At his Senate confirmation hearing yesterday, Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth refused to state whether he would follow an unlawful order given by President-elect Donald Trump. During the nationwide protests after George Floyd’s murder in 2020, Trump asked the then chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “Can’t you just shoot them, just shoot them in the legs or something?” It is entirely conceivable that during his second term, what was previously a question becomes an order.

None of them are qualified, but then, not sure that many in the Biden administration are either.  Honestly, the fact that he just refused to answer the question instead of lying was impressive. I'm sure it's because if he said "No" then Donnie would withdraw his blessings and if he said "Yes" they might torpedo his confirmation.

In this modern Kleptocracy, it's almost comical to see how far these people will abase themselves before the Orange Calf.  This is 21st Century America, home of the Fee and land of the Paid.
