  1. Hegseth is backed by southern Christian nationalist who think war with Iran is necessary to trigger the “The End Times”. Problem is that if this conflict lasts into midterms and oil prices surge he may be replaced like Noem.

    He’s so unhinged I can’t tell whether he understands hes diposable (or) if he thinks he’s doing a perfect job because Trump certainly doesn’t give af about Jesus or holy wars.

  2. I’ve noticed a schism this week. Hegseth sat on the Shawn Ryan show and told the MAGA community that the U.S. was done getting involved in endless engagements in the Middle East. Members of Ben Shapiro’s media empire are turning on this war; Shawn Ryan turned on the president. The huge media empires that helped elect Trump are turning around and openly against him and the war. That’s a major shift.

  3. Where in the PR war communications manual does it say:

    *Always look like you’re having fun…*

    Kinda hilarious how this dude keeps trying to portray the image that he’s a hardass, know-it-all, tough guy, yet everyone sees him as the drunk, wanna be, dipshit that he actually is. 

  5. Remember when he announced that the Kurds were joining and then it turns out that the Kurds weren’t joining?

    Good times

    Janessa Goldbeck, chief executive of Vet Voice Foundation, a nonprofit advocacy organisation, said: “Pete Hegseth is a very dangerous person. He’s a white Christian nationalist and has the arsenal of the United States government at his disposal and a permission slip from President Trump to deploy carnage wherever he wishes against whomever he wishes.”

  7. It’s funny watching scum like Hegseth fawn over Trump, knowing he will be like all the others that will be discarded when he is of no use to him. Once Trump is gone, Hegseth will face accountability eventually

    These scumbags need to be rounded up for modern Nuremberg trials for crimes against humanity.

    >Pete Hegseth: All I know is, I’m in the room every day and I see how President Trump operates and what he’s putting first, and it’s **America, Americans, and American interests**

    Is it though? He seems more interested in gold plated ballrooms and plastering his name on everything.

    Of course it’s only the beginning. 

    To the US administration and Trump right now war is the only answer. 

    It keeps him in power. It keeps them in power. It keeps all the other current certain other events out of the picture. 

  11. If he hasn’t already met the definition of war criminal he will eventually. Let’s hope justice is done.

    This regime is gonna get americans killed. Sorry, more Americans killed. Sorry more Americans killed again.

  13. This warmongering asshole Kegsbreath is just playing to an audience of one, i.e., what the dumb orange ape wants. They don’t give a shit that everything worldwide will skyrocket in price as fuel prices rise, but then again, when has this administration thought through anything?

  14. What are you going to do next Pete? Ask AI to help target more schools with tomahawks? Murder more of their kids so we have no choice but to send our kids to fight and die in return?

    This whole thing is stupid.

    I will go to my grave forever unsatisfied if Hegseth never faces consequences for his war crimes.

  16. Let’s ask the real questions here, how does Trump and Co. make a successful u-turn out of this debacle? Oil is already trading at $115/barrel, and there is no way in a free and fair election that Americans will pay $4.00/ for gas, drive to the polling station, and vote for the same party that caused it.

    Can’t believe people are really willing to die over this fight for Israel

    7 soldiers confirmed kia and more to come apparently

    This is… not how any of that is supposed to work. Strikes on any nation should be a last resort when all else has failed, and should be used with a calculated eye to cease them at the first possible sign of conciliation. Because they KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE.

    And they’re *surely* not supposed to be an open-ended manic campaign cheered on by a drunken warmonger woo girl who is ROCK HARD RIGHT NOW telling you about all the Iranians he’s totally gonna murder.
