There really are no words, not in English, that are adequate to describe the ascension of

Pete Hegeseth to be the United States Secretary of Defense, to be atop the chain of command

of 5,000 plus nuclear warheads, the ballistic missile submarines, the captains and the crews, the strategic

bombers, the United States Marine Corps and the Army and the Navy and the Coast Guard and the

Space Force. This is the warning. This is a moment of deep, deep shame and dishonor. And yes, collapse. The founders of this country

envisioned that the Congress, a bicameral legislature made up of two houses, upper and lower.

One, representatives of the people, the House of Representatives, the other, the United States Senate,

to whom was given the responsibility of advising and giving their consent on the president's

nominations, not as a subordinate branch of government, but a co-equal branch of government.

Not so long ago, the United States Senate was

known and admired all over the world has its greatest deliberative body. Think about that.

And then watch this clown from Oklahoma. Mark Wayne Mullen. The senator from Virginia starts

bringing up the fact that what if you showed up drunk to your job?

How many senators have showed up drunk to vote at night?

Have any of you guys asked them to step down and resign for their job?

And don't tell me you haven't seen it because I know you have.

And then how many senators do you know have got a divorce before cheating on their wives?

Did you ask them to step down?

No.

But it's for show.

You guys make sure you make a big show and point out the hypocrisy because the man's made a mistake.

And you want to sit there and say that he's not qualified?
