Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). 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. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. 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!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Ah yes, the racist warrior Jesus killer of innocents cult.

I hope he takes his lethality and shoves it so far up his ass he tickles his tonsils.

The drunk religious nutter sack of shit is now a war criminal.

If you kill Americans, if you threaten Americans anywhere on Earth, we will hunt you down without apology and without hesitation, and we will kill you.

A previous statement by Hegseth some time ago. Man, this guy's bloodthirsty.

Why do you wish violence on yourself hegscuck?

[–] Damage@feddit.it 9 points 6 days ago

Early christians where martyred for refusing Roman military service

[–] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Pete Hegseth is a weak dork.

Religion is just a test, "are you willing to sit there and pretend you believe insane bs?". Okay then i can pay you to tell our customers (or voters) insane bullshit.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Is he being passive aggressive against his boss and the Epstein class?

[–] Ozzy@piefeed.com 6 points 6 days ago

Is this about his ex partners?

Hegseth is firmly in the dangerous, misogynistic, bigoted nutter class

[Verse 1]
Hey everybody, did the news get around
About a guy named Butcher Pete
Oh, Pete just flew into this town
And he's choppin' up all the women's meat

[Chorus]
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
He just hacks, whacks, choppin' that meat

[Verse 2]
Butcher Pete's got a long sharp knife
He starts choppin' and don't know when to stop
All you fellas gotta watch your wives
‘Cause Pete don't care whose meat he chops

[Chorus]
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
He just hacks, whacks, choppin' that meat

[Verse 3]
Ever since Pete flew into town
He's been havin' a ball
Just cuttin' and choppin' for miles around
Single women, married women, old maids and all

[Chorus]
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
He just hacks, whacks, choppin' that meat

[Verse 4]
Wakes up in the morning, half past five
Chops from sunrise to sunset
I don't see how he stays alive
Meat's gonna be the death of ole Pete yet

[Chorus]
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
He just hacks, whacks, choppin' that meat

[Verse 5]
The police put Pete in jail
Yes, he finally met his fate
But when they came to pay his bail
They found him choppin' on his cell mate

[Chorus]
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
He just hacks, whacks, choppin' that meat

[Outro]
That Butcher Pete is a crazy man
Tries to chop down the wind and the rain
Just hacks on anything he can get
Say, turn this record over, you ain't heard nothing yet

Why is no one nuking them then?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Genuinely curious why these chuckle fucks haven't done a Hiroshima over Tehran by now. It's just about the only thing they (and Israel) haven't tried.

The only two explanations I've got is (1) the protocol for releasing nuclear weapons for active use is such a slog that these dipshits don't want to go through the paperwork or (2) our nuclear arsenal isn't remotely as battle-ready as we've advertised.

[–] nlgranger@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

(3) a lasting war is more profitable.

They just complained about running low on Tomahawks. Don’t give them any ideas.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Right on par with the lunatics in charge of Israel and Iran.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf 6 points 6 days ago

Nobody likes an angry drunk, Pete.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You know these douchebags are lying Atheists, because if they really believed in God and an Afterlife, they would NEVER behave like this, or they would KNOW they are going to Hell.

[–] uenticx@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

A true Atheist/Agnostic has realized empathy just pondering why all this is happening.

This man has never done that. He 'believes'.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)
