that now the US is in no position to condemn any of our adversaries for human rights abuses, election fraud, corruption, and now, stealing from their own people. They come off as hypocrites at best, and ass clowns -- like Hegseth here -- at their stupid worst.

That is over 2X more than Iran’s gdp.

Iran’s defense budget is around $40 billion a year. We spend 25X more and we can’t solve them militarily. Someone’s getting good bang for the buck and it’s not you Petey.

supplanted as dumbest Trump Cabinet member by Markwayne "Oklahoma Crude" Mullin, who is dumber than a crateful of hammers.

But Hegseth is still abysmally dumb, none the less. And he is in a much better position to use his stupidity to terrible ends.
