Hey Mitch, Go F*** Yourself!
Forgive my language, folks, but what right does the Moscow Mitch have to lecture anyone about anything?
There are only two other faces in the world that make me as sick as Mitch McConnell’s turtle-like grimace — Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine because of the failures of Trump’s first term; and, we have a second Trump presidency because McConnell refused to impeach him in 2021. See how they are interconnected?
Mitch McConnel voted against the Fox News host for defense secretary. He joined two other Republicans, Susan Collins of Maine (she voted to impeach Trump) and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska (she voted to acquit Trump), in voting against the alcohol-abusing sexual predator.
“The most consequential cabinet official in any Administration is the Secretary of Defense. In the face of the gravest threats to US national security interests since World War II, this position is even more important today,” McConnell wrote.
“Mr. Hegseth has failed, as yet, to demonstrate that he will pass this test. But as he assumes office, the consequences of failure are as high as they have ever been,” his statement continued. “The United States faces coordinated aggression from adversaries bent on shattering the order underpinning American security and prosperity. In public comments and testimony before the Armed Services Committee, Mr. Hegseth did not reckon with this reality (McConnell Issues Scathing Statement).”
While I agree completely with McConnell, if he had fulfilled his duties as the Senate Majority leader in 2021, then Ron Burgundy (Hegseth) would today be sleeping off a hangover instead of preparing to mismanage the world’s greatest military machine.
Today, our enemies across the globe are celebrating. Herds of tunic-garbed terrorists are emerging from caves and holes in the ground to rejoice at the spectacle of the world’s greatest military power putting at its helm a man who would likely not be permitted to coach a Little League team in most communities in the United States. Vladimir Putin is considering whether or not to give Russians a holiday next Friday he is so thrilled at the prospect of this clownish abuser overseeing the largest department in the federal government.
When MAGidiots try to blame Joe Biden and Barack Obama before him for the wars and evil in the world, we should point to this moment. The Bush team led by Cheney disregarded the role Al Qaeda played in world terrorism — until it was too late — and their ignorance and hubris brought us 9/11. 9/11 brought us 20 years of senseless war in Afghanistan and Iraq — the invasion of Iraq is a war crime that goes unpunished.
9/11 led us eventually to the criminality and ignorance of Donald Trump’s first term. Our enemies love chaos, and Trump’s first term was chaos perfected. The chaos was like an endless energy source for the sick murderer, Vladimir Putin. Putin would not have invaded Ukraine had Hillary Clinton been the president instead of Donald Trump. During the dark years of Trump’s first term, Putin grew so confident that he figured the U.S. under Biden would not be able to respond.
As Ron Burgundy prepares to take over the Department of Defense and launch this most vital department into a deep, dark forest filled with untold dangers, the question all of us should be posing today is: What war, or tragedy, will happen in the near future as a result of this utterly ludicrous — if not insane — choice for secretary of defense?
The reasons Donald Trump chose someone such an incompetent sycophant are myriad. He wants someone dumber than him regarding world affairs and military matters. He wants someone who won’t question his command to use the military against his political enemies. He wants an addicted coward who will misuse the nation’s military to seize the Panama Canal, Greenland, and maybe even Canada.
Donald Trump has just gained full control of the United States military. The only thing that can stop him from burying our democracy is the generals who might choose not to obey his orders. In a recent interview, a retired general said that officers default to obey their orders, even when they are questionably illegal. Will some brave souls step forward and refuse Trump’s and then Hegseth’s illegality?
I am betting there will be. I am betting that Trump will overstep himself and someone inside that massive building called the Pentagon will sabotage Hegseth’s incompetent leadership and save our nation from our enemies: The president of the United States, the Republican Congress, Putin, and many others rejoicing in our downfall.
Resist where and when you can!
