Is this the Onion?

I mean, I wouldn't doubt it's real, but it surely sounds like a joke.

The bad joke is that we let them dumb down the people here for so long that they elected a pedophile for a second term after he set out to revenge his fallen partner he had killed to prevent him squealing

Idiocracy was a satire. Now it's closer to a documentary. Let's hope it doesn't end up being "a better timeline".

Cheers.

The context of Hegseth's remark and the reactions of his co-hosts indicate he was joking.

Important context in there.

Thank you.

No, but it's just news-cycle stirrup by the trump administration (IMO).

What about talking about what they are doing not what they are saying (that they ate doing)?

Wait, I remember this headline, but is this from the same clown or is this just funny?

I wondered too. Holy sweet illiterate baby Jesus... it's real

Fox News host Pete Hegseth has said on air that he has not washed his hands for 10 years because "germs are not a real thing".

Speaking on Fox and Friends, Hegseth said the infectious micro-organisms did not exist because they could not be seen with the naked eye.

"I inoculate myself," added the Harvard and Princeton graduate.

His remarks came after co-hosts Ed Henry and Jedediah Bila made fun of him for eating left-over pizza.

"My 2019 resolution is to say things on air that I say off air," Hegseth added.

Jfc.

Fuck that guy. Seriously.

But we should read the fucking article if we’re going to quote it.

Next sent sentence:

Mr Hegseth later told USA Today that his remarks were intended to be a joke.

Maybe he was covering his ass, maybe it was a joke. But this is like the last thing on an incredibly long list of things to try and go after for.

Hey, btw this guys pastor doesn’t think women should have the right to vote. The military has been actively purging women.

They’re told it’s a bad idea because ‘the men would be distracted with their natural instinct to protect women’

bramkaandorp@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 111d

"protect".

We know how these people think.

AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 111d

His attitude towards women really makes me wonder why he now has to have his mommy-wife accompany him to Pentagon meetings?

Is it that he needs her to do his job for him and/or keep him from accidentally drunk texting classified military plans to the wrong journalists again?

Or is it like a control thing? Like a paranoia the hostage might try to escape or signal they're in danger if he doesn't keep an eye on her? Not to try and make any excuse for her for deciding to marry this guy, but he does have a history of domestic abuse and I really cannot comprehend wtf the logic is?

"Women are too emotional and incompetent to serve in the military," but also, "I need to bring my wife to classified work meetings so that I can (supposedly) do my job leading the military"...?

Maybe I'm just too emotional to see the flawless logic? Or for expecting there to be logic in anything he does.

Read this in a tired state of mind and wondered why Hegseth would deny the existence of germans. But I guess there are less germans than germs, so it would be more plausible to do this, than to deny germs.

I should go back to bed.

Edit: just read through the comments on here and, yes, he did say it. Fucks sake.

We all know his history and how ridiculous it is that he has the job he has, etc.

But to read an article from a handful of years ago talking about him as the random worthless propaganda TV host he was at the time.. it somehow still stings.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 14 pts · 112d (3 replies)

He spills enough alcohol on his hands that it kills the germs.

His liver runs on alcohol. Also, you can see his neo-nazi tattoos after he gets dunks.

But he can see Jesus?

"I can't see germs so they aren't real" sounds like the kind of meaningless strawman "got 'em!" argument he might make against atheism or whatever. It would be stupid then, too.

But no, he of course did the more sincere, more stupider straightforward version of that statement.

Mark my words. If you're in the United States, modern medicine will become increasingly difficult to obtain, and that which is available will be out of date.

That’s been the trend, yeah. We’re at the stage where they start to purge the masses, or have we not noticed?
