I don't get this, any other meth head who is not kid rock would do a better job.

[–] yenahmik@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The more time goes on, the more I'm convinced the Mayans were right and the world really did end in 2012. Everything since has been a slow decent into absurdism.

Also Dr. Phil, a proud immigrant genocide and Autistic murder supporter.

I wonder why they haven't also started genociding/deporting idiots... Oh wait... yeah that's why.

From https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/kid-rock-address-pentagon/

The image is real and U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared it on social media. However, the caption claiming Kid Rock addressed the Strait of Hormuz was fabricated, originating in an X post from a user who has shared fictional and humorous content.

[–] Stormy@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Hold on, the image of kid rock standing at a podium with his mouth open in front of a microphone with a bunch of soldiers sitting listening is real, but kid rock didn't talk to them?

[–] 8oow3291d@feddit.dk 1 points 2 hours ago

And I can't imagine those Generals would attend that talk, except to suck up to Trump/Hegseth.

So still looks really pathetic and bad. But Kid Rock probably didn't give them military advice about Hormuz.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 26 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

This is more an indictment of your high ranking officers than of the Trump administration.

Look at those cowardly, servile lapdogs sitting there allowing themselves to be addressed in the Pentagon by Kid Rock.

[–] tacoplease@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

I'd rather announce to the room that my explosive diarrhea is preventing me from attending and embarrassing myself than actually attending.

[–] djdarren@piefed.social 40 points 1 day ago

Kid Rock looks like a man who's only allowed to see his kids every other weekend, but doesn't.

Idiocracy is real.

[–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 23 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

This world is post-satire. The Onion can close shop.

I wanna see what they do with Infowars now that they're buying it

In Idiocracy they actually valued an intelligent person and wanted him to lead them. We're living through the prequel, we even have "ow, my balls" (jackass)

Fully devolving into “random idiot’s opinion is better than expert analysis.”

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We're nearly at peak Idiocracy levels.

I'm curious what advice Mr. Kid Rock had for the admirals and generals.

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

Prepare for war "all summer long"

[–] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 11 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Bawa dibba dibba dibba doo waa. Or something.

How things have changed. My childhood best friend was my pastor's son and I remember him sneakily buying Kid Rock's "Devil Without A Cause" while on a church trip and hiding it because such music was considered demonic. Now Kid Rock is held up by the same people who populated my childhood church as an exemplar of conservative values or whatever? FOH

I came here hoping for someone calling this out as AI slop....unfortunately, this is apparently real.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 50 points 1 day ago (3 children)

This is insulting. Also, being forced to listen to Kid Rock speak on any topic is cruel and unusual punishment.

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Emperor Caligula planned to make his horse a consul. He also mocked the Praetorian guard, for example giving them watchwords which were intentionally insulting. It didn't work out well for him.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

They should be lectured to by people with experience. Bring in Adult Rock.

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 5 points 19 hours ago

Remember that the whole room is operating under orders.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 9 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

What the fuck. How is this real?

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

2/3rds of eligible voters in America allowed it.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 hours ago

If you include the non-voters, yes. If you're only counting trump voters, it's barely 1/3 of eligible voters.

Don't get me wrong, non-voters definitely share the blame. But let's not give credence to this idea that a majority of voters voted for trump.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

Another pedo and pedo protector in the Pentagon. WTF!?!?

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Is this real?

Fucin' hell if it is.

[–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 9 points 19 hours ago

Yup. It's on usa today and msn at least. Apparently they decided to spend a few tens of millions to fly kid rock and Hegseth around in apache helicopters.

F'n disgrace

Surely this will make the military be willing to do a coup on trumps account

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 15 points 1 day ago (9 children)

I was kind of going they would do a coup against him.

That's it. The USA is dead in the water. Time to learn Mandarin.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 5 points 21 hours ago

"Surely this is all fake?"

"No this is reality"

Is an experience I have every day.

They are just getting him primed for Secretary of Defense

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

I believe the term is "fluffed".
