Pete Hegseth is completely unfit for any ranking position in our military.

> As Open the Books explained, the Pentagon tries to spend as much of its congressionally allocated budget as possible at the end of every fiscal year because of federal “use-it-or-lose-it” rules. If the department ends the year with leftover funds, it risks having its budget reduced the following year.
It’s kinda insane that in this day and age this is still how budgeting is done at the US government.
Quick guys we need to spend $15 million on rib-eye steak or they’re going to take “our” money!
>An analysis by the government watchdog Open the Books found that the department led by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth spent more than $93 billion in September 2025, the end of the fiscal year, on various grants and contracts, the highest total since at least 2008.
>Included in this spending was $2 million on Alaskan king crab last September alone, as well as $6.9 million on lobster tail and $1 million on salmon. The Defense Department also spent nearly $140,000 on doughnuts, $124,000 on ice cream machines, $26,000 on sushi preparation tables, and a whopping $15.1 million on ribeye steak.
…
This reportedly included spending $1.8 million on musical instruments, such as a $98,329 Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, a $26,000 violin, and a $21,750 custom handmade Japanese flute.
>The Pentagon found a way to spend more than $12,000 on fruit baskets, as well as a total of $3,160 on stickers featuring beloved children’s characters from *Dora the Explorer, Frozen, and Paw Patrol*. The department also spent $5.3 million on Apple devices, including purchasing 400 of the more expensive 512-gigabyte edition iPad Air M3s rather than cheaper models with less storage.
…
The data showed that the Defense Department spent more than $225 million on furniture, the highest level since 2014, including one chair that cost $1,844. Since 2008, the DOD has spent an average of $257.6 million on furniture every September.

To be fair, he looks like the kind of guy that has crabs.

(Checks notes) oh the crabs from the sea not the kind you need a special comb and shampoo to get rid of.
You never know with this lot.

I’ve got a big bag of crabs here!
I’m gunna to put them in my mouth… oh yeah!
I’m gunna run around the town on a market day.
Everyone will look at me and say… I’ve got a mouth full of crabs!
I hope they left some crabs for me after I get drafted to fight in the Everwar.

I question paying taxes this year.

We should get rid of the use-it-or-lose-it rules that encourage this wasteful spending.
Departments that come in under budget should get small bonus paid to everyone in the department. Can you imagine the incentive effect if even 10% of $93 billion had been paid to DOD employees as a bonus?

That must have been a really bad case of crabs. Hope he got it cured.

I just want healthcare. I’ve been working since I was 13 and have had one week long vacation and a month of combined leave when I was in the military.
I just want to be able to take a break from working without me and my family fucking dying.

Remember folks, all us poors should be eating the bad cuts of meat and liver! Or a tortilla, twig of broccoli and a chicken tender.

Must be nice. Every second this administration is in office, they’re robbing us one way or another.
purpleflowergang on
They told us a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, and a tortilla should be sufficient for our daily peasant needs. Oh, and liver or whatever other cheap organ meats RFK Jr deems we’re worth.
