Concerns are mounting over Trump’s pick to lead the Pentagon, Fox News host and military veteran Pete Hegseth. CBS News reports that Hegseth was one of 12 National Guard members who were removed as guards for President Biden’s 2021 inauguration over possible extremist ties. Hegseth has tattoos associated with the white supremacist and neo-Nazi movements, including what’s known as a Jerusalem cross, a symbol used by Christian nationalists. In related news, the government watchdog Accountable.US announced it’s launching a “Trump Accountability War Room” to monitor Trump’s appointments and executive actions as he takes up his second term.

        My wife is a tattoo artist, and lots of people do.

        But, he isn’t one of those people.

                My butt cleavage is pretty uneventful. I got that put there to give the colonoscopy techs a laugh.

                  I got mine because I figured it would be good for bets.

                  “Hey random person at the bar, I bet you a drink I have your name tattooed on my ass”

                  I don’t drink anymore though.

                  Funnily enough, I did have a colonoscopy recently, and I did not mention my tattoo beforehand. Afterwards, when I regained consciousness, I told them I hoped anything I had said before being aware was harmless and entertaining, and the nurse said “You were plenty entertaining” :(
