This is what his own mother, Penny Hegseth, said about him in an e-mail back in 2018:-
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).
You simply cannot imagine Ken's mother writing a similar e-mail about him.
Not only does GI Joe Hegseth delight in using hyperbolic tough guy language that he has no doubt picked from all the war films he has whooped and salivated about, he also mangles English.
The other day, I noticed him using "truth" as a verb as he referred to his lord and master's pronouncements on the propaganda social media site that was ironically titled Truth Social when it was petulantly established. Hegseth said that Emperor Trump had "truthed" this and also "truthed" that Not the familiar "tweeted" that we had all got used to via Twitter but "truthed"! I ask you.
It is a further irony that the bloated and increasingly demented old man in The White House rarely promotes or speaks the truth. He manipulates it and abuses it to his own narcissistic ends. When others speak inconvenient truths, his instinct is to shut them down or insult them. A more appropriate name for Truth Social would be "Loada Bollocks Social". After all what could be more disingenuous than posting an image of yourself as a modern day Jesus Christ - oh sorry, I meant a doctor!
At this point if he were indeed impeached AND removed from office, as much as I'd like to see him in prison for his crimes, it would be fine with me if he was only confined to one of his shitty golf motels, as Jeff Tiedrich calls them to spend out the rest of his demented, rotting life, all the rats having fled the ship, alone and confused, wondering where they all went.
ReplyDeleteHegseth is the walking embodiment of toxic masculinity.
ReplyDeleteShortly after DUI Pete's mother's email came to light, she basically recanted that tale though no one believed her.
ReplyDeleteThe word "hubris" comes to mind ... (One of various AI definitions: "Hubris is an ancient Greek concept that denotes excessive pride and an inflated sense of self-worth, often leading individuals to believe they are equal to the gods. This character flaw is marked by a conviction that one can manipulate destiny or rise above the constraints of human limitations.") ....
ReplyDeleteYou just couldn’t make it up, could you? I have run out of things to say about Trump. The way his supporters twist themselves in rationalizing what he is doing.
