      will the tva even survive the circus about to (re)invade washington? i know it’s entirely self-funded, but still… it is a federal agency. a socialist-like one, at that… the og ‘new deal’ programs and a signature of fdr’s administration. every one of those is like a trigger for donvict crazy mode.

    The amount of his picks that are involved with sexual abuse of minors seems pretty over-the-top even for a republican administration. At this point, do any of them not have histories of involvement with sexual abuse and/or harassment? Maybe Oz… idk.

    Is anybody in the Republican party in the senate, congress or whichever not freaking out over his picks? Don’t they have a final say?

      When you swear ultimate fealty to a cult leader, the officers of the cult are by default the best picks. If you can’t see it, it’s a problem with you and not a problem with the cult leader.

      Until those folk are no longer needed, outlive their usefulness, or turn on Trump of course. Then the handpicked officers in question were actually agents of “The Enemy” all along and needed to be purged.

      They confirmed her 81-19 for administrator of the Small Business Administration. That was dumb but they were ok with it then.

      She was on the state board of education in Connecticut for a little over a year under their last GOP governor. So I guess that’s some experience at least. Totally qualified to run education for the entire fucking country.

      🔥 This is fine. 🔥

      The real danger is what Heritage Foundation ghouls will be running the show under her, and the other cabinet members. All these clowns are just the people Trump wants in the room with him. They don’t need to be qualified or do anything but kiss his ass on camera. It’s the Project 2025 deputy-weirdos we should worry about.

        Maybe if Trump really doesn’t care about project 2025 and just keeps on going with his celebrity cabinet, then maybe they’re going to fuck up so bad they’re all doing to be ridiculed and Trump could be impeached over some incredible fuck up or fraud.

      Heard plenty of GOP noise against Gaetz, but that’s about it.

      And yes, Congress has the say unless Trump’s people convince them to approve interim appointments. Even McConnell said, “Fuck that noise.”

      And now witness decades, like since the 50s decades, of the Legislative branch ceding power to the Executive. And here we are.

      I’m sure he’ll get something. Looks like this time Trump is only looking for loyalty, his previous cabinet still had a ton of people that were only there because he felt he needed to keep McConnell happy. This time there’s going to be no ‘adults in the room’.

      At least the kids would learn that steroids and TBIs are bad.

    Ok so countdown to the article that finally proves he just has a dartboard with people’s names on it that he likes and wherever the dart lands is the pick for the department…
