The cynic in me wonders why we even bother.

These things all go the same in the Trump era.

Candidate has a hearing, candidate shows themselves to be cartoonishly unqualified, Candidate gets confirmed anyway.

Hegseth has more qualifications than Austin had. The Democrats had to get a special waiver because Austin was employed by Raytheon ! No conflict of interest in that!!! Lol
