Who saw this coming? said no one but Senate Republicans
By Sid Schwab / Herald Columnist
In fairness, no one could have seen it coming.
No reasons to predict that appointing, to oversee Earth’s most powerful military, an alcohol-abusing, inexperienced, unqualified, sexually profligate (allegedly), threateningly tattooed, weekend talk-show host on a network known for its troubled relationship with truth would be problematic.
After all, America put into even higher office a convicted felon, sexual predator and bankrupted businessman who got there by lying, cheating, threatening and/or suing everyone in his way. Who, as promised, ended the war in Ukraine on day one and cured inflation.
No clues. No warnings for 50 members of a party once self-reported as partial to law and order and meritocracy to have voted against confirmation in hopes of being presented with someone only half-terrible. Plus, there’s the matter of consistency; the same slack-back body approved someone to run America’s most powerful law-enforcement agency who’d shown fawning deference to that failed businessman by refusing to prosecute him for one of his many life-destroying scams. And accepted donations in return.
