I know this is “old news”, but ohhhh, guys and gals. I heart Jen Psaki. She is *so* smart and *so* knowledgeable, and has a marvelously wicked sense of humor. I think we all remember how well she did as Biden’s Press Secretary. Again, she shows no mercy! With thanks to Raw Story:
MS NOW’s Jen Psaki kicked off Wednesday’s edition of “The Briefing” by taking Trump’s Pentagon chief to task for a bizarre anti-press fixation, at a moment when he should have far more important things on his mind. “I have something to show you,” said Psaki. “This something is something that the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, really, really does not want you to see. And it’s probably not what you’re thinking.”
“I mean, it’s not a top secret war plan that Pete Hegseth accidentally posted in a chat, which there’s still been no accountability for,” said Psaki. “It’s not photos showing top Trump national security officials checking Twitter in the middle of a military operation. Those exist. It’s not even this footage of Pete Hegseth ringing in the New Year during his previous life as an anchor for Fox News … Those things all exist. But it’s not, it’s not any of those things.”
She comes out of the gate guns blazing! Petey Boy has bigger fish to fry, and he’s not doing too well with it anymore. This is what happens when he has all ego and no common sense, let alone intelligence. The tide is turning the wrong way in the Iran war. But Petey Boy doesn’t want you to see something. *snort* Couldn’t be any worse than what we’ve already seen. Now, back to Ms. Psaki.
“Now, the thing Pete Hegseth really does not want you to see is this photo, that one right there, the one on your screen, (I think it’s the one I found up top), Pete Hegseth at a Pentagon briefing, furrowing his brow as he takes questions about Trump’s war of choice in Iran,” said Psaki. “And the reason I know that Pete Hegseth doesn’t want you to see this photo is that The Washington Post is reporting that the Defense Department has now banned press photographers from the Pentagon briefing room over photos his staff has deemed unflattering.”
Ha. Ego, thy name is Petey Boy. He has *plenty* of “unflattering” pictures out there already. Apparently, this one is Not Good because he’s now the secretary of defense (none of that “war” nonsense). I refuse to capitalize it as it should be. So now that he has this fancy position, he has to look good All The Time. He already has a damn makeup studio. Now it seems he has to learn how to keep his face still. Yea no.
“Just to take a step back here, which is always necessary when you’re talking about Pete Hegseth and really a lot of things in this administration,” said Psaki. “The United States is on the 12th day of a war with Iran, and with everything that the Secretary of Defense has on his plate right now, the thing he is focused on is whether or not press photographers are getting his good side. It seems the former Fox News weekend host apparently has very strong feelings about it.”
That’s ridiculously petty. Everyone has “unflattering” pictures show up, even you and me. It doesn’t mean you’re a lesser person. It just means it’s a bad picture. For Petey Boy to be flailing about something this ridiculous *is* ridiculous. He needs to quit fussing about nonsense and talk to his military generals about how to continue handling this war. He needs to do his damn *job*. It’s no surprise we don’t respect him even the tiniest bit.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise that among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
My first thought was that he’s incredibly vain. I saw another pic of his profile and his lips were doing very unattractive things. Similar to tRump, he might want to think about the faces he makes in public settings. Just a thought…
Ahahaha yes, I know!!! He needs to freeze his face when he’s in public. Too bad we know he can’t 😉
Maybe he needs to spend a few hours a week with Melania getting some tips on how to “freeze his face.”
OMG *falls over laughing* you folks are half killing me here!
The ego has landed.
*groooooooan* ehehehehe
Slicky Pete, that is what I call him. Like Tricky Dick from another age.
