Couple big ones, though.
Pete Hegseth is an abuser of lesser constituted humans, a drunkard, a racist, a sexist, a rapist, a sexual harasser, and, like donnie, not very bright, but pretty cunning.
The republicans ignored pretty strong documentation of the truth of these assertions and put Hegseth in charge of the security and safety of every person currently living in America.
Really in the world.
The list of fairly clearly documented flaws to Hegseth's character seem to cause one to feel a little queasy about our security and safety: the documented flaws are the type that never get turned on/off as if they were a light switch.
The bio-chemistry of those flaws makes them eternal and immutable.
So the republicans, by their confirmation of Hegseth, are betting that this time - eternity to date - things are different.
Of course I hope that they are right.
The alternative is too grim to savor.
A sort of similar mechanism hovers over our new trade war.
Nothing anyone can dredge up from the archives supports donnie's assertion that tariffs result in huge cash inflows to the treasury of the United States.
Everything anyone can dredge up from those archives says that the best result to be expected is inflation of a sort to be avoided by rational governments.
But donnie assures us that that is just plain wrong.
Of course I hope that he is right.
