With each passing day, more and more Republicans are raising concerns about Hegseth

It really should be a no-brainer, but at least we know they do have a line.

Hegseth should never have been nominated for that position. He's not qualified, and nobody really likes him. He's not popular with the public, the military or his own party. The whole world knows that what he did is a war crime. It's sickening.

there is not a damn thing that anyone will do to stop them - neither Congress or the Justice system. It is pretty obvious that it will be just a matter of time before our Democracy is history.

This was not a surprise. He was totally unqualified like a lot of the cabinet.

but they won't take action.

They want to have the words out there so that when something terrible (more terrible than has happened thus far) happens they can shake their heads and refer to what they said before, but they won't take any action. Ever.

Nothing else really matters now. Until then, nothing is going to happen.
