Schmuck Of The Day – Pete Hague-seth

The Ugly Schmuckling

March 15, 2026

Holy War Hegseth has a problem, well, several. One is his alcohol-damaged brain. Another is his inability to separate alcohol church and state. The biggest problem is his gaping mouth. It just won’t shut. And the frothing feces it spews cannot be wiped away with any known solvents.

Hegseth has publicly dismissed concerns about international law, claiming he would ignore “stupid rules of engagement” and “politically correct wars”, spewing shit like “maximum lethality” and such. Even the spectacularly vapid and idiotic Donald Rumsfeld who held Hague-seth’s position during Bush/Cheney’s illegal, senseless and abysmal Iraq War was not so arrogantly ignorant and pathologically violent as Hague-seth.

Frank Zappa – Your Mouth 

Actually, Pete’s mouth is causing him even bigger problems by drooling literal war crimes. In a recent press tantrum, the secretary of excursions had this to say

“We will keep pressing. We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies.”


Declaring “no quarter” is, all by itself, a war crime. Arrest that schmuck!

Speaking of war crimes, Hague-seth’s first stop on Trump’s Iran Excursion was to bomb a girl’s school to smithereens. Then Trump blamed the Iranians. Even though all – and I do mean all – the evidence pointed to a U.S. Tomahawk missile. While all this was going on, Trump was urging Iranian protesters to rise up against their government. It seems more likely now that the Iranian people will be rising up to denounce Trump and his illegal, murderous campaign against Iran and the

Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump was asked about his vacation war in Iran:

Fux Noise idiot Brian Killmeade: “When are you going to know when it’s over?”

Headline Of The Day – Pete Hegstench, Secretary of Excursions

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Whines   

March 14, 2026


Wow, incompetent, arrogant
, psychotic and afraid of cameras.
Oh, and a wannabe war criminal.*

If the Secretary of Defenestration – Holy War Hegseth – wants more flattering pictures, he needs to stay out of them. Maybe he needs to spend more time in the make-up studio he had built for him at the Pentagon. According to Google, no other Secretary of Excursions even considered needing a makeup studio inside the Pentagon.

Bonus Hegstench Headline


If Dry-drunk Pete thinks pictures are unflattering, he should get a look at his expense account.

The above headline is a bit misleading. It wasn’t in 2025 that Pete spent $93 billion, it was in September of 2025. And the headline left out the fact that part of that was $15 million in steaks and $7 million in lobster tails. That must have been a serious all-you-can-eat. Oh, and a $98,000 grand piano for the Air Force chief-of-staff’s home.

He might be better off crawling back into his Fox hole.

We certainly would.

Crap Cap Flap

Many people were upset because Don Trump showed up at the Dignified Transfer – the return of the bodies of slain troops – that Trump caused to die in his ill-begotten unprovoked war with Iran wearing a baseball cap. Though Don was born in New York City, he is by all accounts trailer trash. He has plenty of money – much more today than when he was sworn at…I mean in, last January – but he is a tasteless, classless slob, whose always-limited mental faculties are rapidly dissolving. In any event, we should not be getting so upset by a classless idiot showing up to one of the most solemn duties any president is expected to perform wearing a highly undignified, disrespectful baseball cap. There are several reasons we should instead be thanking Der Leader: 1) the cap completely covered up his pathetic, ridiculous excuse for “hair”, 2) at least he was wearing pants, and 3) there were no reports of him very loudly passing gas during the ceremony (though since the transfer was held outdoors, the only one in danger would have been JD Vance whose lips are invariably puckered onto Trump’s exhaust valve.


Disintegrating Don checking to see if his diaper leaked

He Also Talks A Bad Game

While attempting to explain how all the myriad previous explanations fit together to make one really big, beautiful explanation, Trump is also trying to backtrack on calling his war a war by rebranding it an “excursion”. And all but claiming mission accomplished. Even though he previously described the worst-case scenario as one in which after all his obliterating and killing Iran’s supreme leader and stuff, Iran turned around and appointed a new supreme leader who is worse than the guy we killed and the dozen or so other guys we thought could take over Iran for us, but ended up killing on day one. Guess what happened next. Iran chose the son of the supreme leader we just killed. This son of an Ayatollah is not only 30 years younger than his father, but much nastier. So, given Iran’s history, there will certainly be revenge on their mind, and they have a long memory, so time will not heal this wound.

So, if “Death-To-America” Don’s mission was to lose the war, he can declare MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. Heck of a job Trumpie.

Trump couldn’t even be bothered to address the nation from the Remains of The White House, preferring to do his business at one of his bug-infested shithole golf shacks between golf wars…I mean exccusions. At least he wasn’t wearing his fucking baseball cap this time. He sent Vance and dry-drunk Pete to attend the latest Dignified Transfer of fallen soldier number seven in Trump’s fucked-up, made-up war – because Trump was busy hosting a fundraiser for MAGA Mike Johnson at his golf shack.

Trump will not rule out boots on the ground in Iran, just not boots with bone spurs in them. He is also teasing a draft, you know, like the one he dodged five times as a young asshole. Who doesn’t love a draft-dodging war monger? How soon before we begin hearing about Baron Trump’s bone spurs?

Question For The Day – Be Here All Along

It’s 2026. Do You Know Where Your Country Is?

March 13, 2026

Today, we present the question right up front, followed by the set-up. Hey, it’s a topsy-turvy world folks. Just trying to fit in.

Today’s Question For The Day:

How did we get here?

A few weeks ago, long before Demented Dipshit Don launched Operation Epic Failure in Iran, my aunt, my mother’s younger sister, who was born in Belgium in 1938 and landed at Ellis Island along with her parents in 1951 (one year after my mother immigrated), often talks politics with me. We regularly commiserate about the current state of despairs. During that recent chat she asked, “How did we get here?”

In a way, it’s a pretty straight line from Jump Street to Trump Street. Day One, we murdered millions and millions of the land’s original inhabitants and took their land. Then we dragged more millions from their homes across the ocean and treated them worse than animals. Neither one of these crimes against humanity has really ended to this day. And we have never, as a nation, attempted to make amends or reparations or apologize.

It has been said the Hitler’s concentration camps were modeled after America’s Indian reservation system. American returned the compliment by creating Japanese internment camps, and now, the Fascist/Trump/Epstein regime is trying to build concentration camps for mostly innocent immigrants.

Yet people keep saying, “This is not who we are.” They insist Donald Trump and his fascist fuckwits are not who we are. Well guess what, despite all the sick, criminal, seditious, insane, dementia-addled shit Trump has perpetrated upon this nation and the world, there are still more than one third of Americans, along with 52 senators and 218 House members, and very consistently six Supreme Court justices, who continue to all-but-literally (as far as we know) kiss his ass.

Bonus Question:

How and when can we be somewhere else?

Dr. Dementia Does It Again

Reporter: “Have you been briefed about how many Iran sleeper cells there could be inside the U.S. right now?

“I have been, and a lot of people came in through Biden and his stupid open border. But we know where most of them are. We’ve got our eye on all of them, I think.”
                         
Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump, March 12,

Just so I have this straight, Deportation Donny knows there are what he is making sound like many sleeper cells on our soil. They are, I’m assuming, not here waiting for the next Star Trek convention.

He says “we know where MOST of them are”, and that we have “our eye on ALL of them”. He thinks. Pretty good trick – they even have their eyes on the ones they don’t know about. So, why the fuck haven’t they rounded all, or even most, of them up and deported them? If only there was some sort of government agency who knew how to grab people wherever they may be and ship them overseas, or at least lock them up in some inhumane warehouse, or maybe even shoot them in the face or in the back.

Is it possible Trump is lying?

Persian Diversion Excursion

All The Noise That’s Fucked To Print

March 11, 2026

Many people are saying things. Some people are doing things. Some of those things are based on the things they said. Some of those things are based on things other people said. It all adds up to a rollicking good fucking time…for someone. Probably not you. Definitely not me.

Sky News reporter: Is Russia going to be neutral in this?

Russian ambassador to the UK: We are not neutral. No, we are not neutral. We are supportive to Iran, of course. And we consider, as I have said, very negatively what is being done.

U.S. ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz: If they are providing anything, it certainly hasn’t been very effective.

Trump’s longtime friend/idiot/special envoy to bend over for Russia Steve Witkoff: Yesterday on the call with the president, the Russians said that they have not been sharing. That’s what they said, so we can take them at their word.

Damaged Don: We want them to have a good leader. We have some people who I think would do a good job. We have some people who think I would do a good job.

A good leader is not the only thing Don wants for Iran. El Trumpo is planning to help fund Iran’s war effort. Yes, you heard that right. This was previously shared in this space by way of footnote. This has taken on a larger life and is directly related to the above quote by the Russian ambassador to the UK.

Drool, Baby Drool

It seems that Drooling Don determined it would be easier to attack everyone who has oil – except of course Russia – than to waste all that time dredging up domestic oil…for now. First Venezuela, then Iran. Despite all this, those clearly not in the know are looking into tapping into our Strategic Oil Reserves

Trump, the lone individual responsible for cutting off the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, has just figured out that stopping oil shipments through the straits, causes oil shipments through the strait to stop. Not to be out-dumbed, Trump decided to lift the oil embargo on Russia. Russia, was, as everyone living and dead knows, instrumental in getting Trump elected in 2016. Now that they have their stooge (apologies to stooges everywhere) where they need him to be, they are publicly making it clear that they will not support their mentally challenged plant in his stupid war against Iran.

So what we have here is Trump blowing shit up, then realizing there are consequences to blowing that shit up, and like the Titanic approaching its nemesis iceberg, does not have the wherewithal to change direction. As if that was not bad enough, Trump is now funding the Iranian war effort via Russian oil assets that Trump is personally ensuring can resume by ending the embargo.

Was Trump’s invasion of Iran just for Russia’s benefit? Did Donny want to burn up our munitions so we don’t have any to sell Ukraine? Why did Doomsday Don call Putin for an hour without telling anyone? We only learned about the call because the Russians told everyone.

The call was followed by a golf-side chat, where our part-time-war-time president finally lowered himself to address the American people and explain what his fucking war was all about. Apparently he learned a new word first – “excursion”. One definition of ‘excursion’ is “pleasure trip.” So now we know how Good-Time Donny likes to spend other people’s time. Unfortunately, he has to personally sit this one out on account of bone spurs. But, he’s happy to enjoy his pleasure trip vicariously.

Here’s The Worst-Case Scenario You Ordered, Sir

“I guess the worst case would be we do this, and then somebody takes over who’s as bad as the previous person, right? That could happen. We don’t want that to happen. That would probably be the worst. You go through this and then in five years you realize you put somebody in who was no better.”*
                              Dumb-old Trump, March 3, 2026


 
The war is “very complete, pretty much”

Oh, and as predicted Der Furor pronounced his war, I’m sorry, excursion, “very complete, pretty much” despite the fact that what he described as the “worst-case” scenario – the replacement of a nasty supreme leader by a nastier supreme leader in Iran – having come to pass very quickly. And despite Dry-drunk Pete barking, “This is only just the beginning.”

It is probably time to stop messing around and just have everyone wrap their lips around a nearby exhaust pipe. Why drag this out. It’s time to let the rest of creation live in health and peace.
