Tim Sheehy leads #Hegseth through questions proving he can load a gun.

Sheehy declares Hegseth qualified to run the entire military.

@GottaLaff

Seems like "lethality" is his buzzword.

Surely he was fed it by #OurConvictedFelonPOTUS

@GottaLaff that was almost unbelievably juvenile. Especially given the women with military expertise on the committee challenging Hegseth.
@GottaLaff his comment about fixing things.... "unfortunately, we're not like CHina" and can't just do whatever whenever, we actually have processes and laws.... fuck this guy.

@GottaLaff

Senator, did #Gumby keep talking after he said he couldn't eXplain himself about ' general standards ' test he is failing at in real time via midwest questions about how weak he would be as a leader of the generals? 🤔

@GottaLaff Is this sarcasm? I am sorry I can no longer tell.

@noondlyt No.

This hearing was a nightmare.

@GottaLaff Thank you for watching. Remember to take more time for yourself as this nightmare gets worse. We should be coming up with a new word for bad in 2025.
@noondlyt YVW, and I always do.
@GottaLaff But provides no information on whether he knows anything about policy or procurement.
And the most important thing about a gun is knowing when NOT to use it.
@GottaLaff proved he is qualified for Quarter Master General at best. AND.... He faltered on what battery went into his scope. A prepared soldier would know and have proper in his everyday carry. Answering a brand name would be the same as answering the bullet questions with "long, round, pointy ones."
