Hoooooooooo boy

Let Trump go with Vivek. It will be a disaster. Democrats should stop trying to curb his worst impulses. Look where that got them till now. Let Trump reap what he sows.

Is Marco Rubio the Jeff Sessions of Mark Milleys?

merrittkelly1.bsky.social•192 days ago

Oh good God!

jonathanbernstein.bsky.social•192 days ago

Rubio would, all things considered, be fine. Doubt it's him; if it's him, doubt he would last long. Otherwise...man is this going to be some clown show.

benjicardoso.bsky.social•192 days ago

Hagerty prob about the same, no?

chattwjonathan.bsky.social•192 days ago

Hagerty would give Tuberville a run for his money but up to this point has remained clever enough to keep his foot n his mouth.

Blackburn is the brains behind the Tennessee Senate delegation.

benjicardoso.bsky.social•192 days ago

That last sentence is something

chattwjonathan.bsky.social•192 days ago

Blackburn is dumb in that through self promotion she gets herself into positions she isn't clever enough for and gets taken to task. But she got her position through a lot of terrible hard work.

Hagerty is a very rich & naive person who realizes he should smile and nod along. He stands for nothing

dnlmsstch.bsky.social•192 days ago

Watching Rubio give up a senate seat only to get shived 9 months later would be one of the few joys I could have in the coming year

sunrises.bsky.social•191 days ago

Total clown show. Scandal a day, always reacting to the latest fuck up.

donmoyn.bsky.social•192 days ago

Grenell is the more obvious choice. He was acting DNI before b/c he would not have gotten through the Senate confirmation. But now...

jonathanbernstein.bsky.social•192 days ago

On the one hand, yes; on the other hand it's Trump, so it could still be some random guy who praises him on TV tomorrow.

jan2021.bsky.social•191 days ago

I supp0se it will depend on who is the most slavish.

caede.bsky.social•192 days ago

Rubio to SecState, DeSantis appoints Laura Loomer as Senator.

bruffles.bsky.social•192 days ago

Can you not speak this evil into the world?

westm6570.bsky.social•191 days ago

It's gonna be Casey, don't kid ourselves. Or himself.

thefaultinmyarse.bsky.social•192 days ago

Goddamn nightmare rotation.

maryann8.bsky.social•192 days ago

🤮

bluefrommagioh.bsky.social•191 days ago

exactly!

felinecannon.bsky.social•192 days ago

I keep wondering which of his cabinet picks will be kicked aside first and if it will happen before his inauguration.

laststarfighter.bsky.social•192 days ago

If Marco wants the job he might want to let the boss know one candidate might get deported if they make revoking birthright citizenship retroactive.

mitchsolomon.bsky.social•192 days ago

Clearly their promise to dismantle the “deep state” is being mistaken by this guy as the “entire country”

jenniagitator.bsky.social•192 days ago

Vivek, Mr. pump and dump scammer, may be the most overreacted man on Earth, well, other than RFK.

imchad.bsky.social•191 days ago

Won’t Vivek be deported?

isabella-usuk.bsky.social•192 days ago

Shout out to “I shouldn’t have to pick the lesser of two evils” voters.

lordkeynes42.bsky.social•192 days ago

It's gonna be ric.

bananapantz.bsky.social•192 days ago

[infinite scream]

emptywheel.bsky.social•192 days ago

I generally think it is, but wonder if his corruption will provide cause for a black eye in the confirmation process.

draudreyglover.bsky.social•192 days ago

Depends how many Republican Senators are willing to have a tweet-thrashing for suggesting he may not be the correct pick

jonfromrhodeisland.bsky.social•192 days ago

You need to start thinking fash.There will be no confirmation hearings of any kind.

jonelewis.bsky.social•192 days ago

This is why T has asked for appointments to be done as recess appointments. No hearings.

dct7871.bsky.social•192 days ago

Are you sure there's going to be a confirmation process?

bershod.bsky.social•192 days ago

🤔With a Republican majority? I think not 🤷‍♀️

rowenap.bsky.social•192 days ago

What confirmation process?

berberdumonde.bsky.social•192 days ago

since when is (republican) corruption a problem?

carpinsandiego.com•192 days ago

From who? Republicans? Have we already forgotten 5 days ago?

maryangelaperna.bsky.social•191 days ago

My money is on Ric. He’s been auditioning for that spot for literally years on Bannon’s show. And that’s just what he’s been doing publicly

donmoyn.bsky.social•192 days ago

yeah, I think thats right.

thegreer.bsky.social•192 days ago

...though Vivek does have more resources to bribe* Trump with if he really wants it.

lordkeynes42.bsky.social•192 days ago

I assumed Vivek had the Senate aware from Ohio. My senator. *Screams*

jakedwhitaker.bsky.social•192 days ago

Vivek Ramaswamy vs. Sherrod Brown?

lordkeynes42.bsky.social•192 days ago

Sherrod would be almost 80 so unlikely. The democratic field in Ohio is bleak.

raincitywoman.bsky.social•192 days ago

That is an insane list, but yes, Marco would be the least awful of the bunch

michaelruminer.bsky.social•192 days ago

More of only best, just good ol' Rex Tillerson.

michaelruminer.bsky.social•192 days ago

Vive Ramaswamy? I guess that is one way to get one more person with immigrant parents to be out of the country a lot.

beowulfsmom08.bsky.social•192 days ago

That is a depressing list.

headdoc35.bsky.social•191 days ago

Heard he was up for Betsy DeVile’s old job too.

orcwizard.bsky.social•191 days ago

I’d like think this is a joke, but the past eight years have taught me to be more cynical.

connorlynch.bsky.social•192 days ago

probably included on the list to make whoever actually gets the nomination more likely to get confirmed. "at least he's not..." and so on

lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social•192 days ago

I give Rubio 6 months in the job before he’s jettisoned.

lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social•192 days ago

I feel the same way. Bonus for me is we get a special election in my state to replace him in 2 years.
Unfortunately, we may end up with Senator Ron DeSantis.

Blunt rotation from hell

We truly are fucked!

chrissharp42.bsky.social•192 days ago

Glad I’m not the only one who thought it

mlco.bsky.social•192 days ago

🤦🤦

massachusettsxy.bsky.social•192 days ago

Marco is the Mitt Romney of this cycle.

annabellelecter.bsky.social•191 days ago

It depends on whether Ivanka wants his seat or the one in Tennessee.

rootysmom.bsky.social•192 days ago

His last big photo opp of the campaign was hanging off the back of a garbage truck. Trash appears to have its rewards.

andrewharbison1.bsky.social•192 days ago

I wouldn’t worry. After electing Trump with a majority it’s not like the US has much remaining credibility to lose.

kenkiyama.bsky.social•192 days ago

“Only the best people…”

autodidan.bsky.social•192 days ago

What should we call the American version of "wolf warrior" diplomacy?

maestraoogway.bsky.social•192 days ago

they're all hideous

noeldickover.bsky.social•191 days ago

Marco Rubio is legions better than the rest but honestly if this is the list I don't think it matters much.

The international space is gonna to turn to twice more a train wreck that it is now, if we're lucky. The chances for significant, earth shaking disruption is there.

cgillespie62.bsky.social•192 days ago

Makes one yearn for the sage competence of Jared and Ivanka.

buffalogirl.bsky.social•192 days ago

No. No no no. No.

lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social•192 days ago

I’m surprised Jared didn’t make the list.

cgillespie62.bsky.social•192 days ago

He already cashed in on grift presidency #1

glwerth.bsky.social•191 days ago

Any one of them would be a disaster, but Rubio is the least dangerous...fuck this timeline.

juliaazari.bsky.social•191 days ago

i had the same thought when i saw him on some lists. like, ok, that's a sane pick for any Repub admin. not my choice, but he's probably been in some relevant meetings.

ctpoodle.bsky.social•191 days ago

Can I just be sick now?

madhominem.bsky.social•192 days ago

my only remaining hope is that he picks people so horrible that, like, Belize invades us and takes over

tatitaazevedo.bsky.social•192 days ago

I'm laughed then I wanted to cry

joelberkowitz.bsky.social•191 days ago

He's thirsty enough to do a decent job, maybe?

sirmikealot.bsky.social•192 days ago

If selected, I hope other nations' counter parts refer to him as #LittleMarco 😏

ituzzip.bsky.social•191 days ago

On the upside, Vivek Ramaswami as chief diplomat would make it much less likely that foreign governments want to work with the Trump administration in any way.
