Nice. Love it when all the dems vote against the person and they still win.

On a side note, McConnell, Collins and Murkowski can’t be primaried fast enough

Thankfully, the republicans have a large lead in the Senate.

All Dems get in line again and unite.

Still lose, but the Rs inability to do this could cost them.

The RINO's need to die off as they are relics of the past uniparty.

Part of me respects the ability to be free thinking, even if it differs from my views. That said, the dems are fantastic at falling in line for important things and realizing the stakes of voting in unison which republicans are not. That part sucks.

And yet it only took three Republican votes against Pete Hegseth's confirmation to tie the vote, thus requiring VP Vance to vote to break the tie. This does not seem like a large lead to me.

McConnell, Murkowski and Collins. Just because they have an “R” next to their names doesn’t mean they are.

Enough with these establishment fossils. He has been a Senator for 40 years. He froze twice - on camera, fell multiple times. He still has 2 years on his term. Will he end up like Feinstein, latching on to power until his last moment?

That was a year and half ago:

In the week before that he fell multiple times in one week.


A month later he froze again:



Just last month he fell in the Senate:

Did Hegseth get confirmed even with 3 defections?

Yep.  Resulted in a 50-50 tie, broken by the VP.
