The Cabinet of Donald Trump is shaping up to be an even more frightening version of the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari<\/a><\/strong>, with all of the twists and turns of that psychological horror story populated by inmates of an asylum.<\/p>\n

If Trump gets the Republicans in Congress to capitulate to his commands, the U.S. government will be run by incompetents and sycophantic flunkies who have little to no experience for the jobs they are tasked to perform. They include Kash Patel at the FBI, Tulsi Gabbard heading Intelligence, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, in charge of healthcare, and a madhouse of MAGA minions who have scant relationships with the lives of average Americans.<\/p>\n

Featured in this cast of circus psychos is Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense. Hegseth has zero experience managing anything on the scale of the Pentagon. But he has had a presence on Fox News where Trump found and recruited him. He also has a history of managerial failure, excessive drinking, and alleged sexual assault<\/a><\/strong>. Which makes him an ideal candidate for a job in the Trump administration. They have so much in common.<\/p>\n

On Friday morning Hegseth’s lawyer, Tim Parlatore, was interviewed by Pamela Brown on CNN. It was a revealing discussion during which Parlatore offered up a peculiar defense of his client in the following exchange…<\/p>\n

Parlatore:<\/strong> The FBI background check is really going to strip away the false allegations and focus on just what the evidence is. And the evidence is he didn’t do any of these things that he’s been accused of.
\nBrown:<\/strong> But he’s also openly admitted he’s a changed man from several years ago. So how does that square? If you’re saying he didn’t do any of it, but he’s a changed man?
\nParlatore:<\/strong> I’m saying he didn’t commit any of the misconduct they’re alleging. The sexual assault, totally false. All of this stuff at CVA (Concerned Veterans for America) where they said that he was climbing on the stage at a strip club. Yeah that happened, but it was somebody else. […] The fact that earlier in his life when he was a young recent combat veteran who came home and dealt with the demons by drinking too much, that’s not uncommon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Pete Hegseth's lawyer defends him by saying that he was a boozing sexual abuser, but that it was OK because he was dealing with the stress of his military service.<\/p>\n

Is that the kind of person you want to put in charge of the entire Pentagon? How will he handle the stress of that? https:\/\/t.co\/UlAcIo2Ecf<\/a><\/p>\n
