Jesus Effing Christ! And they are a captive audience, they cannot walk out of the BS without consequences.

More important, today is Terry Pratchett Day. Get a big hat, and forget the Grags (if you know, you know). At least the thieves and murderers of Ankh-Morpork were registered.

If there’s one bright side about this, it’s that Iran’s propaganda machine will definitely have a hilarious response to it.
A Lego Eminem-inspired diss track aimed at Trump, Kid Rock, and crew is incoming I’m certain.
Could be worse. At least there is no record of Kid Rock ever shitting himself to avoid the draft.
Wikipedia
Great Bouncing Cthulhu! Who the hell arraigned this travesty? This is beyond degeneracy.
Does the Pentagon not have security guards, or at least bouncers, on the doors to stop random passing clowns from just wandering in?
Surely we’re in The Onion territory here. This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Does he have any military experience? What could he possibly say of any usefulness?
Remember, this is the Reality TV Administration. Experience doesn’t matter, only spectacle.
But hey, maybe we’ll get lucky and Vance will get sent to Israel to try to rally support for Benji.
He can certainly teach them how to shoot the fuck out of a case of beer.
Hegseth arranged this. Gave him a helicopter ride, too,
@8 microraptor
I have been hoping he would be sent to Moscow to meet with Putin.
I looked over Kid Rock’s Wikipedia page and didn’t see anything about military service.
Reginald Selkirk @ #3 — Kid Rock is too young to have faced the draft that Dumpster dodged. And he’s too old to face the draft Dumpster just put in place.
Wonder how much Kid Rock was paid by the DoD for this little chat?
@12 robro
That was a reference to Ted Nugent.
Joan Jett Deflects Ted Nugent Criticism, Cites 1977 High Times Interview
Maybe Ted Nugent and Kid Rock could lead the assault on Kharg Island, followed by Qeshm Island and then the Iranian mainland. First, they will need to shoot up some cases up Bud Light.
@12 robro – i wondered if he got paid, and if he did, have fa-kin desperate is he. Desperate stupid and greedy all fit him.
I think it would be better if they went with Iron Maiden’s “The Trooper” (about the Charge of the Light Brigade) or Metallica’s “One” (based loosely on Trumbo’s Johnny Got His Gun).
Kid Rock is way out of his depth. How many US soldiers did we break in Iraq?
stuffin @ #14 — I don’t wonder “if” he got paid, but how much. I can’t imagine a guy like him doing anything for Hegseth without getting something out of the public coffers besides a helicopter joy ride.
PZ posted correctly: ‘Gave him a helicopter ride, too,’
I note: pighseth and kid schlock each had their own helicopter with a chauffeur pilot and it costs about $1000.00 per hour of taxpayer money just to fly the dam things. I can only hope that they will take some devastating kid schlock advice that screws things up more. Such as has resulted in the largest, most powerful and expensive aircraft carrier in the world that has fires that take way too long to control, the toilets back up and the crew is starving, eating gray mystery meat.
To paraphrase Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP: ‘Oh, and fellow babies; Death Spiral!’ I’ve got lots of computers to refurbish, so, out of here.
So when will the true military leaders get around to court marshal Keggy for this?
Kid Rock addressing the Pentagon? Are you kidding? This has to be AU fakery. Either that or they’ve given up taking it seriously because they know they’re going to get hammered in the midterms. I’m waiting for Patel to be the next to get chopped,
seversky, it’s real.
PZ didn’t link it, but the OP’s image source is https://x.com/SpencerHakimian/status/2048953886078038466 which was taken by a staff photographer and first released by Hegseth.

(PS AU is gold ;)
I far prefer my nonsense words from crazy old Uncle Al Jourgenson of Ministry in ‘Jesus Built My Hotrod’ over Kid Rock’s pedophilia-promoting ass
I hate to say this, but it’s probably a scam to pay him a bunch of money for a speaking fee or performance fee.
Ted Nugent probably wasn’t free.
I fear the Iran war will end in the worst possible way.
I predict that there will be a ground invasion that goes disastrously wrong killing a lot of Americans and that Trump will then use that as an excuse to use The Bomb.
I desperately hope I am wrong but Trump, Shadow POTUS Miler and Netanyahu are all evil and stupid enough to do that and will refuse to accept or allow themselves to lose to the Iranians. What or who will stop them? Please, tell me. Hope someone or something does.
Hope the peace process can go ahead and end with a reasonable solution and end to this war but, well, I wish I believed that was more likely to work than I do.
So I see. For some reason I found it more shocking than many of the shocking things this administration has done.
I know. I meant AI. Blame sloppy typing and proofreading. ;)
That could happen, although I don’t think it is too likely.
What the American and Israeli attacks on Iran have done is about the opposite of what they were intended to do.
No one launches major all out attacks nations that have nuclear weapons.
Nations such as Israel, Pakistan, North Korea, or India.
What we have done with the Iranian nuclear bomb program is make an option into a necessity.
Trump just flat out said, we were going to erase Iranian civilization and bomb them back to the stone age, genocide.
They are now more likely to keep working on their nuclear weapons, rather than less likely.
Their nuclear program wasn’t that well thought out anyway.
If they get nuclear weapons, the next country to go nuclear would most likely be their main enemies, the Gulf Arabs and Saudi Arabia.
It actually was, but there were competing forces at play.
The Ayatollah decries nukes as bad. Haram.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatwa_against_nuclear_weapons)
Having nukes is the best deterrent.
(https://www.chathamhouse.org/2026/03/iran-war-risks-triggering-new-wave-nuclear-proliferation)
Basically, their apparent plan for a long time was to get to the point where they had the wherewithal to make weapons in a short time if needed, but not to actually make them. Breakout capability as leverage.
@ ^ John Morales : Whic worked withevery POTUS up till Trump.
Netanyahu amd e hiscase for war on Iran to every one of them in his lifetime and only Trump was evil and foolish enough to buy it. That was mentioned among other places in Colbert’s interview with Newsum a week or three ago.
@ ^ Which worked with every POTUS till Trump..
Well, yes, StevoR, but that is orthogonal to the point.
Point being that Iran’s nuclear strategy worked until it failed (yes,Trump failed), but it was not the case that it “wasn’t that well thought out anyway”. It was a compromise, a balancing act.
Many aspects to the way the USA is being fucked by Trumpism, which spills globally.
e.g. Trump also has utterly and permanently fucked up USA’s international soft power, BTW.
That is, IMO, even more consequential.
e.g. Even more so, the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretton_Woods_system is another casualty.
(I could go on, but the point was about Iran’s supposed vacillations… that’s Trump’s purview)
