A quick Google search appeared to indicate that this is false.

But yes, sadly quite believable.

Thanks! I genuinely would've bothered checking but I decided to make the point as I did partly to stimulate engagement & repost people.
Also it's quite weird how it's played out.
Various things go viral about them that aren't true we find all too easy to believe.
Then they go "Lyin Lefty Libturds!"🤷🏻‍♂️

It's easy to fall into the trap of believing something that appears convincing, but we have to strive to be better. When lies proliferate more than truth, it is the end of Democracy, and that is the crisis we face now.

horseshoepartyuk.bsky.social•67 days ago

Indeed we all need to be increasingly careful about not spreading things like this without even thinking about it.🤦🏻‍♂️
I've done it myself more than once including a few other blunders but I tend to own my shame and try to correct it.🤷🏻‍♂️
When huge accounts do it, very few will dare risk correcting them.🤷🏻‍♂️

@horseshoepartyuk.bsky.social I'm literally writing a paper about misinformation while dealing with misinformation from all sides...

horseshoepartyuk.bsky.social•66 days ago

People have had concerns about that account before...

defendersofourrepublic.org•67 days ago

That is an excellent point. We must strive to be brave, even in the small things, to stand for #Truth. Taking this as a personal action item.

So my question to humorously ask if he had been carried after can still hold as humour.

defendersofourrepublic.org•67 days ago

#WethePeople... do not get your joke. It went over our heads.

kevinsecular.bsky.social•67 days ago

I could have pointed out he is fidgety and took 6 sips in less than 50 seconds. No one drinks water to gain courage to speak. His character as exposed by his former job colleagues point out to he drinking while on the job and getting carried off after.

defendersofourrepublic.org•67 days ago

Alright, we understand now.
(1) Haha, we find this very funny.
(2) It is super awkward & smacks of incompetence
(3) People do in fact drink water to gain courage to speak. It is also an effective stalling tactic to organize thoughts.
(4) Hegseth is the type to be sipping Vodka, but still not proof.

kevinsecular.bsky.social•67 days ago

So, it's a 5O/50. Being human and doing the best we can we do the right thing and give the benefit of the doubt to him. And being human we can also see the mickey in a situation. No harm in laughing, thus the "was he carried out after" which we know did not happen.

defendersofourrepublic.org•67 days ago

(5) There's that history of being drunkenly carried off, conveniently dismissed by the #CorruptGOP.
(6) Still no idea why or how this clown was confirmed.
(7) Please, people, we must make this stop, why is this real.
(8) This is not where we wanted to be in 2025.
(9) Let's see how the week pans out.

I remember when these pics first came out- they said it was a truck of the light but it sure looked suspicious to me, especially the way he was drinking it. Didn’t seem like he was drinking water. (Not an expert, of course, but my dad is an alcoholic, has been all my life. I recognize some stuff)

johndaledalton.bsky.social•67 days ago

It looks like whisky. Dave Allen used to have fake whisky on stage I believe.

legendarybitka.bsky.social•67 days ago

*trick of the light, not truck

horseshoepartyuk.bsky.social•67 days ago

Much as I think opposition should focus on definite facts of which there are already plenty, that we'd even consider this possible of someone running the Pentagon, into the ground that is, sadly says a lot for where we're already at today.
This is already arguably the worst post-WW2 USA government.🤦🏻‍♂️

defendersofourrepublic.org•67 days ago

Arguably? Nothing to argue there.
