They still keep the combs in Vitalis, right?

Asking for our thirsty SecDef.

Where do these self-absorbed clowns come from?

Ah, yes. Fox News.

Trump and this dandy will lose our next war for us.

So, Hellsbreath ain't going anywhere it seems. "Lights! Camera! Action!"

Hi Snoofy: BTW, I think barbers use Barbercide, not Vitalis: directsalonsupplies.co.uk

During Prohibition, certain desperate people would drink the Vitalis. It's a Greatest Generation reference, but Boomers ought to get it too.

Where are the conservatives to complain about a man putting on make up to perform for an audience?

Or is that just when they're reading books to children in a library?

Shouldn't cost too much to put lipstick on a pig.

I am glad we cut out food and medical aid to poor people around the globe to pay for this.

I got no quarrel with a man wanting to look his best. But when you're cutting billions from the VA and firing folks left and right in the name of "efficiency," maybe spending taxpayer dollars on a Pentagon beauty parlor ain't the best look.

How alpha of him.

What is it with these MAGA males and their make up?
Doesn't seem very manly.

WASHINGTON: In the latest embarrassment to rock the Trump administration, Pete Hegseth admitted on Friday that he accidentally texted Houthi rebels a detailed list of the makeup products he uses before appearing on television.

The embattled defense secretary said that he had mistakenly sent the Houthis a cosmetics order intended for Sephora.

A spokesman for the Houthis thanked Hegseth for continuing to share his personal information with them, adding that his NFL draft predictions helped them win thousands of dollars Thursday night on FanDuel.
