"pranced around on the flight deck" declaring Mission Accomplished.

the "dry" drunk. I forgot about that.

He had the look and behavior of a long time alcoholic.
There was even a video of him attending a sporting event and falling down the stairs.
And we saw video of him not even able to figure out how to exit a room.

WTF

They don't play soldiers or have a military ethos for a reason.

We are not ruled by military junta.

AND WHILE I'M AT IT, FUCK EVERYONE WHO EVER FUCKING VOTED FOR DONALD FUCKING TRUMP, FUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU

I can only add:
Sideways, with multiple cacti.

He is awesome!

Can you post it on here or a link? Thanks

PETE HEGSETH
FULL METAL FRANKLIN
... Secretary Turns Cartoon Character Into a Killer

BY TMZ STAFF
Published December 1, 2025 8:55 AM PST

Watch out! The Department of War's latest target is all of our childhoods ... Pete Hegseth turned beloved children's book character Franklin the Turtle into a bloodthirsty killing machine in an A.I.-generated pic posted Sunday.

Pete captioned the post, "For your Christmas wish list..." along with a fake book cover titled, "Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists."

The bogus cover depicts the 6-year-old turtle from the animated series going "Full Metal Jacket" -- hanging out of a helicopter, happily firing a missile at a manned boat while wearing a U.S. military vest. No sign of Franklin's best friend, Bear ... maybe he's storming the Capitol.

If you go to twitter they are even selling T-shirts with the book cover.

they're brainwashing them at a early age to hate & kill.

Hegseth is the least qualified Sec Def in U.S. history. it's a disgrace to have him lead our military.

He'll probably get shitfaced. Oh, wait. Pretend Soldier does that anyway.

he is all about optics.

I never thought one could assemble such a collection of goofs, crackpots, and idiots at one time in history. He did it though. There literally isn't one single person in this godforsaken shithead regime who is even remotely sane/smart/normal.

There was no one left.

Attacking immune cells and reducing vaccines effectiveness.

Maybe it attacks brain cells as well?

Would make a great president, hope he runs ,he would be very formidable with the right campaign , he could fill that big tent faster than anyone I can think of, would probably clean house faster and more thorough than others also , if he were to get there

he's doubling and tripling down and showing no fear of him or Pedonald.

That's my Senator.

Always liked him but never saw his as presidential material until the past 2 years when he saw the need to really step up and defend this nation from enemies foreign & AND DOMESTIC. He is focused, determined, fearless and giving no quarter to the grifters and criminals in the current administration. Setting a good example of courage and defense of the Constitution.

Seems to be a damned good influence on Gallego too. Ruban dropped the 'deer in the headlights' expression he had for a few months when he first joined the Senate. We are seeing the Marine inside come running into action now, and not putting up with fools.

and they're both my Senators of the Great State of Arizona.

Never, ever mess with a Marine or Navy.

agrees with ya.

We just bought an apartment in Panama and I had never learned about the segregation of the Zone until recently. I can only imagine what that was like!

Happy holidays to ya!

many call themselves 'Zonies' here

Happy Holidays back at ya! We do Yule around this house, but I love that so many cultures have such wonderful festivals this time of year.

Yet one more reason to admire Senator Kelly.

Hegseth condemned by publisher as children's book hero dragged into military controversy

The publisher behind the celebrated Franklin the Turtle series of children's books is now speaking out in protest after President Donald Trump's Secretary of Defense shared an image of the character shooting at drug boats.

…

Speaking to The Independent, Kids Can Press, the publisher of the Franklin the Turtle series, fired back at Trump's Pentagon chief.

“Franklin the Turtle is a beloved Canadian icon who has inspired generations of children and stands for kindness, empathy, and inclusivity,” they said through a spokesperson. “We strongly condemn any denigrating, violent, or unauthorized use of Franklin’s name or image, which directly contradicts these values.”

Meanwhile, noted The Independent, users fired back on X, posting their own AI-generated images of books with titles like Franklin Goes to The Hague, Franklin On Trial at the ICC, and Franklin Goes to Jail.

I’d love to see his OERs.

Kegseth is a fucking nightmare. Everything about this guy's life is HUGE red flag.
