As a lady person who does not shave her face but does her legs, I have noticed that the use of soap, shaving cream or other personal care products of that type assist in preventing the area being shaved from becoming irritated. I presume that is also true of the facial area.

Soap, shaving cream, etc. which are apparently not available on multiple US Navy vessels at this time. Which may make complying with the drunkards demands difficult.

As I understand it, the people who have the biggest problem (and who Hegseth wants out for racist reasons but won't say so) have issues regardless of hygiene.

"Hairstylists and experts in men’s hair replacement systems told us they believe Trump’s fuller, refreshed hairstyle is likely all real.“From what I’ve seen and after 22 years in the industry, I don’t believe President Trump is wearing a wig or hairpiece,” said Dina Kales, a hair loss specialist and owner of The Top Shoppe in New York City.

What people may be noticing instead is the contrast between gray roots and hair that has been colored to an ash blonde, Kales said. “As the gray grows in, the lack of pigment in the roots can cause the hair to look thinning or patchy,” she explained. “So when it’s freshly dyed, the contrast is greater and thus looks fuller, which would explain some of the changes we observe with the president’s overall look.”

Andrew Disimone, a wig specialist at Hair Place NYC, didn’t notice any hairpieces in the videos he saw, either. “Instead, I think it’s what we call in the industry a cotton candy combover,” he said. “This is where you take the hair and grow it as long as you can so that you can spray and comb it into place.”

Wig specialist Sherry Schaefer said that if it truly were a hairpiece, she’d hope that the president could afford a piece better than that."

If a sailor aboard the USS Lincoln has no access to shaving cream (as well as soap, toothpaste and other personal-care items that are reportedly running out due to an overextended deployment), does he get a "facial hair waiver"?

And why do I get the feeling that there are more than a few sailors who have something they would like to wave at Hegseth?

I had a friend in college who was Black and in ROTC and really wanted to be a pilot so diligently shaved too close and the result looked really painful. I think of him every time I see pendejito. War Secretary shitfaced is a small, ingrown pubic hair; the kind that get infected and fester.

So had a pain in the ass customer the last few days, over business cards no less... and found out this micromanaging control freak is running for mayor.

You know who I'm NOT voting for and talking all the shit about?

Yeah that guy gave me one of his cards;

That asshole you just met.

Sounds like American Psycho meets Parks and Recreation. I’ll have the pitch ready by the time I land.

Have you seen the preview for the movie One Night Only? It looks AWFUL but has finally opened so I won't have to see it anymore. I'll probably go see Super Troopers 3. Haven't seen the first two but YOLO.

Gotta wash my hair tonight which is a chore.

I would suggest Super Troopers the original. You can find out anywhere online, see how you like it. I found it entertaining in the juvenile summer hit comedy kinda way. Would never pay to see it. Sort of like Police Academy.

EDIT: If you really want to test your sensibilities, find "Shakes The Clown"!

MRK's avatar

The first Super Troopers is worth the time. I can't recall if I saw the second, so I'm not sure if it was OK or not.

Kid 'n Nipple-Play's avatar

The second was one of the worst movies I'd seen in quite a while.

VaselineHabits's avatar

I vaguely recall the first one and yes, I'm sure I watched stoned.

Our_Man_In_Redneckistan's avatar

Yeah, it’s Heinlein distilled for the masses. Underappreciated social satire.

MRK's avatar

Not Starship Troopers. Super Troopers is a comedy about Vermont State Police officers who are also idiots. (That may be redundant.)

Kid 'n Nipple-Play's avatar

According to The Guardian, Super Troopers 3 succeeds in being even worse than Super Troopers 2. But yes, I will still watch it.

Diane's Less Hostile Username's avatar

Hmm, might need to watch that tonight.

Kid 'n Nipple-Play's avatar

The first one was fun. Brian Cox's character was great.

I'm just so very tired of arguing with lying weasels that wouldn't know good faith if it bit them in the ass.

"Let's honestly discuss the pros and cons of renewable energy."

"WINDMILLS CAUSE CANCER!  SOLAR DOESN'T WORK AT NIGHT!"

"Let's honestly discuss education for our kids."

"YOU WANT TRANSGENDER SOCIALISM FOR EVERYBODY!"

"Let's honestly talk about supporting what Israel is doing in Gaza."

"YOU'RE ALL SECRET MUSLIMS!  YOU WANT SHARIA LAW!"

"Let's create a workable immigration policy."

"YOU WANT OPEN BORDERS SO FOREIGN RAPISTS CAN RAVAGE OUR WIMMINFOLK!"

And, of course, because they only travel in rightwing circles and speak to friendly reporters, they never face a difficult follow-up question when they say these utterly incompetent things. We can't have necessary conversations about important issues because they derail the conversation with ridiculous hyperbole every time. We're living in 2 entirely different worlds at this point and I don't know how we ever reconcile them.

You know what is fun though?

Ask them to explain what CRT is.

"Nearly a year after voting advocates launched a campaign to prevent a pro-GOP gerrymander from taking effect in Missouri, Secretary of State Denny Hoskins (R) officially blocked the citizen-initiated referendum on the new congressional map from appearing on the ballot in November.

[...]

“The Missouri Constitution cannot be interpreted to strip away the General Assembly of its authority over redistricting absent a clear statement,” Hoskins said. “For those reasons, I do rule the referendum insufficient because it is unconstitutional.” https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/missouri-blocks-anti-gerrymander-referendum-from-november-ballot-in-attempt-to-silence-voters/

* A RINO Right wingnut has the balls to prevent the ballot initiative for being invalid according to the MO Constitution but apparently has no problems when the Fulvous Fuckwad and the national RINOs violate the US Constitution on a daily basis.

* The initiative had the requisite number of signatures, but that doesn't mean shit to Hoskins.

* If I'm not mistaken, the powers of the legislators derives from a vote of the people, so the people do have a say.

* Beyond that, Hoskins has twisted the state Constitution to fit his tribe's needs and is not following the law:

> "Unlike in the other GOP-controlled states that redrew electoral maps, Missouri voters had a uniquely powerful tool to fight back: The state constitution gave them the right to put a referendum on the ballot and veto unpopular state legislation." ibid

* BTW, the asshole waited until the last possible moment to make his decision to deny the power of the People:

> "rejecting the referendum as unconstitutional after delaying his final decision until the legal deadline, all in an effort to thwart voters" ibid

-----

The ICEholes, CBPissants, the current regime, and the Antichrist-in-Chief all have a warm spot in their hearts for unaccompanied immigrant children... not:

> "Inside an immigration court in lower Manhattan, the faces of migrant children – some as young as three – have been beamed on to a video screen throughout the summer as they faced deportation hearings. ...

Detained in nearby shelters for unaccompanied minors in New York, the vast majority did not have lawyers as they appeared before the court.

Internal federal regulations have long barred deportation proceedings from moving ahead when children don’t have legal representation, and federal law requires the government to make every effort to fund those attorneys or assure pro bono counsel." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/31/unaccompanied-children-manhattan-immigration-court

What kind of dipshit would allow this in their court?

> "Judge Lisa W Ling, a former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) prosecutor appointed to the court by Donald Trump [sic] in 2018 during his first term as US president" ibid

What a surprise! A former ICEhole prosecutor turned immigration court judge has no problems abusing the law to export as many brown skinned people as she can, even those as young as three. May I politely suggest the bitch should go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut; recorded for our viewing pleasure.

Nah, prosecution.

That job gets no constitutional immunity.
