Buckle Up, Whiskey Pete. Your Worst Nightmare Is Coming For You.
November's midterm elections are right around the corner, and Republicans are slated to have their asses handed to them in both branches of Congress as the Democratic Party maintains a significant lead over the GOP.
Now, Democrats are making it perfectly clear that Pentagon Pete will be one of the first in their sights if/when they regain power.
New York Democratic Rep. Pat Ryan told POLITICO in no uncertain terms: "Hegseth and crew better buckle up and lawyer up because we are coming at them full on."
Promising "incredibly aggressive oversight," Ryan promised to finally bring the Trump-Era Secretary of Defense to heel "because this is by far the most corrupt and least transparent Pentagon, I think, we’ve ever had.”

I cannot wait to see this little asshole getting grilled.
Dont listen to the noise. Complacency got us here. Go out and vote.
Well, that and a few hundred million in political "donations" from billionaires, along with a concerted support effort by foreign troll farms.
And billionaires buying up all of the media.
This, but also we have something to look forward to if we win. :)
No, don’t get ahead of yourself. Every single person of voting age should be voting, and be prepared to overwhelm any effort they make to cheat the election. Plan to stand up to ICE, the NG, the DOJ and anyone else who tries to obstruct. Then, we can talk about heads rolling.
Maybe win some elections and don't get ICEd before you start threatening people? Just sayin.
They took the "If not now, when?" approach and yoloed authoritariaism.
It's a bold move Cotton. Let's see how it plays out.
I think articles like this that are hopeful about a swing are detrimental because they placate people.
The BETTER get ready for ONLY a TRILLION Dollar Budget INSTEAD of Trillion and a Half!
-Democrats!
Presidential pardon coming in 3... 2...
Why would Trump pardon some loser who can't pay him for the pardon?
Because he sucked Trump's dick.
Hegseth's too drunk to find it.
Bruce Vilanch?
Sigh
When will the media and the Democrats understand?
There will be no midterms.
Either ICE will scare everybody away from the polls, the postal service will burn all the democratic ballots, or Trump will straight up declare the election rigged, null and void and declare martial law or some shit.
How do I know that?
Because Trump behaves EXACTLY as if the midterms didn't matter.
If he expected a fair election - let alone any election at all - he would endeavor to win people over to the Republican side. And every-fucking-thing he does achieves the exact opposite. He has dementia and he's not smart, but he's smart enough to know that. Yet he doesn't care.
Students who plan on cheating on the test don't study. And you wonder why they don't study and look all cool and casual about it, right up until the time they take the test and you see them pull out the cheat sheet under the table.
That's Trump: he doesn't intend to take the midterm test fairly. I guarantee you that. And he has the power of the presidency.
What are you talking about, he openly tried to bribe everyone... He's been acting straight up DESPERATE to win the mid-terms, he isn't acting like they don't matter at all.
Actually it's plan A vs paln B - try carrot first as it will provide better story for legitimacy but if all else fails there will be action. Jan 6 is still fresh in memory. Dude does not like to lose and will use "scorched earth" approach when cornered.
That's the nice proposition. When the bribery doesn't work, the ICE goons will swarm the streets.
Man, my heart is so black and cold, that I disagree with your prediction because Drumpf will do something even crazier and stupider
Maybe he could be Court Marcia?
Marcia Marcia Marcia!
Another bench press?
With his bad form, it'd be amusingly unsurprising to see him get an inguinal hernia while lifting.
They won’t regain power
