Surely to be a clown show. We know that RFK certainly thinks he’s getting nominated for HHS, which includes FDA.

How can anyone think that these cabinet appointments will be good for the country? It's shameful.

Chaos is the whole purpose - The more chaos the better because it is far easier to hide the most egrerious crimes when people focus on the stupid rather than the criminal

I would like to say I am surprised. I would like to but I can’t.

Yup. There is profit in chaos.

Even worse, incompetents are deliberately brought in to ensure there is no capable opposition to the schemes crafted by Trump and his henchmen.

You got a point?

Are you trying to say these people he is choosing are qualified and will be good for the US?

They’re manifestly unfit. Why did he choose them?

 

[nolaspe]

Pure and utter garbage...

Nah. I’m just saying that listening to you guys talk about conservatives sounds a lot like a scene from Pinky and the Brain.

Happens every four years. The shoe is now on the other foot. I had similar concerns about some of Biden’s picks. I just didn’t go so far as to say it was part of a master plan to destroy our way of life and turn the country over to Putin and Xi.

You guys are laughable!!! Each and every time, yall like to fall back on some false equivalency.
There is no way any rational person could have similar concerns about ANY Biden pick, if someone did, they would need to seek some sort of therapy.

I challenge you to share your concerns over Biden's picks for SECDEF, AG, and DNI, and then compare them to trumps picks for those same position.

The more and more you guys do this, the more you show the world that you guy are not serious people.

Your post reminds me of something a friend posted a few weeks ago....

If you believe that Trump and his henchmen are going to improve your life, I fear you’re in for a rude awakening. He doesn’t care about you or his MAGA followers—only the super-rich, whom he can exploit for money at your expense. Under his influence, inflation will soar, job security and workplace safety regulations will disappear, and the environment, along with clean water for your family, will be sacrificed. I hope you don’t end up feeling the same disillusionment he expressed in the last sentence "We didn't want that.."

We will see. Again, I’m not a Trump fan but we all heard similar rhetoric before and during his first term. The nation had ample opportunity to choose between Trump and Biden/Harris and they chose. I get you don’t agree. I get and accept you think his choices are bad. I accept that. What I don’t accept is that the folks who don’t agree with you want the nation to fail. The people who don’t agree with you are not the enemy and the folks on the other side who are elected or appointed to office/positions in the government are not arch villains rooting against the country.

That strikes me as a rather naive stance, since, even without considering the specific 'merits' of the current appointees, it assumes that there can't possibly be people who would put their own desires and interests ahead of those of the country, and if there were, they couldn't possibly rise to a position of power.

And I'd suggest that history doesn't just say otherwise, it loudly shouts it.

So we are to assume that is what is happening here because you say so. Hence my facepalm.

Unlike you, I don’t pretend to know the motivations of each and every nominee. Maybe they are all sleeper agents. Maybe they are all evil. I don’t pretend to know what goes on in the heads of other people. Maybe that’s naive.

Needless to say, I would have made different choices than Trump but then again I would have made different choices than Biden as well. As I said earlier, I’m not prepared to assume that everyone of these appointees are the antichrist. If that’s naive to you then so be it. Call me naive.

Only one elected president has openly expressed admiration for totalitarian leaders like Putin, Xi, and Kim. This same president also praised a communist dictator who invaded a peaceful neighbor. Moreover, in the past century, only one U.S. president has suggested the possibility of attacking allies to expand U.S. territory. Ironically, this is the same individual who, as a candidate, claimed he would be 'the most peaceful president ever.
