He's the lovechild of Rambo and Commando. Is he for real?

[Thankyou4calling]

Sure he'll be mentiond elsewhere but I feel Pete Hegseth deserves a thread of his own.

Stumbled across him and have to say he is definitely not pulling his punches.

No longer is he US Secretary of State for Defence. Oh no. Pete is the minister of war!

No fat soldiers, no beards, no trans, no , no Muslims. He's an All American Christian who seems to start the day doing the marines assault course.

Future POTUS?

I like him!

[otolith]

AKA "Kegsbreath" and "Whisky Pete".

He comes across as what we'd get if we made an absolute Hereford-boathouse-walt head of the armed forces.

Fail to see anything amazing about him apart from coming 2nd in planet earths biggest cretin of the year awards after the landslide win by his boss.

I think him managing 40+ reps of bench presses with 20kgs and being last in the online clip of him running mark him out as an utter unit.

I think that is how it is spelt.

Got to be satire! The guy's an insane loon.

[-Lummox-]

I'm just amazed it's taken this long for such a clownshoe to get a thread of his own.

[Tango13]

He's all about masculinity, testosterone, manliness etc

As Shakespeare once wrote...

The Lady doth protest too much methinks

[Terminator X]

Former TV personality? Perhaps he is just acting.

TX.

Have you seen him Cosplaying with the Marines doing weight training?

He's 20 years younger than me and struggles to lift half the weight I do, and I wouldn't call myself strong.

Note to self; If you're an absolute weak-ass drunkard - keep it to yourself.

This idiot is drunk on National Christianity cruelty and delusion. The sooner he and all the other Twunts are in the Hague on war crimnes - the better.

[gazza285]

South Park has him sussed.

Any chance of a linky?

He's more It Ain't Half Hot Mum than Rambo.

The guy is an embarrassment to the US, and you can bet if the Dems win the mid terms he will be impeached.

I'd bet good money that he and the rest of the Chump Mob will be pardoned. Assuming that they actually hand over power.

Impeachment has no personal consequences anyway beyond being removed and banned from federal office. It cannot be presidentially pardoned.

If I understand it correctly, Presidential Pardons are for criminality - not for impeachments. Both Chump and Kegsbreath have committed multiple crimes.

Allegedly, yep. Criminal charges would be a separate issue. Trump, as a president and after impeachment a former president, is immune to prosecution for crimes committed in an official capacity. He could literally order the assassination of his political rivals and would be untouchable - at least at a federal level. At a state level it might be possible to bring a case, but the restrictions on the ability to use evidence relating to official actions would make it impossible.

Hegseth has no such immunity, in a situation in which Trump is impeached and cannot pardon him.

[hidetheelephants]

Thicko wife-beating racist, so he's a shoo-in for the GoP nomination.

Word on the street is that if Chump loses the mid-terms, he'll pardon everyone and himself.

that is a bit of an overstretch to the ruling though to claim that bolded bit. the existing supreme court ruling does makes it plausible for that order to be immune, but it also isn't a case of settled law and it would certainly end up being contested as to whether immunity would apply in the supreme court if that did happen.
