Gaetz for AG and Gabbard for DNI. Can anyone make this up?

I suppose that all of the protestations about Trump's mental fitness went nowhere, electorally. Does that mean that he is, in fact, mentally fit?

I would argue that these two nominations prove otherwise.

It's almost as if we are seeing a competition to determine the worst possible candidates.

5 Senators have to disobey Trump in order for sanity to prevail. Will this happen in America Today? I think not.

Ironically, these two idiots in these two positions will backfire on Trump. But he is too stupid to understand any of this.

dont forget the tv head secretary of defense lmao

national guardsman and tv head. a real management resume!

Trump Picks 2.0 is much scarier than 1.0, and I can't wait for Inauguration Speech 2.0

Early indications are that The Senate is not 100% Trumptard. This surprises me. Although, we'll see when the confirmation hearings take place. I'm not holding my breath.

I'm rotflmao about Johnson/Jordan et al (and Trump!) not wanting this Ethics Report on Gaetz to come out. Whether it comes out or not, it is a gift that keeps on giving.

Isn't this fun so far? And we are 10 days post election.

Speaking of elections, what happened to all this talk of election fraud?

It is "fraud and cheating" if you lose. It is a "fair" election if you win.

That's their braindead logic.

You can now work 80 hours a week for your government and get paid NOTHING at all!
Congratulations!


a millionaire is asking you to work for him for free ....






in other news:
it's a real shame, "my" government nearly collapsed today, but unfortunately they managed to find enough glue to stay put.
But it's in shambles so let's wait and see how long it will last

***Tries to figure out how to look any of this up.***

It's the monumental elephant in the room. But the half of USA that was consumed by this suddenly doesn't give a shit. Mindboggling.

America is completely lost.

here's the first:
Elon Musk hints 80-hour-a-week DOGE job for 'high-IQ revolutionaries' will be unpaid

In a reply to an interested party, Elon Musk suggested the lucky applicants would be working for free, saying that "compensation is zero".




and here's the second:
Dutch coalition survives despite minister’s resignation over cabinet colleagues’ ‘racism’

I see that Gaetz isn't quite as stupid as Dear Leader.

If you told me 20 years ago I'd be in support of republican talking points, I'd vomit at the thought of it.
What I couldn't have foreseen is the conservative movement becoming the one pushing for freedom of speech.

^ man who would never be lied to by the media

hello new old man

yes, democrats conceded too much to their own maoist wing. it's been a thing for a while

but hear me out (for the sake of freedom of speech)-- who in the "conservative movement" is actually conservative anymore?

what they have now is right wing populism fueled by moral panics and slightly high prices (not even hyperinflation like the 30s, but people are more spoiled and overreact more now lol)

you'd think we're in economically wrecked argentina or criminally hijacked el salvador, but nope. the american economy is in good shape, crime is historically low, and inflation is now back down to almost normal, although yes prices are sticky, so old high prices are annoying people until wages catch up. everything is good and normal, but the crowd "feels" things are bad

and cults of personality are anything but conservative as mein führers of all ages show. and in 'merica, a land without kings... to see ex conservatives kissing the ring is disturbing as fuck. all that ass-licking. sure, obama was charismatic, but defied on a regular basis. this thing we have now is grotesque

and with economic policy, it's shaping up to be anything but conservative. republicans always cry about debt when out of power, but expand the deficit when in power. trumpo promises to remove any semblance of fiscal restraint, and his followers *do not care*

anyway, morgellons pizzagate jewish laser something lol. alternative facts!

but yes, the world is fucked basically hahahaha. we just have passionate extremes now. and you can't reason with a crowd. well you can, but just at a very rudimentary level. read gustave le bon

...

and since i can't trust the public i'm just looking for a private solution now. which really is not a solution, just a temporary shelter from the storm

...

okay okay enough of this depressing talk hahahaha

okay

-

but about economic policy, im interested in conversing with anyone who is willing to keep it rational. tariffs, trade wars, fiscal and monetary policy in us, japan, europe, china... anyone? bueller? anyone?

symbols! puts a grin on my face to see you around.

you're possibly right about the former and you're definitely right about the latter.

gotta hold on to the very few remaining nice humans on this hellhole, and i suspect you're one of the finest.

You were always some Portuguese dude on the internet trying to be mysterious and experimental, all while being a confused right winger.

MARRASSSS :))))
I think I just hung out with the wrong communists. You would've converted me Marras.

Actually hold on, I'm pretty sure it was you who guided me to people like Boyd Rice.
Maybe you're right and fascism makes me horny and it's all your fault.

hahaha!

and here i thought it was elon who had seduced you with his toys, but this goes to show how wrong i am all the time

(elon does have some good toys though. his cars are crap but i like starlink obviously)

(cognitive dissonance frying my circuits)

...

nah, no dissonance. melon has done some great things, along with some utter horseshit. but his entrepreneurial record is impressive overall, flimflam included

nevertheless, impressive or not (one can still debate), it doesn't give him the right to have his way with us

So now that Tulsi is a republican has she changed her opinions regarding various issues? My brief internet search says people don't like her but doesn't cite much re: her policy positions since changing teams.

I was disappointed to see Gaetz drop out but the return of GORKA has me on tenterhooks.

Ok I'll bite: Why? Do you think he would be a good AG?

(I don't know who the Trumpbots are anymore.)

And Gabbard for DNI is a disgrace. Right up there with Trump for POTUS.

tulsi is a herb

(really)
