    Hegseth story is so creepy especially when you learn it wasn't even the victim that reported it. It was a nurse attending to the victim which adds SIGNFICATLY more credibility to the allegation. The cops not pushing a charge could just be a product of white privilege especially privilege of a famous white war veteran media personality. Cops love that type of dude.

    I can't believe a dude like that is going to be in charge of the DOD. The military already has a massive sexual abuse problem.

    The nurse was trying to protect the victim's marriage?

    Slut shaming defense? There's a shocker.

    The report doesn't clear him. One thing is Jane Doe said they had an argument. Witnesses said they had an argument. Hegseth did not recall an argument when asked by police. We know she had negative things to say about how Hegseth was acting around the women there via text messages at the time (and that his behavior was unwanted by at least one woman). She didn't have to explain the cheating, because here husband didn't know until she told him. Her text messages seemingly stopped mid-sentence backing up that Hegseth took her phone.

    None of this is to say what actually happened. There are indications in the report that they were both intoxicated, but also indications that both seemed fine. Could have been an elaborate scheme. Could have been sexual assault. Could have just been 2 drunk people having sex and not knowing what exactly happened. It is fair to say they didn't see enough evidence to charge him, which based on the report seems fair. The videos would be the best evidence available.

    I find it hilarious her bio leaves out she went to some 3rd rate med school in the Caribbean.

    Since when has either party ever appointed qualified people? Lol. Historically, it’s always been people to “manage” without common sense or appropriate qualifications. Typically, it’s to push an agenda and/or people are nominated due to their “loyalty” to the person/party. A law degree doesn’t automatically make anyone qualified to do ****.

    What did Buttigieg know about transportation? Literally nothing. But he was openly gay and that was more important to the Democratic Party.

    Pete was the mayor of a large city. Transportation is one of the key issues that a mayor deals with. He literally received a transportation award as mayor.

    most of the doctors I know, and there are four of them in my immediate family, will tell you it does not matter where you go to med school. everything that comes next, fellowships, residency, training, absolutely matter, but med school, not so much.

    might as well go somewhere warm.

    There aren't enough med schools in this country. Its sort of like insulting somebody for going to Duke because they didn't get into Harvard.

    The issue is she hides it. Go look at her bio anywhere. Go look at her LinkedIn. She claims she went to University of Arkansas, but that is where she did her residency. No where, even on her website did she list it took her 6 years to graduate from some 3rd rate Med school. She might be qualified, but why so ashamed of where she went to school, she won't even list it on any of her social media?

    Paying the victim to drop the charges is "not being completely cleared" lol.

    Also, Clinton was actually cleared - by Republican investigators, but that didn't matter. So was Joe Biden.

    Being cleared didn't matter for the MAGA crowd then, why should it now?

    She's probably the most qualified amongst all his picks. At least she went to medical school unlike RFK

    So curious how much people (MAGA) loves this reality-TV cabinet. You'd think a group that hates the media would be against a media-oriented cabinet where the greatest qualification is being able to defend Trump well on camera. Pathetic.

    What would you call a woman who leaves her husband and kids DOWN THE HALL at a hotel to go have sex with another man? Gotta call a spade a spade here -- or perhaps there's another gardening tool that better describes this woman.
