What were the circumstances of Hegseth's separation from the military? Was he ever fragged by his men? Are there any who served with him who are truly brave enough to come forward, someone who's not intimidated by clowns and freaks? Is he up to date in his child support? Does he have the DTs?

I doubt that his assault victim will come forward. She likely saw what happened during the Kavanaugh confirmation. If he could get her silence with money, why can't someone else induce her to come forward with money? It's the GOP way, right?

I agree that the rightwing bullies are inept and incapable of governing anywhere near the level the country needs, but they will be in positions to do a great deal of damage. Their faces must be pushed into the mud with every stumble they make, and that's done by repetition and amplification. Throw some innuendoes in there for good measure. Most of us can think of a few.

Hegseth resigned from the National Guard after he was flagged by a fellow national guardsman as a potential "enemy within" for all those tattoos when the unit was being assigned to guard duty for Biden's inauguration, and he was removed and sent home.

I knew he had to have some major relationship beef with the military, enough to want to join Trump's Legion of Destruction. That he thinks he packs the gear to be head of the DOD is laughable. Having tough guy opinions is hardly a qualifier. Someone should ask him what the Nuclear Triad is, the question that most exposed his fuhrer as a knownothing nudnik back in 2016.

The assault victim has signed an NDA—I’m sure she forfeits the entire settlement amount if she comes forward.

Courts have become very willing to tear up NDAs where it can be shown their enforcement restricts public policy.

She might not know that, however!

Got that right TC, generally NDA's must meet criteria. First, what's the choice of law? Which state? CA? Note, the restrictive terms in your state & the latest case law construing same.

They will be in positions to do a great deal of damage. That’s the plan, man
