The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane. ~ Marcus Aurelius“It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.”

“The urge to shout filthy words at the top of his voice was as strong as ever.”

It's not 1 billion.
Harris raised 1.4 billion once she was the heir apparent... but she also gained access to 800K in Biden's campaign chest. That's 2.2 billion.
She blew through it all... didn't pay her staff at the end and ended up begging for donors to pony up the 20 million she has in debt.
That's 0.8%. Sounds like pretty good budgeting! And yet Certain People voted against Harris. Surely Certain People would not hold 0.8% against Harris and fail to hold Hegseth responsible for misspending veterans' funds for booze and strippers. That would be truly hypocritical, considering that the Secretary of Defense will be responsible for a $916 billion annual budget.
Looks like I called it exactly right.
Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary, drank in ways that concerned his colleagues at Fox News, according to 10 current and former Fox employees who spoke with NBC News.
Two of those people said that on more than a dozen occasions during Hegseth’s time as a co-host of “Fox & Friends Weekend,” which began in 2017, they smelled alcohol on him before he went on air. Those same two people, plus another, said that during his time there he appeared on television after they’d heard him talk about being hungover as he was getting ready or on set.
One of the sources said they smelled alcohol on him as recently as last month and heard him complain about being hungover this fall.
