That's a bingo!

And THAT, my friends, is how you change things with a Sharpie in this administration

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 59 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes Pete, everyone definitely respects you and thinks you’re super cool and tough now. Definitely not somebody who has ever pissed themselves after a whiskey binge.

[–] SantasMagicalComfort@piefed.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hey that happens to the best of us.

[–] crazycraw@crazypeople.online 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

yeah I mean hey I am not throwing that stone in this glass house.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Would you throw it as an axe in Times Square?

[–] crazycraw@crazypeople.online 4 points 2 months ago

well, yeah, with whiskey® at the helm, anything is possible.™

Is it the ones blowing the dog whistle or the ones hearing it that are too dumb to make it subtle?

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 33 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I just checked and his actual name is Peter Brian Hegseth.

It looks ridiculous that the sign only has his nickname.

Putting his real name like this on the sign would at least make him seem like an adult:

Peter B. Hegseth

I guess we should be glad for the sloppy execution, it helps future generations to identify these dipshits.

Well, they're using his preferred name rather than birth name... they wouldn't prevent anyone else the same courtesy, would they?

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Like Miguel Cruz

I have been in several situations where preferred names are not permited in official documentations.

In those engagements you are introduced with your full name, but are welcome to ask participants to use your preferred name.

It just can't be on official documentations

Damn, man is named after two family guy characters

ᛋᛋecretary of War

I’m enjoying the clear belly fat on display. The very same fat he has criticised career service members for having, those much older than him with far more distinguished service records and the respect of those they command. Wonder if Kegsbreath and Boof Kavanaugh shotgunned bears together back in the day.

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 3 points 2 months ago

You paid him a complement there. “Distinguished service record” is just a murder high score.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

That's just his inflamed liver

[–] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I am Jack’s raging bile duct.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Man these guys are full on gloves off and Americans just shaking it off like it's just some bluster. Y'all are so fucked it's not funny. What does it feel like to lose your democracy?

[–] turdburglar@piefed.social 25 points 3 months ago

it’s not great.

0/10 stars. would not recommend.

[–] underisk@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is a mask falling, not a sea change. Democracy in the United States has never been more than a fantasy.

[–] FundMECFS@anarchist.nexus 2 points 2 months ago

This. Secretary of war is more accurate for the past 50 years than Secretary of defence. This is just a mask off moment.

[–] gustofwind@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Could have easily replaced it if he wanted to but he did this on purpose

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 20 points 3 months ago

I don't think it is possible for that to happen without it being intentional.

[–] Bgugi@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

OMG... Thought this was a shop...

[–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You mean its not a shop? Wtf... no... wtf?

[–] Kondeeka@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

There's a second angle in another thread, I couldn't find a single inconsistency (same exact rotation of the teapot for example) so I think it's indeed real.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 10 points 3 months ago

Wink wink nudge nudge.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

That's a foreshadowing!

[–] yggstyle@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

The extra s is because he's a sssssnake wearing a fleshsuit.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Scumfuck will likely to experience more mutiny.
