Pete Hegseth, persona non grata in Normandy

[highplainsdem]

I don’t speak French, but I think this means the people in Normandy didn’t like Hegseth’s speech. You have be be a pretty colossal dipshit to screw up a D-Day commemoration ceremony.

The headline translates to: "He has no place": Pete Hegseth, persona non grata in Normandy for the 82nd anniversary of the Landings.

1. There's just no bottom to these people and it's beyond embarrassing

2. Alcohol abuse can really do long-term damage to a poor guy's neurons

so, y'know, maybe folk with limited brains might wannabe kinda careful

Looking sideways at you as I say this, Pete ...

3. He's also another grifter.

He took his wife and six kids on an official visit, on our dime.

4. Thanks to the sane people in Europe for calling out this BS..

and thanks for the OP on this, highplainsdem.

This vet, who is the son of a vet, the son-in-law of a vet who came within inches of losing his life in a kamikaze attack, and the nephew of several uncles who fought in all theaters, condems this grandstanding excuse for a pimple on Mango Mussolini's behind.

5. Like his infamous leader

Hegseth truly has........"Shit For Brains"...........wonder how you say that in a way he can understand?........Pig Latin??????

6. It's not his place -- I think that is a more accurate translation

He has no business talking about things like that. It's not place.

8. Voila

He also, no doubt, reminds the elderly French who still remember those days of the very Nazis that brutalized their country (with the blessing of many in the French upper class).

And save for the fact that he doesn't speak a word of German, Hogshit must remind them of said Nazis physically, ideologically, and in any number of other ways.

7. The failed infantry officer and tabless beyotch

Fails again.
