Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

He can fuck right off

Hegseth drinks his own piss
he was told there was a lot of alcohol in his piss
The best part of Hegseth’s appearances is his unshakable overconfidence. He truly stands behind every dumb utterance he makes like it is gospel.
Is he the "I never wash my hands" guy? Or was that another Fox talking head?
Just a piece of garbage
"Pete Hegseth ~~’s D-day speech on immigration%~~ condemned as ‘grotesque stupidity’"
FTFY
The US defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, has been accused by historians and rights campaigners of “grotesque stupidity”
I see they were being kind to him.
I literally don't know a single veteran or service member who either respects him or even just likes him. Literally 100% across the board disdain. There's got to be at least a couple who have positive views of him in the DoD, but no one I've met or worked with...
