Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared before the Senate today to discuss the Treasury budget appropriation and respond to questions.
Senate Intelligence Committee Vice-Chairman Mark Warner could not contain himself and used his time on camera to question Secretary Bessent about something far away from Bessent’s sphere of influence. Warner began physically shaking and grasping for words to describe his outrage, his apoplexy and fury at the audacity of President Trump to appoint Bill Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence.
The first half of this segment is glorious.
.
Not since Matt Gaetz nomination to AG have we seen such fits of apoplexy coming from within congress to the interim appointment of a cabinet member in an ‘acting’ capacity. Forget the sand, the gears of government are reacting to an iron wrench in their machinery. It’s awesome.
They’ve already threatened to withhold FISA-702 reauthorization, and if we get lucky, they’ll threaten to eliminate the income tax.

He needs to be careful, as this could lead to an aneurysm.
Wouldn’t be so lucky.
I would advise the D’s to threaten national concealed carry with an emphasis on the tree of liberty needing to be watered.
I believe that would be a highly effective tactic.
Warner sounds like he is in the late stages of emphysema. What a reptilian demonic POS
Serpent-like lip licker.
If it bothers them that much, THATS OUR GUY. Keep him there and twist the knife President Trump!
Quivering Rage
lmao………………………love it….
Warner said of Pulte’s appointment “it’s an embarrassment.”
No Senator, what is an “embarrassment” is the fact you are even in government at all much less on the Intel Committee. You embarrass me every time you speak. You are an embarrassment to everyday Americans who voted for you and you need to be replaced A.S.A.P.
About Mr. Wolfe’s conviction…..Care to explain your texts Mr. Warner?
Shaky mark has been shaking for some years now.
Income Tax you say!
The sound of it is AWESOME!
More BLESSINGS!
I have absolutely NO qualms that Trump has picked the right man for the right job after watching this bizarre and wholly entertaining melt down. It appears that the illustrious Senator Warner might have actually soiled himself upon hearing the news of Pulte’s appointment. Me thinks this is gonna be glorious…
If they’re not reading from their staffer created script, they’re only marginally articulate. These hearings are fabulous opportunities to expose them for the charlatans they are.

🚨 LMFAO!! Sec. Scott Bessent’s response here is PURE GOLD
TILLIS: “Did you actually tell Director Bill Pulte you’d punch him in the face?”
BESSENT: “No, sir…I actually said I was going to kick his ass.”
😭😭
“That was Summer 2025. Many teams have fights in the locker room, then go out and win for the team.”
Video linked…
Warner probably texted Christopher Steele immediately afterwards.
Proves that Pulte was a good pick and the left is fearful…
This is how we KNOW Pulte is the right man for the job.
You are soon going to find just how heinous the old guard Democrat Party members are and always have been. When power is taken away or the threat of it (power=$$$) they’ll join forces without hesitation with Democrat Socialist (Marxist) wing. They won’t accept the loss/exposure, nope, they’ll double down and turn left to towards the new revolutionaries to get their way. It’s not what the old guard is willing to do, rather it’s how long, how far and how many Democrat voters will follow them towards what inevitably happens.
China Mitch says he won’t confirm anyone who has no back ground .
“Warner began physically shaking and grasping for words to describe his outrage, his apoplexy and fury at the audacity of President Trump to appoint Bill Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence.”
Flak is heaviest when you’re directly over the target. Bombs away, Mr. Pulte, bombs away.
All I saw on Warner’s face was fear.
Do you think the globalists that own these Senate scumbags have shock collars on them? They are irrational and panic stricken- love it! President Trump just wrapped up an Oval with the deadstream clowns and spanked them hard. I hope Karoline is enjoying her new baby knowing her boss has the job well covered.
I smell a rat. An IC rat. ‘Oh the outrage’…makes everyone think that Trump is really going against the IC when in fact…they have their man in place?
I’m sorry, I’ve come so far I don’t trust a single thing out of these people’s mouth’s and the more theatrical it is I’ve found, the more DISENGENUOUS it is in my experience.
I laughed out loud.
Morons on full display.
