Someday soon, he'll get his parade. We'll ALL watch it. The whole world will remember where they were. The cheering and applause will be insane. We'll have tears in our eyes, and there will be commemorative merchandise.

It will be the best funeral ever.

He's not just an exploding car salesman and the unelected President, he's also the Surgeon General.

The Government Is Shutting Down Because Elon Musk Has Factories in China There’s a mundane reason for the late-term chaos, and it’s called a conflict of interest.

Democrats get that they were rolled, does Trump?!

The man is showing his insanity. Now unbridled by US laws he is going off the deep end with full approval of congress.

Trump’s cabinet shall from here on be known as the Jackass Brigade. They are the stupidest bunch to come along in all of American history.

The nominee to take over the FBI has publicly published a list of innocent Americans he plans to target if given the power. This is more important than finger wagging about norms and traditions.

Can We Hold On to Our Sense of Humor? A Saturday Prompt

“Goodness knows, this reckless and incompetent collection of Fox hosts, billionaires and other Trump donors Trump wants to foist upon the country and call top leaders are more than deserving of mockery and laughter. Better that than non-stop fury and tears.”

The appointment of Stephen Miller as Trump’s deputy chief of staff is an ominous sign of how extreme the Trump White House will get. Miller’s core focus has been immigration policy. He will oversee illegal deportations, asylum seeker expulsions, and anti-immigration policy.

Exactly November 27th. I guess now it’s a tradition for Elon @elonmusk to spout off with some absurd conspiracy. Bruh, maybe spend some time with your family and take time to be thankful for your blessings.

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but I’m pretty sure our president shouldn’t be a rapist, our DNI shouldn’t be on a TSA watchlist list and our head of counterintelligence should probably be able to pass a background check.

Right?

Holy fuck. Seb Gorka is his pick to be senior director for counterterrorism.

Seb fucking Gorka, who was denied security clearance in the last Trump administration… Seb fucking Gorka who has ties to a Nazi-allied organization in Hungary…

The. Director. Of. Counterterrorism.

Donald Trump’s Most Dangerous Cabinet Pick Pete Hegseth considers himself to be at war with basically everybody to Trump’s left, and it is by no means clear that he means war metaphorically.

“The main question I was looking to answer when I started reading Hegseth’s collected works was whether he would follow a Trump command to shoot peaceful protesters. After having read them, I don’t think he would even wait for the order.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Ramaswamy recently proposed an unconventional approach: randomly selecting federal workers for termination based on their Social Security numbers. He suggested that on President-elect Trump’s first day in office, workers with Social Security numbers ending in an even digit could be dismissed. (2/2)
