Austin, 71, is a four-star general with 41 years of service in the Army. He earned a Silver Star for his leadership in the Iraq War and later oversaw all combat operations in Iraq as commanding general of United States Forces, as well as military operations in Afghanistan in the 2010s.

Hegseth, a Trump loyalist who previously influenced the former president to pardon a group of military members accused of war crimes, has been outspoken against women serving in combat and is critical of what he calls a “woke” military.


No way does Hegseth qualify for the job. Come on Senators, reject this phony poser.

Consider this.
The dems threw the most they had at Hegseth today. Invoked his daughter, tried to Kavanaugh him, called him a drunk. But they don't have anything.

This was their best shot at derailing a nomination. The others will eat the half-stoned dem Senators alive. I'm especially looking forward to Pam Bondi shredding those losers.

This was their best shot...and Hegseth is going to be confirmed without a problem.

In Pam Bondi, we will finally have an Attorney General who will eagerly prosecute the president’s political enemies.

Kash will round em up and Pam will put em away.

We've already had one. His name is Merrick Garland.

What you mean to say is we'll have a good AG for once.

Garland dragged his feet for two years until the January 6 committee made it impossible NOT to proceed.

As it is, a compliant federal judge in Florida committed legal malpractice to kill one federal case, and a slow walking Supreme Court killed the other, while simultaneously pulling a novel legal doctrine out of thin air that granted presidential authority to assassinate political rivals.

You’ll note that Joe Biden didn’t use that power.

We won’t be so lucky with the next guy. He’s been yammering about his presidential immunity for the last two years.

Garland leaned on the people Biden wanted leaned on and looked the other way when Biden wanted him to look the other way. Like the border, for example.

Thank God this abortion of an administration is over in less than 6 days. We’re going to see a MASSIVE outbreak of common sense come flooding back into the country.

As it is, a compliant federal judge

Misinformation. Jack Smith was NEVER legally appointed. When you do that your entire case becomes fruits of a poisoned tree.

That's speculation on your part. No one knows how many conservative justices agree with Clarence.

28 U.S. Code § 533 - Investigative and other officials; appointment

The Attorney General may appoint officials—
(1) to detect and prosecute crimes against the United States;
(2) to assist in the protection of the person of the President; and [1]
(3) to assist in the protection of the person of the Attorney General.[2]
(4) to conduct such other investigations regarding official matters under the control of the Department of Justice and the Department of State as may be directed by the Attorney General.

This section does not limit the authority of departments and agencies to investigate crimes against the United States when investigative jurisdiction has been assigned by law to such departments and agencies

Looks pretty clear. Do you know how Clarence disagreed with the above?

Nope. That’s from Judge Cannon’s ruling.

His appointment was unconstitutional.

Kool-Aide? You people don’t bother to drink it. You lay it out on a mirror, grab straws and do lines of it (way better for getting past the blood-brain barrier, amirite?)

Jack Smith’s appointment was unconstitutional. From the start. Which makes his whole exercise BS.

Poor sources used by liberal posters has led to a lack of knowledge about current events.

OK. Now you are being sloppy. Cannon is quoting Clarence's argument which has to be cued up to see how the Supremes will decide and I clearly made the point that no one knows how they will decide. So what I said stands and you have yet to tell me what the argument is.

Oh my God, the Kool-aid is dribbling out of your nose and down your chin. And it’s staining your shirt.

And you don’t even notice

You cited Aileen Cannon as your authority for her ruling???

To quote Dope himself:

“Hahahahaha!”

That's so cute.... 'Judge Cannon's ruling'.

That'd be a great title for the Fox judge show when Judge Pirranha ODs on Botox and strokes out. Fox's greatest minds. "We lie, you decide"

Is it true Judy Ghouliani is gonna represent Steve 'flood the zone with shit' Bannon at his upcoming trial for stealin' patriot build the wall dough?

Austin might had been a good soldier in the distant past but he instilled the WOKE mentality into our military, no doubt by Biden’s puppeteers say so and turning our soldiers into a bunch of sissies.

Remember when Austin went into the hospital and no one missed him, no one noticed he was AWOL? That’s how bad of a job he did as the head of DOD.
Big reason why recruitment has fallen.

No way does Hegseth qualify for the job. Come on Senators, reject this phony

I’m positive Hegseth will do a fine job ridding the WOKE mentality and make our Armed Forces great again.
Hegseth is a Warrior.
Pete Hegseth is an Army veteran of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay, and has earned two Bronze Stars and a Combat Infantryman’s Badge.

I predict recruitment will increase when Pete Hegseth becomes our United States Secretary of Defense.

I’ll take door number two for the win, Alex.

Seriously, she’s not stupid. She graduated magna cum laude from UMich Law School, which confirms her intelligence

But it also confirms my old adage:

“Smart was never a vaccine against crazy.”


Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, JD Vance, Aileen Cannon- all of them smart people.

But they are also examples of what happens when the center of a person’s decision making shifts from the cerebrum to the amygdala.
