I only wrote it so I could have an excuse to have Frank N Furter in an article about the Defense Department. :-)

I understand what you’re saying and it makes sense, even if I don’t want to imagine the repercussions of a drunken Rambo-esqe character being in charge of our military. Thanks for the history lesson as well.

I'm sort of stupefied that 52 Senators, Republican or not, sycophant or not, could possibly even consider approving this nomination. My essay probably reflects the staggering confusion raging in my head.

Lol, I enjoyed it and yes, I think most of us are stupefied by such a poor choice, but not shocked at any nomination. We know that Trump doesn’t want anything but loyalty this time around. Adults need not apply.

Look, it’s an easy explanation.

Like in his first administration, Orange Puffalo (I love this!) has no interest in governing or advancing the country’s legacy or interests. Great Leader’s SOLE requirement is that his “advisors” be blindly loyal to him, and willing to do anything—ANYTHING—he wants done, including declaring combat war on our allies.

Our country is in for a horrible four years…

His new chief of staff is going to do an excellent job of hiding his dementia from the public, but it will only work for so long. He'll either enter a fully vegetative state soon, or be so completely nonsensical they don't let him out, or be replaced. I believe he's that far gone, having been around folks who are ticking away similarly.
