Pete Hegseth is the country’s most unqualified, unfit secretary of defense in history. He can’t even do his job without the help of his even less qualified mommywife. But he strutted like a tinpot dictator boasting about how tough he has made the military.

“It’s worth saying again so that the fake news understands it,” Hegseth sneered. “We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that. No fanny, no fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals, just warriors, just tough, ready, committed troops.”

Guys like Hegseth always equate tough with insults.

Besides saying nothing about substance abuse, the defense secretary with a known drinking problem also said nothing about competence, integrity or honesty. Hegseth’s got an obvious problem with those, too. He “accidentally” bombed an elementary school, didn’t notice that a reporter was on what should have been a secret call about a military strike in Yemen, has likely committed war crimes, purged the military of its most senior leaders, covered up troop deaths and a destroyed resupply base and overstretched the deployment of troops on the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln so long and so badly that eight of them tried to commit suicide.

Hegseth is so bad at his job that he may be impeached soon. No president who cares about U.S. national security would ever have nominated him and no Senators who care about it would ever have confirmed him. We can only hope that for the safety of everyone, he'll be gone before long.

Hegseth: "It's worth saying again so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that -- no fatties no trannies no beardos no weirdos no wimps no radicals. Just warriors."
