Longest ever "Acting" Secretary of Defense resigns

[RobDownSouth]

Patrick Shanahan, the longest serving "acting" Secretary of Defense in United States history, resigned suddenly today, days after committing 2000 troops into harm's way in the Middle East.

He was scheduled for confirmation hearings next week, at which time he would have been held accountable for defending his 17 year old son's savage attack on his estranged wife.

"She provoked him".

His now-ex yelled at the 17 year old punk, who promptly took a baseball bat and swung and fractured her skull.

Fractured.
Her.
Skull.

"She provoked him".

He got sonny boy a good lawyer who pleaded for zero jail time, becoz sonny was a legit pro baseball prospect and jail in the spring would kill his chances of looking good for the scouts.

Sonny got to spend the summer at the Sheriff's Youth Ranch and got into the University of Washington (daddy was on the board of regents).

Trump’s failed defense secretary pick defended his son after he brutally beat his own mother with a baseball bat

Shanahan, who had been tapped by President Donald Trump as a permanent replacement for former Defense Secretary James Mattis, admitted to the Post this week that he had written a defense of his then-17-year-old son Will Shanahan after he brutally beat his own mother with a baseball bat in 2011 and left her “unconscious in a pool of blood, her skull fractured and with internal injuries that required surgery,” the paper reports.

Despite the gruesome nature of the attack, Shanahan sent a letter to his former brother-in-law claiming that his son had acted in self-defense.

“Use of a baseball bat in self-defense will likely be viewed as an imbalance of force,” Shanahan wrote. “However, Will’s mother harassed him for nearly three hours before the incident.”

Shanahan tells the Post that he deeply regrets writing those words and claims that he did not know the extent of his ex-wife’s injuries at the time.

Just to clarify the issues.

Eh, no biggie. It's not like we're in a situation where a Defense Secretary might really come in handy, like if we were drifting towards war with Iran or something like that.

What the CEO of Boeing is a scumbag? Who knew!

Meanwhile his buddy Mike Pompeo is busy selling weapons to the Saudis so they can continue to kill Yemeni children.

Trump seems to really have selected the very best people. Let's wait for dump/dawn/bot to show up and defending murdering children.
