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

It’s Idiocracy

Unserious president. This is all so stupid.

I wouldn't have suggested Gaetz even as a joke

I agree with this - it makes sense that these are Putin’s picks designed to humiliate the US

So, any hope the Senate will reject this, due to lack of qualifications? Even with a friendly party, there has to be a limit.

Really? They haven’t turned against him yet, but I would say that’s our only hope.

Yeah, I think there's a chance that there are still some adults in the room at the Senate - and Thune being chosen as majority leader may be a signal (it's anonymous voting) that it's not going to be purely deferential. I think there's a tradition of deference but some of these are very unserious nominations for very serious positions.

At least with respect to Gaetz and Hegseth, there may be some meaningful unwillingness at the Senate. And still quite a few cabinet posts left to name.

To be fair, he does have some significant experience of legal trouble from the other side of things as well doesn't he?

DOJ won't charge Matt Gaetz in sex-trafficking probe as lawyer for minor calls investigation 'difficult experience'

The DOJ has informed lawyers representing witnesses that it will not bring charges against Rep. Matt Gaetz after a sex-trafficking probe into the Florida congressman.

Yeah, this is nuts.

It's going to be an interesting confirmation hearing!

This guy is a clown, he'll fit perfectly within the trump administration.

Maybe, just maybe there's a connection to the number of Vets qualifying for service connected VA benefits and the past 30+ years of actual combat.

JFC, I'm hearing that the HS dropout glory hole expert lauren boebert has been chosen to be the 'secretary of education'. This country is beyond doom. RIP USA...

 

[Optimus Prime]

guess this can go here

This is the first time since he was elected I got a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach about this country's future. I expected him to be elected, I suspected a sub-standard cabinet because nobody worth anything would work for him.

I didn't expect us to turn the DOJ over to a circus clown child trafficking conspiracy theorist.

I wonder what position MTG will get while we are loading up on stupid?

Only problem - the confirmation votes won’t be anonymous. If the Senate GOP has proven anything, it’s that they are cowards.

You assume there will be those. Trump is attempting to get around them. trump loves him some pedo's for sure.
