US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said that Gulf countries are “going on the offensive” as he argued that the US’s war on Iran is going in Washington’s favour.

“The only thing that is widening is our advantage. Not to mention our Gulf allies stepping up even more now, going on the offence,” Hegseth said at a press conference on Friday.

The US’s Gulf allies have not said they are joining the US war on Iran, and Hegseth’s remarks have already raised eyebrows.

Are such photos of Pete in Heat still allowed?

No, automatic flogging and death by firing squad, after Pete personally slaps the offender in the face and exclaims "how dare you!" But not before he's had exactly 2 glasses of whiskey, on the rocks, because he doesn't like the way warm liquor burns his inflamed throat (probably from all the cocksucking, but its only gay if you look them in the eyes! So no homo, bro!)

I don't find cocksucking an offensive activity. In fact, that is an activity that I value highly. Beyond that, it has been and continues to be a pejorative referencing gay men, whether you meant it that way or not, and I think we need to phase out that phrase as a pejorative. I say all hail the cocksuckers and to the guillotine with the incompetent, greedy hacks.
