Hegseth prays at Pentagon service for ‘overwhelming violence’ against enemies

Remarks come after Hegseth calls for changes to military’s chaplain corps, which he said had been ‘watered down’

@Remittancegirl Too much cowardice in the land of the brave, I fear.
@Eetschrijver yes indeed! Also, how are you, my friend?
@Remittancegirl Good day dear! I'm actually fine. Got some very good news from a medical professional yesterday which in a nutshell was, no, you're not imagining things, measurements say you're doing significantly better.
So I guess I'm in a celebratory mood. 🎶🥳😊🇫🇷
@Remittancegirl Tell me you were bullied at school without telling me you were bullied at school.

Reads like someone's muse is the Alcoholics Anonymous Serenity Prayer

Let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation,” Hegseth said in the prayer service. “Give them wisdom in every decision, endurance for the trial ahead, unbreakable unity, and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.”

If it had been written by an unholy sadistic sonofabitch.

@EricBono spot on! Incisive reading!

@EricBono

Funny how Jesus said "Blessed are the merciful", not "Blessed are the overwhelmingly violent". Maybe he was misquoted.

@EricLawton @Remittancegirl

If Christianity were real magic, these blaspheming bros would be struck by lightning by now. I'm not a Christian and even I know you're exactly right. Jesus's message is love and that is the foundation of their entire belief system ffs. These charlatans haven't even cracked open the cliff notes.

If we had sectioning in Amerika 90% of the population would be in mental health service centers.

Kinda like in PKD’s We Can Build You.

The War Prayer

Read the full text of The War Prayer by Mark Twain. A searing antiwar parable so powerful that Twain withheld it from publication during his lifetime, fearing public reaction. Includes free study guide with quiz questions.

American Literature

@Remittancegirl Trebuchet, with extra points for distance and accuracy.

The "spluge" at the landing point would be gruesome, but yet, somehow satisfying.

@c_merriweather this is an excellent secondary option
@Remittancegirl a Christian nationalist colonizer, drunk by violence and power.
@Remittancegirl Of course if there was any decency at all within US Evangelical Christian circles, instead of a 'Let's-make-it-up-as-we-go-along' attitude, such people wouldn't feel empowered to open their mouths.
@hoare_spitall Historically, decency has never actually been the purview of the US Evangelical movement

@Remittancegirl @Npars01

I've been saying this for a long time: Anyone who has had a lobotomy should not be allowed to hold public office.

@Remittancegirl

He is just not normal, just like his orange boss…. Creeps…

@xs4me2 I don't need people to be normal. Indeed, I don't think anyone even close to normal pursues a career in politics.

I just need them to be humane.

@Remittancegirl

Humane, even that is too much to ask with psychopaths like Trump, Putin and some others...

There used to be a time when politicians (at least in the Netherlands) were normal... I still remember. In those times they were also knowledgeable and had a sense of decency... sounds like a fairytale nowadays in a large part of the world...
