    while giving a sermon at the Pentagon

    What the fuck? Why is this alcoholic giving sermons at the Pentagon?

      Unsurprisingly, alcoholics are great at making bad and morally unsound decisions

      Edit: since it looks like I’m probably being just a judgmental jerk.

      I’m booze free for three years now, I’ve made my share of bad and morally unsound decisions with the stuff, but the best one was putting it down. If there’s anyone out there who thinks they have a problem, I assure you it’s worth whatever it takes to give it up, it’s much nicer on the other side.

      Why is an unregistered paedo, reality TV star, confirmed rapist, racist, convicted felon, bankruptcy champion, russian stooge, blatant corrupt, pathological liar, massively narcissistic, dementia riddled mushy brained, pussy grabbing sexual assaulter allowed to be the us president (twice)?

      And why is the aforementioned ambling barrel of obese syphilis allowed to put these inexperienced idiots to be in such positions of power?

      Christ, allowing a tantrumming toddler to have all that power is ridiculous in itself. But then allowing a manbaby to just gut and replace such important jobs with insane sycophants is absolutely moronic!

          The typical American is desperate, struggling, frightened and beaten into apathy

          Unfortunately, they’re also incredibly poorly educated and ignorant.

          What they’re taught in school is a sanitised and propagandised version of the world, where America is always the hero

          When they are shown how civilised countries operate, the response is always “this is America, we don’t want that here, despite the fact that it’s demonstrably better for everyone in society”

            Makes me remember sailors from the soviet union, laughing their asses off because we explicitly drove all our cars in front of their boat in the harbour to make them believe like everyone in Sweden had a car.

            When it was just a normal day.

            Bet usanians can’t comprehend the freedom we have in europe either.

        He’s also just a fucking dickhead – nobody ever mentions that. And he’s the worst kind of person – an insufferable moron that thinks he’s a genius (maybe that fits with “massively narcissistic” but I think it’s different tho possibly related).

      https://people.com/jd-vance-heckled-says-pope-leo-should-be-careful-talking-theology-amid-donald-trump-conflict-11950188

      While speaking at the event on Tuesday, April 14, Vance, 41, who converted to Catholicism as an adult, insisted that the first American pope should “be careful when he talks about matters of theology.”

      I don’t feel like the current cabinet would be strongly-positioned for a theological dispute with the Pope.

    “The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men,” Hegseth prayed.

    "Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherd the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children.

    “And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother. And you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee, and amen.”

    It’s already bad enough that they have sermons in government buildings, but then it’s with this kind of content?

        Apparently he was reading a prayer related to the mission to extract the downed F15 pilots… No idea how any of this makes sense.

        Hegseth mentioned he was told the prayer is titled “CSAR 2517,” which stands for “Combat Search And Rescue” and alludes to the fact that it borrows some wording from Ezekiel 25:17

        Source for that is here

              That assigns too much agency to the LLM. They can’t be conscious. They’re only useful for producing langauge which appears intelligent.

      And he basically replaced the parts that were supposed to be god referring to godself, with himself referring to himself.

      He’s trying to elevate himself to the position of god, in very cringy fashion.

      Overall, just very delusional and megalomaniacal, in addition to blasphemous…

    I know he’s stupid and a drunk, but I don’t believe for a moment he thought there was a biblical verse about aviators. They were obviously repurposing the Pulp Fiction quote for this particular pilot and his unit.

      Right. That matches his persona perfectly.

      I bet when he was around black people in social settings as a younger person he brought up Samuel Jackson to relate.

        It’s crazy how weak you look when you do things that you think will make you look badass. Like elon in a leather jacket trying to smoke a cigar. Can’t find weaker charisma ever.

      I think the issue was mixing in non-bible material, without disclosing it, during a sermon.

        He should not be holding a sermon in the first place. That is the main issue. It is rather inconsequential if the goobledegook he says differs from regular sermon goobledegook.

          I agree.

          That is the main issue.

          I guess?

          It is rather inconsequential if the goobledegook he says differs from regular sermon goobledegook.

          No, I don’t think so. It matters whether he is sincere or just a grifter.
