Hegseth orders makeup studio installed at Pentagon

We're literally living in clown world.

But god forbid drag queens sing and dance!

Doesn't every war fighter need their concealer and foundation?

Now we have a president, vice president and secretary of Defense that wear make up and they're all dudes. I'm all for people being who they want be, gender norms be damned but the hypocrisy is palpable

Just a little taxpayer-funded gender affirming care!

Changes and upgrades to the Pentagon Briefing Room are nothing new and routinely happen during changes in an administration," a Defense Department spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News.

We regularly waste taxpayer dollars like this.

That was the reassuring argument.

Is this what the "warfighter" needs? 🤣

I thought this was the onion.

First of all, this isn't something I support, I don't trust literally anything this administration does, and it's not really something I want my tax dollars spent on

But taking a step back, when I think about it, I'm a little surprised the pentagon doesn't already have one.

Pretty much anyone who goes on TV is getting a quick once over by the hair/makeup/wardrobe people. And it's not like they don't host press conferences and such at the pentagon with some frequency.

And the military is all about appearances - uniforms, hairstyle regulations, polished boots, etc. If you're putting some military bigwig in front of a camera, that's, in part, a propaganda opportunity, so you want them to look the part

Something something waste fraud and abuse

Edit: Just saw it's already there lol

“Don’t ask, don’t tell.”

Have to get rid of the alcohol blush somehow!

makeup is for dead people and clowns only.

vance needs to do his makeup from time to time.

You can’t fix ugly.

"Lipstick on a pig" seems fitting here.

It'll only stock red white and black face paint though.
