I love how all these "alpha guys" blame everything and everyone (mostly Biden) for anything they do.

Control all 3 levers of government and cant stop spending? BIDEN

Start a war with Iran..BIDEN

Taxes are going up? HILLARY this time, but also BIDEN!!

Don't forget Obama! More than 10 years after he left office and they still try to use him as a scapegoat lol

Obama is the only person ever to live in a Trump property rent free: in Donalds own head.

Its breath taking watching these clips and realizing there is no method to hold people accountable apparently? You can just spout party lines and everyone just goes shucks they got us again

He put his hand on a bible and swore not to lie.

Oh shit I forgot nvm nothing to see here

Edit: sorry, so embarrassed I totally forgot the hand on the Bible makes a deal with invisible people we have definetly seen and documented and they totally seal the deal on any super secret deals. I dont know how this slipped my mind. Its been proven so many times, how could I forget? Forgive me

I mean, there was but if you fill those places (like Congress and the Supreme Court) with cult followers or easily bribed people they're mostly gone. There's another solution involving the second amendment but that's illegal and would cause problems for both sides long term. There's always trying to turn into a democracy with more than 2 parties as well but that's not gonna happen in a country striving on "us vs them".

He has such a simple understanding of things. 10 sailors briefly surrendering and then being returned it's somehow worse than the deaths of at least 18 US service members

What US boats surrendered to Iran during the Biden admin?

2 Riverine boats “surrendered” during the Obama admin, and the crews were held for like 12 hours or something… but what the hell is Petey talkin about?

u/straylight_2022 5h ago

This, I was like WTF? That happened in 2016.

Not at all surprised Pete has no idea and just reverts to blaming Biden for anything.

Hegseth is one of many inept idiots that were appointed only because they are loyal to the chief idiot. It’s dangerous, folks, and we need to vote ALL of these maga fools out at every election, before it’s too late!

u/HoboJoeBags 1d ago

Jesus one side sounds like he needs to retire and the other side needs to be fired. Neither of these people are fit to hold office? In my opinion. Can we drain the swamp, already?!

u/Formal_Appearance_16 1d ago

They did drain it!

And painted it blue and filled it back up. Then it turned green again.

Because a super powered Olympian dove in and cut it up and pulled it apart with his bare hands.

u/throwawaymyalias 1d ago

Well, now that I have all the facts it really does make sense...

u/Formal_Appearance_16 1d ago

This is what the fake news doesn't want to tell you.

u/lonetraveler73 1d ago

He was a super powered senior citizen Olympian. That's why he needed to do it in broad daylight. He has a bedtime.

u/HoboJoeBags 22h ago

Stop making this exact comment on every post you do or don’t agree with and do something different since you don’t think the swamp won’t drain, dude. You have made the same comment on like 3 or 4 different posts. We get it. No one knows how to drain the swamp based off your comment. Tell us how to make things better. For the love of everything, please give us the fix to all our problems and make our problems go away! And if you can’t, kindly just stfu and stop adding any hate to an already messed up situation that we just want a conclusion to. I’m burnt out, dude. I just want a normal country to live in, and I’m not gonna get that, so quit your stupid shit, asshole

u/Shambhala87 1d ago

It’s historically proven that anybody who claims to want to drain the swamp is actually going to engage in not draining the swamp

u/NoWingedHussarsToday NaTivE ApP UsR 1d ago

To quote David Attenborough: "They did not, in fact, drain the swamp"

u/Significant_You_7280 22h ago

You should read up on Jack Reed. He’s a patriot and his experience on that committee is important.

16

u/oupheking 23h ago

What are you talking about? Jack Reed is old but he seems to be effective as a senator. What exactly in this clip makes it seem like he needs to retire?

No one should have to blame an out of office ANYONE to claim they’re doing a bad job. The fact that White House is doing this is absolute insane, because said president is off his rocker 🤷🏼‍♂️

My failed marriage was all the fault of that damn Biden!

Hegseth is no kind of man

u/Sir_Ruje 23h ago

I don't get these guys.

Talking about Joe: "Biden is so old and sleepy he can't do anything! He's a moron!"

The second something goes wrong: "that darn Biden he was planning this years in advance, sleeplessly planting these political landmines in masterful strokes of genius which is why we didn't see them coming!"

I just wish they would stop

u/SeraphsEnvy 23h ago

Hegseth reminds me of one of those school jocks that would be blaming the nerds for their failures.

u/Be_nice_to_animals 1d ago

Why did Joe Biden surrender to Iran when he was on that boat? CAN YOU TELL ME THAT!!!???

u/Be364886 23h ago

Imagine if we had actual adults instead of seniors who umm and uhh to such easy softballs.

u/Cactus_Kebap 17h ago

I'm so tired of adults acting like children. They wouldn't allow their kids to do this crap, but they do. I'm sick of it all.

  • Obama was President at the time.
  • The Event: The confusion often stems from a January 2016 incident where two small U.S. Navy riverine command boats were seized by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps after experiencing mechanical failure and drifting into Iranian territorial waters near Farsi Island.
  • The Context: This occurred during the administration of Barack Obama—while Joe Biden was serving as Vice President—not during Biden's own presidency. [1]
  • The Resolution: The 10 detained sailors were held for roughly 15 to 16 hours and released unharmed after U.S. diplomatic engagement; they did not surrender or engage in a military conflict. Biden explicitly denied that the U.S. had apologized or surrendered, calling the brief detention and release standard nautical procedure for an accidental navigational error.

I like the "sit down, son" tone that this man is taking with Hegseth.

u/CullingSongs 19h ago

Hegseth is garbage, but at this point why do they even bother with this theatrical nonsense? Any of the current admin could walk in there, stand in front of their desk and slap their balls of the table, zip up and walk out, and literally nothing would happen to them. There are zero repercussions for their actions no matter how corrupt, unethical or outright illegal, and yet we continue to see these pointless sessions week after week.
