How did you leave out in-laws?

trevor-greetham.bsky.social•162 days ago

Not to mention extended family.

What did you expect?!

jprensky.bsky.social•162 days ago

Welcome to America’s Ship of
fools!

Plus drunks, sex pests, and plenty of pardoned crooks

Looks like compartments being assembled for a perfect train wreck or is it world’s largest perfect heist in broad daylight!

Trump quoted Hitler often

Burn oil for Trump
to turn earth into hell

Or shut down the war industry

What could go wrong with this group of individuals? (Apart from everything)

wrongwayc.bsky.social•162 days ago

And a partridge in a pear tree.

icecreampls.bsky.social•162 days ago

Ah, you beat me to it.

pugparty.bsky.social•162 days ago

And you even beat me to saying that!

glenjackson.bsky.social•162 days ago

@karenyourish.bsky.social thank you for the gift article...

I gave it away as Christmas presents on fox book

allanschlosser.bsky.social•162 days ago

While a handful are well qualified, Trump's nominees overall don't even rise to the level of a rogues' gallery.

covcat.bsky.social•162 days ago

At least they're light on plastic surgery. That would be hard to handle for four years.

buffdaddy72.bsky.social•162 days ago

So much for draining the swamp as Trump supporters predicted he would.

mgetts.bsky.social•162 days ago

And yet people criticize Pres. Biden's decision to pardon his son.

thevariant25.bsky.social•162 days ago

For the common man.

i-g-a-r-a-s-h-i.bsky.social•162 days ago

The best democracy money can buy!

rmtakata.bsky.social•162 days ago

How many with no criminal record or major charge of felony or misdemeanor?

arkancrow.bsky.social•161 days ago

They are not coming after "the elites".

They ARE the elites.

They are coming after people with different opinions.

dameofdestiny.bsky.social•162 days ago

And attorneys he appointed as payment, which is so much nicer than the stingy bastard giving each of them a wad of his horded money for years of work.

artski.bsky.social•162 days ago

I'm sure all those people who voted for Trump because they were opposed to rule by "elites" are fully vindicated now.

yeechie.nl•162 days ago

Obviously money talks 😂

littlecults4ever.bsky.social•162 days ago

Ummmmmm MOSTLY WHITE MEN?

Seriously NYTimes, you miss the point all the time.

melhs.bsky.social•162 days ago

You should have listed those in the reverse order so it could be like the tune to On the Twelfth Day of Christmas

cherylfiore77.bsky.social•162 days ago

Fascism is on the way. Enjoy yourselves before 12025

leftistdirtbag.bsky.social•162 days ago

let's compare those cabinet picks to Harris': Cardi B, Beyonce, Oprah, The Avengers, etc... How many hundreds of millions did she pay (waste) on useless celebrity endorsements?

mgetts.bsky.social•162 days ago

You know that it's not the same. Reflect on your analysis. Harris' campaign was not funded by tax dollars. If they succeed these grifters will be paid by us. Their security will be paid by us. They will influence public policy and they will do business on the side.

terileemcclain.bsky.social•162 days ago

sounds like a Christmas song 🎶

Well black women didn’t vote for this so we will be on a wellness rest for 4 years

grunklewaddles.bsky.social•162 days ago

This is by far the worst ven diagram I have ever seen!
We’re in for some things. 😬

bidrohi.blog•162 days ago

What’s your point. You helped him to be elected and now complaining!!! There is no surprise about his pick!

davidkmcw.bsky.social•162 days ago

Now do, 'credible sexual assault allegations'

mrscalabash.bsky.social•162 days ago

Do this analysis for past administrations.

pugparty.bsky.social•162 days ago

You’re correct. Much like past administrations, Trump is filling up the swamp. My question is why is he claiming that he’s draining it, and why do people believe him?

houlmont.bsky.social•162 days ago

Where do Peter Thiel and his friends fit in?

..:and a partridge in a pear tree. (At this point, a birdbrain would be an upgrade.)

quarkrotto.bsky.social•162 days ago

polyparadigm.bsky.social•162 days ago

What proportion are convicted or credibly accused of sex crimes or enabling child abuse? Have recent picks diluted the pool in that regard, because it seemed like 70% or more for a while there

abjass.bsky.social•161 days ago

Yes, but President Biden pardoned his son, so 🤷🏻‍♀️
