    On that note, I’m looking for volunteers to scale the great ice wall with me. We will prove the earth is flat and the governments have been lying to us (for no reason). /s

    You can imagine the queues of smart people waiting in line to copy his homework when he was at school.

    Is this the Onion?

    I mean, I wouldn’t doubt it’s real, but it surely sounds like a joke.

      I wondered too. Holy sweet illiterate baby Jesus… it’s real

      Fox News host Pete Hegseth has said on air that he has not washed his hands for 10 years because “germs are not a real thing”.

      Speaking on Fox and Friends, Hegseth said the infectious micro-organisms did not exist because they could not be seen with the naked eye.

      “I inoculate myself,” added the Harvard and Princeton graduate.

      His remarks came after co-hosts Ed Henry and Jedediah Bila made fun of him for eating left-over pizza.

      “My 2019 resolution is to say things on air that I say off air,” Hegseth added.

        Jfc.

        Fuck that guy. Seriously.

        But we should read the fucking article if we’re going to quote it.

        Next sent sentence:

        Mr Hegseth later told USA Today that his remarks were intended to be a joke.

        Maybe he was covering his ass, maybe it was a joke. But this is like the last thing on an incredibly long list of things to try and go after for.

    Read this in a tired state of mind and wondered why Hegseth would deny the existence of germans. But I guess there are less germans than germs, so it would be more plausible to do this, than to deny germs.

    I should go back to bed.
