In a prayer delivered by US Defense Secretary Hegseth during a Pentagon worship service yesterday, he read the fake Ezekiel 25:17 verse from “Pulp Fiction" that Samuel L. Jackson’s character recited just before he shoots a man to death.

Those are simply alternative facts that were cited.

@KanaMauna @newsguyusa this almost beats the time in Sunday school when I tried to ask a question about the Six Day War but came up with the War of Five Armies

To be clear, he didn't quote it exactly. Rather, he appropriated its structure without crediting its source. He plagiarized, is what I'm saying. He plagiarized to display his uniquely moronic incompetence. The incompetence is the point.

“Bring out the gimp.”
“The gimp is sleeping.”
“Well, we’re just going to have to wake him up. He has a prayer service to lead.”

Hey, what about the BAN , eh ?

[europa112@mastodon.social]

@newsguyusa I'm curious. What has to happen before the US gets rid of this farcical administration? The fuse is already burning short.

@newsguyusa

Ezekiel is such a funny choice for a fake quote too. I like 16:49 which DIRECTLY labels the sins of sodom for the idiots who couldn't figure it on their own. (Hint: It was being a Republican and nothing at all to do with gay people)

This was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters had pride, plenty of food, and comfortable security, but didn't support the poor and needy.

@newsguyusa There's a German (dialect) saying: "Herr, schmeiss Hirn rah!" = "God, please throw brain from heaven". It's used when someone is extremely like Hegseth = a stupid zero.

Guess he should have had Jesus-trump go over his speech before he gave it.

@newsguyusa you really can't make this stuff up. Each day it gets more and more surreal.
