QUOTES: Pete Hegseth, U.S. "Secretary of War"*

 

IN HIS IRAN WAR UPDATE during a March 24 White House press conference, Pete Hegseth, the self-styled “Secretary of War”*, in another of his speechifying fever dreams, proffered this boner:  
 
”We negotiate with bombs.”
 
 
 When will these people learn to shut-up?
 
 CHEERS, 
JAKE.πŸ˜‚ ________________________________________________
 
* As I understand it, the title “Secretary of War” and renaming the Department of Defence as the “Department of War” do not have legal standing. Any change to Cabinet and department titles must be voted on in the American legislature. This was not done. But puffed-up peacocks like Hegseth can’t be bothered by a little thing like the American Constitution. I think Hegseth would make a fetching entrance before the cameras dressed as Darth Vader. "Darth Pete". It has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?πŸ’€
 
FUN FACT: In 2018 Hegseth’s mother, Penelope, sent him an email that said: ‘You are an abuser of women – that is the ugly truth, and 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 years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.’” (Guardian)
πŸ‘‰Me thinks the dear boy has some mommy issues to work through. Perhaps he should return to being a Fox News weekend newscaster. We'd all be the better for it if that happens.πŸ˜†
