BREAKING: The Senate has just voted to confirm Pete Hegseth, a drunken, out-of-control abuser, as the weakest Secretary of Defense in history. This was the closest vote for SecDef, needing the weird couch guy to break the tie. It's a sad day for America. Hegseth is a DUI hire.
holy fuck.
Disgusting
Is he by any chance besties with Brett Kavanaugh?
Probably not. But maybe with Putin. Remember when a bunch of Fox execs were sanctioned for helping Putin setup a propaganda network?
A sad day for America. We can no longer trust the decisions coming out of this administration. They will be the downfall of this country.
From what I have read, it’s become a problem in other free nations and NATO countries by the same type of nefarious characters.
I am so disgusted that Sen Joni Ernst, Tillis ultimately voted for this miserable human.
Maybe Biden and Garland should have taken the "law and order" thing more seriously.
I'll give the weekend before he makes the news about being drunk in DC. They just cut the head off the military.
He’s the kinda guy to use the Military on the American people
There's been a lot of shitty news this week. This is the shittiest.
This is the shittiest so far…
Yeah, I think I just heard PH say, "Hold my beer."
Now, I'm going to have to file another DEI report for an unqualified white guy who got a job for sucking off the President at DEIAreports@opm.gov, and be sure to copy amanda.scales@opm.gov
Because the primary criterion is loyalty.
I can almost hear our enemies cheering.
Dem Senator Fetterman actually cast the deciding vote! What a traitor.
No, he's not that bad. rollcall.com/2025/01/24/s... The day before he voted with Republicans to allow the vote, but that's different.
Couch man JD Vance the VP cast the tie breaker 51-50 vote. Fetterman D-PA, Collins R-Me, Murkowski R-Alaska and YES Moscow Mitch McConnell voted with the Democrats. Quit propagandizing false information.
Seems almost like the goal is not to make America great but to punish America.
Will liquor stores be doing background checks to make sure he doesn't drink while in the position? He promised to stop. Promises made, lies kept.
He's an alcoholic. He won't stop. We should verify if he's going to AA meetings at the very least.
😡😡😡👎
PATHETIC!! Every single republican who voted for this incompetent, alcoholic, sexual predator has blood on their hands! They own this lock stock and barrel!!! Fuck maga!
The alcoholic tattooed Christian Nationalist Secretary of Defense. Dear MAGA, are you not entertained? www.aol.com/tattooed-sec...
Despite our many blessings we have a stupid stupid country. When did character and experience stop mattering,?
The utter disrespect these Senators have shown to our military....
So women made them make the recruiting numbers! So now they lose so many? They may need to draft for the War, War,war they plan! 20,000 troops coming home from Europe yanked out! To trailers and tents on the Border! Hooraaaahhhh
God save our country
Not qualified enough to me a DEI hire
Exactly
Susan Collins Mitch McConnell Lisa Murkowski of ..we're the republican no votes
We are in trouble, and hope something doesn’t happen to hurt this country or the people in it because of him.
What General in the pentagon will respect such a loser ! They will laugh behind his back, delay and/or not follow his orders, and undermine his authority at every opportunity. That drunk is in for a life of pain and misery.
The next step is to replace all those generals with the J6 crowd.
And people say it can't be done...
The drunk women beater won’t last a 1/2 year ! The General staff will run him out on a rail.
I'm not going to underestimate what he's willing to do.
Then we're all doomed, and it's only a matter of time before we are invaded. 😞
It's a pretty easy hop to Alaska from Russia. Or, he'll give that over, then the US and Russia can pin Canada.
He'd be the biggest clown on the planet if he trusted Russia to not invade us.
Russia can’t beat Ukraine !! How would they beat America with the world’s best Military and 400 million private firearms ? No chance !!
Who says Russia would have to beat anyone? Half the country would be ready to hand it over willingly. And look at who controls the military now.
Half the country is incorrect ! Maybe 1/3. The military on the other hand wouldn’t just stand by and watch, neither will all the armed citizens. Russia can’t beat Ukraine so how will they beat the strongest military in history !
China and Russia are celebrating.
How did he celebrate…?
congratulations Pete Hegseth on your Nazi tattoo I mean your confirmation
otoh in short order we will be utterly unable to invade other countries or try to seize territory
The GOP has lost all credibility. They can no longer claim to be for national security or Pro-Military. They voted for the supremely unqualified drunk frat-Bro (also white christian nationalist misogynistic possible rapist)
America is now run like Russia, by Trump and his MAGA crime-cult organization.
It’s up to the military to speak up
Even they have a breaking point, though. For me it would be medical care after service. Why do we need Wounded Warrior charities?? The govt should cover your care if you are hurt in service. Period. Let them eliminate the VA and send soldiers after citizens. Remove deserving women…
The irony being that there's a long history of vets usually voting Republican despite the fact that it's ALWAYS republicans blocking veterans benefits, medical care..literally voting against anything that benefits the vets It's hard to understand how people vote directly against their best interest
Why? Republicans are weak leaders and bad with the economy.
Fear sells .. and Republicans are great at messaging their fear mongering propaganda.
Well, then maybe some military personnel will be experiencing some cognitive dissonance in the future
Disgraceful!
Has the Fn audacity about standards and DEI! This is a disgrace, as a veteran who served 84-04, I know what's it's like to b there whn men don't give a F abt women, whn women aren't safe, when we're seen as a distraction, whn leadership is incompetent! trumph is destroying t country as ppl cheer!
#WeToldYouSo
Does Vance have a predilection for men who've committed sexual assault?
Well we are about to see how this works out. Watch out Greenland, Canada & Panama.
Wow how embarrassing we are so screwed with this nut job leading the military..this is a bad omen
The token oppositional votes were orchestrated by the MAGA party.
We’re doomed.
NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT = INSTALLED
Trump is also a DUI hire. Only dumb, uneducated and ignorant people voted for him
I feel bad for American soldiers.
THEY elect a clown and WE get a fucking circus!!
Just another embarrassment. #Disgusted
Putin is finally getting his money’s worth. ps: edit button, please.
Vladimir Futon has spoken.
I like this photo. Very dignified. Frame it and hang it in the hallway.
He better not fuk it up or they should be held responsible. Please prove us wrong, Hegseth. You can do it. Sigh, fuk. Scary days ahead.
He’ll fail and get people killed. 😞
Dreadful.
JFC!
Trump is taking "coup-proofing" measures to prevent a coup, such as reassigning military elites to different posts and reducing military capacity through incompetence and loyalty. Unfortunately these measures can also decrease the military's effectiveness in combating external security threats.
#shameonusall
I love that! DUI Hire. Lol.
EVERY ONE OF OUR ENEMIES ARE JUST WAITING FOR HIM TO BE SWORN IN! 💣💥
The Senate narrowly confirmed Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, with the Vice President breaking the tie. Critics highlight his controversial behavior, including alleged abuse and a DUI history, calling his appointment a low point for national defense leadership.
Fucking BS.
Fuck the DUI shit. He was militarily unqualified for the job. We should have focused on that. You do realize these idiots voted for a convicted felon. If we had focused on the importance of National Security, etc instead of the salacious, it would have pressured more Senators. JMHO.
This is the WORST reality show I’ve ever seen & I can’t even turn it off. 😩
Remember in 2016 when a weasel chewed through cables of the Hadron Collider and fried itself? I think about that. Maybe, things...shifted.
Very sad indeed 😭😢😩
I don’t get it! I don’t freaking get it! Hes so unqualified for the job! Wth!!
Fuck America!!
History from his first term tells us there’s a very good chance he won’t make it til Christmas maybe sooner.
Where can we seek political asylum?
While all that is likely true, the GLARING FACT that this dude isn't even qualified to run a Tractor Supply store is the scariest part of him getting confirmed. We expected the overindulging and treatment of women to be the thing that took him down? This is the gop we're talking about here.
He's white and longs for an idealized time prior to the year 1954, that's all the qualifications this "administration" needs. Guess which major historical event started in 1954 and will likely need to happen again.
This is just freaking crazy! All of this just makes my head explode. 🤯
What a joke.
Bring them down in 2026. WTF America?
How long before Pete falls off the wagon?
It’s Senator Ernst we should all be calling. Now we are stuck depending on the personal integrity of individual soldiers to have a conscience.
Screw the bitch, no respect for her fellow military colleagues. So, so sad!
Loser. Cheater. Drunkard. Abuser.
So are they going to immediately give him leave and then fire him for being a DEI hire? Because if I’ve ever seen one this is it. It’s like watching “Silence of the Lambs” and thinking Starling would make a good AG. 💀💀💀
Feeling helpless.
😢
Or could he be a DEI hire and tRump, sensitive woke soul that he is, wanted to be all inclusive and have an abusive alcoholic in the cabinet. Should the authorities at DEIAtruth@opn.gov be notified of this transgression?
Fuck that guy.
running
A sad day among so many sad days!
Cabinet full of perverts
Seriously
Yeah... Thanks a lot, couch-fucker the fake VP's butt-buddy
No, seriously what the fuck world did we wake up to!
As an Australian, this just confirms that we seriously have to stop sharing secrets with you guys... like yesterday!
Definitely don’t tell the new administration anything!
Oh, weird couch guy still around? I thought maybe he had been tossed in the landfill. Haven’t even seen or heard of him in days.
He is a Nazi and that is all
Can part of his job description require AA meetings? What a sh&tshow and it’s only been 5 days. I’m already exhausted by this second round of the felon
Guys, alcoholism is a serious condition, destroying thousands of lives a year. This guy's just suffers from "Douchebag-itis".
Dems s/b stocking Hegseth's orbit w/attractive female agents who know how to record secretly. Once a horndog always a horndog. It worked when R's did it to B. Clinton. Wait a bit & host a Champagne Reception. Hegseth won't be able to stand others drinking & partying. Female agents s/b all over him!
Indeed.
Fcuk, fcuk, fcukity fcuk
PETE SAID DON'T WORRY THE ONLY THINGS I HAVE TO KNOW TO BE THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE IS WHERE IS THE LIQUOR CABINET AND WHERE ARE THE LAUNCH CODES FOR THE NUCLEAR MISSILES !
His name is VLADIMIR FUTON. Show some f’ing respect
We are a banana republic. 😔
Heard Pete yell,Drinks on the House! when he got confirmed.
I cannot stop thinking about his victim whom he paid 50K to be quiet, who had bruises on her. What must she be feeling now? What about the soldiers who have to take orders from a man who deserves no one's respect. Very sad day.
DUI hire. Hehe.
Disgusting! Total woman hater and white supremacist.
Trump's competent minions will be able to run it behind the scenes--that and the intelligence community too. I wonder for whose benefit, Putin or MBS or Erdoğan or whoever's paying?
Trump is unfit. The list of crap he’s done already shows someone hell bent on bringing down the country and its institutions. Incredible pressure should be being brought on Republicans to do the right thing and remove this threat from office.
For MAGA GOP in Congress, unfit = fit …for their voters, same
😔
How many Democrats voted for him?
ALL Democrat's voted NO plus 3 GOP. Couchman JD Vance broke the tie as a DEI hire.
none i thing and 3 rep. the couch fucker broke the tie for 2 or 3 time in history or something like that
We are officially the most fucked up country.
I am so thankful my husband is retiring out of the military very soon.
So, a good time to open a liquor store in the US? 🤔
it’s an insult to all military members who VOLUNTEER to defend this country and its allies, what must they be thinking tonight
What could go wrong? Trump’s happy, and spineless @housegop.bsky.social & @senategop.bsky.social get to live another day.
So pathetic!!
The maga congressmen have just revealed themselves to be even more disgusting and perverted than Hegseth. Otherwise, theirstandards would have been higher. If Hegseth is one of their best, it doesn't say much for the party. Even my cat has better self control than the members of MAGA leadership.
Awful choice, especially in today’s world!
One person happy with this!!!
This will be the end of this country... this regime is rotten to the very core
Yikes! America you really are scraping the bottom of the barrel!
This is who they voted for 🤦♀️ what a disgrace!
We are SOOOO F*CKED!
Shame on Joni Ernst!
Fuck the gop
Eeeeewwww. Couch banger guy..
He’s drunk right now I’ll bet cha
Every dark day makes me feel less safe. It’s only been 5 days 😔
I’d love to be a fly on the wall during the meetings he has with four star generals. I hope they grill him with QUESTIONS he has no idea how to answer.
Love the “DUI” hire. I may have to steal from you.
Let's hope Pete is sober for his swearing in.
I was laughing when this guy was talking about meritocracy. This guy couldn't be further from gaining the position based on merit.
Worst. Administration. Ever. And it's only been week one.
Definitely going to be worse than Trump’s first go around as commander and chief.
Imagine the next four years of this garbage. 🤦♀️
We are a joke!
A very bad joke.
You got that right 😔.
I hope they then took him out for drinks to celebrate
Move to Ireland for the time being.
I wish I could! That would be a dream come true.
😡💙!
Let’s start Articles of Impeachment NOW!
GOP is dead. America is now run by Trump and his MAGA Nazi criminal cult which do what they are told.
You just know he got all fucked up to celebrate
I hope we can measure the length of his service in fractions of a scaramucci.
Why are all these guys so creepy!🤮🤮🤮🤮
It's a feature!
I see what you did there… somehow I hoped that one of the men on the Senate side would grow a pair, but once again, women prove that the vagina is a much more apt metaphor.
Proof once again that republicans are not actually serious about governing. It's all a big fucking game to them.
THIS is a DEI appointment if there ever was one. The DUI joke was one thing but it's official now and he has NO experience and will bleed the DoD dry handing over money to the Grand Oligarch Party. I was calling them that in 2015 and now THAT's also official.
So what’s their end game putting an amoral active alcoholic with rage & sexual control issues as well as extreme zealot Christian beliefs in charge of the entire US military? What do they want this monster to do that no one else can or will? What’s the reverse logic in this? Failure or massacre?
He was picked for his willingness to use military force against civilians. We’re actively becoming Syria under Assad. No wonder Trump picked Gabbard too.
He wants to destroy all government and have a military SS.
History repeating itself.
You know as well as we all do. Own the libs, that’s it.
I’m guessing their idea of “owning” includes public humiliation & personal destitution. If they can & if they must, the military will assist with few restraints.
America, the dark comedy.
This is terrible for the military and the US.
He’s twice the man you could ever hope to be.
omg…. unbelievable this guy got approved.
😢🥺☹️😞😥😪
Sad state of what's left of the GOP.
Im so sick of this already !!
It's all laughs until our military is killing our own in the street. You people need to get your act together and stop joking around. Either fight or GTFO, the time for jokes are over. GROW UP!
NEW NORM: THE MOST UNQUALIFIED ARE THE MOST QUALIFIED IN THIS ADMINISTRATION. “Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't” Mark Twain.
He’s obviously unqualified. Let’s see how long this dumbshit keeps his job.
😢
It’s a dangerous decision.
Fuck Joni Ernst. She knows he is not fit but she succumbed to felon47 pressure to save herself from being primaried.
No integrity and no courage.
Another win for the privileged white bro club. This Administration is moving more quickly to end our nation as we know it than we could imagine. Wow.
Itll be handed over to putin soon
#ItsAHeist that happened when Elon got rooms at the WH
Everything this shitty rotten lousy President does is infuriating.
And it’s only Saturday
It's been a week of hell.
It's going to take 50 years to undo his dumb ass fuckery
If they confirmed Hesgeth, then they are all getting confirmed.
Who voted yes?
#DUI hire. That's it right there.
How can they Confirm this guy?? Everyone getting paid now!?
Anyone in industry with half his background wouldn’t be allowed the lowest security clearance and he’ll have the highest. Terrible. Another path for Putin to get Americas secrets.
Hegseth: “What! Don’t bother me with that now.” Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO: “But, sir, respectfully…” Hegseth interrupts, shouting: “Dammit! Can’t you see I’ve got a headache? Get me a coffee. And some aspirin.”
Call him DUI hire for the rest of the 4 yrs
He wrote four books about starting a white nationalist civil war.
If say it's amusing that people actually thought he wouldn't be voted in, but it's just sad. They are going to do exactly what they want and no one is going to stop them.
WTF??????
All the best wars were started by drunks.
He is a white supremacist & facist. Nazi loving drunk
Aside from the alcohol problem, he’s also an uneducated, sexist, bigoted white supremacist and christofascist.
There’s that. 😪🤯
Who’s going to enforce Hegseth’s commitment to stop drinking once confirmed? Breathalyzers at the front door of the Pentagon? Daily urine testing? Senate Republicans will own all of trump’s incompetent cabinet picks. May you feel the heat of a thousand suns every day.
The Russians that will be in the pentagon
We’re being invaded via trump. They want to tear it all down from the inside out.
What what what….wait now. Please try to remember he’s shaking things up… like he did for the postal service last time and look at all the good things that have come from that…’just… look at it.
what can go fucking wrong???????????????
So while he's drinking a beer in the bathroom, who will be running the Defence Dept?
Weak leadership makes the nation appear weak, our enemies are watching.
I keep humming Hamilton: the world turned upside down..
Also, a DUH hire.Vacuous sycophant who likely won't make it six months.
