while giving a sermon at the Pentagon

What the fuck? Why is this alcoholic giving sermons at the Pentagon?

It's like every day something about this regime comes out that simply defies believe. The stupidity is just mind blowing.

I convinced him that it was real and he should use it. I got added to the Iran war signal chat by accident earlier this week, don't think he's noticed I'm not supposed to be included. To be fair, he's usually pretty lit.

"The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men," Hegseth prayed.

"Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherd the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.

"And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother. And you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee, and amen."

It's already bad enough that they have sermons in government buildings, but then it's with this kind of content?

He should fucking know what happens to fucking Nazis in Tarantino's universe...

Politicians give sermons, preachers give political speeches, charlatans give medical advice. I am honestly disappointed that the head of NASA is not a flat-earther.

Yup this is the religion that people take so seriously that they get to decide what you get to read.

Enough deference to this phoney ass religion and it's phoney ass followers.

Good lord that is cringe.

"Thou shalt not vote democratic!" "And the Lord sayeth unto the American soldiers, Come Fourth! But they came fifth and lost the race".

I wish Samuel Jackson would appear and recite that quote to him

Chefs kiss.

You cannot make this shit Up..wow

I fucking bet he wrote the speech with a fucking LLM. That’s exactly the kind of mistake they make.

Fake bible verse from a total fake - surprised?

"And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother......"

He really really wants to be the whitest black man in America.

Pentagon.... sermon 🤔

I mean Trump thinks he's ̶C̶h̶r̶i̶s̶t̶ a doctor.

All those crosses on his chest are stick-ons, right? To be a "Christian soldier" and be that ignorant of the Bible is an absolute slap in the face to anyone that takes Christianity seriously.

Confident stupidity feels like Kegsbreath's go-to move, though.

I know he's stupid and a drunk, but I don't believe for a moment he thought there was a biblical verse about aviators. They were obviously repurposing the Pulp Fiction quote for this particular pilot and his unit.

Pete hegseth is the alcoholic defense secretary for anyone who forgot.

Pentagon sermon

If that doesn't scare the shit out of you, it should

Very normal and cool.

Ya know, I never really thought about Pulp Fiction in this light but...

You could read Jackson's character's obsession with that quote as faith sans interaction with the source material. He never read the bible, he just found something cool and started saying that and it turned into something approaching genuine belief over the course of the movie.

When Pete says it it's the exact opposite. It's an appeal to pulp spiritually similarly lacking in engagement with the source materal except here it doesn't result in anything. In pulp fiction Jackson's character starts off with a lie then stumbles into true faith. Pete starts with a lie upon a lie and faith never even enters into the equation. It's just preformative all the way through.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

This comedy show just keeps getting worse and worse...

Probably found it with AI

It’s almost like these guys are….fake

Hegseth dropped his wallet after the sermon..........

There should be no place for religion in politics. Keep that diseased shit to yourself.

Well, things like that happen if you only have second hand knowledge, and have never read the original source.

"Thou shalt drink a bottle of whiskey a day"

Talk about fiction to me!

That's all they are. Fake, fake, Fake, fake, Fake, fake, fake..
