NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 4)

The next policy change is going to be that all uniforms are being replaced.with the Spartan costumes from 300.

Nope. You’re forgetting about the cost-cutting drive. The next policy change is the military goes into battle adorned like the Gaesatae tribe of Celts.

Here is a blast from the ancient and innocent past, 2003. Which was/is amazingly prescient about the path forward for whatever is left of our newly improved T-augmented white male only DoD.

What, that beardo?

OMG, I’ve never seen that. It’s great.

Hegseth’s Testosterone Number. Sorry, it’s a Twitter link, it’s the only place found it.

I assumed Hegseth wanted the troops to look like an Abercrombie & Fitch photo shoot.

Care to summarize, for those of us without an X account?

It’s an animated video of a song with lyrics like, “Testosterone. It’s the juice that makes you more burly. Testosterone. You’ll no longer feel so girly.” and “So stand and shout and whip it out … Testosterone!”

All presented as a WWII training film.

And I was able to watch it despite not having a Twitter account.

Hm, I was too, eventually. Trying to press the start button just gave me a popup to log in or sign up, but somehow (either from clicking fast or just waiting) it started on its own.

Still couldn’t turn on the sound. The controls weren’t visible while it was playing, and while it was stopped, the unmute button just gave the same popup. But I got the gist.

This could go here or in the Fuck Texas thread.

There’s a good picture in the linked article.

At least 120 giant border buoys weighing about one ton each are floating uncontrolled and dislodged down the Rio Grande from Eagle Pass, Texas, toward the South Texas border town of Laredo after flooding in the region.

Laredo Mayor Victor Treviño declared an emergency on Friday warning the 260,000 residents in his town of the unusual debris headed their way. He expects the buoys to arrive downstream Saturday evening.

It’s remarkable how reliably ALL of Hegseth’s opinions and actions tend to point in the direction of him being ardently non-heterosexual.

Which is fine; we’d all benefit from his learning to be honest about it, though.

You’re certainly not the first to notice, and at least one lawmaker agrees:

Been meaning to bring up Tom of Finland IRT Kegsbreath* for a while now.
Probably has a stash of the comics somewhere.

*as well as fucker Carlson’s ball-tanning wierdness.

:notes: The bouys are back in town… :notes:

It’s impossible to miss.

Note that it was said of “Nazi culture” (the general visual presentation, as well as what obsessed them) that homoeroticism was a vital if unacknowledged component. And Hegseth does seem to have taken at least some cues from the Nazi look-and-feel.

There’s a lot of speculation about the Nazi obsession, though not everyone agrees, as in this Variety review of a documentary on Hitler’s sexuality:

Whatever it is, Pete has it bad.

Alec Neel Vance was born today (7/19/26). I already reported a post on MSNOW’s Facebook page for being disrespectful. Folks, he’s a BABY.

You lazy bastards!

“Americans work five days a week, the minimum we ought to work is seven days a week,” Scott said. “I’m a business guy. Business people have to work every day. We need to work every day to get this stuff done.”

The minimum? Does he think the song “Eight Days A Week” describes an alternative calendar? Or is he just a hateful moron? Hmm…

And if he thinks it’s less work to NOT be a Congressman, by all means go ahead and not be one
