From Vixen Strangely at Strangely Blogged:
I’m kind of rubbish anymore when you get right down to it–I recall so much of pop culture that I sometimes feel like I am swimming in a miasma of whatever went before. I guess that’s why I think it’s a bit weird Trump very notoriously pardoned another Sgt. Calley. in the form of Eddie Gallagher. It seems like Trump is so obviously trying to signify that he does not care what soldiers do for the greater good of the state (of Trumpworld). And he also doesn’t care about law and order if it is his own version thereof.
He makes law and order. They don’t exist in and of themselves, He decides Gallagher acted within his rights and now, this man is one of TrumpWorld’s saints. Having performed the miracle of wasting someone.
This reminds me the least bit of the 1990’s movie “Wag the Dog” and the story of Ol’ Shoe where the figure manufactured to be heroic turned out to not actually be sane or great at all.
Anyway, Gallagher is not so great.
