You can put lipstick on a pig. However, in the end it's still lipstick.

What a collosal pussy. All armed service members should be absolutely ashamed to be following such a shallow, childish, vain, poor excuse of a man. You would sacrifice your life on the whims of this douchebag?

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I feel ashamed about signing up 20 years ago, and every one of us who’ve done so should be sighting in rifle sights again.

What a pussy

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

What a snowflake pussy.

Now they'll have no choice but to reuse all the unflattering photos they already took.

5D chess...

Yes. Streisand the fuck out of this. Unflattering photos in the press is part of being a public servant douchebag.

featuring the French words “Deus Vult”

he should be thrilled they took pictures of his, standing, clothed and not face first in a puddle of his own piss, spilled booze and vomit.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

It probably is just a matter of time before he gets the Jenna Bush treatment.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 148 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Another first amendment violation!

"It's been 0 days since this administration violated someone's rights."

The "0" is just written in ink. It has not changed, and never will.

[–] eddie@feddit.online 9 points 10 hours ago

more like written in blood

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 17 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

They know, and they don't care and furthermore they ask you the people "what are you gonna do about it?"

This regime is just WAITING for citizens to step up. They are itching to initiate martial law and the insurrection act now more than ever.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Trump is a deep cover leftist. He's trying to get people and the system as a whole to stand up and tighten the system and show why right wing policies and authoritarian policies are bad. But no one is stepping up!

I really want to start planting this idea in conservative spaces.

This is a lot more serious than the headline...

Photographs from the briefings are immediately released online for the public and press to use. If that hurts the business model for certain news outlets, then they should consider applying for a Pentagon press credential,” Wilson wrote.

Last year, the Pentagon implemented a new rule for media that required credentialed outlets to agree to a new policy that states reporters cannot gather or publish information from the Defense Department that is not explicitly authorized.

That includes declassified information or off-the-record conversations, no matter where the information was obtained.

Many mainstream media outlets refused to sign the agreement, finding the new rules oppressive. As a result, major broadcasters such as Fox News, ABC News, CBS News, CNN and NBC News; legacy newspapers such as the Associated Press, New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal; and other outlets lost their Pentagon press credentials.

And yet they'll keep shouting Free Speech unironically.

The problem with taking good photos of Pete Hegseth is that, no matter what, it's still a photo of Pete Hegseth.

Is he wearing a bra?

[–] arcterus@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

This was my first thought lol. Like, there are flattering photos of Hegseth? At best he looks smarmy.

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, his personality comes through.

[–] eddie@feddit.online 4 points 10 hours ago

hate when that happens

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 40 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Sober up, Pete. Catch a shower and maybe change the oil in your hair.

[–] jdr@lemmy.ml 30 points 11 hours ago
[–] HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 24 points 13 hours ago

Next up, Hegseth's mother makes a scene and calls the principal because some mean journalist did their job

[–] Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 30 points 14 hours ago

The vanity fair photos are still the best worst photos of the current admin.

[–] xerxes@piefed.social 3 points 9 hours ago

Nice, so Pete gonna put a bag on his head or what?

There is always a bigger cunt. They invented the male camel toe.

[–] CompostMaterial@lemmy.world 25 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

That is not a question you should ask with this administration, because the answer is always yes.

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 8 points 13 hours ago

Cunts all the way down.

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 7 points 14 hours ago

This is referred to as Escher's Cunt.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

You heard the secretary, plaster unflattering photos of him all around meatspace

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

When preteens run a nation with the most powerful military on the planet.

Thanks conservatives. You really do vote for people you identify with.

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Bring on the artists renditions!!

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 2 points 13 hours ago

Oh wonderful, that means we will never see photos of him again!

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

he's just mad they aren't taking photos of his white supremacist tattoos
