The tie helps a little ....

At a rally prior to the election, he said, "vote for me. You know what? Don't for me. It doesn't matter anyway." Keep going back to that now.

This is not a "win" for anyone. It only means one side was right 🙄

Yes, there are lots of negatives around the Pete Hegseth nomination -- the rampant alcoholism, the allegations of sexual assault, the hush money payment to an accuser, the total incompetence leading non-profits, and so on.
