Honestly? The pair of Maine idiots who sit in the US Senate are a disgrace to Mainiacs who entrusted them with their votes.
To wit: Angus King, an Independent who consistently votes with Democrats, accuses SecDef nominee Pete Hegseth of going along with torture.
If Angus King’s family member was being held by one of those bloodthirsty middle-east demonic monsters, King himself would hold a blowtorch to their man-parts.
On second thought, the arrogant and cowardly sonofabitch would order someone else to do it, and later point a finger to accuse the soldier of violating Geneva Conventions rules.
This frickin’ hypocrite accusing Hegseth of same is an utter disgrace. He makes me sick.
NEW: Pete Hegseth shuts down a senator’s attempt to lecture him on the art of war.
ANGUS KING: “Your position is torture’s okay. Is that correct? Waterboarding? Torture is no longer prohibited given the circumstances of whatever war we’re in. Is that correct?”

Comments I wish I had said:
“Pete Hegseth just gave Angus King the Nathan Jessup treatment. “I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post.” – Wile E. Coyote @Florida_Veteran
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude, than the animating contest of freedom—go from us in peace. Crouch down & lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, & may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” -Samuel Adams
“You know, in the line of protecting us from bumps in the night, the Geneva rules become a suggestion at times. Always has been true, always will be.” – MotherCabriniPreys @MotherCabriniNY
“You can’t handle the truth!” – FredKnox @Kispiox21
That poor senator is a real lightweight! Poor guy. I guess he is saying what was written for him.SAD.
They all have staff that research and write up the questions for them to make themselves look smart. Phonies and belligerents.
