The Post noted that while moving historical items such as the globe is normally “a deliberate process overseen by trained curators,” Hegseth’s staff dispensed with such formalities and attempted to move it by themselves.

The staffers subsequently dropped the globe, cracking its shell and creating a gash several inches wide.

    The globe is big and is in a heavy solid wood cradle that allows the globe to be spun in any direction. The dimwits tried picking it up and carrying it and couldn’t keep it up (probably office staff instead of military personnel, lol) so they dropped it instead. The globe crashed down into the twisty-pin thing at the bottom that helps it rotate and the globe broke.

    Wow. Thank God that Pete Hegseth has been such a good Defense Secretary, or people might use this as an example to claim that Hegseth and Trump broke the world.

    I like how this is the least of the small big man’s crimes, but it’s still perfectly symbolic of his ineptitude and its consequences. He broke the globe. No, no, even better, he had his dumbass henchmen break the globe

      …and then Steven Miller will take the remians of the broken globe and mill it down into to flour for his bread which he will consume in a mayo sandwich as a representation of his goals to devour the world while Mitch “The Lich” McConnell watches in the background.
