The caucasity of Hegseth is something to behold. Mediocre in most ways, morally bankrupt and preening like a teenage prom queen.

All of King Con’s picks look look a deer caught in the headlights. There is something off in their eyes not to mention their brains and hearts.

Wearing “The Flag” and wearing something that looks like the flag are 2 entirely different thing.

Belt buckles are meant to discarded, eh? That this kind of lazy hit piece crap is the best America-hating leftists can come up with try to score points for the Antifa home team is an indication of how very out of touch the left is with average (non-America hating) Americans.

We're going with his belt buckle violates flag code? We are cooked.

That’s the moderate liberal plan to fight fascism, with a pen and paper….

Wait, he was meant to be discarded?
Did we end up with a Temu SecDef?
Whoa!

Oh, we got him now.

Time to unfollow NYT. They’re just as complicit as the rest

This is insane. You think they care about “codes”

It'll be interesting to see if athletes at our military academies are held to the same academic standards as other applicants.

Hegseth has his nose so far up Trump's butt that is surprising that he can breathe.

When I was a child, jeans made with US flag images/materials were very popular. All the kids had them. Except me. My father, a retired career soldier, refused to allow me to have a pair. He said it disrespected the flag and the country.

Stupid is as stupid does. People don’t just quit drinking when they have a problem. Someone should demand a daily breathalyzer from him.,

yesvaknovak.bsky.social•56 days ago

doesn't he like to wear a flag pocket square which implies it's a hankie to blow one's nose on?

wingspun.bsky.social•56 days ago

These people who spout off about being real Americans but then abuse the US flag are soooo annoying. Get it right or sit down, man.

crisygirl.bsky.social•56 days ago

You sound like a Pharisee. I’m not a trumper nor do I think Mr H has what it takes but damn… complain about something that matters.

Laws, rules and regulations do not apply to Trump and sycophants.

Diversity is code speak for White Christian Nationalism. Desire for segregation for female subjugation all from the mind of a drunk sexual predator with a like criminal boss

Hegseth turns out to be as moronic, soulless and clueless as we expected. China is licking its chops.

eddiedolan.bsky.social•56 days ago

Honestly, at this point, your president can openly be paid via crypto and they just canned science and education. A flag code violation on a belt doesn't even register. Hegseth himself is a walking atrocity.

thecocogal.bsky.social•55 days ago

While I applaud your efforts in pointing this out, this particular US Flag code has been trampled on for decades, and honestly is the least offensive thing about Hegseth.

halfhungarchie.bsky.social•56 days ago

My fellow Americans please excuse Hegseth, he was a DEI hire to fill the Retard Quota.

barbaracheng.bsky.social•55 days ago

Well I guess Hegseth needs to blather about something because god knows he doesn’t know much about the military
