New Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is upset because the IRS found he owed over $34K in taxes. Bless his tiny heart being the victim and all!

lisanv.bsky.social•5 days ago

Lemme guess. He tried to write off his NDA’s as valid expenditures. Or all his booze as business expenses to enhance his performances on Faux News. But, yeah, it’s Biden’s fault when according to these douches Biden couldn’t spell IRS

I would have gotten away with the tax fraud if it weren't for the meddling DOGE kids!

jcbsky25.bsky.social•5 days ago

anyone know what year that audit is for?
Could not see that on the picture

darkbluearticleii.bsky.social•5 days ago

He probably tried writing off $33K worth of Wild Turkey

seismicpigeon.bsky.social•5 days ago

If he needs to be drunk to work,I can see why he considers it a business expense.

solidgoldrobot.bsky.social•4 days ago

I wish I was part of the crowd that apparently just doesn't pay tens of thousands of dollars every year.

And we all realize that's the case here, right?

They audited Hegseth in 2023, and found he owed $33k.

That's the case every year.

He just doesn't always get audited.

How DARE you bring this error for which I am responsible to my attention!!

mango-flava.bsky.social•5 days ago

'Hey, I quit drinking for several days. WTF do you guys want!?'

krazy1.bsky.social•5 days ago

A last minute audit or not, you still owe 33K that’s on him

souptomatosoup.uk•5 days ago

It should be standard to audit ANY incoming political appointment.

zivadoodle.bsky.social•5 days ago

It doesn’t show which year. Cry me a river. He’s just looking for Elon to pay it.

Comey and McCabe feel his pain.

nunyabznss.bsky.social•5 days ago

Wait, isn't financial disclosure part of the process?

annie-bodi.bsky.social•5 days ago

$33,000 is a hefty tax doge.

flossallan.bsky.social•5 days ago

Not for the well off, it’s peanuts. Most businesses here push all kinds of personal exes thru business, because the odds of being audited is almost 0. I have been a bookkeeper for 47 years.

flossallan.bsky.social•5 days ago

Also when in uk I worked in accounting dept. for big women’s clothing chain and one of the execs tried to get a grand piano thru the books. The accountants pushed back on it. Then it was all manual accounting.

notgonnadoit4u.bsky.social•5 days ago

Of course he owes back taxes good grief

dobergeman.bsky.social•5 days ago

Hegseth shouldn’t have filed his return on a cocktail napkin

dearersenilekine.bsky.social•5 days ago

Aw, shucks. That's what he was going to use to pay his child support.

studar.bsky.social•5 days ago

If Biden was senile how did he know a sexual offender with alcoholic tendencies who was fired for financial mismanagement twice and had absolutely no pertinent experience would be the next secretary of defense

philk10.bsky.social•5 days ago

that's why we need to lay off 15K of them

“How come everyone close to Trump is getting audited”. So close to getting it.

boover.bsky.social•5 days ago

Reminds me of the story of Richard Nixon donating several boxes of typing paper to a library (or something like that) and then trying to claim it as a $500,000 donation of presidential papers.

teacherlvscoffee.bsky.social•5 days ago

The coffers must be fed so they can be raided by men wealthier than you, duh Petey. Big dummy.

flossallan.bsky.social•5 days ago

I wonder why trumpers want to cut the budget of IRS? Hmm

abbyinri.bsky.social•5 days ago

Why are they mad that I owe a lot in back taxes he says.

stonemom.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'm guessing that the IRS now will send a letter of apology and tell him not to bother paying. "It was all a big mistake b/c we forgot who you are."

estherbgood.bsky.social•5 days ago

Why is Hegseth only mentioning the Biden administration’s weaponized audit of his taxes? It’s been 28 days since Pres. Biden left office. What is the date on that letter?

gkuehne.bsky.social•5 days ago

That was my thought as well. Why not show the date and hide the rest of the PII or even mention the date of the letter separately?

tjmcm.bsky.social•5 days ago

Another member of Team Trump who doesn't know what an audit is. (In a real audit there's no penalty if you've done nothing wrong.)

cococurie2.bsky.social•5 days ago

He can't handle his own money but he wants $50,000 of taxpayers' money for an emergency paint job at the military house he wants to move into.

gkuehne.bsky.social•5 days ago

The paperwork should also provide instructions on how to appeal it. I also presume that him and his wife earn enough money and have complicated enough taxes to hire an accountant. If the IRS is in error, the appeal would be handled with Trump in office so this makes no sense.

Hahaha. I find this to be hysterical.

farmhousestudio.bsky.social•5 days ago

Clearly I have watched too many cartoons. When I read the start of your sentence (I would have gotten away with it if), my brain completed it with “it weren’t for those meddling/blasted/pesky kids and their dog”.
