By “blew threw the money” you really mean “they stole the money”

The old expression "lions led by asses" is now relevant again.

check trump's bank account! that's probably where it ended up!

And they are working hard to embezzle more money from the residents of the united states.

So the guy who financially mismanaged 2 charities was tapped as head of DOD by a guy who bankrupted multiple businesses, including 3 casinos. Who could have seen this coming?

You said it!

Yes, and he’s been doing it systematically, for Putin I think. I have always thought that Putin has very incriminating videos of Trump. The blackmail never ends. Trump is destroying all of our institutions, as legislators run around saying that it is “unusual” and “perplexing” and “astonishing.”

Absolutely.

Sounds like what he does in business. Uses up all of the equity, trashes the physical plant, refuses to pay workers & contractors.

Christopher that sounds soooo trumpian.

It sounds like the homeless meth head someone could see on a street corner but on a much, much larger scale.

or you could go for a full measure and abolish DHS and ICE wholesale and return the actually necissary departments to the FBI where they fucking belong. While we are at it send the counterfit money detecting across from the secret service, maybe then they could train agents in a reasonable timeframe

But all those vanity projects 🤔

I have always found “thank you for your service” disingenuous.

Has any previous populist autocrat ever, through their own incompetence, run out of resources to equip, feed, and pay their own military? Oh, interesting. And what happened then?

And the world is worse off than before they started the war. Oil was cheaper, the gulf traffic was moving freely and thousands of people in Iran were still alive

Things are about to get ugly.

Of course they did. Its not like the senate had any notion that hogsbreath was not only unfit but had PRIOR experience mismanaging budgets MUCH smaller than this! 🤷‍♀️😡🇺🇸

Iran War Causing 'Shortfalls' in Navy Payroll Six Months Into Conflict: Report

Trump decided to make the guy, who was fired from a nonprofit for financial mismanagement, Secretary of Defence. Stable genius! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Sounds like my college days. I did not graduate sadly.

It's easy to bankrupt a casino when you're not only corrupt, but competing against yourself. Didn't he have 3 opened at the same time?

Lost bases

Pete Hegseth Spent Millions on Steak, Crab Legs and Lobster $93.4 billion on grants and contracts www.newsweek.com/pete-hegseth...

So this is how trump and Hesgeth plan to extort congress into giving more tax dollars to the military.....they raided the payroll and now Congress has to give them more money because you have to pay the troops or you'll be demonized by the GOP as the bad guys...I can hear that pitch already.

Or anything else

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You have six fingers. Prepare to be fact-checked.

MAGA is the greatest threat to America right now bar none. Nothing has crippled US readiness like the MAGA GOP. They have never cared. They hate the USA more than our adversaries.

Ever EVER EVER EVER. #HawkTuah #ExtraLoogie

But they still will, because they didn't see any of this on Fox News😣🤬

The party of “fiscal responsibility”.

Republicains. Not even maga. Bot are the same

Attaboy Pedonnie... Piss off the people you thought would support your upcoming CoupX2

Just like Russia I bet a lot of the money went to trumps pocket. Probably why Hegseth is still there, he knows.

Erm....

“No one cares more about the troops”

Military families often face food insecurity and need programs like SNAP and WIC which have been deeply cut. Now this.

“Richest country in the world” Yeah, until you fire the experts and put people in charge who don’t know how anything works.

Trump is moving from stolen valor to stolen pay checks. Makes sense given his background.

Air National Guard units are being activated to go to the Middle East. Some were told not to expect pay until October.

When will the military rise up and resist. ENOUGH ALREADY. plus I’m sure this shortfall is caused by corruption someone follow the money….

It’s called creative accounting.

This is why they renamed Lake Ontario, keep us distracted from the bigger story

I know that the normal main drag near the military base in town/ the drive thrus were empty at lunch time and later at night. And it was payday yesterday for military. it’s unusual to see empty drive thrus across from the base at lunch time. Several Navy commands on post 🤔

Wage theft. Very on brand by Trump and Hegseth.

Its called misappropriation of funds. If we had a real congress. This crap wouldn't happen. Also is we didn't have Schumer & Jeffries the traitor brigade making backdoor deals for AIPAC then maybe we'd be fighting back. Unfortunately both are bought by Oligarchs & AIPAC. They need to go down ASAP.

😲😡

We are being run by Russia, our soldiers being exploited like Russia exploits soldiers.

There are no financial controls in this administration. The damage will be revealed when they are gone.

Can you spell grifter

If you were sent by Russia to destroy America, would you act any differently than Trump and these war criminals?

A whole passel of rich military industrial complex investors.... and a large number of people that are broken or killed by service.

I’m wondering if maybe THIS is why Congress is SUPPOSED to approve of us going to war? Congress controls the budget AND war powers. Who would have thought that they might go together? This also PROVES that Trump gives zero shits about what his BUDGET is for ANYTHING. He wants it, he BUYS it.

The only people left to raise taxes on is the wealthy and to be honest, fuck them. Tax them straight into fucking poverty at this point for all I care.

I'm not sure what people expected when the guy who bankrupted a casino starts a war? But, this is exactly what anyone could have predicted.

Mission accomplished??

Great job, Pete. Bankrupting the military. We have nothing good to show for it.

Should come from Hegseth's pay first, and then the budget for his personal use.

FELON PEDO TRUMP IS ROBBING US BLIND. CONGRESS SHOULD HAVE ALREADY DONE A DETAILED AUDIT OF THE MONEY TRUMP IS STEALING FROM OUR TREASURY AND WHERE HES FUNNELING IT TO. TRUMP IS A LIFELONG SERIAL CROOK - HE WANTS OUR COUNTRY AND OUR PEOPLE DESTROYED BEFORE HE DROPS DEAD!!!

TRUMPS DRAINED OUR TREASURY INTO HIS OWN POCKETS - SIEZE THEIR ASSETS AND BANK ACCOUNTS IMMEDIATELY TO PAY OUR TREASURY BACK!!! LOCK ALL OF THEM UP!!!!

"Theft". The word that official is looking for is "theft".

Maybe now the armed forces will uphold their constitutional duty. Get tRump and his whole unconstitutional regime out of We The People's government.

Your regime isn’t too smart is it? You want to piss off the people who are trained to kill & that have all of the weapons to do so? ♾️LOL♾️LOL♾️LOL♾️LOL♾️

well if you mericans voted TWICE for the pedo, you can see why dumbdumb dogsbreath might think could also win.

I wonder if his wife sits in on meetings where she doesn’t belong because she needs to supervise at all times to keep him from drinking.

Amen

Incompetence wrapped in malfeasance - with a side of crimes against humanity.

I’ll *bet* they have some….

What about all the money for steaks and lobsters? And a new makeup studio? And all of the money is the president is wasting on vanity projects but nobody asked for?

Where’s all the goddamn money we give them?

“Imaginative” = Illegal

GOP: "We stand by our troops. It's easier to pick their pockets that way."

"Redirect" your ballroom money. Shortfalls my ass.

This bunch would steal from their own Mothers

Their patriotism was always paper thin. This is just them running out of excuses. Took a while.

Take the money he and his family stole and continue to steal from the taxpayers. That should cover it,

Wow that’s bullshit and mismanagement from the Top

The Trump regime and their Project 2025 puppeteers are dismantling OUR American constitutional democratic-republic internationally. So… when’s enough enough, WE THE motherfucking PEOPLE?

This is how mutinies happen

Excuse me, but didn't hegseths department spend billions on champagne and lobsters? Also, can't believe people eat those things...🙄🦞ewww.

felon47's hands are always in the cookie jar. He views all federal land, the WH, and all taxpayer money as his.

OMG!!!! How can anyone this this administration is good for anyone? Can you imagine if a woman went on a spending spree like this? We would never hear the end of it.

WHAT!!!

Its called relocating and has been going on 4 forever in many different ways

Trumps roll of not paying contractors keeps on going…

Trump is planning that a bankruptcy filing for the Pentagon budget will take care of all that. Remember -- he never paid workers on construction projects, just the staff running up costs.

Is this why they pounded into the servicemens heads to always have a 3 month contingency fund if pay is ever interrupted. I always figured it would be due to a budget battle or shutdown. But here we are...

Your choice, America. Good luck!!!

Sounds like they didn't avoid the shortfall. 🙄

He needs to be walked out of the pentagon immediately

See: "Battleship Potemkin". Y'all need to make payroll.

2023 ICE had a base annual budget of apprx $10B By 2026 ICE's funding has surged dramatically through budget reconcl pkgs like 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill & 2026 Secure America giving ICE access to tens of billions in supplementary funds, nearly tripling its annual spending capacity to $29B

White South Africans Invited to US as "REFUGEES" Will get $4,500 *PER PERSON* in initial free federal support starting October 1 double the current amount TAX DOLLARS FREE TO WHITE SOUTH AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS So ONLY WHITE immigrants getting tax payer money They're importing racists for Elon Musk

Well, navy whst are you going to do besides still support Donnie?

Disgusting. Absolute travesty what is happening. Hegsbreath needs to be impeached. I am so DONE with Trump and his imbecilic morons pretending to run the govt.

Going around congress to fund a war with Iran. Iran is probably still using weapons sold by Reagan to go around congress to fund a Central American war.

I smell a coup...even Pete's High-T white boys won't work for free.

Of course they did, Everyone knows Republicans are crooks that like abusing Children.

Say fuckin' WHAT ???? No. This will NOT work on any level with any damn excuse. Next it will be the Army & Air Force. The clear result of SKIMMING.

He managed a small non-profit and got them into $75K debt. He has been spending like the drunken soldier he is.

Money for our troops? Republicans always the loudest voices promoting money for our troops are mis-appropriating those funds to line the pockets of defense industry CEOs and executive luxury.

I can't take this as a Veteran and a grandmother with a grandson in Army Basic Training! Our Honorable Military and Nation destroyed! WTF 🥵🤬

Spending like drunk sailors was a common slur in my family when I was growing up. IDK if this was a dig at my uncle that joined the navy instead of being drafted into army like the rest of my uncles. Hegseth seems to fit the saying to a t.

😡😡😡

Well, that way, when they come begging for more money for their illegal war, they can say it's for the troops pay and anyone that dares vote NO are against the troops.

You are fucking kidding me!!!!🤬

Trump loves stealing.
