After many weeks of hearing the Democrats promise to "lower costs" and address general "affordability," it's now become clear that they intend to do that via sham hearings and investigations. The lawfare will likely even include business executives who weren't sufficiently unfriendly to the Trump administration. In other words, we're about to spend two years being reminded that Democrats' accusations of Trump being a "wannabe dictator" were nothing but projection as the Left works to get its Stalin on.
On the list of Democrat targets, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has a spot near the top. Why? Because he's returned the warrior ethos to the Pentagon and swept away all the "woke" left behind by the previous administration.

Ever since the election, we've seen the Democrats say their focus on "lowering costs" will include sham hearings that will look like their January 6 show trials.
I noticed that a two-word memo went out from the DNC. The two words are "tick tock."
After failing our servicemembers and starting new forever wars, Pete's desperate to keep his job. Tick tock, Mr. Secretary. Better start packing up your make-up room at the Pentagon. Time's up.

They should really try not to make it so obvious but at this point the Democrats just don't care:
Tick tock, Secretary Hegseth. And don’t think that resigning before you get fired will stop us from holding you accountable for your disgraceful conduct in office.

Trump took 5 deferments to keep from serving in Vietnam so you can shove that tough guy talk up your ass. You are a war criminal. Tick tock, No Tab Pete ⏰⏰⏰

There are a lot more but you get the point. "Tick tock" is all over the place.
Originality is not a strong suit for Democrats because it has nothing to do with making things more expensive and protecting criminal illegal aliens.
