Yes it's a real quote but he was joking. We could do with less disinformation.

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

Wanna buy a bridge in New York? I'll give you a good deal.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (3 children)

So he goes to take a shit and wipes his ass but doesn't wash his hands afterwards? What a disgusting piece of shit.

[–] cowfodder@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

I wouldn't be surprised if he's one of those "wiping or washing your butthole is gay" morons.

[–] pageflight@piefed.social 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can't see his brain, either.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Must not exist then.

[–] DreadPirateSnuggles@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Do you really think he wipes? A man touching his butt? He's so repressed he would probably nut on his face.

[–] ponypuncher@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Already lost one president because of this belief so fingers crossed?

Andrew Garfield.

I don’t care about this. Release the Epstein files and get tf out of this war of choice and distraction.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

trump brings out RFK jr form time to time for a distraction when he needs it, after which he disappears from the news for months until needed again. petey is used to prolong that distraction with wars, and illegal strikes.

[–] AmmenDegen@pawb.social 10 points 2 months ago (3 children)

The "I can't see them" argument getting used in 2026 needs to just be trolling at this point.

Microscopes that can see cells and bigger bacteria are so accessible- haven't a ton of people seen amoebas on microscopes in high school at this point? Either the education system has failed all of us or knowing anything is woke at this point.

Ugh, all the shit these idiots peddle and the anti-germ ones get me the most.

[–] cheat700000007@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Ironic for the religious crowd

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

and thier are viruses that infect amoebas that are so large they can be seen with a decent microscope, and not an electron microscope because most viruses tend to be smaller than certain wavelength of light.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

If they don’t believe in microscopic shit, what do they think is making the frogs gay? Like some big gay ray, that shoots gay lasers?

As a side note, I used to know a guy named Big Gay Ray.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is he really that dumb?

Never mind… yeah he probably is.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago

alcohol does shrink the brain, or damages your brain overtime, its also does something similar to someone having a stroke but not as drastic.

I was scrolling by, and being tired, I misread the text in the thumbnail image as 'Germans are not real' and thought this was a shitpost for a second.

But then I see the actual headline is even crazier because it's not a shitpost.

[–] austinfloyd@ttrpg.network 4 points 2 months ago

He never washed his hands. There is definitely shit in this post.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago

he washes it with hard liquor.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Glad I wasn’t the only one.

[–] Get_Off_My_WLAN@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You know, I haven't been to Germany yet, so I can't confirm it exists, so it's possible the "Germans" I've met so far are actually all in on a big joke with their made-up language, accent, and precision engineering.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

Now I will have to eliminate you, as you're too close to our secret. We've managed to avoid the uncovering of the Bielefeld conspiracy, so we will surely manage this little spillage.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Checkmate, theists.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can only imagine that this plus the president decomposing into his trousers every few hours, must have the whole white house smelling of pure shit

Is the reason he can't get his ballroom finished because all the contractors keep getting norovirus?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

I want to say you mean defecating. But somehow decomposing works too?

Real christian values with this one too ;)

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

quaverful christians.

[–] nothingcorporate@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes he can see Jesus, but only the white one.

Well, there's Republican Jesus: https://i.imgflip.com/6d1nho.jpg
Then there's Korean Jesus: https://youtu.be/hhtOGkUqVTU?t=14
And Buddy Christ: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=buddy+christ&iar=images

So there's at least 3

To be fair to Kegbreath, the "I can't see it so it must not exist" comes from overhearing his wife talking about his penis to her girlfriends.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

with alcohol you would be able to see things that are not there, hes probably cant tell between what he sees with booze vision over IRL.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago

only when hes drunk.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I wish I couldn't see him.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Confirmed, God isn’t real because Pete Hegseth can’t see her.

Not that I believe in god anyway.
