Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used a transphobic slur while speaking at the Iowa State Fair Monday, where he appeared in support of Republican Rep. Zach Nunn, who is running for a third term in Congress.

I don't want to turn the sound on and hear that wreck. Are people in the background yelling "Fix The Navy! Fix The Navy!"? They should be. ("Relieve The Lincoln" would be better but more awkward)

Penelope Hegseth, Pete Hegseth's mother: “I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego You are that man (and have been for many years) and as your mother it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth."

In a non-shithole country he would be hounded endlessly by the media until he resigned in disgrace for giving this deranged campaign speech while simultaneously losing a war in Iran. In this shithole country, absolutely nothing will happen.

What a disgrace to this country for this fascist suck up to have the job he has, and a job that he sucks at as well. MAGA did this. Never forget that, never.

Not only is Iran fighting back but Iran has destroyed US bases in the Middle East and shattered the illusion of protection that Arab counties thought they got from these bases. Now the US military is planning to remove those bases. Trump caused this disaster.

You mean like making sure sailors actually have food? That logistics? Nah, everyone knows you win wars with no strategy and no logistics. All ya need is testosterone. 🤣

AND CNN HELPED THEM GET TO THIS POINT BY LEGITIMIZING AND NORMALIZING THE KKKRISTOFASCISTS' ENTIRELY CONTRIVED AND MANUFACTURED POLITICIZED CULTURE WAR MORAL PANIC AGAINST TRANS PEOPLE. GO FUCK YOURSELVES. #BOYCOTTCNN

I corrected a Republican on this once. He was talking about the "Dept of Defense" I said "what? It's the War Department now" and just smiled. It was an oddly satisfying, because what could he say? It's his guys doing this

Pete Hegseth is a cosplay nitwit, & no one cares, everyone pretends nothing is happening. Trump lost the Iran War & everyone believes his lies that he controls the Strait of Hormuz. The MAGA true-believers are like a Jim Jones Cult. no one questions the mad king. Global depression is coming

Of all the shit this regime is perpetrating, can you imagine being such a bitter simpleton that you think DEI, trans, woke, etc...are your biggest problems? One of the biggest reasons we are where we are it is because of people who pride themselves on being small-minded.

He’s losing a war against Iran. He’s run out of missiles. He can’t feed his own sailors But sure, let’s talk about DEI and a tiny majority of people who constantly get punched down on.

I think it’s about time we gave the hatch act some actual teeth, and an enforcement mechanism that doesn’t rely solely on the administration in charge of the executive branch deciding whether to punish the president’s appointees. Idk what that looks though.

Just read, "Jesus and John Wayne" by Kristin Kobes Du Mez and it really helps you hear all the layers of nonsense in clips like this. #booksky #nonfictionsky #bskybookclub #jesusandjohnwayne #kristinkobesdumez

the Pentagon under Hegseth spent wildly $93.4 billion dollars just in the month of September in 2025. 1 month! What did they buy? Nothing to serve the people or the military defense. They bought themselves endless steaks, lobsters, shrimp, ice-cream machines, a baby grand piano

And we're expected to respect Hegseth? At all? We all know that he was hired to make sure that the war crimes happen on schedule, anyway. His opinions on anything - incl. trans people - are just so much toxic waste anyway.

Regarding his proclaimed expertise in the “warrior ethos” it’s worth doing a little dive on military officer Reddit- those familiar with his active duty assignment history recognize it as emblematic of a guy immediately identified by his COs as a dope and given jobs where he can’t get anyone hurt

A democracy doesn't need 'warriors'. Warriors see themselves as an entitled elite, above the cattle they call 'civilians'. A migration-era warband has warriors. A democracy has soldiers, who are citizens first and foremost, and only go to war at their nation's beck and call.

In March 2025, Hegseth ordered US Cyber Command to halt offensive operations against Russia, in an apparent effort to encourage Russian president Vladimir Putin to negotiate an end to the Russo-Ukrainian War. anyone got any explanation to why we lowered our defenses to try and calm a war criminal?

He is running for president 😁 Trump will endorse him. Rubio is Cuban, Vance has a brown wife & kids. Trump wants a white man that wears makeup and rapes, add in xenophobic and that's his guy. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Yep. the Pentagon under Hegseth spent wildly $93.4 billion dollars just in the month of September in 2025. 1 month! What did they buy? Nothing to serve the people or the military defense. They bought themselves endless steaks, lobsters, shrimp, ice-cream machines, a baby grand piano

Hegseth is like a damaged 14 year old boy raised by hateful day drinkers who allowed him to watch obscene war porn on a loud, endless loop.

I dunno you guys seem pretty interested in us - you're terrified of being embarrassed and upstaged by us in any way but we live rent free in your heads at all times
