Does she charge by the hour or by the job?

Pretty clear case of non consensual sex. She was sober, he was intoxicated.
LOL.
Yeah...what sober woman takes a drunk guy to his hotel room at 2 AM and is "surprised" at what happens?
But, as I alluded above, thought this incident, by itself, is not disqualifying, the pattern of behavior, including the fact that he admitted to this probably is.
Not legally (I believe he did not rape her), but practically.
He is a liability, and that's the last thing President-Elect Trump needs.

Trump has done enough adultery on his own, he doesn’t need even more help from his nominees.

Or just a reminder why I didn’t vote for him. It’s surprisingly simple. I will not tell my kids I voted for someone so morally bankrupt. Ironic, since he loves bankruptcies.

TDS (noun): (1) Trump Derangement Syndrome. (2) A handy epithet used to dismiss claims that offend one's sensibilities without having to go to the bother of providing any arguments.

You don’t want them deciding not to share a thanksgiving table with you.

Bottom line...Can he do the job?

It’s notable that both he and Trump cheated on W1 with W2, and cheated on W2 with W3.
That seems to be a pretty exclusive club. Seems like to be W3 of such a guy has to come with a little resignation that you’re bound to be cheated on also. Perhaps even with W4 if the guy’s young enough

I think whether it’s Hegseth or not, the result will be the same. A radical reorganization of the command and officer corps in the military. The military will go back from DEI and become more of a merit based organization, and the #1 merit will be making the other team dead, dead, dead.

I don't know about that.
Do we want the Russians or Chinese to have more DEI than us?

So the question is: can we trust him? Obviously, his wives couldn't and they were right.
If he can break one oath, he can break another. That's just the kind of guy he is.

Actually, the question is whether there are people available who can do the job better than him.
If Trump's main prerequisite for picking him is because he thinks he'll be unquestionably loyal, then maybe his inability to remain faithful to his various wives is actually quite a big deal.

I think loyalty is a component. I also think the guy's view of what the military needs to be, plays a huge part. This is a guy with two bronze stars, so he's no perfumed prince. So, in that area, he's a true believer.
The problem is the wimmen.

Seems like that's true of a few of Trump's picks. I'd guess the levels of narcissism are higher than average in that little group.
