Ron Filipkowski just now on bluesky talking about Hegseth's recent addition of a make-up studio at the Pentagon.
But, but....I thought the emphasis was supposed to be on anti-woke "masculine energy"? Guess not. Then again, it's certainly not on national defense either as the second signalgate scandal proves.
So I guess this isn't really a joke. It's just the sad, pathetic truth. And it's also another example of how easily the maga faithful are fooled by an aggressive male control freak.

If this doesn't get the nation laughing than I may join the doom and gloomers who see no hope for the future. This maybe the most ridiculous thing I've heard ever, but the GOP clowns keep challenging me on that. Seriously, a make up studio in the Pentagon. That is so embarrassing. I'm sure that will help keep us safe, but only because the rest of the world will be laughing their heads off at the US Military.

Once on DU, in 2016, I dared to suggest addressing his, shall we say, lack of heteronormativity. I was roundly excoriated.
But the Right would never leave any cudgel lying unused, because they don't care about hypocrisy; they care about power.
We're supposed to be better than that, and here we are. Powerless.

Providing evidence he's a rapist felon in Putin's jock strap does nothing, but mocking men in drag would put Dems in power? That's an example of Democrats fighting for our rights?

(726 posts)"how's my eyeliner", Vance. We all know the Felon won't share anything, including his tanning make-up. So much denial, so frustrated. How in the f.ck do they get male support in the south?

I thought these guys were all about bringing back the tough guy image.
