Senate Democrats decided to launch their most abrasive, toxic and stupid members at President-Elect Donald Trump’s Secretary of Defense nominee, Pete Hegseth, today at his confirmation hearing. Yes, the Dems have become the Dodgeball movie meme: ‘It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for ‘em.’
Republican commentator, Scott Jennings, stated the obvious after the Democrats’ ridiculous display. (WATCH)

Some posters’ comments were dripping with sarcasm about the ‘immense intelligence’ of the Democrat cadre.
these are the best they have, especially Mensa members like @maziehirono and @SenWarren

Did you mean MENTAL instead of MENSA? 🤷♀️

Yes, that’s more like it!
These Senate members were the dumbest of the dumb.
Scott…I dare you to name me 8 Democrat members that aren’t dumber than the ones on display today.

Gotta send people with no shame to do the embarrassing dirty work.

When you want a dirty job done you send the people whose reputations are already cemented as demented and dumb.
Drinking on the job was a topic at the confirmation hearing. Despite being directed at Hegseth, many were asking if Senator Mazie Hirono of Hawaii was drunk since she kept slurring her words. It was so bad memers made parody videos of her. (WATCH)

Was Hirono sober when she was questioning Hegseth?

How many members of Congress have been drinking on the job?
I guess they just set up a bar at the capitol so they can be delivered beer, wine, etc. to their offices.

If you have any questions about alcohol at the Capitol direct them to Nancy Pelosi.
Some commenters are wondering why these confirmation hearings are televised to the public. Posters weigh-in.
These hearings should be closed to the public and camera free. Every Senator, on both sides, uses their time for political nonsense instead of actually vetting nominees.

Sorry but they work for US. We have a right to see them and all their insanity.
— watchingdaisies (@watchingdaisies) January 14, 2025
That is the exact reason why they should be televised. Let the clowns expose themselves.
— 🌼PS (@paige_sellick) January 14, 2025
I disagree. I’d rather everyone see these clowns be exposed.
— Dan Stuart (@ExposeHateNow) January 14, 2025
Yes, these hearings are usually disgusting, but they do allow the public to witness the depths elected officials (usually Democrats) will go to destroy nominees they don’t like. It’s horrible to watch, but we need to know who our elected officials really are.
