That may be the most embarrassing performance I've ever seen from a Secretary of Defense. He sounds overly defensive, frantic, and practically out of breath. He's also directly calling for state media.


That's why he was hired, for media skills. Trump wasn't interested in an experienced defense expert. He just wants good PR so people don't get too yippy (using his word choice last year when Americans weren't happy about the market fluctuations Trump caused) and interfere with his money making wars.


What "media skills?" He isn't displaying any effective media skills?

People are so tired of this corrupt, evil regime's belligerence.

I cannot wait to see Kegsdeath put in front of a firing squad after he is convicted of his war crimes.

These characters like Hegseth like to tout themselves as Christian nationalists but literally everything they stand for and believe in is in exact opposition to what Christ taught and commanded in the Gospels.


He prayed during a recent press conference. Performative Christianity.

I noticed during this morning's press conference that Hegseth played up his Christianity as usual, then Gen. Caine opened his remarks by sending his thoughts to the families of those lost in the recent plane crash - but not his prayers. I can't help but wonder if he's not on board with the complete clown show going on next to him.

I mean, his own press is the most embarrassing. Bench pressing and vastly inflating his numbers, his hilarious pull-ups, the ballet kettlebell swings. Everything about him screams pretend tough guy, especially his insecurity.

Obviously. His own mother called him out for his abuse.

Absolutely pathetic.

Also, can you imagine if he was a woman what people would be saying?

I don't get it. What's so unflattering? I mean, he was kind of frowning in one, but that could also be interpreted as looking serious or resolute--just the "tough" image he wants to portray.
