Out of the whole sordid menagerie of despicable individuals who Drumpf has dragged into his criminal regime and appointed to high positions, there is one person whose eventual downfall, which will occur at some point undoubtedly, will be more entertaining and satisfying to witness than any of Drumpf's other ethically-challenged capos.
Link: Pete Hegseth Rails Against 'Sick' Media in Stunning Speech
"Pete Hegseth used a chunk of his speech to the troops on Wednesday to go on a blistering verbal assault against the press.
The defense secretary damned the mainstream media for being littered with anti-American “haters” who peddle “fake news” about the military, like recent reports about dwindling munitions due to the Iran war.
Hegseth — while delivering his State of the Force address at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia — said reporters chase negative stories because they are addicted to seeing their headlines plastered across cable news. He also claimed most journalists crave dirt because they loathe President Donald Trump more than they love the country — a blinding hatred he said puts America’s soldiers in danger.
“Our so-called press makes Iranian state media look reasonable,” Hegseth said. “Our media’s shameful lust for political retribution blinds them to the consequences of reckless, so-called reporting. So-called journalists, juiced up on Trump Derangement Syndrome, think fighting against our president, but they’re really undermining you.”
He went on, suggesting mainstream reporters are acting as a not-so-stealth wing of the Democratic Party."
Yep - you guessed it. That person is Pete Hegseth.
It is utterly fucking indefensible, not to mention un-American for the American Secretary of Defense to get up in front of a captive audience of US soldiers who come from diverse walks of American life, religion, race, and even politics, and give an overtly partisan and aggressive attack on the free press while defending Drumpf's lies and demagoguery.
The media has it's problems these days, no argument there - but those problems are principally related to their crooked ownership by MAGA-friendly, Drumpf-fellating billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Elmo MuskRat, Larry and David Ellison, and other unscrupulous, wealthy elites of their sordid right-wing ilk.
Kegseth is so fucking laughably out of his league as US Secretary of Defense that it literally stopped being funny after his second day on the job, and America is now seeing the proof of that observation with his Iran war dumbassery.
I've lost count of how many times Kegseth and Drumpf have publicly declared this war that they started against Iran won and the Strait of Hormuz fully open, only to find out they were, and still are, lying their assess off to the American public about nearly everything that is happening in this war. And if any additional supporting evidence that Pete is fucking up this war is needed, just go ask any American long-haul trucker how they feel about paying for Pete's war right now.
And the fact that Hegseth felt compelled to change the congressionally authorized (lawful) name of his cabinet title to 'Secretary of WAR' in lieu of Secretary of Defense strongly suggests that he is an insecure, immature, manifestly unqualified buffoon, and the whole fucking world knows it. The ONLY reason Pete Hegseth is in the position he is in today is because DonOld gets a kick out of hiring loudmouth, Fox "news" flunkies for his administration, regardless of their qualifications.
But even more than that, it's because Drumpf is a master at finding compromised individuals who he can pull into his criminal orbit and manipulate to perform his underhanded bidding.
And yes, I confidently call Hegseth 'compromised,' for if you recall, Ol' Pistol Pete has his own 'rape' problem in his past and Lord knows if we have seen any consistency with Drumpf, it's his penchant for bringing sleazy, 'rapey' guys just like himself into government and giving them influential, tax-payer funded jobs, providing of course that they are 100% loyal to the mob boss in the White House and his crooked agenda.
So yeah - when Pete Hegseth's time in the barrel comes, I am right there with my gallon tub of hot buttered popcorn and a Big Gulp! to enjoy the show right up to the final, rolling credits that signify 'THE END' of Ol' Pistol Pete's ignominious career in government and politics.
