“Go lightly from the ledge, babe. Go lightly on the ground. I'm not the one you want, babe. I'll only let you down. Go away from my window. Leave at your own chosen speed. I'm not the one you want, babe. I'm not the one you need. It ain’t me, babe; I said no, no, no, it ain’t me, babe!” (‘It Ain’t Me Babe’ - Bob Dylan).
Let’s begin with the ain’t me babe contestant, a guy named Pete Hegseth, who actually used the history books (probably for the first time in his life) and told the media, and basically the American public, that he “WAS JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS”, using a very German explanation for the murder and mayhem from the Venezuela coup, to the shooting of fishermen in the Caribbean, to, of course, the war with Iran. Hegseth reminded Americans that he was just following orders from the Commander-in-Chief!
Now we move on to the House of Representatives, and who says that MAGA is dead? It seems that MAGA Mike Johnson and all of his ass licking of the Trump entrails got him nothing but a rejection of his leadership skills. And now, as if the Republicans had learned nothing at all from this midterm election, what did they do? They voted for Gym (I did not see any troubling acts of pedophilia in the showers of the Ohio State Wrestling Team) Jordan. A gerrymandered MAGA who, while in the majority, rebuked law and order and implemented law-and-order MAGA/Trump style. The media and the Dems may pretend that MAGA is dead, but don’t tell that to the Republicans in the House.
Finally, we have Trump. To no one’s surprise, he takes zero responsibility for the upheaval during the midterms. And why not? Even when you hear the GOP begin to play the victim, they may explain it was affordability; they may claim it was due to the Iran War; they will even whisper that it was due to some corruption, but way too many of them NEVER start the sentence with it was Trump’s tariffs that caused the issue of affordability, it was Trump’s war in Iran, or it was Trump, his family, and his cadre of billionaire donors and Cabinet officials responsible for corruption!
IT AIN’T ME BABE!
