name for his whole life. Those Trump pardoned were better citizens than Hunter. Joe better pardon his brother too or he may end up in jail himself with no one to pardon him.
Liar. You posted, in your "who I voted for" thread, that you voted for Harris.
I thought maybe that was your first Democrat vote. But now I wonder how many other times you've lied about this. You're really shooting your credibility here, kibitzer.
And he says that he’s written letters for an explicitly Democrat partisan organization yet claims to be not a Dem.
Yep, that too. Basically a Democrat who thinks we'll listen to his Democrat hackery if he pretends "not to be a Democrat."

see why joe had to pardon hunter?
this fascist bootlicker poster (or talented troll) will be very happy when the FBI harasses people who have committed no crimes but have different political beliefs than DJT.
The new FBI will harass people DJT doesn't like and the GOP is all there for it.
It's a new era, gents. More like North Korea than the old America.

We've seen this before when Presidents nominate woefully under qualified people for positions of power. These nominations are usually made due to favoritism. Remember Michael Brown, who was doing "a heck of a job" after Katrina? He was an Arabian show horse judge. Had zero experience leading an organization as complicated as FEMA. He blew it, and people died. This should be a lesson that others would learn....but then, we have Trump.
Does anyone feel confident that Hegseth is the right man for the job if the US enters a real shooting war? I don't think the guy has a clue how to lead a department of this size and importance.

The only way Biden can protect us from political law fare is if he issued blanket pardon to every US citizen registered Democrat. Can you imagine how triggered the Ma6a’s would be 🤣 then we just start arresting them for mundane things

Incorrect, Bagdad agip!
Current FBI Director Wray has been a practicioner of lawfare under Sleepy Joe's administration. That ends once Kash Patel takes over.

And look at Harris and Ketanji. 2 DEI picks
Neither one of those is important at all if Trump appeases Putin and Putin decides to send a few armored divisions into the Baltics.

Kushner is a criminal.
On June 30, 2004, Kushner was fined $508,900 by the Federal Election Commission for contributing to Democratic political campaigns in the names of his partnerships when he lacked authorization to do so.[21] In 2005, following an investigation by the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey, US Attorney Chris Christie negotiated a plea agreement with him, under which Kushner pleaded guilty to 18 counts of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering.[22][23][24] The witness tampering charge arose from Kushner's retaliation against William Schulder, his sister Esther's husband, who was cooperating with federal investigators against Kushner.[25] Kushner was sentenced to two years in prison.[22] He served 14 months at Federal Prison Camp, Montgomery in Alabama[26][27] before being sent to a halfway house in Newark, New Jersey, to complete his sentence.[26][27][28] He was released from prison on August 25, 2006
