This seems a pretty strong -and relevant- endorsement for Hegseth

When does the "innocent until proven guilty" idea come into play here in your eyes?.....or does it?

 

Following your logic the kid going to trial in NYC for shooting the insurance exec should be freed from holding because he has yet to be proven guilty.

The prosecution did not declare him innocent as they would have had they felt that was the case , they simply found not enough evidence to convict him. The door is left open as to who is lying, her or him.
A jury can declare innocence as you suggest but not the prosecutor unless the case is clearly frivolous and the prosecutor did no such thing except in the imaginations of believers.

 

Finally! Another rare opportunity to agree with you about something!

In the minds of some of us who were in the military (at one time), and worked closely with the DOD as Prime Contractors for many years afterward, the primary issue with Hegseth is not (NOT) about the man's personal 'amusements', but rather on his knowledge, competency, and experience!

With that focus, I say again, Pete Hegseth is in no way imaginable qualified to be the Secretary of Defense. He may (MAY) have been qualified (as a Major in the Army) to function as a company commander, or be the adjutant to a battalion commander -- but by no stretch of the imagination can this be construed as even remotely near the breadth of administrative competency required of a 'Sec Def'.

 

Unlike the Hegseth case, there is ample evidence to try the case, and hold the accused until trial.

 

Also unlike Hegseth, no brain-dead President elect is trying to appoint him Defense Secretary. I mean... if we're pointing out the differences.

We should keep in mind one thing: the problem here is not Hegseth. I mean, of course, him being Defense Secretary might be a problem for the country. But it is his RIGHT to fight for the job. That is expected. What is unexpected are two things: 1- that we have such an idiot for President Elect that he would even CONSIDER this guy for the position. And 2- that there are all these people DEFENDING the appointment of somebody who is more than likely a sexual abuser. As if there weren't hundreds of people on BOTH parties, who would be more suitable for the job. This is clearly indicates to any moderately intelligent human being that Trump wants a yes-man who will be loyal to HIM.... and not to the country. And that this is DANGEROUS to national security.

 

I cannot use chapter and verse as I am not a lawyer but most Americans know, that if evidence is very strong against you, you can be held until trial. Has absolutely nothing to do with innocence or guilt/ It is for the safety of citizens. If he is found innocent, he will have recourse.

 

Golem= Judge and jury.

 

OH, PLEASE. SAY IT WITH SMOKE SIGNALS: Pocahontas Proclaims Pete Hegseth Unfit!



She's a fraud.

 

The countdown is nearing. How many seals actually march next week? 100? 200? 3 and a dog? Will his mommy join them?

 

Seals know a fighter

 

Warriors for Hegseth

 

Their commendable service to the nation doesn't make their opinion about Hegseth's lack of qualifications any more valid than my 9 year old grandchild's.

 

I've no doubt you actually believe that.

 

Hegseth Shuts Down Fake Indian Liz Warren: ‘I’m Not a General, Senator’

WARREN: You’re quite sure that every general who serves should not go directly into the defense industry for ten years. You’re not willing to make that same pledge?

HEGSETH: I’m not a general, Senator.

*audience laughs at Warren*

'Pocahontas is an excellent example of why we need term limits'

She was really on the warpath.

 

Hegseth does great.

 

The tactic, of course, was to try and crazy at him to get him to crazy back and discredit himself. They can do this because the 'D' next to their name renders them immune from being discredited by their own crazy- enough of their constituents understand exactly the game, or are just as crazy.

He kept his composure well. Now its a question of whether he's kissed and massaged enough RINO asses for the backrooms to let him past.

We'll see.

 

If Hegseth's past behavior has activated your self-righteousness to this degree, this must have you outraged.

 

Hegseth is doing a great job.

There's a AWFL Purge Ongoing in the US Military and That's Alright



'The Pentagon on Tuesday confirmed Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield has been removed from her position as the U.S. military representative to NATO's military committee'

"Secretary [Pete] Hegseth has removed U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield from her position as U.S. representative to NATO's military committee due to a loss of confidence in her ability to lead," "The Defense Department is grateful for her many years of military service."

'a confounding syndrome known as AWFL (Affluent White Female Liberal). This inexplicably transforms what should be a rational, average to highly intelligent, usually over-performing A-type personality female into an anti-social, shrieking, scolding, insensible harridan of the 'Karen' species. AWFLs are always justified in anything they do, and, being the vastly superior creatures they know themselves to be, they are always right.'

'Navy vice admiral fired for insubordination, after refusing to display portrait of president and secretary of defense at NATO headquarters.
Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield, the US military representative to the NATO Military Committee, was relieved of her duties over the weekend following reports that she refused to hang portraits of President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth at NATO headquarters.
She reportedly told military staff that they would wait out the Trump Administration, an indication of passive resistance to the commander in chief.'

Yeah, she's gone.
