We don't often rush to recommend a TV program because we know someone's going to hate it, but when that someone is vile and disgusting and prone to making pronouncements (as he did today) like, "DEI is dead," we can't wait to recommend something that will blow his mind.
There's never been a worse Secretary of Defense than Pete Hegseth. This was anticipated. It wasn't just the fact that he paid off a woman and made her sign an NDA, it wasn't just his firing from one job after another, it wasn't just that he had no supervisory experience, it was those things and so much more combined. And the Senate realized it. That's why Miss Sassy JD Vance had to strut into the chamber swinging that fat ass behind him and deliver a tie-breaking vote as Vice President. No, that doesn't happen with Cabinet nominees.
Attending the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense hearing today, we were shocked by so much. First off, Pete was a TV personality, yes. And we knew he put in a make up salon at the Pentagon so he can primp and preen. But we've rarely seen any Cabinet member -- male or female -- in any administration wear so much make up.
On the plus side, he had taken a make up tip one of us had recommended:
They did cover the entire face with a foundation. The Psoriasis patches still shone through. As did the little herpes sore he had above his right lip. Up close, you notice just how greasy hair looks and have to wonder if, as he's admitted publicly that he never washes his hands, he also never washes that greasy rat's nest on top of his head? We marveled over how the right eye brow always shot up higher on his head -- did he practice that as a young child while watching Vivian Leigh in GONE WITH THE WIND? -- while he smiled and frowned with the left side of his mouth -- off balance like one of those yokels who takes a pull from the beer bottle out of the side of his mouth.
Is he hopped up on drugs or does Little Petey Hegseth just need to pee-pee?
We wondered that because he had a very hard time sitting still when speaking. He would bounce up and down in his chair and weave side to side when speaking.
Early in the hearing, US House Rep Rosa DeLauro noted that military readiness is holistic and includes so much including education. If it seemed that reality flew right over Hegseth's head, it's because he's not educated. Educated people may stumble over their words but they don't say the wrong words and then have to stop to find the right word because the words are right there on the paper that they're staring at as they read. "Include" never reads like "improve" to someone with an actual education. They never have to stop, if they have basic reading skills, the way Hegseth did repeatedly in his opening statement, to go back and correct a word.
A typical sentence from Hegseth in the hearing -- whether speaking off the top of his head or reading aloud from the paper before him -- would be, "How do we gets hands in -- how do we get systems, platforms, future capabilities in the hands of war fighters."
President John F. Kennedy may have sought the best and the brightest for his Cabinet but Convicted Felon Donald Chump clearly went instead with the worst and the weakest.
And Hegseth is weak, very, very weak.
And we know LULU IS A RHINOCEROS would explode his head.
Allison Flom and Jason Flom (the two are daughter and father) are the authors of the popular children's book which has been turned into a film for APPLE+ TV. The 2018 book is about Lulu who sees herself -- in her mind, in the mirror -- as a rhinoceros but others don't seem to.
That's who she is, it's what her identity is.
At one point in this musical cartoon, Lulu sings:
When somebody looks at me
Like I should fit their expectations visually
They get so busy judging me
They never get to know me
I know what I need
Acceptance. That's the message. We all need acceptance.
But some, like Hegseth and the ridiculous and hateful US House Rep Mario Rafael Díaz-Balart can't handle it. So they attack others for who they are.
These type of people make life, in the words of Lulu, "much harder than I expected but at least I made a friend." And she does, she makes friends and they support her.
Again, she makes friends.
Hegseth merely repels. Steve Benen (MADDOW REPORT) notes:
Donald Trump sat down with The Atlantic in April, and when the discussion turned to his beleaguered defense secretary, the president offered support — in an awkwardly worded way. “I think he’s gonna get it together,” Trump said about Pete Hegseth.
That might yet be true, but the hapless Pentagon chief apparently hasn’t gotten it together just yet. NBC News reported:
Among the secretary’s many problems at the Pentagon in his early months was widespread personnel turmoil inside the building, especially in the aftermath of the Signal chat scandal, leaving Hegseth without, among other things, a chief of staff. In late April, the Defense Department moved some officials around in the hopes of bolstering Hegseth’s leadership team, but vacancies remained.
As NBC News’ report noted, these positions have traditionally been seen as “prestigious” and “typically attract multiple qualified candidates,” but “at least three people have already turned down potential roles under Hegseth.”
Seems hothead Hegseth still can't do the job he was appointed to. And seems like the reason for that falls squarely on his shoulders. Ashleigh Fields (THE HILL) notes:
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) slammed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Monday as hundreds of Marines and thousands of National Guard members were sent to Los Angeles to quell protests.
Newsom said Hegseth’s “a joke, everybody knows it, [he’s] so in over his head, what an embarrassment,” in an interview with Brian Tyler Cohen, a progressive YouTube host.
“That’s this guy’s weakness — masquerading his strength. … I don’t even know he masquerades his strength.”
Is Pete Hegseth good at giving head?
We ask because he couldn't stop bobbing his head up and down when speaking, he forever looked like he was sucking a cock.
DEI is dead?
The lady doth protest too much.
Lulu doesn't protest. Lulu accepts who she is and finds friends who accept her.
Imagine being Pete Hegseth. A grown man who attacks LGBTQ+ people. A grown man who wears make up in public and attacks LGBTQ+ people. A grown man who wears make up in public, had them build a beauty salon for him at the Pentagon and attacks LGBTQ+ people.
Yeah, his head would explode if he came across the delightful LULU IS A RHINOCEROS because he can't accept acceptance, he's too busy hating himself and projecting it out on others.
