Orange Meanie: Dammit, Pete. What have I always said? Toad: Never apologize. Never admit you were wrong. Orange Meanie: Never apologize! Never admit you were wrong! And here Pete gives the guy a medal! Toad: Pete did indeed give specialist Thomas Iglesias a Joint Service Commendation Medal. Orange Meanie: We only give medals to foolish, dishonorable dickheads! Toad: Is the plan to fire Pete before he's impeached?

After all the mishegas of the past couple of days -- Hegseth narrowly avoiding an impeachment trial through parliamentary chicanery, then he and his party cavorting around the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and getting yelled at by the sentinel on duty -- to hear that Hegseth actually awarded the guy a medal (instead of, as everyone on social media assumed, coming down on him like a ton of bricks soaked in hair gel), well, I wasn't even sure what to say. I felt I had to address it. Pete Hegseth really doing the right thing: Hard to imagine, mostly because it goes against the very foundation of Trump's power, which is never backing down. I assume this means Pete's gonna get shoved out a high window. He showed weakness, and that means he's doomed.

I have no proof that the Trump regime only hands out medals to foolish, dishonorable dickheads. Trump did hang medals on Sergey Brin, Lisa Su, Michael Dell, Satya Nadella, Elon Musk, and -- most amusingly given recent developments -- Jensen Huang, so, you know, definitely some medal recipients are foolish, dishonorable dickheads. But possibly some decent people accidentally got medals before Spc. Thomas Iglesias.
