BREAKING: Pete Hegseth just asked Congress for $1.5 TRILLION for the Department of War (a 50% increase in our military budget.)
He then blames Joe Biden for the Department needing the extra $500 BILLION.
Note that we are almost $40 TRILLION in debt.
SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW PETE HEGSETH IS ASKING FOR $87 BILLION DOLLARS FOR "WAR STUFF" BUT WE CAN'T GET A DIME FOR HEALTHCARE???
NOT ANOTHER PENNY TO BOMB GIRLS' SCHOOLS.
Ossoff demolishes Hegseth -- then Hegseth has an epic crashout
Sen. Jon Ossoff used Hegseth's premature declarations of victory against him during his Senate testimony, repeatedly reading back statements Hegseth made in March and April about Iran's military being "destroyed" and "obliterated" and asking him if he stands by them.
After Hegseth spent five minutes dodging, Ossoff concluded by noting that "you will not answer whether your statement made on the 14th day of the war that Iran's military was 'destroyed and made combat ineffective' was a truthful statement to the American people as you sit here and ask for tens of billions more."
A reeling Hegseth then crashed out in response to a similar line of questioning from Sen. Gary Peters, snapping at him that "you have Trump derangement syndrome!"
Peters replied to Hegseth that "you, sir, are the failure," as Susan Collins brought the hearing to an abrupt close.
Here's all of Ossoff's questioning followed by Hegseth's tantrum:
In the end, Joseph Goebbels - Hitler’s propaganda monster - died cowering in a bunker. He murdered his own children, then swallowed a cyanide capsule rather than face the consequences. History remembers this vermin exactly as he deserved.
BREAKING: Trump blew $3.4 MILLION of tax payer dollars on his trip to Mar-a-Lago for his tacky Great Gatsby Halloween party - while 700,000 Americans miss paychecks in his shutdown.
Trump parties while families are suffering.
Disgraceful.
