Check out the tats on Pete Hegseth, Trumps new defense secretary

what-the-hell

In 2004 his unit was called to Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, where he served as an infantry platoon leader

Hegseth volunteered to serve in Baghdad and Samarra, where he held the position of infantry platoon leader

He reportedly persuaded Trump to pardon three American soldiers accused or convicted of war crimes related to the shooting of non-combatants in Iraq.

I hope one of his murder buddies has a ptsd induced psychotic break and decides to kill him with a rusty MRE spork
- was at Guantanamo too
- Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.
Blackwater?

I didn't quite think the Amerikkkan dekline had progressed to the point of having a governmental agency named after a decade-old meme led by a scam artist and having a 4ChaNazi as secretary of defense. lmao.

Vince McMahon's wife is possibly going to be in Trump's cabinet too.

Vince McMahon's wife is possibly going to be in Trump's cabinet too.

Can’t tell if this is real or not
- She was last time. Small business tzar or something
- Real. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/mcmahon-seen-frontrunner-lead-trumps-commerce-department-2024-11-08/
  
  She already led the Small Business Administration (lol) during Trump's first term.
- she's gonna be my (many times removed) boss until I get deemed redundant by Elon Musk and DOGE/fired/hopefully just survive through the end of my contract

It looks like the next season of America will feature some cartoonishly evil but also extremely comedic characters.

With a dude like this we're definitely gunning for a farce no-fash

Which country will be our Ethiopia?

I feel like an invasion of Mexico as a way to 'combat the cartels' has been in the consent manufacturing chute for a few years now
- Mexican-American War is due for a funny sequel...
canada
- Canada has been invading the US in the form of the absolute worst war crime loving media figures. David Frum (guilty of enough propaganda to be hanged, legally speaking only of course), Crowder (re-enacted George Floyd's murder among an infinite well of other racist shit, Ted Cruz (Cuban-Canadian... no further comment), and a lot more that I can't will myself into thinking about
- Too *Fallout*. We need fresh slop for the Blackshirts.
  
  Remember to properly dispose of your Blackshirts

A fascist worked out today, did you?

every day at work i lift about 3 to 4 thousand lbs over 9 to 11 hours so i just stopped going to the gym, figure getting time and a half to work out is better then paying 100 a mo

but i really need to switch up arms more

My Catholic grandfather said that people with tattoos are going to hell.

People with these tattoos certainly are

he looks like the type of guy who is so coked out he can only make "eye" contact with cameras.

the death stare on him is pretty funny

Also oh fuck he's from MN

of course this fucking fascist is from Forest Lake

Apparently he also almost killed a drummer with an axe on live TV

Lmfao Jesus Christ that video is insane

kelly Deus Dolt.

"He's just a fan of Latin! Guys! Can't someone tattoo the Catholic motto used during the crusades on their arm!? CANCEL CULTURE WHAT THE FUCK???"

But for real, I thought this was a "joke" someone put out? (The guy not his Nazi tats) He's some low level rando from Fox News...?

I can't believe a random Fox News host is our next Secretary of Defense. It's like an onion bit.

I can't wait for Gavin, the random valet guy who complimented Trump's tie, to be our Secretary of Energy and control all the nuclear stockpile.
- It's like an onion bit.
  
  has the onion run a headline along the lines of The Onion Shutting Down The Presses Due To Real Life Being Its Own Satire yet?
- I appoint myself to be Trump's new "Shit Czar" in charge of reversing all the EPA (or whoever makes those rules) rules/laws/whatever mandating "low flow" faucets and toilets.
  
  A "problem" that was solved 20 years ago. Easiest job ever. Just pretend I'm still working on it for 4 years then show him a Toto toilet. The Japanese really know how to suck human feces away with minimum amounts of water usage. (No, I'm not paid by Toto... but I'd like to be)
- Considering he 'served' as an officer at Guantanamo Bay and in Iraq, I don't think he's just a random Fox guy.
- They are going to completely reform the DoE to focus more on nuclear. Elon is going to have his fingers all over it. My job is about to SUCK.
- Harding's administration was basically that. Just handing out important government positions to his poker buddies.
This is the one appointment I’m hopeful for because if he can mismanage the armed forces into being even more incompetent than usual, I see that as a win.
- He's more than likely going to be totally deranged. The only question is how much he relies on rhetoric vs action. Incompetence is a given, but when the secdef position... he can kill a shitload of people. Of course in theory secdef answers to the president, but, they've gone "rogue" before to varying degrees. They hold immense authority at the end of the day and few will question their authority if they just say the president made the order. Genuinely crazy shit, but... not unexpected unfortunately
- As long as we don't get someone so incompetent that they throw the nuclear football

The crossover between crusade guys and zionists is kind of interesting in a way. You'd think they would aim to make it a christian state again, but maybe that is stage 2 of the plan.

It is actually worse than that, they want all the Jews back in the holy land to fulfill their apocalyptic death cult bible fanfic. After the final battle all the "good ones" will repent and become christian and the rest will be murdered by burger Jesus as all the most burger worshiping "christians" get taken up to heaven where they will have unlimited fountain drinks, McRibs and hooters girls serving them, not unlike their caricature of what they believe about Muslims and the 40 virgins bullshit.

Just 100% :projection:
- He has a Kingdom of Jerusalem tattoo and a load of crusader stuff on him though, which is a different flavour to the other evangelicals at least in my experience. But maybe that is just outside of the US.
- Weird how you never hear about Adrian Zenz believing in this shit to the point of writing a book about it!
There ruins a line through history from the crusades to Zionism and the illegal zionist entity has many things in common with the crusades.

here are all the reactionary symbols i recognize so far:

jerusalem cross, "devs vvlt" and chi-rho: neo-crusadist iconography, with the later two also being associated with opus dei and the fascist regime in spain
and "we the people": iconography associated with the illegal settler-colonial occupation of northern America
emblem with the inscription "Ne Desit Virtus": symbol of the 187th Infantry Regimen of the illegal yankeestani so called "military" (actually just a gang ofremoveds and murderers). responsible for a shitton of war crimes.

what did i miss?

I think MDCCLXXV is supposed to be 1776 even though it actually means 1775, that would also go under the second bullet point
- Battles of Lexington and Concord were 1775; the shootiest Americans tend to highlight that over the declaration.
- 1775
  
  Fun fact! That's the birth year of the US Army. So it was likely on purpose, unfortunately.
