A hidden message? That could be true. It’s the only way to make any sense out of it.
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In the latest embarrassment to rock the Trump administration, Pete Hegseth admitted on Friday that he accidentally texted Houthi rebels a detailed list of the makeup products he uses before appearing on television.
The embattled defense secretary said that he had mistakenly sent the Houthis a cosmetics order intended for Sephora.
A spokesman for the Houthis thanked Hegseth for continuing to share his personal information with them, adding that his NFL draft predictions helped them win thousands of dollars Thursday night on FanDuel.
This wouldn’t surprise me if it were actually real. He does seem that dumb and undisciplined.
But… but… he has WARRIOR ETHOS!!! /s
How he thinks he is…
IRL…
What a loser dipshit.
He’s a spoilt, not very bright little baby who lo-o-o-o-oves his bottle.
yep… they are all at the emotional level of toddlers, but full human sized, drunk, rich, and running our country…
come to think of it, I kind of feel like this thinking about all that…
Well, there’s having a tantrum b/c can’t get one’s way, and there’s having a tantrum b/c frustrated by incompetent, evil, and stupid bastards ruining things.
There’a a big difference, as we well know.
i’m against Hegseth, full-stop, but all the jokes and glee over his makeup kinda makes me uncomfortable because it has an undercurrent of homophobia to me. lots of guys wear makeup. Hegseth has plenty of awful things about him without having to make fun of the fact that he wants to look good on camera. (see also Vance, who i have zero sympathy for, but making fun of his guyliner also makes me uncomfortable)
I go back and forth on those kinds of jokes. I try not to post them, but sometimes I think they strike me as good, funny digs at men like Vance, Hegseth and Tramp, because it’s ironic that such homophobic shitheads wear makeup, which they would deride other men for doing. But yeah, that doesn’t seem to outweigh the ill of perpetuating the accompanying homophobic idea that men wearing makeup is bad because it’s supposedly a “gay” thing to do. Thank you for the reminder.
In addition to the uncomfortable undertones, I worry about jokes that are primarily funny because they feed into anger about the subjects. And while I wouldn’t argue with that anger, it really isn’t very conducive to silly grins…
i didn’t mean it to sound like i’m calling you or anyone out about it, it’s just how it reads to me. it just feels like low-hanging fruit as far as reasons to take him (or vance, or trump, or anyone like them) down a peg go.
Lotta billboards like this one around Richmond.
