He's an angry drunk and a christian nationalist.
of course he's into the violence.

You mean to tell me the guy whose spiritual leader, Douglas Wilson, who delivered sermons sprinkled with military-themed jokes about putting Jesus Christ first, what Jesus can accomplish through believers, repealing women's rights, homosexuality should be a crime and that it's the job of Christians to exercise dominion over the whole world.... That guy is raising red flags now? Crusades in the middle east will continue until morale improves I guess.
Well he tried to be a soldier, maybe now is the time to help that dream come true.
3 countries driven by religious extremism. What could get wrong? I had thought that this type of thing was well behind us. Seems history has to repeat.
How are you surprised? No country has even banned child mutilation on religious grounds.
Religion also gives one near total immunity from laws preventing other people being hateful regressive bigot agitators.
In the eyes of the law the religious are the UBERMENCH above society, of course they maintain power, they're degreed our infallible GODS beyond earthly morality or secular judgement.
Pete is actually the only man on Earth whose BAC and IQ are basically the same number.

I hate this sentence so godamn much.
Well, reading about Sean Duffy's resume as Real World personality is nearly as bad, given he's Secretary of Transportation and spent my fucking money on.... lecturing Americans about how they dress when they travel.
I hate this administration so very much. At least Duffy isn't starting wars of choice and hasn't invaded America states and cities like Noem has.
But it's almost like they are designed to infuriate normal people.
It's like if all the school bullies and hanger-ons suddenly got power.
Yeah, I remember some knob during college - the typical douchebro that so obviously peaked in high school; I'm not sure if he actually finished his degree (I think it was in criminal justice?). Anyway, he was no longer in school, but still attending some parties because he was friend of a friend of a friend. I think he might have been in some kind of training to be a cop. My friends were throwing a party, and many people had hooked up/wandered off with their SO, etc...
I was not there but everyone that was relayed how this guy at about 1am or so was saying how he'd go out to his car and get his handcuffs and arrest some people that he took issue with. He was threatening people with arrest over some drunken disagreement at a party. Needless to say, this dude and the people still affiliating with him were cut out of future party invites.
Pete Hegseth very much has that guy's energy, only way more power given to him. I'm also reminded a bit of Alex's droogs that go into the police force in A Clockwork Orange.
I knew he was incompetent and bad. But god damn, the more you read the worse it gets, you think: how much worse could it get? And then the article gently tells you: oh we're not done...
But it also highlights the problem is far bigger than just Trump. As their Congress swore him in, after a 50-50 vote that was resolved by the VP.
I have said this again and again. its not just trump its the whole republican party at this point. we see it with congress and their court appointments backing up the bulltrump. anyone with actual conservative convictions has to get with others of their ilk and go form a new party as this one is cooked. its lost any legitamcy its every had and needs to go the way of the wigs. they have taken down the libertarians with them to. They could try to go there but it will not be able to last very long if at all.
Are you saying it was a bad idea to give this much power and responsibility to a drunk weekend host from Faux "News"?

It was just about time for Fox News to send the military a zionist patsy in exchange.
He's like a teenager talking smack on call of duty.
The US's very own Wilhelm Keitel war criminal, but Keitel was at least a general.
Peter knows he's a fall guy for his lord and master when the war crimes court starts up, right?
"I didn't know what all Pete was doing- I never told him to do that."
"Nah, nothing is going to happen to ME" or something
"My shield of strong liquor and white supremacist tattoos will protect me."
I dearly hope he'll be tried as the war criminal he is. Like Goebbels and shit
No shit, the guy with literal white power prison gang tattoos over his body is a dangerous psychopath?? Holy shit, who could have seen it coming?!
This is a dumb dude who is drunk on the greatest power ever granted an individual in the history of this species. He kills every day. Hundreds, if not thousands of people. He has to be neutralized. How long is this going to keep going ?
These scum are caricature movie villains. Perfectly happy to sit in safety acting like badasses while dealing out suffering and death for others.
This headline formula "[emotional state] as [thing happening]" strikes me as stupider every time I see it. Use a fucking verb.
Renaming the DoD to the DoW should have been the first of many clues. The tattoos as well. Him and Trump are getting a hard on from the possibility of dropping a nuke in the middle east.

What a sentence .. "the best people"
People seem to forget that he was also a mediocre soldier and a conman who ran a charity for veterans that just outright stole the money it raised.
Gee - who would've thought that putting a drunk, ignorant, racist asshole with the emotional maturity of a 12-year-old in charge of the military was a bad idea?
On a related note, hardly a day goes by without me being pleased and relieved that I decided long ago that I didn't want children. I can't imagine being responsible for bringing a child into this shithole country.

Same, also, parenting is now cost-prohibitive.

On one hand, I agree. On the other, younger generations are only going to get dumber and dumber.
dumber and dumber
I don't think that even matters - the way things are going, the psychopaths are going to destroy human civilization before the idiots even get a chance.
Kinda just nice to look at international publications and see that, yes, you're not crazy despite the gaslighting and we really did put an inept, stupid, and drunken TV show host in charge of actual wars.
You are an abuser of women – that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.
Well, he's definitely not a mama's boy.
