Who would have thought blowing Frump would be one of the less disgusting things this DB does?
Yes, along with his home SCIF that was built special for him, just to use his personal phone and announce secret plans via Signal intentionally for the Russians to intercept because accidents happen.
Being an alcoholic doesn’t make you a bad person. But it’s true that it would usually prevent someone from getting a security clearance. Let alone running the whole fucking DOD. Trump would never qualify for a clearance either, for about a million reasons. But of course, if you’re President, it doesn’t matter.
Please do not insult morons ! He is highly focused on pleasing an incontinent, sub-cretinous, acerebral dolt who is only interested in those that eagerly prostrate themselves before him to sample the nectar from the sacred sceptre.
They are constantly dropping shit like this. Signals to themselves that have enough plausible deniability so they can pretend noticing it is “crazy”. They are obviously vile people..
You are aware of how many of his voters have rescinded their support? Look at all of the stronghold red districts who flipped blue just this year
Edit: Im not saying they’re justified, or that they’re now ok. Until one starts voting against Trump and against his policies, it really is just too bad, so sad.
That's not true. They vote again for state representatives and senators at 2 years in. With the people's support, those congressmen can impeach the president. People changing their minds can have an impact on our direction.
They voted for a 34 time convicted felon who tried to raise an insurrection because the other candidate was a moderate female. You're acting like people are caught off guard and now pearl clutching his actions but he's had a 60 year track record.
78 million Americans voted for a reflection of what we are.
That tattoo is on my family's armor (see my profile if curious)..it's a crusaders-cross variant (Jerusalem cross).
It's a symbol of piety and service (and both I take with exceptional seriousness)
It fucking angers me every time I see it or the dozen or so other ones white supremacists stole to represent their racist ideology.
Considering my ancestor fought to end slavery in the 1500s (at least within Amsterdam)..a person can use my brain to analyze how they would feel: we would've pike-axed our family's symbols from their flesh.
(btw: hitler talked shit about my family and ancestors in speeches <-- quite proud of that one)
edit to add: I know what the fuck that tattoo is, you racist fucking dirtbags - it is on over 100 pieces of my family's medieval armor in dutch royal armory-museum outside amsterdam along with captured pieces in the danish war museum in copenhagen - my cousin is a very significant figure in Holland.
SORRY BUT WE DON'T LIKE YOU. WE DON'T APPRECIATE YOU STEALING OUR ICONOGRAPHY. IN DIFFERENT TIMES, YOU WOULD'VE BEEN INSTANT-DEATHED FOR HAVING THEM ON YOUR BODY.
Here is ChatGPTs summary:
The cross tattoo on Pete Hegseth's chest is identified as the Jerusalem cross, which is also known as the Crusader's cross.
It is described as looking like a large cross with four smaller crosses, one in each corner.
The sources note that while it is a historic Christian symbol, it has also been adopted and used by far-right and white supremacist groups.
OF NOTE: For me, it is the THREE KINGS / FOUR BROTHERS CROSS - my family is one of those brothers -THE LOWER LEFT QUADRANT and represents the military (the GRAND ARMY..and yes, it's the same name racists also stole - grand army of the klu klux klan - you people give us every reason to hate you) an independent military owned by my family and used by 3 kings (so they didn't fight each other).
Racists sense of history is ALL fucked up.
edit edit to add: I teach ai-related "hacking" and supervise university students doing their doctoral work in an ai lab - it's boring af.
I do appreciate all the racist downvotes though. You fucks really are something. lol.
(and my family weren't crusaders per se..we were pagan seidr-ists until recently..we're considered to be og vikings..actual vikings, not the racist cosplay bullshit and the cross is STAMPED on the inside of the armor..it's not emblazened with the symbol you'd normally associate with - white with red cross..it's maybe 2.5x2.5 inches - we were blue-collar knights (blackened-armor knights - not flamboyant super decorative german knights - who, btw, were considered "ghey" as well as the Suisse-Garde)
I always found the swastika to be one of the strangest misappropriations in all of human history. In a vacuum, it's a very basic shape found in designs in every culture all over the world, barely more complicated than a triangle. Now people on reddit think every old building mosaic in India must be racist.
Well that was the original intent of the nazi's using the swastika in their symbolism. It was originally a symbol of peace in Hinduism if I recall correctly. The nazi's wanted to portray to the masses through their propaganda they were trying to save the world from communism and socialists, bringing a peaceful reform to the world. Using symbolism from Hinduism which historically was viewed as a peaceful religion was an extensive effort by those leading the propaganda in nazi Germany to gain the support of the public.
Much good that did, now especially since that symbol throughout most of the world is no longer viewed that way. The frustrating thing is there are so many symbols nowadays that have been bastardized by racists and such that make it very difficult for anyone to appreciate their history appropriately (think Scandinavian symbols like the valknut, mjolnir, etc.).
When I was in 5th grade in art class I "invented" a swastika on the hind leg of a horse/ unicorn drawing. I was so confused when I got pulled into the principals office...
The crusades were a horrific time of religious mass murder, corruption, sadistic treatment of “heretics” and “pagans,” and overall incredibly morally bankrupt behavior. People who idolize them aren’t exactly giving off a better image than a neo-Nazi. “Deus vult” was the battle cry behind a movement that slaughtered hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children indiscriminately because the guy they believe is god’s messenger on earth told them that those people who also worship the same god were doing it wrong. And not just Muslims, the first victims of the first crusade were Jews. The first party of crusaders didn’t even make it out of the Holy Roman Empire before they started massacring Jews. And they weren’t the only ones, crusade apologists like to claim they were only responding to the Jihad, but that doesn’t explain the thousands of middle eastern Jews who were exterminated and had their religious iconography and temples destroyed.
I'm right there with you. thank you for that. I'm automatically suspicious of the crusades but I'm still trying to make room for religious people. just trying to get along since there's so many of them and I'm trying not to call them a cult to their face since they're in a cult. anyway, fuck the crusades. pick another history obsession I say and stop being racist. it's lame.
I'll admit I was confused for a moment because Deus Vult and the Jerusalem cross are famously crusader symbols, so I wasn't sure what Nazi tattoo I was supposed to be looking for. All these fucking neo-Nazis keep stealing and appropriating things just so they can dog whistle to each other. I'm still mad that they took the universal sign for "ok" 👌
When did I say we were crusaders? My family is considered one of the oldest viking family's and were pagans (the seidr religion) up until recently (mid-medieval-era). Try not to make assumptions.
Oh, and I did see that warhammer reference before and was like "thats cool!" - I play strategy games and have a few warhammer guidebooks. There is also an australian cybersecurity company named that - which is really weird because that's been my main gig for 48 years lol. the black (zwarte) in the name is for the armor - all of our knights (65,000 of them) all wore a roughed-up "campaign" armor - oiled and blackened because it was for long and extended battles.
to save you a search 88 is a stupidly veiled reference to heil hilter, h being the 8th letter of the alphabet. it's even dumber that let's go brandon. he got it tattooed, the man is a dumbass.
Had to scroll down too far to find this. I was considering commenting with an image of that particular one. No one seems to be acknowledging or mentioning the other tattoo on his right bicep area. This post is kind of a confusing mis-direction, erroneously invalidating a serious concern.
Based on his political positions, actions while in office, and disturbing extremist ideas brought forth in his books it would be naive to say that tattoo is just an 18th century Hopkinson flag with an AR-15 at the bottom. To add to what you were saying- 88 is a known, well established, documented Neo-Nazi dog whistle. H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. I’ll leave it at that.
People don’t wanna believe it, but we are now under Nazi regime, Trump and Putin and trump and you’re elected officials took the cash or standby and looks stunned like they have no answers for this mess
Technically its a Crusaders Cross or Jerusalem Cross. But the Iron Cross is derived from these and has a similar geographical origin (Germany/Prussia). Given the other tattoos around it though and his ideology, its definitely not a good look.
In 1804, Napoleon changed the world by restructuring civil society such that qualified technocratic specialists were appointed to head specific purpose bureaucracies. E.g. education specialists appointed to run the education bureau, qualified engineers appointed to govern infrastructure, etc.
From 1804 until, well, Trump, the modern world was defined by qualified specialists governing technocratic bureaucracies. It worked pretty well.
Now we have nazi newscasters running the Pentagon. What the fuck.
A simple heuristic for how to judge a cabinet nominee - if you've ever heard their name before, they probably aren't the right person for the job. Nobody knows the names of education specialists and logistics experts.
Thanks for the information. However since the Nazis corrupted this symbol into something so horrible why would anyone in the public eye ever consider putting it on their body? It's not a very intelligent or logical decision. Merry Christmas 🎄
He exemplifies all of trump’s appointees. Absolutely unqualified, loyal to one man and money. No respect for the constitution, America and its people. Imposters all of them.
Hegseth is a self-described Christian nationalist and a member of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, a denomination whose founder, Doug Wilson, has faced accusations of promoting Christian supremacy and controversial views on women and the antebellum South. Hegseth has also used "enemy" rhetoric to describe political opponents and advocates for a "war" against the U.S. military to purge those disloyal to President Trump.
Hegseth has a secondary tattoo of Deus Vult on his right biceps.
Deus vult (Latin for "God wills it") was the rallying cry of the First Crusade, signifying divine approval for taking the Holy Land, but has been co-opted by modern alt-right, white supremacist, and anti-Islamic groups as a slogan for xenophobic or nationalist agendas.
It’s a Jerusalem cross, 5 crosses do the 5 wounds Jesus suffered. It was also used by the Cristian crusade, nothing to do with neo nazi or any of that. The things you people get spun up about is wild.
I'm not defending anything or anyone but this is not a nazi tattoo. It can be seen as extremist, not nazi. As in any statement, your credibility is automatically in question when you make mistakes like this, no matter how right your message or idea may be.
What kind of tattoo artist was like yeah let’s do this tattoo on someone. If I was a tattoo artist I’d be like “no you’re going to another artist I’m not doing this”
What a dumb comment, the Jerusalem cross is literally the national flag of Georgia. Why could people not have their national flag tattooed on their body and be in government?
You are right, it is not a Nazi symbol. However the Jerusalem Cross paired with “Deus Vult” is a common and identified white nationalist symbol, so more a lateral move rather than a full defense
Im pretty sure nowadays nazis are using more subtle tattoos. Ones that are essentially dogwhistles. So nazis will see them, and know he is one of them, and those who dont understand the dog whistle will assume it is just a meaningless tatoo.
You see, i was trying to figure out why i knew it wasn't a Nazi marking and its because of the crusades. Knights Templar and pretty much anyone involved with the crusades (both sides) aren't really good looking back.
So the thing is that white supremacists use a lot of crusades symbolism. So while it ain't specifically Nazi. I'd say it's absolutely white supremacy coded.

Give your head a shake, genius.

Is his makeup studio sold as an accessory?
As an accessory to war crimes, yes.
That comes with the Jesse Watters ensemble.
Yes, along with his home SCIF that was built special for him, just to use his personal phone and announce secret plans via Signal

You mean the rapist appointed the racist, right?
Deus Vult is also a Nazi tattoo. He has at least two Nazi tattoos that I can see in this picture.
The knee pads are sold separately from Neesome store
Someone should get this made somewhere and ask him to autograph it. Of course he won't, but it will still be funny to see lol
You forgot "alcoholic wife beater" in your description

A DUI hire
Don’t insult drunks like that.
could have been as literally drunk as possible without dying and would not vote trump
Right? Drunks are good people. I know because I’m good people.
Yeah, I'm getting tired of being a more or less respectful alcoholic and being associated this asshole.
Being an alcoholic doesn’t make you a bad person. But it’s true that it would usually prevent someone from getting a security clearance. Let alone running the whole fucking DOD. Trump would never qualify for a clearance either, for about a million reasons. But of course, if you’re President, it doesn’t matter.
🙃
I saw someone on another thread calling him Kegsbreath.
Its telling the admin with the loudest complaints on DEI is also the one with the least qualified appointees
Please do not insult morons ! He is highly focused on pleasing an incontinent, sub-cretinous, acerebral dolt who is only interested in those that eagerly prostrate themselves before him to sample the nectar from the sacred sceptre.

That’s super cool that Hitler trashed your family. I would be pretty proud of that too

That said, probably best to never use it again.
Yeah sometimes a symbol can just be ruined
Thank god Hitler wasn’t a fan of the Cool S or all my middle school doodles would look REALLY fucking incriminating
I was thinking the other day about how he also completely ruined a particular way of having a mustache

Well that was the original intent of the nazi's using the swastika in their symbolism. It was originally a symbol of peace in Hinduism if I recall correctly.

Yeah, but I am pretty sure this wasn't one of them. I am pretty sure this is the Templar's cross.
Look, I loathe the guy, but misinformation is why we have our current administration in the first place.
He has a deus veult tattoo as well no?
Hes a nazi there is absolutely no doubt. Like why are people questioning this?
People just see what they want.
I said the same thing. I also think it’s the Templars cross.
Flattering lol
Imagine having the man himself say how you're the OPPOSITE of Hitler.
Jerusalem cross has never been a nazi symbol, iron cross was.
Combine it with the Deus Vult tattoo on his arm we're well on our way to a Christian Nationalist bingo!
yeah, you can try to talk your way out of one appropriated tattoo but 2? Naw dude, you racist
Theres also the flag with 88. All just explained away somehow.
personally I'm done at "deus vult". you can't pretend you didn't know that was appropriated. Or that you're that into the crusades or xianity.
Im actually shocked how many people try to pretend thats not the end of the discussion.
The crusades were a horrific time of religious mass murder, corruption, sadistic treatment of “heretics” and “pagans,” and overall incredibly morally bankrupt behavior. People who idolize them aren’t exactly giving off a better image than a neo-Nazi. “Deus vult” was the battle cry behind a movement that slaughtered hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children indiscriminately because the guy they believe is god’s messenger on earth told them that those people who also worship the same god were doing it wrong.

"We The People" that looks more like "Weiße People"
Exactly, it’s not a Nazi symbol… just something they stole and tried to tarnish.
I'll admit I was confused for a moment because Deus Vult and the Jerusalem cross are famously crusader symbols, so I wasn't sure what Nazi tattoo I was supposed to be looking for. All these fucking neo-Nazis keep stealing and appropriating things just so they can dog whistle to each other. I'm still mad that they took the universal sign for "ok" 👌
How very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Shhh buddy, them's too much words
that goes hard. what did hitler say and can it still be found
i would not be proud to be the descendant of crusaders, you know, genocidal maniacs who loved killing arabs in the name of god...
there's a reason why white supremacists stole that symbol
Well that’s certainly one EXTREMELY reductionist and historically revisionist take…
You clearly don’t know what a genocide is.
Hundreds of years of Islamic invasions, and you think the crusades to liberate the Holy Land were the crime?
Do you know anything at all about history that isn’t white bad, non-white good?
When did I say we were crusaders? My family is considered one of the oldest viking family's and were pagans (the seidr religion) up until recently (mid-medieval-era). Try not to make assumptions.

Google says your black guard thing is fictional and from War Hammer

Heh..that's ok..the words black and guard are english..and I'm not english lol :P

The Nazi tattoo is the 13 stars on his arm, which is covered in this image.
The stars are organized to create a clear 88 in the negative space between the stars.
The normal flag doesn't have that, and the tattoo is clearly designed in a way to make the 88 appear.
Google 88 if you don't understand.
to save you a search 88 is a stupidly veiled reference to heil hilter, h being the 8th letter of the alphabet. it's even dumber that let's go brandon. he got it tattooed, the man is a dumbass.

'Pete Hegseth is a f*cking douche' Imagine a world I get turned away from a country for typing this
He exemplifies all of trump’s appointees. Absolutely unqualified, loyal to one man and money. No respect for the constitution, America and its people. Imposters all of them.
Haha that's not a Nazi tattoo
Shhh contribute to the echo chamber!!!! Trump and his whole admin are nazis!!!!!!!
So there is more than just the drinking that he isn't embarrassed by. Why would a person not get rid of that tattoo??
And was confirmed, which still blows my mind.
Captain shitfaced little peter beater
Racist pedophile

Isn’t he a possible drug - Alcohol - addict?

OP’s brain is as smooth as a mirror
Hegseth is a self-described Christian nationalist and a member of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, a denomination whose founder, Doug Wilson, has faced accusations of promoting Christian supremacy and controversial views on women and the antebellum South. Hegseth has also used "enemy" rhetoric to describe political opponents and advocates for a "war" against the U.S. military to purge those disloyal to President Trump.
History will be very unkind to this administration.

The “88” dog whistle in the American flag is peak nazi shithead!
I believe if you are talking about his chest - it is the Christian Crusaders - who went to take Jerusalem back from the Moslem horde.
So, not Nazi, but an equally murderous group who wanted to kill all non Christians in the name of Christ.
Queue all the blonde white “Christians” saying “iTs NoT a nAZI sYmBoL BrO!1 hE jUST lIKeS tHE crUSaDES!!1”
Hegseth has a secondary tattoo of Deus Vult on his right biceps.
Deus vult (Latin for "God wills it") was the rallying cry of the First Crusade, signifying divine approval for taking the Holy Land, but has been co-opted by modern alt-right, white supremacist, and anti-Islamic groups as a slogan for xenophobic or nationalist agendas.
Thats our SSecretary of the Clown Show.
Technically it’s a Christofascist tattoo.
It’s a Jerusalem cross, 5 crosses do the 5 wounds Jesus suffered. It was also used by the Cristian crusade, nothing to do with neo nazi or any of that. The things you people get spun up about is wild.
Look close. It’s fake! Photoshopped. Liberals believe the worst of conservatives what’s new!
I'm not defending anything or anyone but this is not a nazi tattoo. It can be seen as extremist, not nazi. As in any statement, your credibility is automatically in question when you make mistakes like this, no matter how right your message or idea may be.
What kind of tattoo artist was like yeah let’s do this tattoo on someone. If I was a tattoo artist I’d be like “no you’re going to another artist I’m not doing this”

No Patrick, the Jerusalem Cross is not a Nazi symbol 🙄
That’s not a Nazi sign you idiots.
Who said republicans where not nazis
Def not a notsee tat lol
How utterly stupid to have yourself tattooed like that, guy looks like a moron. In no other country would a guy who looked like that be in government.

What a dumb comment, the Jerusalem cross is literally the national flag of Georgia. Why could people not have their national flag tattooed on their body and be in government?
We’re talking about the 13 stars shaped to create the numbers “88”. Stop defending a nazi
I can find 0 pictures that show an "88". He has stars around his elbow, but they form a single circle, not an 8 or an 88

Jimmy Carter famous Nazi . I never knew
[deleted]
You are right, it is not a Nazi symbol. However the Jerusalem Cross paired with “Deus Vult” is a common and identified white nationalist symbol, so more a lateral move rather than a full defense
It's nazi-ish kinda. But no, it's not a nazi tat per se.
*edit* the commenter above kept crashing harder and harder.
Nazi tattoo is the MD wannabe senator that got it covered up because “ he was drunk and didn’t know”
I believe you mean Maine? Or did I miss a good one in Maryland?
Yes ME stupid fat fingers of mine 😂😂
RFK is coming to help you sir.
I’m not fat just my fingers are big boned 😅
Im pretty sure nowadays nazis are using more subtle tattoos. Ones that are essentially dogwhistles. So nazis will see them, and know he is one of them, and those who dont understand the dog whistle will assume it is just a meaningless tatoo.
He's a huuuge fan of the crusades
You see, i was trying to figure out why i knew it wasn't a Nazi marking and its because of the crusades. Knights Templar and pretty much anyone involved with the crusades (both sides) aren't really good looking back.
So the thing is that white supremacists use a lot of crusades symbolism. So while it ain't specifically Nazi. I'd say it's absolutely white supremacy coded.
