Idiot Hegseth

[highplainsdem]

Hegseth: "As President Trump said, they've been tap tap tapping. Instead, they're gonna have tap tap tap bombs dropping on key facilities in Iran from the United States of America."

Hegseth: "The United States of America controls the Strait of Hormuz"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-06-10T20:50:48.692Z

REPORTER: If the response is hitting bridges and electrical infrastructure, how is that not a war crime?

HEGSETH: That's precisely the kind of disingenuous question I'm used to from the media -- impugning the motives of the folks on our side

moments after confirmed the US is indeed going to bomb Iran tonight, Hegseth claims "we're not in the business of revealing what we're gonna do or not gonna do"

Hegseth: "If we need to negotiate with bombs, we'll negotiate with bombs. And we're very good at it. Nobody better in the world."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-06-10T20:54:34.575Z

Hegseth: "There's classifications about things we know that we don't share with the press"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-06-10T20:56:42.507Z

Hegseth: "These Gitmo detainees should have been executed in my mind personally a long time ago"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-06-10T20:57:02.856Z

Hegseth wraps up his press event: "We'll strike 'em hard tonight, and hopefully Iran makes a good decision. Thank you."

1. Attacks underway now

Reporting is that Iran walked away from the -lets call them- pre-negotiations. So this latest gambit is not going to work. They already endured the more intense attacks of the first days of the war.

[intheflow]

2. This fucking war criminal and traitor needs to be held to the highest account when the Dems regain power.

Traitors still get the death penalty, right?

[GiqueCee]

4. And none of this, "Truth and Reconciliation" BS...

... if these despicable malignancies aren't held to account, they'll just turn around and do it again. They're unrepentant sociopaths, and that's giving them a BIG benefit of the doubt. We should have learned that lesson by now.

[bluestarone]

5. Well i hope TSF passes away before he can pardon any of these

Monsters running our country.

3. I'm quite good at CPR. If he "arrests," in my vicinity, I'd surely move to help...

--right after helping all the black, Hispanic, LGBTQ, Muslims, other POC, all women, and others he's decided are not "worthy" of respect, nor promotion in the military...


But, not to worry, anabolic-steroid-overdosed "side of beef-wannabe' Hegseth... I'd get to you eventually.

[GiqueCee]

6. Hegseth is congenitally incapable of learning from his mistakes...

... France threw him the fuck out of their country for his belligerent bullshit! And here he is, at it again.
Kalshi's gonna get inundated with bets on when he's going to meet an untimely end, which he will richly deserve. Hundreds, maybe thousands, have died without reason or provocation because of this asshole.
The Hague is leaving a light on for him. Trump will have to move his fat ass over; those bunks are narrow.

7. now we know why

he got that label > Major Fukup

[Midnight Writer]

8. That make-up table we bought for him is really paying off. His skin looks fantastic. And the hair? Exquisite.

I'm digging that "War Criminal Casual" thing he has going on.

[debsy]

9. What can we do to stop them doing this shit in our names?

No republicans answer their phones and, even if they did, they don’t listen anyway.

Shouldn’t we all be protesting?? This is more than disgusting, we will be paying for the actions of these (including war) criminals for a long time coming!

[Amaryllis]

10. Lots of us are protesting. My Indivisible group has at least five protests a week not to mention other

resistance activities.
Go to Indivisible.org for actions you can take.

[calimary]

17. My Indivisible group is out there EVERY Friday rush hour

at a big local intersection.

Amazing, and extremely satisfying, all those honks and waves! And we smile, VERY BROADLY, and wave back!

[debsy]

18. Ok I will check this out and make the time to do it!

[not a texan]

11. Hey Pete, you are too in the business of telling people what we will do

Just curious, who besides the press did you invite into the chat this time?

[calimary]

12. Wonder how many lawsuits he'll face after he doesn't have that big job anymore.

For now, anyway, he has SOME protection. But after Donald goes away, so does his “cover”.

[BeneteauBum]

13. This administration is too stupid to learn from mistakes!

This will harden Iran’s resolve and just extend the difficulties faced due to this idiotic conflict.

Peace ☮️

[paleotn]

14. Idiot and Whisky Pete? That's redundant.

[BaronChocula]

15. All the humility of a

A. Drunken Stooge.
B. Nazi Party Reject
C. Insecure Coward
D. Incompetent Imposter
E. All the Above

[OGBuzz]

16. Whenever I see Hegseth's profile I immediately think Beavis. It's so distracting.
