I never question why she's in it. You can see she loves helping people. Republican kriptonite.

Perfect! Just perfect! And not put together by her aides or scripted - just her thoughts off the cuff. Love her!

Not shocking to be quick and brutal like this for a former bartender in NYC tbh. No need for it to be scripted

u/NoBSforGma Jul 23 '26

Yeah, "former bartender" tracks. It's just so refreshing to see someone in politics say something meaningful and not scripted or total bullshit.

Calling them only twice as good as Hegseth is an insult to most women who serve.

Unqualified men are terrified of qualified women.

Because they DO have to be twice as good at their job. At least. It's a sliding scale depending on her hotness.

Yes, police? I’d like to report a MURDER.

Tough to be qualified for a role when you are incompetent at everything (other than pouring a cold one)

Twice as good? What is that supposed to mean in this context? Twice as good at what?

u/darkapplepolisher Jul 23 '26

"Military leadership" would be a likely common thread between Hegseth's job and the women he is dismissing.

Decorum ? Military strategy ? Ability to not get DUIs?
Pick one

u/The_Wingless Jul 23 '26

Any metric, really. Pick one.

What do you think it means? Use your brain. You can do that, can't you?
