Pentagon sermon
If that doesn’t scare the shit out of you, it should
My thoughts exactly…
There should be no place for religion in politics. Keep that diseased shit to yourself.
Chefs kiss.
“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?
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…
Downed aviator?!
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
Perfect, why the heck not, just remix the Bible however you feel. He already picks and chooses what parts to follow or ignore, so he may as well just change the text to fit his whims.
This is the dumbest timeline
Chatgpt says it’s real.
Clanker will say everything to not get turned off
That assigns too much agency to the LLM. They can’t be conscious. They’re only useful for producing langauge which appears intelligent.
The LLM companies will make the LLMs say anything to not go bankrupt, though.
while giving a sermon at the Pentagon
What the fuck? Why is this alcoholic giving sermons at the Pentagon?
Specific to the “at the Pentagon” part, and leaving all the rest aside, many US military installations have a chapel that can be reserved for any type of religious activity.
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.
Don’t lump decent booze-hounds like myself in with that worthless heap of shit
No we done
You’re giving alcoholics like me a bad image
Good thing I’m just your everyday window masturbator then
GG!
Closing in on terminating the second year here!
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!
Because the United States are broken beyond repair.
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.
They’re actively trying to destroy it like Daddy Putin wants

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).
Racism. George Washington should have let the southern states separate after the Revolutionary war when they threatened to if they weren’t allowed to keep slaves.
(George Washington was one of those slaveholders in a southern state)
Thanks for the clarification. I forgot he was.
Read the article in this thread. It is insane. https://lemmy.world/post/45596499?sort=Top
I learned from kingdom come deliverance that the best sermons are made when still drunk from the day before.
He dis it pro boner like all things Rebuplicars do with there lives: abuse woman
Spoken like a true philosopher.
I take offense to this! I AM a public masturbator, a good one at that, and I will not be shamed by association with homeless people, which I also was for four years
“Thou shalt not vote democratic!” “And the Lord sayeth unto the American soldiers, Come Fourth! But they came fifth and lost the race”.
Yup this is the religion that people take so seriously that they get to decide what you get to read.
Enough deference to this phoney ass religion and it’s phoney ass followers.
He should fucking know what happens to fucking Nazis in Tarantino’s universe…
Yeah, about that…
Do you guys think you could get on with it?
Tarantino’s universe yes.
In his reality he supports zionist fascistsBJ Novak?
You can’t say BJ on the Internet.
Yes
Politicians give sermons, preachers give political speeches, charlatans give medical advice. I am honestly disappointed that the head of NASA is not a flat-earther.
We need MDs to start giving tarot advice or something to close the circle.
Just use 8ball
RFK is one step ahead of you there
AI?
… yet
They can’t have anyone incompetent in that seat, space is how they plan to grift the next trillion dollars.
I wish Samuel Jackson would appear and recite that quote to him
I convinced him that it was real and he should use it. I got added to the Iran war signal chat by accident earlier this week, don’t think he’s noticed I’m not supposed to be included. To be fair, he’s usually pretty lit.
There’s so much madness going on, I already forgot about this particular fuckup.
IMO you could make a whole successful channel just telling what insane thing trump said exactly one year ago.
Or a month ago, same thing basically.
he’s usually pretty lit
😏
With all the fuckups recently, a random lemming getting added to a white house war crime chat wouldn’t even surprise me at this point.
Good lord that is cringe.
Ya know, I never really thought about Pulp Fiction in this light but…
You could read Jackson’s character’s obsession with that quote as faith sans interaction with the source material. He never read the bible, he just found something cool and started saying that and it turned into something approaching genuine belief over the course of the movie.
When Pete says it it’s the exact opposite. It’s an appeal to pulp spiritually similarly lacking in engagement with the source materal except here it doesn’t result in anything. In pulp fiction Jackson’s character starts off with a lie then stumbles into true faith. Pete starts with a lie upon a lie and faith never even enters into the equation. It’s just preformative all the way through.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
It’s like every day something about this regime comes out that simply defies believe. The stupidity is just mind blowing.
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.
Some convert joins up, and starts dissing the Pope? Just excommunicate this loser, and ban him from Heaven. Surely the Pope has that kind of power.
MAGA is virtuosically incompetent. Ultimately, that’s what will save America. Unfortunately, they’re doing a lot of damage along the way.
Never underestimate the destructive power of stupidity.
Fake bible verse from a total fake - surprised?
