A Sober [Hic!] Assessment Of Pete Hegseth’s First (Last?) Year As Defense Secretary
WARFIGHTER! WARFIGHTER! WARFIGHTER!
It’s abundantly clear at this point that history will record Pete “Secretary Shitfaced” Hegseth the most laughably out-of-his-league Defense secretary in American history, and most likely also of any other country that’s ever existed.
He was unqualified when Donald Trump saw him on Fox & Friends Weekend and popped a geriatric stiffy, he was unqualified when he lied his way through his confirmation hearing, when he (maybe) lied to Megyn Kelly and promised that PRETTY PLEASE IF YOU JUST LET ME BE THE BOSS OF THE PENTAGON I WILL NEVER GET BLACKOUT DRUNK, NO NEVER [HIC] AGAIN!
He was an absolute joke when he started (maybe) drunk-texting war plans over Signal, and he’s an absolute fucking joke now as he’s prematurely ejaculating his loser whiskey dick all over boats full of random innocents in the Caribbean and Pacific.
We see it in how embarrassing it is every time he tries to talk foreign policy on the public stage, in his pathetic, insecure, basic bitch white supremacy, his pathetic, insecure, basic bitch misogyny, his pathetic, insecure, basic bitch homophobia and transphobia. We see it in the way he called all the generals back from all over the world — AKA all these people who outrank him — so he could talk to them about HAIRSTYLES … just … good fucking Christ. His preening, my God.
Oh yeah, and then there are the pullups.
And the credible rape allegations, let’s not forget about those.
Nobody has ever said “Well done, my good and faithful servant” to this loser, and no one ever will.
And at the end of 2025, what we want the record to reflect is that everything that’s happening now, we knew, and Tammy Duckworth knew, and current and former Pentagon staffers and generals knew. Everybody knew this shitfaced, Christian Nationalist little bitch who didn’t have a whole lot of Big Boy Military Experience, who had never managed any group bigger than an Applebees (as Duckworth memorably said), whose “expertise” pretty much begins and ends with the military’s shaving regulations, who had been credibly accused of rape and paid the woman off to make her go away, everybody knew he wasn’t up for this job.
Remarkably, he’s managed to be even more disappointing on the job, which is something he’s probably heard from more than one person in authority over him over the course of his life.
What has this looked like throughout 2025? These headlines pretty much tell the story.
