Just saw it. McConnell voted no. Fetterman did as well, and Murkowski and Collins, but no other Republicans voted no.

What a meaningless, pathetic gesture after he enabled all of this

Well this guy is their problem now. When he shows up to important meetings drunk, they own it. when his higher level suboordinates can't communicate with him effectively because he'll now be in rooms he's never even heard of, they own it.

They have no reason to vote for this guy except for falling in line to Trump and anti woke. He has no actual qualifications, and many disqualifications. Under a Pete led military, I wonder, would Joni Ernst even have HAD A CAREER?

It didn't need to be like this. Lloyd Austin was confirmed 93-2 because he was a pretty smart pick with relevant experience.

We can revel in the fact his public falling out with tha Don and eventual firing in probably under a year will be glorious.

Day 4 sounds like a good time for Vance to grow a spine and be thrown out of a 13th story window later on.

Well...
McConnell never would've voted no if he was still the majority leader. He's just trying to act like he's anti Trump in his last few years, even though he's responsible for Trump more than almost anyone else.

Im out of loop did Fetterman come out as a Republican why he got mentioned in OP as a surprise he voted no.
Hey now.
he's been a shithead for a lot of reasons but he doesn't just vote cavalier for no reason but its worth mentioning because he seemed to warm up to Trump
It's wild that a Fox News host is going to lead DOD. Like it's honestly hard to wrap my head around. That was one of the positions Trump actually took seriously the first time.

Well...

Vance voting no would likely put Trump into such a rage that hed finally die of a heart attack, leaving Vance in charge.

Cmon Vance, you couldve been President!

The United States of America turned its back on Donald Trump in 2020. He only cares about loyalty to himself, and in his eyes, this country is not loyal and as a result he must destroy it because hes a petty little bitch.

That makes a shocking amount of sense.

The dumb fuck was saying positive stuff about Trump. There were even rumors he would switch parties.

Oh ok thanks. The OP had that sentence ending with no other Republicans voted no. That what made me confused.
Hey now.
So we now have a contemptible drunk leading the Department of Defense because our evil, senile President recognized him from his favorite cable news channel. What a miserable timeline we live in.
Thanks for reading!
This guy wouldn't get a security clearance to work in the DoD, but now he's leading it. Wonderful.

And the thing is, there are a ton of Republican politicians who would be at the very least qualified to lead this department, but Trump went with a Fox News host and his entire party was just like "yeah sounds about right". But of course, miraculously, the next terrorist attack or military setback won't be blamed on a contemptible piece of shit like Hegseth, but rather "migrants" and "libs" and the dumb base will just eat it up

And we'll be repeating this with Gabbard, Kennedy and Pitel soon, these people know full well where this road is going to lead and they think they'll be too rich to suffer the consequences or are so deep in the Trumpism they see this shit as a good thing that won't go bad

Did most veterans/ active duty go 70/30 for Trump?

If so these are the exceptions.

I don't know the exact numbers, but I do know that it is absolutely not an homogenous organization and there are definitely people who are not happy about donald being re-elected and *especially* aren't happy at hegseth being selected. And even of the people who voted for donald I don't think everyone expected him to choose someone like hegseth considering he had people like Mattis his first-go-round who was actually a rather level headed and experienced guy

Trump was disappointed that "Mad dog" Mattis wasn't actually a mad dog.

That "mistake" has just been corrected, and Hegseth is just the kind of douchebag to order the military to commit whatever war crimes Trump wants to do.

Let's see if senior military does the right thing then.

Gabbard might even be worse than Hegseth

Hegseth is just a drunken moronic asshole, whereas Gabbard is a literal Russian spy

Will any members of the press ever ask Trump why he's been appointing literal Nazis to such high positions? We know the answer is because Trump is a Nazi himself, but even if he were to admit it, would anything be done?
Without truth, there is nothing.
Just the worst possible picks for every position.

Trump will probably make a mandatory draft for white people to be thrown in the military with no age limit.

It is just frustrating as shit that every. single. word. now is a fucking hypocritical lie and obfuscation.

It's just lying bullshit boilerplate.

We all know what Hegseth's only two jobs are -- 1) relaying Trump's illegal orders to commit war crimes to the military and 2) overseeing a bigoted and ideological purge of the military.

I mean under this guy it will be so much worst, making the woman do laps naked just to keep there jobs or other kinds of clear abuse of power kind of thing with the pro strip club guy in charge.
Hegseth imnediately posted on X that

DoD /= DEI

and anyone championing DEI will be fired.

Burning Question : did Hegseth send out an office memo with the same message? Or does Hegseth assume everyone follows him on X?
