[@Polantaris]

Right? That comment about them being drunk to vote is not the defense he thinks it is. None of them are qualified for their positions if they can't even be sober long enough to do their jobs. Any one of us would be fired if we showed up to work drunk, why are Senators magically excluded from this when their jobs are significantly more important? He basically ratted out a bunch of Senators to try and make Hegseth look better and it didn't even accomplish that goal.

[@lisatbury]

totally agree with Alyssa. I was so frustrated watching the hearings spend a lot of time on his character. America elected Trump again. Character doesn’t seem to matter to many republicans. There was so many less questions about his experience for the role he is nominated for. Duckworth and Blumenthal were the two strongest interviewers. Focusing on character in the hearings may not sway ANY republican politicians, but shining a strong light on his lack of experience may. Just my take.

[@anonmouse6337]

Like this is the first time they're learning of his inexperience? Lol, they're going to confirm whoever T puts up, regardless of qualification. The character attacks are clearly for the public, because the media is more likely to focus on that than the technical aspects of the job that most people do not know anything about.
