Yes, there are lots of negatives around the Pete Hegseth nomination -- the rampant alcoholism, the allegations of sexual assault, the hush money payment to an accuser, the total incompetence leading non-profits, and so on.

But ask yourself:

Does all that outweigh the total lack of positives?

People are not ready for the level of insanity that's coming. A brief list of things that are nearly 100% guaranteed to happen:

* Prosecution of Democrats, journalists, and public figures (Fauci) that angered Trump (or Kash Patel)

* Court martialing or replacing much of military leadership. 1/n

My husband is on a certain medication prescribed 10 mgs twice per day. Just found out that medicare will only pay for 1 dose per day. CVS charges $240 cash per month for the second dose and @costplusdrugs.com charges $6 for a 30 day supply or $8 and change for a 90 day supply. 1/2

Sure, CRISPR-based gene-editing has revolutionized what we do in the lab, but what no-one talks about is how difficult it is to find the tiny scissors when you accidentally drop them in the middle of an experiment.

Jesus Christ!

Vindman is a hero who helped protect America from an attempt by Trump and Kremlin agents in Ukraine to steal the 2020 election. I know because I wrote a national bestseller on this

This is the co-President of the United States threatening to kill him.

Things are going to get so bad!

We are all going to have to look out for ourselves and one another now, especially if H5N1 hits hard in 2025

There is no one in this incoming government with a demonstrated history of caring about human life, and that goes from Gabbard to Trump to Vance to Musk to this new unqualified jerkoff
