God I hate these people

I welcome him to lick a hospital floor

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hey, btw this guys pastor doesn’t think women should have the right to vote. The military has been actively purging women.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

They’re told it’s a bad idea because ‘the men would be distracted with their natural instinct to protect women’

[–] bramkaandorp@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

"protect".

We know how these people think.

[–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

His attitude towards women really makes me wonder why he now has to have his mommy-wife accompany him to Pentagon meetings?

Is it that he needs her to do his job for him and/or keep him from accidentally drunk texting classified military plans to the wrong journalists again?

Or is it like a control thing? Like a paranoia the hostage might try to escape or signal they're in danger if he doesn't keep an eye on her? Not to try and make any excuse for her for deciding to marry this guy, but he does have a history of domestic abuse and I really cannot comprehend wtf the logic is?

"Women are too emotional and incompetent to serve in the military," but also, "I need to bring my wife to classified work meetings so that I can (supposedly) do my job leading the military"...?

Maybe I'm just too emotional to see the flawless logic? Or for expecting there to be logic in anything he does.

He spills enough alcohol on his hands that it kills the germs.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 9 points 1 day ago

But he can see Jesus?

"I can't see germs so they aren't real" sounds like the kind of meaningless strawman "got 'em!" argument he might make against atheism or whatever. It would be stupid then, too.

But no, he of course did the more sincere, more stupider straightforward version of that statement.

[–] _lilith@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You can see certain bacteria with the naked eye though. Don't even need the witch glass in a microscope

[–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Okay, that was a pretty cool read! I had no idea these things existed. Thanks, I didn't expect to learn anything cool in a thread on Pete Hegzeth's poor hygiene.

[–] DrunkAnRoot@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

sad that i cant tell of this is true

[–] KittyCat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I can't see his brain, must not be real either.

[–] kablez@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Cult of stupidity.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Mark my words. If you're in the United States, modern medicine will become increasingly difficult to obtain, and that which is available will be out of date.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

That’s been the trend, yeah. We’re at the stage where they start to purge the masses, or have we not noticed?

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 52 points 2 days ago

Drink up, Pete! You can't see cirrhosis either!

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 68 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Is this the Onion?

I mean, I wouldn't doubt it's real, but it surely sounds like a joke.

[–] fahfahfahfah@lemmy.billiam.net 49 points 2 days ago (2 children)
[–] khannie@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Cheers.

The context of Hegseth's remark and the reactions of his co-hosts indicate he was joking.

Important context in there.

Lol! The US government is a bad joke...

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The bad joke is that we let them dumb down the people here for so long that they elected a pedophile for a second term after he set out to revenge his fallen partner he had killed to prevent him squealing

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

If you made a movie with this exact plot 20 years ago it would get slaughtered for being unbelievable

[–] bufalo1973@piefed.social 1 points 21 hours ago

Idiocracy was a satire. Now it's closer to a documentary. Let's hope it doesn't end up being "a better timeline".

No, but it's just news-cycle stirrup by the trump administration (IMO).

What about talking about what they are doing not what they are saying (that they ate doing)?

Good old Pete goes around with penis fingers, just like a real man.

[–] DaMonsterKnees@lemmy.world 44 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wait, I remember this headline, but is this from the same clown or is this just funny?

[–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 70 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I wondered too. Holy sweet illiterate baby Jesus... it's real

Fox News host Pete Hegseth has said on air that he has not washed his hands for 10 years because "germs are not a real thing".

Speaking on Fox and Friends, Hegseth said the infectious micro-organisms did not exist because they could not be seen with the naked eye.

"I inoculate myself," added the Harvard and Princeton graduate.

His remarks came after co-hosts Ed Henry and Jedediah Bila made fun of him for eating left-over pizza.

"My 2019 resolution is to say things on air that I say off air," Hegseth added.

[–] fta@lemmy.zip 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Jfc.

Fuck that guy. Seriously.

But we should read the fucking article if we’re going to quote it.

Next sent sentence:

Mr Hegseth later told USA Today that his remarks were intended to be a joke.

Maybe he was covering his ass, maybe it was a joke. But this is like the last thing on an incredibly long list of things to try and go after for.

Every time that shitshow gets dumber I am less surprised.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

So, did kegsbreath actually say that?

Edit: just read through the comments on here and, yes, he did say it. Fucks sake.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

We all know his history and how ridiculous it is that he has the job he has, etc.

But to read an article from a handful of years ago talking about him as the random worthless propaganda TV host he was at the time.. it somehow still stings.

dammit i didn't want to start day drinking at 9 am on a monday but here we are

[–] karokugel@feddit.org 5 points 2 days ago

Satire is dead, isn't it?

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Give that man a demon core. It can't hurt him.

[–] jupyter_rain@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Read this in a tired state of mind and wondered why Hegseth would deny the existence of germans. But I guess there are less germans than germs, so it would be more plausible to do this, than to deny germs.

I should go back to bed.

[–] angband@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Wearing plastic covers in the shower? Or no showers too? Bathing is overrated, or what?

[–] Tiral@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 days ago

On that note, I'm looking for volunteers to scale the great ice wall with me. We will prove the earth is flat and the governments have been lying to us (for no reason). /s

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How does he handle oxygen?

[–] auntieclokwise@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Same way he handles everything - copious amounts of alcohol.

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I read Germans and was like, "tru"

[–] BandanaBug@piefed.social 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But he can see Jesus?

Well he will if he keeps this up

If you can blindfold him, you can do whatever you want to him.
