OUCH - but I thought you were creating the best economy the world's ever seen @realDonaldTrump ?? What happened, bud? Facts don't lie, as much as you like to ignore that reality. Millions of people looked past all of your baggage, and the fact that you're a giant POS - all because they think you know what you're doing in business. The reality is, though, that you don't. And it's finally starting to show up in places where your MAGA base won't be able to turn a blind eye to it. You've made your money by lying, cheating, and stealing from hard working people- not because you're intelligent, or particularly knowledgeable about business. You're just an over-privileged, mediocre (and, ironically, narcissistic) businessman, who was at the right place at the right time when it counted.

LMAO - I love how he cut off her bullshit assertion 'FALSE- this is the worldwide threats hearing...' We seriously need so much more of this. Keep the clowns on their toes, while they spew their lies and bullshit. Don't give them time to come up with more lies on the fly. If they are actually telling the truth, that'll be evident by their responses. Otherwise, let everyone see them for exactly what they are - shills and propagandists.

@USMCLiberal Such a comically unqualified dipshit. He'll fit right in with the rest of Trump's appointees.

This is what the confirmation hearing of a former MMA fighter, with an educational resume consisting of high school and 2 years at Oklahoma Technical Institute, looks like. If anyone was wondering.

Why would Congress fund an unauthorized war?

I served on active duty for 4 years and 21 years in the reserves. My military ID let me go to sensitive locations, like a military base. Under the SAVE Act’s insane requirements, a military ID does not allow an American to vote.

Is @PamBondi actually going to give answers this time, or just continue to act like a press secretary for the president? Or did you not watch her last public grilling, and her conduct there? I know it's hard for you assholes to comprehend, but it gets insanely frustrating dealing with the disingenous lies, deflection, corruption, etc, of everyone involved with this fucking admin, day in and day out. None of you are capable of a simple yes or no, when asked a yes/no question.

You stormed out of the hearing before asking any questions. Do you actually want answers?

@WhiteHouse How old are you again @realDonaldTrump? Does everyone start acting like a child again at your age, or is that just a 'you' problem? Just curious. Sorry that was rhetorical - obviously it's a you problem, considering you've been a petulant man-child your entire life.

RAPIDLY PUTTING IRAN OUT OF BUSINESS!

@RepBrandonGill You can put as much lipstick on your xenophobia, bigotry, and prejudice as you like - but it's still exactly that, dipshit.

No country is obligated to import its own ruin.

Using a dead soldier as a prop to grift. Truly nothing is too low, too shameless. And EVERYTHING is for sale.

@atrupar I will not, because that'd be pointless. What I will do, is keep pointing out that we shouldn't be in this war, and should stop wasting the lives of our soldiers, and tax money, on it immlediately. @SecWar

Hegseth: "May almighty God continue to bless our troops in this fight. To the American people, please pray for them every day on bended knee with your family, in your schools, in your churches, in the name of Jesus Christ."

He's such a defiant little child up there. Look how angry @SecWar keeps getting, knowing what everyone thinks about him outside of the shitbag MAGAts who would never abandon their cause. And that's not even getting into the irreparable damage this has caused on a global scale for us. It's going to take years for the US to regain the credibility you've lost for us with this absurd war, dipshit. History will not be on your side.

Hegseth: The media wants you to think that we're somehow spinning toward an endless abyss or a forever war or a quagmire. Nothing could be further from the truth. Hear it from me. One of hundreds of thousands who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, who watched previous foolish politicians like Bush, Obama and Biden squander American credibility. This is not those wars. President Trump knows better. Epic fury is different.

I have promises to keep And miles to go before I sleep Baby steps to SAVE America

OK, let's read page 12, line 22 and go through it together, piece by piece: “(A) PROCESS FOR THOSE WITHOUT DOCUMENTARY PROOF. (i) IN GENERAL.—Subject to any relevant guidance adopted by the Election Assistance Commission, each State shall establish a process under which an applicant who cannot provide documentary proof of United States citizenship under paragraph" Each state. First red flag. This is the old Republican "let the states decide" con job. How do you think corrupt MAGA leaders are going to handle requirements for proving citizenship in key states with Democrat counties? There is zero guidance in the bill about what's acceptable if a voter does not have the required documentation. It leaves it to the discretion of corrupt state politicians. "(1) may, if the applicant signs an attestation under penalty of perjury that the applicant is a citizen of the United States and eligible to vote in elections for Federal office, submit such other evidence to the appropriate State or local official demonstrating that the applicant is a citizen of the United States and such official shall make a determination as to whether the applicant has sufficiently established United States citizenship for purposes of registering to vote in elections for Federal office in the State." All this says is "if you don't have the documents we require, just give the teller whatever you got, and they'll make a call." In other words, this bill doesn't protect your right to vote if you don't have the required documentation to prove your citizenship. “(ii) AFFIDAVIT REQUIREMENT.—If a State or local official makes a determination under clause (i) that an applicant has sufficiently established United States citizenship for purposes of registering to vote in elections for Federal office in the State, such determination shall be accompanied by an affidavit developed under clause (iii) signed by the official swearing or affirming the applicant sufficiently established United States citizenship for purposes of registering to vote. This is doublespeak, and It's bullshit. It gives voters hope, then gives state officials the right to deny applicants for whatever reason they choose. This section quite literally gives corrupt state officials LEGAL COVER to CHOOSE which voters they allow to vote! Nice try, Mike.

@timburchett What do you think about the $200 bill @SecWar wants for this unjustified war our shitbag in chief dragged us into?

We hit $39 trillion in debt. Every Democrat except 1 voted against a Balanced Budget Amendment.

The reckless campaign against Iran will weaken America’s president. That will make him angry. Be warned: he makes a very bad loser econ.st/4lA7lEQ

No, we don't want our country to fail, @SecWar you fucking dipshit. We just want the blatant corruption, lies, and complete lack of accountability to end. 'Trump derangement syndrome' as you clowns like to call it, is simply a product of the environment we live in right now. We aren't going to just quietly sit back and watch while that piece of shit quite literally destroys our country. I suppose the germans who tried their best to save people there during WW2, were suffering from hitler derangement syndrome by similarly moronic logic? Just admit that you're in way over your head, and that you were completely and utterly unqualified for your position in the first place.

Hegseth: "A dishonest and anti-Trump press will stop at nothing - we know this at this point - to downplay progress…Sadly, TDS is in their DNA. They want President Trump to fail." The whining just doesn’t stop.

I have one question for the Republican Party today. Where is your backbone? Thune. McConnell. All of them. Where are you? Mitch McConnell is 84 years old. He has nothing left to lose. No more elections to win. No more favors to collect. No more political future to protect. And he can’t stand up and say this is not what the United States of America stands for? George Washington is literally on the wall behind you people. The man who voluntarily gave up power when he could have kept it forever. The man who warned us — in his farewell address — about exactly this kind of person. And you can’t find the words? We have removal procedures in this country for a reason. The founders didn’t put them there for decoration. They put them there because they had read enough history to know that men like this would eventually come. They built the exit door. All you have to do is use it. But instead Thune shuffles his papers. McConnell stares at the floor. And the rest of them calculate their primary margins and call it leadership. This isn’t complicated. This is a spine test. And the Republican Party is failing it in real time.

Cherry picked/edited video clips don't change the reality that your shitty bill is very likely going to disenfranchise millions of voters, all for a fabricated problem that MAGA dreamed up. So, yes, it's not hyperbole to say that it's going to destroy our democracy, you fucking dipshit. What is hyperbole, is when you clowns try to say the opposite. Because as I mentioned before, your fictitious problem doesn't stand up to even the slightest bit of scrutiny. As usual, fuck off.

Can you tell me again how a bill to prevent noncitizen voting would destroy “our democracy”? It’s not making sense—to anyone. Pass the SAVE America Act.

It's like Trump told all of them that they're required to blame Biden anytime someone asks a question that makes them look bad. Every time, lol. But beyond that - so you did 'obliterate' their enrichment .. and we're supposed to believe that they were anywhere near being able to do that again? Ooooooookay. Meanwhile the MFer is asking for $200 bill for the war.

Q: Can you explain why a package this large is necessary? HEGSETH: First of all, none of this would've been possible without Midnight Hammer. Without that audacious mission with very clear goals that did obliterate their ability to enrich. We're still dealing with the environment Joe Biden created.
