to boss around the people he has deemed "suckers and losers."

So shitty what the republicans are doing to America's honorable Armed Services.

Not a video person, but I love the choice.

However it was done.

I search often for images to hack, and quite a few real goodies come from the youtube static pix.

YouTube gives you a choice as to what to put as a thumbnail. It can be a frame you capture from the video. Or you can let YouTube select a random frame from the video. Or let AI create a thumbnail for you.

On my videos, I usually select an interesting frame from the video, add a title on it using a Photoshop-like program, and then upload it when I upload the video itself.

Hegseth will be awarded a medal for his purple balls and skateboards will be banned as a threat to the country. Imagine running The Pentagon with those mad skills. I guess we should be glad to have such inept figures throughout the Trump regime--unless one of them pushes the wrong button and we all die.

- I'm surprised he felt anything, considering he has no balls.

- He recovered quickly, they must be REALLY small.

Whacking his nads was certainly not the trick he was aiming for.

Then again, he's been dressing like an bargain action figure for awhile now.

Used to do what he tried to do?

Anyhow, it doesn't matter. The manufacturer will be thoroughly investigated to find out if Antifa designed it to hurt the war secretary

He has a job that takes full focus and a full day to do. It’s not like he’s secretary of transportation or something else, this is the safety of our country. And he’s messing around with a skateboard on TV. What a doofus.
