Just like everything with this admin, saying the quiet part out loud about the military with or without the testosterone. Talk to anyone who lives around bases, sexual assaults all over, rarely any prosecutions.

Anytime friends or family go to Destin or around the Florida Panhandle, I always have to have a very serious and frank talk with them. I tell them to watch themselves, their families, and their drinks, regardless of gender or age. Be careful out there y'all in proximity to these bases.

umm, yeah. On two different occasions my daughter's and their circle of friends have rescued girls that have been drugged from inside of Wild Greg's in P'cola before they closed that shithole down.

The prosecutors offices in those places just turn a blind eye.

The old world is dying and the new world is struggling to be born. Now is the time for monsters.

Hard to think of a less helpful message to send than "the members of our military are rapists and we support them in that".

The US is about to try to invade Canada, Cuba, Greenland, and Iran, while best buddy Israel takes on Turkey, Lebanon, and Syria.

Usually it's the defenders who need to tell people that the invaders are coming to rape their wives and children. In this case, it's the official propaganda channel of the US government!

Unbelievable.

Well yeah, they are gonna need to recruit rapists

Being absolutely horrible is a point of pride for Republicans.

Never seen a more pompous psicopath son of a bitch in my life on TV.

I’d love to see this fascist parrot strung up

Often I feel like short comments like these are pointless. Here I find it perfectly on point. There is nothing more to be said, and nothing less...

Here's a quote from Watters the ignorant, evil shit from a broadcast on fox:

“What we need to do is either leave the U.N. or we need to bomb it. It is in New York, though, right? Could be some fallout there. Maybe gas it?”

At the risk of appearance shaming, this guy's face has always angered me. It's like his facial features evolved to most effectively express smugness

you're not body/appearance shaming him, your shaming his smug pompous expression which he uses to tell the most horrendous things with pride.

This is one of the guys who slurped up some of the vacuum left by Tucker on Fox News. Just another back bencher ready to repeat the same 14 words over and over again.

It’s always projection. Kegseth can’t even do a pull-up. Makes me wonder if he got checked after that embarrassing video went viral. Guess what affects testosterone? Heavy drinking. Go fucking figure.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I kinda think he just wants to sell steroids to the military lol

[–] sleepmode@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

wouldn’t shock me if this was tied to some sort of grift. Just waiting for that news.

Screwing up their endocrine systems is a good way to avoid paying them pensions.

Lol Jesse waters needs to watch out, someone might go on the internet and say someone with a similarly spelled name, he's mentally incompetent and being abused

Increased testosterone is correlated with higher aggression and increased sexual desire. So he isn't wrong in warning if the DOD increases the average T level of military personnel, higher sexual aggression may result.

[–] Sandouq_Dyatha@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

being a fucking piece of trash human being who doesn't care about boundaries and consent and doesn't see other human as people correlates with being a rapist, not hormones

[–] minorkeys@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 days ago

You'd prefer to think that, but hormones affect the ability to care about boundaries and consent.
