Take the quiz! Was it Homer Simpson or Pete Hegseth who said the deranged thing about beer?
(I got all but one.)
Just a subtle hint in the right quarters should be sufficient, especially if the subject fails the paper bag test. Think of the Spanish Inquisition* or the Reign of Terror.
* Which no one expects.
83%, missed two. Most were pretty easy, because Hegseth is inherently more mean-spirited.
“Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest? Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
He told nobody in particular that the war has to end in 50 days (that is 3 1/3 of the usual fortnights). Otherwise he will impose (traraaaaAAAH!) tariffs.
It seems tariffs is the only thing he can think of. Tariffs like the world has never seen or something the like.
Putin, of course, is deeply impressed.
“When I shall kneel, you shall kneel. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera!”
(as an aside, does anyone know why spell check in Firefox doesn’t know what “et cetera” is? Marks it as wrong every time. Okay, “et” by itself looks wrong but if it is followed by “cetera”, it should now be fine.)
The Yul Brynner quote I was referring to was from The Ten Commandments. But I love his pompousness in The King and I, too.
And here is the major announcement…
“We’re going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don’t have a deal in 50 days,” the Republican president said. He said they would be “secondary tariffs,” meaning they would target Russia’s trading partners in an effort to isolate Moscow in the global economy.
Not just any old tariffs, but VERY SEVERE tariffs.

Because this has been so very successful in thwarting Russia over the past two years. 
He. Still. Does. Not. Understand. How. Tariffs. Work.
Yes, indeed. Would be hilarious if it wasn’t so serious. And illegal. And if the whole Repooblican Party didn’t go along with it.
When in doubt…tarriff!
When the facade of action is required…tarriff!
In 50 days!
When a problem comes along
You must tariff
‘Tariff’ is the word I use to describe…
[You’re welcome for that earworm]
Double secret tariffs!
The first rule of very severe tariffs…
Shhhhh! 
I shot the Tariff, but I did not kill no Deputy
I shot the Tariff, and a couple Deportees
