"The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men," Hegseth prayed.

"Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherd the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.

"And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother. And you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee, and amen."

It's already bad enough that they have sermons in government buildings, but then it's with this kind of content?

Chefs kiss.

Pentagon sermon

If that doesn't scare the shit out of you, it should

"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.

I wish Samuel Jackson would appear and recite that quote to him

I fucking bet he wrote the speech with a fucking LLM. That’s exactly the kind of mistake they make.

Fake bible verse from a total fake - surprised?

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...

I can imagine satisfaction from accomplishing a military mission.

I cannot imagine satisfaction from being force-fed BS from a racist lunatic.

There should be no place for religion in politics. Keep that diseased shit to yourself.
