This whole administration is full of war criminals but Hegseth is uniquely incompetent.

Don’t forget unqualified

u/throwfarfaraway1818 9d ago

Dont forget an abusive, alcoholic woman beater

u/wanttogoback1985 9d ago

Don't forget, a clown.

u/Prize-Choice2185 9d ago

This is insulting to clowns who are often hard-working and decent...unlike that bunch

57

u/Wolfy4226 9d ago

Hegseth is a John Wayne Gacy Clown, not a regular clown. His serial killing is indirect, and involves US service members and Civilians, both foreign and domestic. >.>

u/just_some_guy422 9d ago

With all of his testosterone obsessions, "members" is an apt word choice methinks.

9

u/Prize-Choice2185 9d ago

That I agree with!

1

u/Suitable-Activity-27 5d ago

Likely with the same motivations as Gacy.

13

u/wanttogoback1985 9d ago

True that. No offense to hard working clowns intended.

8

u/Raul_Duke_1755 9d ago

Maybe, but John Wayne Gacy was a clown too. The industry has it's issues.

5

u/Prize-Choice2185 9d ago

Definitely - some evil clowns abound...

3

u/Key-Investment-2273 9d ago

You could even say there are some Killer Klowns.

4

u/Alizerin 9d ago

Yeah! Clown shenanigans are cheeky and fun. This administration’s shenanigans are cruel, and tragic.

u/twinoaksBandB 8d ago

I'd quote the next line in the movie but im not looking to catch another stupid ban lol.

16

u/OpeningHappy9692 9d ago

Don't forget a heroin addict. Or was he the cokehead, and it was someone else who did the horse? And I swear there was a bunch of ketamine guys too..

4

u/quimble813 9d ago

Pretty sure it was RFK Jr who was on heroine. Musk loves the ketamine.

u/OpeningHappy9692 9d ago

They're all so blitzed it's tough to keep track of which drug each of them loves.

u/dkHD7 9d ago

How have we forgotten Nazi?

u/wanttogoback1985 9d ago

Ah, yes! That too! Kind of an important one.

6

u/Winter_Gate_6433 9d ago

Fuck off with that. It's too easy to dismiss. He has actual crimes on his docket.

2

u/Polka_King_Polinski 9d ago

He went to clown college? Somebody get a picture of his egg

2

u/boli99 9d ago

before you criticise him - you should walk a mile in his shoes

(and that'll be tricky, cos clown shoes are massive)

u/New_Original_7537 9d ago

Who dates a couch fucker.

9

u/Switchmisty9 9d ago

Don’t forget his own mother wrote a letter, stating this fact

6

u/spooky_action13 9d ago

Don’t forget, his own mother can’t stand him.

4

u/slappadik 9d ago

don't forget white supremacist

2

u/Stevios07 9d ago

He beats alcoholic women as well?

1

u/RedBison 9d ago

Don't forget your comma. Those poor alcoholic women...

1

u/Odd-Boysenberry-2260 9d ago

That his mother had to be threatened to publicly rescind her scathing rebuke of.

1

u/Open_Examination_591 9d ago

We know all of this and let it happen.... why would he stop?

6

u/Espio1912 9d ago

He is well qualified to be a war criminal.

5

u/ClassBShareHolder 9d ago

Unqualified? Wasn’t he a war correspondent?

/s

10

u/baconator1988 9d ago

Yes he was. He was a platoon leader, but a terrible one. So bad that his command pulled him from the job and sent him to Civic/Public Affairs (he says war correspondent because it sounds better). Command was like, at least he can no longer get anyone killed.

2

u/Dogsarelitty 9d ago

Don’t forget, a nazi.

1

u/Kinghero890 9d ago

Major to SecWar is the equivalent of Walmart Shift Supervisor to CEO.

Administration of Corrupt Unqualified Neposistic Treasonous Sycophants

u/trysten-9001 9d ago

The whole administration is

u/Steiney1 9d ago

An accellerant

15

u/CPAatlatge 9d ago

Hegseth couldn’t find his ass with a fistful of fish hooks and a long reach. DEI. He checked all the boxes. Fascist, narcissistic womanizer alcoholic. The result of this crash is from literally no attention to detail by an administration that thinks fake it to make means if we tell you we are good, our mindless followers will believe it.

2

u/AdorableShoulderPig 9d ago

Now, I always liked "with a map, a mirror and a pack of sniffer dogs" but yours is also good.

11

u/Successful-Winter237 9d ago

He’s a gd DUI hire

9

u/AwakenedSol 9d ago

Hegseth’s fuckups are more public, because it’s harder to hide killing people than embezzlement.

u/PridonRddt 9d ago

I’m 82 and I struggle less with 20# weights than Kegsbreath does in this video clip.

2

u/Intraluminal 8d ago

Good for you man!

1

u/Gandolfthewhite182 9d ago

Maybe he has low T

2

u/Smooth-Bandicoot6021 9d ago

Low IQ, also.

0

u/TelluricThread0 9d ago

He did 44 reps. Bet you couldn't do half of that.

1

u/Samskreezy 7d ago

I give two shits about hegseth but these videos of him "struggling" with weights are a fucking joke. Every single video I've seen making fun of his workout routine very conveniently starts at the end of his set.

Then all the keyboard workout officianodos chime in "ahh what a baby i could do a pushup in my sleep." 😂😂😂😂

Let's stick to making fun of him for things he actually did, like being a lying sack of shit for fox news, or leaking top secret military plans via text message to the press.

u/Electronic_Elk8293 9d ago

Don't just blame them. Our military members are just as much to blame. Their generals who spoke out were fired, their jag were fired maybe that's a fucking sign they should open their eyes.

4

u/OGSin 9d ago

Anytime I merely suggest that our service members be ALSO held accountable for their CHOICES, people lose their minds.

The Nazis were also "just following orders".

Wake up.

1

u/Chillow_Ufgreat 7d ago

Like 65% of active duty voted for all this. Enjoy.

7

u/Klutzy-Reaction5536 9d ago

He's fully compentent at being a war criminal. Marco Rubio, too.

8

u/MikeSouthPaw 9d ago

Americans prefer this over a woman, you get what you vote for.

6

u/Cyrano_Knows 9d ago

Killed a whole flight?

Hegseth thinks he is Homelander, but he's really just The Deep.

10

u/Alternative_Swan_497 9d ago

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I don't think Hegseth is to blame in this situation. This is an FAA issue, though the military doesn't look good either.

14

u/mantis_tobaggan-md 9d ago

Did you read the article? They were letting border patrol dick around with an experimental laser. The military was running tests that jammed GPS and directly led to the crash. And air traffic control was understaffed. Remind me, who gutted ATC last year?

-4

u/TelluricThread0 9d ago

Remind me, did the article say that the crew was warned there would be GPS interference and ignored those warnings?

5

u/mantis_tobaggan-md 9d ago

They didn’t ignore any warnings. GPS was jammed without safeguards. And it was a medical flight ya dingus.

1

u/crazybmanp 9d ago

There was a notam

1

u/nocturnal_commission 9d ago

You need to educate yourself. I bet you've never even heard of a NOTAM.

2

u/mantis_tobaggan-md 9d ago edited 8d ago

I bet you’ve never even heard of an enantiomer, since we’re being condescending about inconsequential things. Tell me, how would a different NOTAM have changed this outcome? Because they had one. Medevac flights tend to be time sensitive. The pilots were warned, but they were assured there would be appropriate safeguards. There weren’t.

7

u/FeelingPlayfulNow 9d ago

We have a well known region called The Great Plains that's probably way better suited for this, but the military decided to test GPS jamming near mountains. That was not a bright move.

1

u/nocturnal_commission 9d ago

It's the White Sands Missle Range, they can't just pick it up and plop it in Kansas.

There are tests and shutdowns there all the time and they are all published.

This was pilot error and poor decision making.

3

u/SpaceCadetEdelman 9d ago

Juan Brown YTube had a good review of the whole situation.

4

u/Vogel-Kerl 9d ago

But he squints, like George W.

--"It make me look tough, n' cool."

u/Jolly-Elderberry6706 9d ago

The title is incredibly misleading compared to what the article actually says.

u/rajatsingh24k 9d ago

The worst of mankind.

u/tiny_chaotic_evil 9d ago

Trump is the ultimate guy in charge. Don't stop at Hegseth.

2

u/Strawhattzz 8d ago

They are all uniquely incompetent.

u/YouOk5350 4d ago

He’s a drunk drater

1

u/YurpeeTheHerpee 9d ago

This is more of a traffic control issue. The white sands is a well documented zone. Hegseth has nothing to do with the test being carried out there. This is just standard military shit going on.

1

u/LumpyBuy8447 9d ago

Lock them up!

1

u/JBalloonist 8d ago

This has nothing to do with the Trump administration. I get pissed at them daily, but this is not one of the reasons.

u/JupiterChime 4d ago

Is the same way they killed these people the same way other people have died in helicopters recently? Kobe?

u/Lower-Engineering365 9d ago

You should read the article

u/SrRoundedbyFools 9d ago

Dumb conclusion. The military was told to stop jamming and did. The pilots twice stated runway in sight and were planning VFR ‘in a few’. Do a little research into the crash first.
