Pete Hegseth: "This background noise is perfect. It's the sound of ingrates, of ingratitude, of people who are so blinded by ideology they can't see law and order and common sense in front of them."

I don’t know, probably because they are basically at war against the people who live here. This has been an occupied city for almost a year now.

12. Add in Todd Blanche and National Guard

The orange menace HAS to gave his boot-lickers with him all the time. Look at his Oval Office press events with all his stooges standing behind him.

Don’t they have day-jobs???

[aeromanKC]

5. Fuck you Kegsbreath!!

[sakabatou]

6. We already know that Kegsbreath has a fragile ego

[llmart]

9. Kegsbreath has an exaggerated sense of self-importance.

[SeattleVet]

13. Delusions of adequacy.

[FakeNoose]

24. He'll feel better as soon as he gets another Nazi tattoo

[Harker]

7. He was hoping to be met with booze.

[Ray Bruns]

8. Hey Pete, that's the sound of the people exercising their first amendment rights.

You know, that thing those soldiers are sworn to protect and defend.

[surfered]

10. We're supposed to be thankful for Trump and Hegseth getting us into an $80 billion war they cannot win and cannot end?

And they spent $125 million changing the name of The Department of Defense to The Department of War.

How much more to change the name to The Department of Incompetence?

[Hassler]

11. Maybe there is a real journalist out there to ask Whiskey Pete

How many days since your last drink? You know, the thing he vowed to quit doing if he was approved to be SOW.

[3825-87867]

16. Glorioski! He is a

SOW!

[3825-87867]

14. Law and Order, eh Hegseth?

[twodogsbarking]

15. He intends to celebrate the fourth with a fifth on the third.

[Justice matters.]

17. Projection... "law and order" which law permits blowing up

boats in international waters without due process (i.g. evidence provided), punk?

[AverageOldGuy]

18. At least it was only booing

Unlike ICE, no one was killed, no one was beaten senseless, no one was pepper-sprayed.

[chowder66]

20. Jesus. The projection with these goons never ends.

[Harker]

22. Thanks for all the death and destruction!

Thanks for all the fear and uncertainty!

Thanks for wrecking the trust and good will of our friends, neighbors, and allies!

How's that for a start?

[tonekat]

23. You'll be gone soon Hegseth

So STFU!

[vapor2]

25. Here's my reply to kegsbreath..............WAR CRIMES

[oasis]

26. Pete'll be done in DC after '28. Then, the "dustbin".

[LetMyPeopleVote]

27. What has Hegseth done to cause anyone to be grateful to him?

Hegseth is an incompetent idiot who has been hurting our military. Why should anyone be grateful to him???

[Karasu]

28. "Ingratitude" suggests these fascists are doing something--anything--to be grateful for. Get fucked, Kegsbreath.
