Thinking is woke according to them I'm sure.

You can’t put Hegseth and think tank in the same sentence.

Thinking is too woke, after all.

Probably because there’s no one left at the Pentagon that is capable of thinking about anything other than when Happy Hour is and how to praise the orange overlord

SEC. HEGESETH...GUILTY OF GIVING OUT THE ... TOP SECRET TEXT...IF HE WERE A PERSON OF COLOR.. THEY WOULD EXPELL HIM FROM CONGRESS....

That's cuz the head of the Pentagon can't think

No more thinking at the Pentagon

Thinking. Who needs to do that?

The events conflict with happy hour.

No one thinks Field Marshal Headjob thinks

Since when has "Thinking" ever been #PissHeadPetes thing?

our generals have always been required to obey directives from the commander in chief. this is further proof of his intention to seize the military's loyalty & to use it against the american citizens. hegseth, during confirmation hearing, stated that he would obey orders to open fire on civilians.

It's astoundingly damaging to turn over the Pentagon to the Know Nothing party.

Absolutely handing the Pentagon to those who ignore expertise risks not just damage, but national security itself.

"we have tanks, we don't think"

I mean, thinking isn’t this regimes strong point

Lack of perspective leads to poor choices.

Exactly when you can’t see the bigger picture, you end up drawing the wrong conclusions.

They make it so easy to drag them.

😂🤣 well of course they had to cancel. No thinkers in that entire group

No thinkers left…

It turns out nobody could think.

When Kegsbreath heard "think tanks", he thought that they were tanks powered by AI.

Pentagon? Think tank? Running on empty 🙄

Easy to do when thinking isn’t your strongest trait.

True some folks skipped thinking class altogether and went straight to winging it!

Probably starting a "blame the other guy" think tank

That's what the Heritage Foundation does already. Not all of Donalds dumb ideas come from his head.

Heritage Foundation’s idea factory is working overtime no wonder some ideas feel recycled!

Remind us, Politico, what "globalism" is code for?

In the past week Trump seemed to think that think tanks are actual tank-like buildings where people go to think. Obviously Hegseth is just as stupid!

Because the last thing Trump wants is for the military to think.

Think tank. A self description of expectation. The problem.? Not enough brain cell between Hegseth and the rest of Trump cabinet to fill a thimble.

america first is xenophobic isolationism

America First’ often comes across less as patriotism and more as shutting out the world.

yes indeed there is a delusion that the us can survive on its own

No nation thrives in isolation global interdependence is the reality, not a weakness.

hence the term...delusion

Think Tank events suspended due to Kegsbreath's drunk tank events.

Guess the think tanks need a breathalyzer before every event now!

In other words, “no tanks”

☝️💥 Maybe not the entire Pentagon, but the axe-throwing specialist is definitely out of place. 👺🪓 He doesn't have his own brains, so what can he do? ☹️ It's clear - Pete Hegseth ☠️🪓 asks the AI in a "secure" computer what steps to take. 👽🫥 We see the content of the decisions...

Of course they did. They couldn’t understand the concept.

Couldn’t find anyone left in hegseth’s administration who can think?

Seems like the thinking talent all RSVP’d ‘no’ for that team

Seems short sighted

The comments write themselves.

I thought this was an Onion headline!

I WISH this was an Onion headline!😵‍💫😵‍💫

The tank was dry in more ways than one.

Cuz they didn’t have anybody left who could actually think.

I doubt much thought went into this decision.

Clever

There is no place for Thinking in the Trump Administration

He doesn’t want to go because he knows he is not smart enough and they will make fun of him. He’s like 47, he gets his little feelings hurt real fast.The admin doesn’t want him to go because he’ll probably say something stupid. Better to keep him on Fox talking about basically nothing as usual.

Thinking gives Hegseth a headache.

Thinking is for wimps?

😒

Ruh roh. We are going to be … so. screwed.

Yeah, you can’t have people in this administration thinking.

Due to cornea problems.

Stupid reason but think tanks suck so this is a good thing

Obviously the reason for the TRUMP administration suspending participation in THINK tanks is that it could actually require some THINKING.

Too hard for this admin

Hegseth doesn’t need them to look dumber than a rock.

You have to be capable of thinking to participate.

It’s cause the tank was empty, wasn’t it…..

There's no one around who can think independently from tRump's crusty ass.

Thinking is not allowed.

Can't have any of that there thinkin....

Of course, Pete Hegseth knows it all. Why participate in discussions with others who have different ideas?

He also doesn't think, or know how to — so why bother?

" Pentagon suspends participation in think tank events." Old news. It hasn't participated in anything involving thought since Hegseth took over.

I am pretty sure Hegseth has never been in any think tank.

Pentagon think tank...is an oxymoron. The Pentagon is full of morons, who aren't able to think...

REALLY????????? THAT is the "trumpy dumpy NAZI REGIME"....... Plain & Stupid, TYPICAL

Very isolationist mentality and dangerous for our National Security. So our "allies" and foes will meet discussing cooperation and their next moves on the world stage without the Pentagon input. It is a recipe for disaster.

How many NATO operations have you participated in?

I stand by what I said do you have anything productive to add or are you triggered by the reality of my statement? FYI you never call your friends evil & open it up for your enemies to have open dialogue with them without you... it's not a smart move... www.aspensecurityforum.org/aspen-securi...

Dunno I did as I was told as a soldier. I did not ask questions I did my job which was handling cargo...

This is a result of having a fascist government. Only the Orange Griftweasel can make decisions, which paralyzes everybody beneath him. They can’t make decisions until they’re told what to think. So thinking with other people can only result in disloyalty, hence listening to allies is a waste.

This is beyond the cult or fascism. All source intelligence activities requires mixing with everyone in every form of government. Isolating with blinders is a good way to miss the obvious. Also, deterrence only works if your capabilities (real or perceived) are advertised to the world.

Right, in a normal world. In a fascist state mixing with others is dangerous because you might pick up good ideas that aren’t the Dear Leaders. Plus the only capability you can tout is the greatness of the Dear Leader. “Fear us because Dear Leader is great.”

Why? Does it make the Secretary of Push-up’s head hurt?

If the US is in an abusive relationship with Trump, He's hiding the US from all her friends

Anything to avoid public outrage over how they are governing

He found out it wasn’t a drink tank and got pissed.

That's not the complete headline: Pentagon suspends participation in think tank events because thinking is too hard for the GOP.

Just the thought of thinking overwhelmed them

Too bad his daddy didn’t pull out when he should had.

Hegseth: I gotta say something smart??!! How do I do that?! Cancel any public forums where I have to speak.

Not like any of them are thinking anyway....

Looks like thinking’s on permanent vacation for that crew!

Plus, there's that whole "think" business...

Down with thinking!

Thinking isn't lethal or warrior-like, apparently

No brains, no glory !

Hegseth didn’t want it when he realized he’d have to THINK inside the tank.

This is what destroying the United States, from the inside for Russia, looks like

Makes sense who the hell has a brain in that place anymore

Pentagon has never thought rationally. Now thinking is irrelevant.

Maybe they skipped the ‘thinking’ step long ago and went straight to ‘confusing everyone.

So true. Hegseth doesn't need the distraction of thinking.

Why think when you can drink, right Pete?

For Pete a #ThinkTank is a two step process: Think about getting tanked and then get tanked.

So he always skips step 1?

Exactly. Step #1 is optional.

The jokes really do write themselves.

No, they're pulling out of the "think tank" events because of how badly they've been embarrassed at other group events requiring thinking. I mean, just consider who represents the American military: KEGSBREATH.

The best and the brightest they said. The most qualified they screamed, and yet 👀

They already suspended thinking.

Is this the same "globalism" that involves one man-baby dictating to other sovereign democratic nations what they can and cannot do? New-age globalism is when the world is under DT Snr's thumb.

Globalism was invented by American corporates looking for cheap labour to exploit.

They also, at the time, also pointed at the theory that the US outsourcing labour to cheap place was that this would help dev counties to develop economically. Which seemed a fair point. But now those countries have developed, the US doesn't like the competition.

How ironic.

The word THINK is “woke”!

The act of thinking is definitely not aligned with the policies of this “administration”.

Yeah. Heg is definitely light on the think and heavy on the tank(ed).

Drunken Scarecrow Hegseth has no brain .. so think tanks are pointless. The wizard in the bottom of the bottle can't help him with that, either !

When there are no intelligent thoughts there is no need to participate.

They don’t have the required equipment for a “think tank”.

Hard to run a think tank when everyone’s showing up with empty toolboxes.

That’s what happens when the people representing us can’t think for themselves

If it can make petey look like a chump, either fire his communications or just fkn drag up

If it makes Petey look that bad, it’s time for a serious communications overhaul or just cut the losses and move on.

Thinking was required. So not so choosing not to attend as much as it was. Qualifications not sufficient for attendance.

Thinking is woke.

This is so true.

Its clearly a contradiction at this point ... 🥴

More cessation of soft power, very stupid

Guess they kept getting answers they don't like.

Well, they’d have to think.

Because there isn’t any one left who can think?

Think about that.

Stupidity evidently knows no bounds.

Why?

Of course they, it would require Hegseth to form a thought which he is completely incapable of doing.

Hegseth’s thought process is still buffering… maybe one day it’ll fully load!

Well,thinking is a requisite in order to participate in those events. And the guy in that picture doesn't really excel in the thinking department.

Ya! They dont need no stickin' thinkin'!

Think tanks dodged a bullet because Pete Hegseth is incapable of thinking.

I need new friends

Makes perfect sense, there’s no commonality - Hegseth doesn’t think and the think tanks don’t have tanks.

It's like he heard the joke about Military Intelligence being an oxymoron and immediately shot back that there was no "Oxy" problem and then immediately removed "Oxy" from all military records.

"removed oxy from all military records" ...and then throw a hissy fit about how many "gens" the hospital system is using.

Because Hegseth doesn’t know how to think..

Don’t worry, no one’s under the impression that the US Government is capable of thinking anymore.

Yeah, if thinking were a budget item, it would’ve been cut years ago

Kegseth doesn’t think, so why would he participate? Jesus, we are doomed due to abject stupidity.

Probably safer for the world-guaranteed “no leaks”

That’s too easy😏

They have no policy. That’s why they can’t attend. Worst. Administration. Ever.

Thinking is hard.

That makes sense! Those who don't or can't think shouldn't pretend they can

Makes sense that Hegseth cancelled think tank events. It’s a meeting of wits and our Department of Defense would have to come unarmed.

Jokes write themselves.

Another fantastic move by the SecDef.

More drink, less think 🍸

thinking is not a currency they value

Thinking cancelled

Hegseth's DoD doesn't want "thinkers", they only want lap dogs.

Yeah! Thinking is woke!

Wouldn't want to do too much thinking there would you?

Now life has thrown me more than I can handle, and I would never reach out if this weren’t urgent. It weighs heavily on my heart — but I still trust in our compassion and shared humanity. Your kindness could make all the difference. If you can help🙏💙 gofund.me/0af928df

So they can do everything in the dark with no opportunity for anyone to get an explanation of their policies. Shady as shit.

No brains to think with?

So are they just going to call them tanks now given that thinking will no longer be a feature?

There will be no thinking in this administration!

“No thinking” is rule number one for employment.

Must’ve aced the interview by leaving every question blank

Thinking is woke don't you know?

What? No open bar???

Check his water, I bet is vodka

The face of a man battling a turtle head .

He has to be able to think in order to participate in a thing tank event

Globalists = Jews

They want more tank and less think.

Trump: "He has these think tanks. They build buildings for people that think."

Day Drunk is entirely too fucking stupid for think tanks. Besides, that bloviating dipshit belongs I a drunk tank.

In fairness, if Hegseth attends a think tank event, the jokes would write themselves. I am sure there’s a Klan rally or a mediocre White dude convention he can go to instead.

Really? Pete Heghog can’t think so he can’t go to think tanks?

Why? Did something happen?

Too tanked to think

couchfucKKKer nation

more like drunk tank

You have to be able to think first.

bsky.app/profile/atru...

When will the MSM print his words and then try and figure out what he’s saying?

Agree completely!

Probably right after they invent a decoder ring to translate his language!

BAD.

We can’t expect Hegseth to think. The eejit didn’t have two brain cells to rub together.

No SecDef we have ever had would be more out of place at a think tank.

Idiots don't think.

Did the KKK start showing up?

Good.

Because they don’t think.

Thinking is not allowed under this administration!

The jokes write themselves

Tell Hegseth that it's a Think "Tankard"...that ought to motivate him.

lethality can only be improved by jogging on omaha beach

Seeing as thinking has come to a halt at the Pentagon, this comes as no surprise.

‘Values of the administration’ lmfao

Are we sure he didn’t read it as “drunk tank” and is suspending out of fear of that happening, again?

I don't want a woke military that thinks.

I always wanted to work for a think tank, seems like a sweet gig… What do you do for worK, Guare? I think…possibly about tanks.

Brain trust has been dissolved.

Too much brain work for PH!?!?

No thinking allowed!

It was getting embarrassing sending the dumb fucks respected by Hegseth.

The jokes write themselves here.

Honestly, at this point they should start charging the jokes rent.

Suspension of participation in think tank events rather implies that they've simply run out of ideas. No great surprise there i suppose

"Pentagon suspends thinking" Sounds about right.

Because that requires Kegbreath to actually think to participate.

Drunk tank is more hogsbreath's style.

Their tank kept coming up empty.

…apparently the Defense Dept has no one to sent that can actually think….

US Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson is nothing but a person who ignores wrongdoing, tries to shield it. Mike is a complete religious hypocrite, and a bigot.

Hegseth.. we don't need no thinking

Yep, don’t want to do any libtard thinking. That’s so woke.

well, to be fair, with republicans, NO thinking is ever involved.. they just act on rabid inhuman monster instinks (yes, meant to spell it that way.. so keep your knickers untwisted)

No brains to spare for think tanks.

FFS. That headline made me snort laugh out loud. Gotta have some brain actvity to be able to think.

July 9, 2025: "Ship attacked by Yemen’s Houthi rebels sinks in the Red Sea, ..." apnews.com/article/mide... April 2025: "Cost of US military offensive against Houthis nears $1 billion with limited impact" www.cnn.com/2025/04/04/p... Incompetent Hegseth and his pedo incompetent boss, Trump.

Brainless humans (every Trump supporter) can't cope at events where other people actually think.

What a stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid idea

Nothing scares these pedos more than thinking so it makes sense

Yeeesssss! Isolate from the DIB and larger military ecosystem. I'm sure that at some point the larger ecosystem will flush the current administration. Think tank events are part of the $$$ flows . Fcuk with the money, find out just how powerful the DIB and other ecosystem participants truly are.
