A lot of jokes itt, but this is more fascism.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Making fun of fascists can often be just as satisfying as punching them. Both is best, of course...but one or the other will also do.

[–] BloodMuffin@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

Joint Strike force is Joint because he needs supervision

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

If it's anything like other Hegseth strike forces, he will pay those informants handsomely, do nothing to them, and learn nothing.

"The leaks are coming from inside the SecDef's office!"

Paying someone to hold his phone when he's been drinking, so it's a full-time position.
