@pbsnews: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth slammed efforts by outgoing Republican Rep. Thomas Massie and congressional Democrats to impeach him as “policy disagreements.” Hegseth, speaking Tuesday during his first Pentagon news briefing in six months, also criticized Massie’s impeachment resolution, filed a day earlier in the U.S. House, as personal. “What one disgruntled and defeated congressman is attempting is not oversight, and it’s not accountability,” Hegseth said. “It’s a political spectacle, a personal manifesto driven by ego and resentment – time for one man’s final days in Congress to try to do damage to this president, this country and, most irresponsibly, the warriors who defend it. It’s a farce and it’s a stunt, and everybody knows it.” Massie’s resolution mostly focuses on the war in Iran and accuses Hegseth of abusing “the powers of his high office” by, in part, unilaterally continuing U.S. military options against Iran “despite Congress’ exclusive constitutional authority to declare war and despite Congress’ formal action directing the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities.” The resolution also discusses Hegseth’s role in the strikes on alleged drug trafficking boats, the U.S. capture of former Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and the conflict in Yemen. Hegseth said no Pentagon chief has ever been impeached “for carrying out lawful military operations, and in our case, successful ones at that.” The House is expected to vote on the impeachment resolution later this week. #Hegseth #Impeachment #Iran #Trump #News

characteristics of Habitual Liar • Frequency: They lie consistently and excessively.  • Elaboration: Their lies are often detailed and dramatic stories.  • No clear benefit: They lie without any obvious gain, or even when the truth would be more beneficial.  • Unconscious belief: Some may be unaware of their lying or even believe their own lies.  • Manipulation: While some lie compulsively without a clear motive, others use deception for manipulation and personal gain.
