The Republican majority is stuck in basically intimidation and inexperience in knowing how to handle racketeering. The USA House is completely out of control when it comes to military spending. They drank the Kool-Aid and Kissed the Ring. Netanyahu and Trump have decided they can do any damn thing they want so long as they appear to be trying to destroy the NATO Alliance while worshipping Putin.
Another $1.4 trillion? The first spending hasn't been accounted for and Trump is running a racketeering game on Congress. Instead of reining in the dilusional Dictator-King they decided anarchy via the White House gaming of the system is the best route to the Midterm elections, including corruption of the voting system. That is how much the US House is playing with fire. They don't care about the Constitution either. They don't know how to handle Trump so they simply don't.

...The final bill includes a variety of conservative provisions (click here) aimed at solidifying GOP support — including renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War, blocking coverage for gender-affirming care and making it easier for troops to carry their personal firearms on military bases.
Republican leaders also attached their election overhaul backed by Trump, known as the SAVE America Act, at the behest of hard-line members who previously blocked the defense bill.
The typically bipartisan support for the legislation — one of the few major bills to become law each year — broke down early on as Democrats declined to endorse Trump’s record-breaking budget without guardrails on the Iran war, strikes against suspected drug smuggling boats in Latin America, the deployment of National Guard troops to U.S. cities and other contentious administration policies.
Compromise defense legislation is unlikely to materialize until after the midterm elections....

I swear Republicans are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
Hegseth is Trump's puppet and he likes that way. He has not a clue what he is doing so long as he is doing what Donald says to do. This is the man who called President Zelensky by the name of the Russian King of the Oligarchs.
So far Hegseth has sent two naval vessels he put aground in the Caribbean for repairs. The Gerald Ford nearly burned to the ground. There are innumberable jets destroyed, not by the enemy, but, by Hegseth. Hegseth openly admitted in testimony he is bankrupting the country and he simply said send more money.
Why send more money? He is destroying the military without the enemy lifting a finger.
HERE IS SOME REALITY.
It is impossible to fight the Iran War.
We are witnessing the arming of the Crescent along with any other Islamic man who wants to fight. Does anyone believe this will ever end? No It will be the end of Israel as Israel is already building walls between the occupied Gaza and the Gaza left to Palestinians. There are also settlers headed for Lebanon. And what does Lebanon say? Lebanon's leadership has stated they cannot fight Israel so they have to accept it's fate at the hand of Israel and do it's bidding in the country of Lebanon. That is not an alliance, that is danger with the mask of surrender. It should not have happened, but, did because Trump threw the weight of the USA behind Israel's occupation of Lebanon.
Don't forget Iraq is religiously aligned with Iran.
There is no way to end this war. There are enormous numbers of Islamic men in sympathy with Iran as it just buried it's leadership. Not only that but they buried and continue to mourn the two military leaders assassinated by Trump in his first term.
Disengage from it now or pay the cost of trillions of dollars flowing through the fingers of Americans EVERY YEAR. Johnson's House has proven there is no will to end the atrocity that is Donald John Trump. This is the new reality of the USA and the Republicans WANT to corrupt elections in order to maintain their hold not just on the power of the USA military to use as it wishes on any given day at any given hour, but, to harness the work force (horses) of the American economy to fund the damn bastards anarchy.
They do not know what they are doing? They are in a failure spiral and they can't see the forest for the trees.
Donald Trump removed any competent member of the USA military leadership and then replaced them with incompetents. So, he not only has no real insight to the best operations of the USA military, he does not have anyone that can formulate answers to the problems they face. Trump has literally destroyed the capabilities of the USA military except to kill at will. That is Trump's answer. Kill everyone, call it demolition, take the land, and build hotels and casinos and prove to the world, the world is wrong and Trump has been the genius his entire time alive while he did nothing but build casinos that failed.
The Trumps are delusional idiots existing to spend money they abscond from every government, business, and organization ever built in the world. The entire world is the empire of the Trumps for the sake of their bank accounts. They have no real answers, they only pretend to. Not that they believe their own delusion. They do. If they didn't it wouldn't work.
Melania is attempting to turn a man into a foreign country. She believes he should not be allowed the freedom of speech of a journalist/author, by sanctioning him. Melania doesn't care about the USA Constitution. She does not recognize the First Amendment. A human being can write or speak anything he or she wants. It is guaranteed by the First Amendment. A person cannot be sanctioned into silence. If Melania is so very aggrieved she has to carry out revenge by what was stated or written then there are the civil courts. There is no sanctioning the First Amendment. The media is in the business of business. That means they are selling whatever the public is interested in reading or hearing. Of all people, the Trumps have to know "infortainment" has treated them well. The Trumps thrive on tabloid journalism. Hello? Just because they don't like the tabloid journalism of the political left, doesn't mean it can be silenced.
Melania and Donald do not want to give up the power and money. It is their survival. Got that? Survival. They have no talent. They have glamour and now they have right wing White Guys trying to turn the country back to the fifties, remove the vote from women and minorities and declare the USA Constitution dead. (If the Civil War was won by the South, the USA Constitution would end.)
That is what they call survival. Melania and Donald are the glamour. The White Supremacists are the footmen. Billionaires like all that chaos just fine.
Americans have to end this thing once and for all. Get rid of the Republicans. It is the only way.
$1.4 trillion dollars? You've got to be joking. Look for the $1.776 billion in a different form, Donald has his eyes on it.
The Trumps are criminals and that is their Achilles Heel.
Not impeachment, imprisonment.
