So here we go. The first hearing up today, Doug Collins for Veterans Admin, has already been postponed. He turned his paperwork in on time, but the FBI has yet to complete its background check. Delay, delay, delay.

Watching the scum of the Earth whine and cry over everything Trump the next 4 years is going to be so much fun! I hate these people

I have watched every minute so far, but I'm about an hour behind, due to a long phone call.

IMO, the score so far is Hegseth 5, Dem Senators 0.

I honestly thought Gillibrand was going to stroke out. This is fun. Hegseth is killing it.

Democrats is soooo stupid. A question to Hegseth "how would you direct auditors so the DOD passes and audit?" That question is beyond ignorant AUDITORS decide what records to examine and how extensive the testing will be, any direction or leadership by an organizational leader would be inappropriate.

Good grief, the Dem Senators are liars and truth twisters, and instead of asking actual questions, are giving outrageous 7-minute mini tirades.

It's actually embarrassing. Dems have no shame. What Tim Kaine did was beyond the pale. He should be censured for that.

A lot of Repubs voted to confirm Rachel Levine, Buttegeig, Lloyd Austin, etc., and the Dems do this instead.

FIFY. I refuse to give in to validating certain people's mental illness.

Gillibrand and Kaine take the cake so far. But every single Dem on the committee is an embarrassment to the USA.

Liberals in a nut shell.

They're just trying to score "political points" with their lackeys in the media.

Damn, I like Pete; we need more Pete's.

The MOST insulting thing to the American people and Pete Hegseth is allowing Senator Richard Blumenthal (DEMOCRAT CT) to sit on this committee and ask questions. Senator Richard Blumenthal (DEMOCRAT CT) is a KNOWN LIAR when it comes to military service.

When I was working my master's at Emory my roommate was an Ag graduate from the University of Florida. He gave one of the crudest analogies of Congress I had heard, but it's likely dead accurate. He said when Congress talks about vetting candidates for committee positions or judgeships that it was like a chicken molester's society. Every newly elected representative or Senator was given a chicken and the end of their first year the rest of congress inspected it and if it had not been molested, they wouldn't trust or work the newbie. IOW, vetting is making sure they have enough dirt on you and that you wouldn't dare rat them out.

These candidates from Trump for these positions are made up of more than few who haven't really been vetted by the crooks in Congress. They'll lie and say anything about them because they don't trust them to let their business go on as usual.

No way Hirono has an IQ above 75, and I am serious.
