Hey, btw this guys pastor doesn’t think women should have the right to vote. The military has been actively purging women.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 3 points 5 hours ago

But he can see Jesus?

"I can't see germs so they aren't real" sounds like the kind of meaningless strawman "got 'em!" argument he might make against atheism or whatever. It would be stupid then, too.

But no, he of course did the more sincere, more stupider straightforward version of that statement.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 6 hours ago

He spills enough alcohol on his hands that it kills the germs.

[–] _lilith@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

You can see certain bacteria with the naked eye though. Don't even need the witch glass in a microscope

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Mark my words. If you're in the United States, modern medicine will become increasingly difficult to obtain, and that which is available will be out of date.

[–] DrunkAnRoot@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

sad that i cant tell of this is true

Good old Pete goes around with penis fingers, just like a real man.

Wearing plastic covers in the shower? Or no showers too? Bathing is overrated, or what?

How does he handle oxygen?

If you can blindfold him, you can do whatever you want to him.

[–] Hackbraten@lemmy.zip 2 points 14 hours ago

I can't See him in RL so he is not real.

Drink up, Pete! You can't see cirrhosis either!

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is this the Onion?

I mean, I wouldn't doubt it's real, but it surely sounds like a joke.

[–] fahfahfahfah@lemmy.billiam.net 35 points 1 day ago (2 children)
[–] khannie@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Cheers.

The context of Hegseth's remark and the reactions of his co-hosts indicate he was joking.

Important context in there.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago
[–] marcos@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Lol! The US government is a bad joke...

[–] Phantaloons@piefed.zip 2 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, we're all crying, no one's laughing.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The bad joke is that we let them dumb down the people here for so long that they elected a pedophile for a second term after he set out to revenge his fallen partner he had killed to prevent him squealing

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 8 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

No, but it's just news-cycle stirrup by the trump administration (IMO).

What about talking about what they are doing not what they are saying (that they ate doing)?

[–] BurnedDonutHole@ani.social 4 points 19 hours ago
[–] karokugel@feddit.org 10 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Every time that shitshow gets dumber I am less surprised.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 12 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (3 children)

So, did kegsbreath actually say that?

Edit: just read through the comments on here and, yes, he did say it. Fucks sake.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 5 hours ago

We all know his history and how ridiculous it is that he has the job he has, etc.

But to read an article from a handful of years ago talking about him as the random worthless propaganda TV host he was at the time.. it somehow still stings.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

dammit i didn't want to start day drinking at 9 am on a monday but here we are

[–] karokugel@feddit.org 3 points 20 hours ago

Satire is dead, isn't it?

[–] DaMonsterKnees@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wait, I remember this headline, but is this from the same clown or is this just funny?

[–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 49 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I wondered too. Holy sweet illiterate baby Jesus... it's real

Fox News host Pete Hegseth has said on air that he has not washed his hands for 10 years because "germs are not a real thing".

Speaking on Fox and Friends, Hegseth said the infectious micro-organisms did not exist because they could not be seen with the naked eye.

"I inoculate myself," added the Harvard and Princeton graduate.

His remarks came after co-hosts Ed Henry and Jedediah Bila made fun of him for eating left-over pizza.

"My 2019 resolution is to say things on air that I say off air," Hegseth added.

[–] fta@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Jfc.

Fuck that guy. Seriously.

But we should read the fucking article if we’re going to quote it.

Next sent sentence:

Mr Hegseth later told USA Today that his remarks were intended to be a joke.

Maybe he was covering his ass, maybe it was a joke. But this is like the last thing on an incredibly long list of things to try and go after for.

[–] Mountainaire@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

Pretty sure it's the former...

[–] Tiral@lemmy.zip 6 points 21 hours ago

On that note, I'm looking for volunteers to scale the great ice wall with me. We will prove the earth is flat and the governments have been lying to us (for no reason). /s

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 21 hours ago

Soooo much hpv

[–] jupyter_rain@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Read this in a tired state of mind and wondered why Hegseth would deny the existence of germans. But I guess there are less germans than germs, so it would be more plausible to do this, than to deny germs.

I should go back to bed.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can't, am not even in bed now :(

[–] EyIchFragDochNur@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Can't see any sanity in him

[–] BandanaBug@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But he can see Jesus?

Well he will if he keeps this up

[–] jobbies@lemmy.zip 2 points 23 hours ago

Pfft you think if heaven existed Hegseth would get in?

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 4 points 23 hours ago

You can imagine the queues of smart people waiting in line to copy his homework when he was at school.

[–] Fontasia@feddit.nl 3 points 1 day ago

Keep feeling Pete, I'm sure the bullet is on the right hand side...
