I also assume this is because Gaetz will be dumb and shameless enough to weaponize the DOJ to the extreme

 

Some of these appointments are just crazy and it goes to show how spineless and groveling all these republicans are to Trump. Shameful how they spent all primary season going to bat on traditional republican values and 'we're not the party of Trump' to just lining up to accept his hand outs of positions of power.

EDIT - It's not surprising though.

 

Attorney General Jonah Ryan B-plot on Veep would have been great.

 

Look on the bright side: they could all die.

 

Matt Gaetz is one where it's so crazy I actually think there could be enough republicans to vote against confirming him

 

Rubio is the first cabinet member that will get fired calling it

 

This will turn into The Death of Stalin so fucking fast.


...apparently making movie/tv analogies is my coping mechanism.

 

this would crash the economy immediately. firing 2m fed employees? jfc. idiots. idiots all over.

 

This is where I’m at. These are all going to be shit shows with no credibility.

 

these are stunningly stupid and troublesome picks

the tulsi gabbard one is maybe the worst one

I’ll actually be surprised if congress approves them. I mean these picks aren’t even in the same solar system as the ones from his first term.

 

I hate that dumb people think that firing employees means that you have "power". That's been a hallmark of Musk - coming into a company and starts firing left and right and claiming things are "fixed".

 

Feeling for Gaetz sister in law (who is Lucky Palmer's sister) who accused Gaetz of trying to pass her around to his 50 something year old colleagues when she was a young congressional intern.

 

lmfao

 

I actually think the loyalty test idea makes a lot of sense. It’d be like if i was a controversial president who didn’t trust his own party, id be like “for one of the first votes of my term, Im going to need you guys to put @imthegrimace in control of the Treasury” and whoever didn’t vote for him, I’d know i would need to end their careers.

 

Firing 2M federal employees without cause is a shortcut to this:

 

history will say they were roommates

 

hasn't he literally said he would do this already?
