Hegseth priority list includes worrying about Pizza…..

The lead paragraph does specify Petey was “joking”……sorry, not sorry, about the clickbait headline…….

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth jokingly said any surge in takeout deliveries to the Pentagon — a phenomenon that has accurately predicted the start of major geopolitical events — could be him ordering pizza “just to throw everybody off.”


However, the article raises a couple serious questions that both sides of Congress should answer. Such as:

-why is the Defense Secretary worried and watching pizza order websites? If it’s a concern, he has minions to do that. Why would he be wasting his time ordering pizza?

-Why should the Taxpayers fund late night food? In an era of desperation for reducing the budget, how many free meals do we pay for. At civilian jobs, you work late, you bring your own food or go buy your own.

-Ordering multiple pizzas at random times just to screw with a website certainly is a waste of Taxpayers money

-the X account the Pentagon is spending resources to monitor looks more like a joke than anything serious

-why do we give government employees free food anyway? They are overly compensated to begin with

-why is Hegseth wasting time talking about such nonsense as a Pizza report……he has better things to do. If a reporter asks about it, laugh and go to the next question…..ignore baiting questions

It just makes one wonder how much money is spent by the government everywhere for free food for people who are paid well enough to pay their own way………while those same well compensated people work to remove Soda and stuff from SNAP benefits…..

Craziness at the government once again……

Makes no sense to me. Free food to the Fatcats at the Pentagon, and Congress……stiff out poor people.

Love to see the Secretary of “War” has a good sense of humor whilst he spreads death and destruction across the globe. That pussy probably orders his pizza with pineapple.

Now guys, don't be mean.

He's obviously studying in preparation for his next job as a pizza delivery man.

Apparently the scouts have long standing agreements with the military that places scouting organizations on to military bases and are supported by military personnel.

So rather than dealing with purely military matters he goes out of his way to chastise a children’s group by threatening to remove them from military bases.

Is it just me or is this just the latest example of why he doesn’t have the ability to hold the office? That he is just not serious enough to handle the job.

Yes, the military supports the Scouts quite a bit. And Hegseth is too fucking dumb to understand how bad this makes him look. Many military bases...especially in other countries...provide facilities and other support for Scout troops to meet. If he actually withdraws support, they will not be able to meet on military posts and bases. That will piss off thousands of military members and support staff.

Weaponizing the military against Scouts. What a great way to support your troops, Petey.

The Pentagon has sufficient dining facilities to feed every US servicemember who is stationed there. It would not surprise me if the rotating menu includes pizza every Friday.

There is no need to 'order' pizza.
