"You think we're so innocent?"
-------Donald J. Trump
We at Legalienate were deeply shocked to learn that our country's prospective next "Defense" Secretary (Pete Hegseth) is a philandering sexual predator and drunkard with a poor record at conducting organized bloodletting according to the rules. What is this world coming to when we can't count on our top officials to demonstrate squeaky clean personal conduct while leading us into highly ethical mass slaughters abroad that drain the national treasury and return our sons and daughters to us in body bags? Even when we conduct righteous massacres by proxy, as we all too often do these days, what chance do we have to "Make America Great Again" if we can't have full moral confidence in the top leaders of the Pentagon's world-wide killing machine?
Equally alarming is the news that Hegseth may not believe women are equal to men in wholesale butchery according to the rules. What impact might this vicious misogyny have on our overall fitness and willingness to engage in mass slaughter? Might it not undermine our national tradition (i.e., "greatness") of filling up graveyards with all those who get in the way of U.S. capitalism promoting a "favorable investment climate," most notably political activists, union organizers, whistleblowers, and environmentalists? One shudders at the mere thought of a loss of American resolve to plunder and murder with abandon.
Not that there hasn't been notable comic relief to the proceedings. A big shout out goes to Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-Oklahoma) for providing a generous dose, pointing out that his fellow Senators are just as guilty as Hegseth regarding infidelity and showing up to work drunk, so what's the big deal?
A poignant Christian reminder that we're all moral scum, so enough already with waxing high-minded about ethics.
