But Hegseth treats logic like a urinal cake.

From Kareems newsletter a few days ago.

Hegseth and the Boy Scouts.

Here’s where it gets crazy—okay, crazier. By law, “Congress requires the Pentagon to support Scouting America’s Jamboree, lending trucks, ambulances and medical teams free of charge.” However, Hegseth can refuse to provide those things if he thinks offering them would be “detrimental to national security.” It would take a twisting of logic into a Gordian Knot to prove that supporting the Scouts is a threat to national security. But Hegseth treats logic like a urinal cake. He accuses the Scouts of no longer cultivating “masculine values,” then says that it would compromise national security to send troops and equipment to the Jamboree because it would divert resources from protecting U.S. territory. Really? I mean, REALLY!
