"The VA Task Force now requests all instance of anti-Christian discrimination to Anti-ChristianBiasReporting @va gov. Submissions should include sufficient identifiers such as names, dates, and locations." 2/

If the law doesn't exist anymore and the legal system doesn't matter, why do we need lawyers?

George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social

“Conway opines as to why Biglaw firms aren’t collectively working together to fight what Trump is doing and protect the legal system as we know it, and he chalks a lot of it up to cowardice.”

Me and Mrs. BTQ were planning on taking a nice EU vacation this summer. Unfortunately that plan was canceled due to...*everything*

Charles Payne: "A couple days ago Bank of America came out with their credit card data, & it was scary. I mean, shocking declines in restaurants, airlines, lodging. Just look at the most recent poll of people who said they're gonna go traveling soon. It has plunged. I think the boom times are over."

When you get banned from Twitter and they take away all of your follows and following Musk tries to shove the anti-woke BS down your throat in the For You. It feels like a lame attempt at deprogramming, and/or an attempt at programming new users, gross.

If you follow this account over at the bad place (X), unfortunately Elon and his merry band of dipshits decided that I no longer have a voice. They don't know that I have plenty of alt accounts that I can repurpose...

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Doesn't commit for aid for Americans. Does commit to aid for law enforcement to forcibly remove people (which will include Americans). What ever happened to helping Americans?

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

WATCH: “No, I won’t commit that.” Speaker Johnson refuses to say there won’t be “strings attached” to disaster aid for California.

Trump blocked Tiktok in 2020. Biden rescinds the ban in 2021. MAGA loses their mind for over three years about CCP influence. MAGA also loses their mind about NPR and PBS being gov-funded. Tiktok is banned and Trump says he will save it and give the US 50% ownership. Wtf...

Hegseth: "Yes I would, and quite frankly already thinking about how to invade our allies"

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

HIRONO: Would you carry out an order from President Trump to seize Greenland, a territory of our NATO ally Denmark, by force? HEGSETH: President Trump received 77 million votes-- HIRONO: We're not talking about the election

The military shooting US citizens who are lawfully protesting will not be viewed lightly.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

HIRONO: Would you carry out an order from President Trump to shoot protesters in the legs? HEGSETH: *dodges question* HIRONO: That sounds to me that you would comply with such an order. You still shoot protesters in the legs HEGSETH: *silent*

Hegseth a month ago: "I will stop drinking if I get the Sec of Def job" Hegseth today: "I will not commit to resign if I drink on the job"

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Wow -- Hegseth steamrolls Hirono as she tries to ask him about accusations of being drunk on the job. He then dodges a question about if he'll commit to resign as sec def if he drinks on the job

HEGSETH: "I was completely cleared because I was able to pay off the person that accused me and force her to sign and NDA"

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

HEGSETH: I was falsely accused in October 2017. It was fully investigated. And I was completely cleared HIRONO: I don't think 'completely cleared' is accurate

What I heard: "We will raise standards to levels that women are unable to reach to force them out of the combat roles they have rightfully earned"

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Hegseth: "Yes, women will have access to ground combat roles -- *given* the standards remain high. And we'll have a review to ensure the standards have not been eroded in any one of those cases. That'll be part of one of the first things we do at the Pentagon."

Sounds like Hegseth needs an expanded FBI background check.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

BLUMENTHAL: I assume you'd be willing to submit to an expanded FBI background check HEGSETH: I'm not charge of FBI background checks BLUMENTHAL: But you would submit to it and support it? HEGSETH: I'm not charge of FBI background checks *takes a big gulp of water*

Blumenthal: "You really suck at running things, don't you?" Hegseth: "Yeah, but I'm very proud of being utterly useless"

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Hegseth does not deny a line of questioning from Blumenthal detailing how Hegseth ran a veterans nonprofit into the ground

If your own unit thinks you're an extremist, it's not just because of a tattoo. It takes much more for unit commanders to take a hard look at you, INCLUDING your behavior. Totally outed himself as a Blue Falcon (Blue Falcon=BF=Buddy Fucker=someone who would screw over their buddy in a foxhole).

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Hegseth: "I volunteered to guard the inauguration of Joe Biden but was denied the opportunity to serve because I was identified as an extremist by my own unit for a Christian tattoo." (Hegseth at the time was a January 6 hype man on Fox)

Gillibrand: "It's a silly thing to say [that a mom can't be lethal on the battlefield]" No, it's not silly, it's sexist.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Gillibrand: "You said in your statement 'you don't want politics in the DoD.' Everything you've said is politics. 'I don't want women, I don't want moms.' What's wrong with a mom, by the way? Once you have babies you're no longer able to be lethal? ... it's a silly thing to say."

Why should someone who makes up shit be given a position in the government? This question isn't just about Hegseth...

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

GILLIBRAND: Give me one example. I get you're making these generalized statements HEGSETH: Commanders meet quotas to have a certain numbers of female infantry officers GILLIBRAND: Commanders do not have to have a quota for commanders in the infantry. That does not exist.

I hope all you Palestinian protest Trump and no-votes are happy with this answer. "Pave paradise and put up a parking lot"

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

COTTON: Do you consider yourself a Christian Zionist? HEGSETH: I'm a Christian and I robustly support the state of Israel and its existential defense and the way American comes alongside them as their great ally ... I support Israel killing every last member of Hamas

That's exactly what the military already does. If someone is unable to perform their military duties they are recycled/reclassed into a new role. Hegseth and Cotton are fucking idiots.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Hegseth suggests that women serving in combat roles if they can't meet the same standards as men is a bad idea and something Trump may reconsider

😂 Someone close to the microphone sighed quite loudly once Hegseth started talking

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

SHAHEEN: Will you commit to preserving the women, peace, and security law at the DoD? HEGSETH: I will commit to reviewing it SHAHEEN: Well since former President Trump signed the law, I hope he agrees with you

HEGSETH: "Women shouldn't be in the military" Also HEGSETH: "We have a recruiting crisis" If you think you have a recruitment crisis now, wait until you kick all the women out of the military.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Shaheen: "Should we take it that you believe that the two women on this committee who have served honorably and with distinction made our military less effective and less capable?"

It's hilarious (it's really not) that Hegseth completely and utterly discredits himself on his own view on women in the military and combat roles.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Shaheen: "Should we take it that you believe that the two women on this committee who have served honorably and with distinction made our military less effective and less capable?"

REED: "What is a jagoff?" HEGSETH: "Me" REED: "Correct"

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

REED: Would you explain what a jagoff is? HEGSETH: I don't think I need to REED: Why? HEGSETH: Because the men & women watching understand REED: Perhaps some of my colleagues don't understand HEGSETH: It would be a jag officer who puts his or her own priorities in front of the warfighters

Reed is correctly identifying that Hegseth's proposed changes to the military would weaken the US. But when that's the plan handed to you by the Russian-in-Chief that you can't say out loud, what are you supposed to do?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Reed: "All of your public comments don't talk meritocracy. They talk about liberal democratic efforts that are destroying the military, 'those people are our enemies.' That's not meritocracy. That's a political view. Your goal as I see it emerging is to politicize the military"

MAGA doesn't want people to see the report, why? Because it is absolutely devastating to Hegseth, which is exactly why it should be released.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Wicker shuts down Reed's request to make the Pete Hegseth FBI report available to all members

Wicker stutters soooo much denying this request. Why is he so scared?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Wicker shuts down Reed's request for a second round of questions (second rounds are quite standards during confirmation hearings of this sort)

Hegseth is lying saying he, and Trump cares about the troops. If they care so much, why are they trying to gut the VA?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Wicker begins his questioning: "Let's get into this allegation about, um, sexual assault, inappropriate workplace behavior, alcohol abuse, and financial mismanagement ..." Hegseth claims it's a "coordinated smear campaign orchestrated in the media against us."

Hegseth said he's gonna address the recruiting crisis back to the military. He doesn't know why the military has a recruiting crisis. I wonder when they'll announce mandatory conscription as a 'fix' to get more people to join the military.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

a third demonstrator interrupts Hegseth's opening statement and is dragged out

"[Trump tasked me to] bring the Pentagon back to warfighting" Against who, exactly? Just China? Then why doesn't Trump renounce and close all the business that him and his family have with China?
