What the fuck? Why is this alcoholic giving sermons at the Pentagon?
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.
I learned from kingdom come deliverance that the best sermons are made when still drunk from the day before.
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.
Read the article in this thread. It is insane. https://lemmy.world/post/45596499?sort=Top
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
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.
It's like every day something about this regime comes out that simply defies believe. The stupidity is just mind blowing.

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.
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.
😏
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.
It's already bad enough that they have sermons in government buildings, but then it's with this kind of content?
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.
Source for that is here
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.
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.
@kat_angstrom Yeah, it's a cult. Cults do weird stuff like this. It looks crazy from the outside, because it is, but it seems normal to those on the inside.
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...
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?
And who's you guys?
Americans
Tarantino’s universe yes.
In his reality he supports zionist fascists
BJ Novak?
Yes
You can't say BJ on the Internet.
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 know he's stupid and a drunk, but I don't believe for a moment he thought there was a biblical verse about aviators. They were obviously repurposing the Pulp Fiction quote for this particular pilot and his unit.
Right. That matches his persona perfectly.
I bet when he was around black people in social settings as a younger person he brought up Samuel Jackson to relate.
"I'm a big Samuel Jackson fan!"
"Okay, that's nice..."
Indeed. He thinks he was being badass.
It's crazy how weak you look when you do things that you think will make you look badass. Like elon in a leather jacket trying to smoke a cigar. Can't find weaker charisma ever.
I think the issue was mixing in non-bible material, without disclosing it, during a sermon.
He should not be holding a sermon in the first place. That is the main issue. It is rather inconsequential if the goobledegook he says differs from regular sermon goobledegook.
I agree.
I guess?
No, I don't think so. It matters whether he is sincere or just a grifter.
"Thou shalt not vote democratic!" "And the Lord sayeth unto the American soldiers, Come Fourth! But they came fifth and lost the race".
Good lord that is cringe.
Chefs kiss.
I wish Samuel Jackson would appear and recite that quote to him
You cannot make this shit Up..wow
We can't, but LLMs can!
Any day now someone is gonna quote Austin 3:16 - in the most ridiculous manner possible
Like.... "Yeah, Baby"?
Pentagon.... sermon 🤔
Gentleman, no fighting in the war room!
Fake bible verse from a total fake - surprised?
I fucking bet he wrote the speech with a fucking LLM. That’s exactly the kind of mistake they make.
But hes also an artificial intelligence. So artificial.
So artificial he's not even intelligent
I have no doubt that he is too lazy to read the religious book that he purports to champion
"And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother......"
He really really wants to be the whitest black man in America.
I mean Trump thinks he's ̶C̶h̶r̶i̶s̶t̶ a doctor.
All those crosses on his chest are stick-ons, right? To be a "Christian soldier" and be that ignorant of the Bible is an absolute slap in the face to anyone that takes Christianity seriously.
Confident stupidity feels like Kegsbreath's go-to move, though.
Confident stupidity is the Hallmark of conservatives.
Pete hegseth is the alcoholic defense secretary for anyone who forgot.
who has his own glamour room in the pentagon like kardashians would when they are doing makeup.
Defense? I find him very offensive. Repulsive even.
If that doesn't scare the shit out of you, it should
My thoughts exactly...
Very normal and cool.
Probably found it with AI
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.
This comedy show just keeps getting worse and worse...
Citizen 8647 wants to get off Mr. Trump's Wild Ride.
It’s almost like these guys are….fake
Hegseth dropped his wallet after the sermon..........
He’s not bad in a good way either. Just bad.
Maybe if we switch to the word "Mother" to either bed or pig?
"Thou shalt drink a bottle of whiskey a day"
There should be no place for religion in politics. Keep that diseased shit to yourself.
Well, things like that happen if you only have second hand knowledge, and have never read the original source.
That's all they are. Fake, fake, Fake, fake, Fake, fake, fake..
Talk about fiction to me!
Well if he wanted fres oramge juice he should have order a heas like the rest of the peanut people. Bible. Heh. Like Jesus knows where the camel goes. Amd how!
God i hate rich assholes who think they know there ass from there ass but its really a hole in the ground so get tinnitus like I did when I fuck the whole the in the backyard back when I was then.
Wut
Borh that and another goes against the stature of minibar two times twosday
