I hope Trump puts pressure on senators so the smear campaign does not work. The smear jobs will be done on every cabinet nomination so it is time to start playing hard ball.
GEE, I wonder what time Hillary and Nancy start chugging…..
If the GOP Women in the Senate cannot resist the “Me Too” crap pulled off by the Democrats and thus go Tribal against their base, what is the point of even nominating GOP Women?
Newsmax Greg Kelly is doing a hit job on Pete Hegseth, which seems to be a personal beef he has with Pete’s background.

“One, the displayed drinks had been sitting out for hours and were stale and warm;”
~~~
Out of the whole (excerpted) article, this is the only thing that compels me to comment.
Warm and flat, perhaps.
A few hours out at room temp wont make beer “stale” /nitpick
When I was in the Navy ( Vietnam), you were weird if you didn’t drink like a fish and screw everything possible...
“Drinking a beer” and drunkenness are two very different things. Now if it is in the past and he’s stopped drinking, fine and dandy as to his current qualifications. But if he is an alcoholic and has issues with alcohol abuse at present then he would not be suited for a job like this where he needs to be on call 24/7 in a potential crisis situation. There are plenty of infantrymen who don’t get drunk and who don’t drink at all. This stereotype that everyone in the military sleeps around and gets drunk is ridiculous and demeaning.
And this isn’t exactly comparable to Kavanaugh - Hegseth knew all of these allegations, true or not, were in his background and would likely be brought to the forefront by accepting this nomination - he obviously knew about his drinking, the alleged liaisons, the lawsuit, him being forced out of leadership of two different organizations, etc. Kavanaugh was blindsided by an 11th hour allegation that he knew nothing about that supposedly occurred when he was a teenager in high school that was manufactured after the nomination just to derail it.
It is discouraging to watch how easily the smear media influences certain GOP senators.
Abraham Lincoln quote: “Find out what kind of whiskey General Grant drinks, so I can buy some of it for the rest of my Generals.”
Unbelievable, these same pieces of s..t through the years have voted to confirm dumb,communists, morally defective RATS.
We used to joke that smoking pot was a gateway to *gasp* drinking beer!
The mere idea that Fauxcahontas is playing point woman for the ash heap that is the Democrat Party makes no sense. None. She’s either freelancing or there is a complete void of party leadership right this second. All the more reason to run over all of these creeps and confirm Hegseth.
