But their biggest concern was whether or not Kamala was black and worked at McDonald's. We got abusers, child rapists and a rapist running shit. Democracy! Amirite?
Trump
Anyone named Trump
Anyone sleeping with a Trump
Anyone working for a Trump
Anyone remotely connected to a Trump
Is under criminal investigation
Been indicted
Been tried
Is currently incarcerated
Or has recently been released
The GOP be like, "that ain't no big thing."
My husband did more tours of Iraq/Afghanistan and Desert Storm and is higher ranking than him as a Colonel and he is far from qualified. The GOP has no moral compass or respect.
They're also willing to let Elon cut all veteran healthcare.
Trump loves people who just like him. Of course, most of his Cabinet will be men who have some criminal activity in their background. It's a prerequisite! And the women will be women who look the other way.
Wary of assuming the worst like so many others on here. Involvement does not imply they were the alleged assailant, nor does it imply guilt.
And social media jumping to conclusions doesn't change that.
We have a President -Elect , an AG Nominee, and two SCOTUS judges with "alleged" reported sex assaults so why not heap on the United States Secretary of Defense nominee
Newsflash - trump is only going to surround himself by yes men and women; he is totally disinterested in their past crimes and corrupt behaviour as long as he can plough ahead putin-style.
He fits right in with the Convicted Felon) Convicted Sexual Assaulter and his AG pick, an alleged statutory rapist. I feel bad for the daughters of the women who voted for the Convicted Felon/Convicted Sexual Assaulter.
The criminals, adulterers, sexual predators, thugs, anti-intellectuals, anti-science buffoons and Russian assets will be running our government soon. Like Russia, it will be a kleptocracy.
Unfortunately in the MAGA cult mind this makes him even more qualified to do the job. I miss the days where criminals went to jail rather than sit on a thrown.
Pedophiles stick together. Sex offenders stick together. It's like a community of sick, amoral creeps.
It's just too bad that Jeffrey Epstein isn't around. I'm sure the Orange Narcissist would tag him for some unqualified cabinet spot
Well, he fits right in with the rest of the rapist's campaign and administration. This it what Trump means when he says he wants to "protect the women whether they want it or not".
SA reported but no charges filed is exactly how the patriarchy shuts women down and protects itself. You think she gave herself contusions to her OWN thigh? GTFO!
In addition to this, the evangelical Hegseth has been married three times. He was dating his third wife while still married to the second (AND #3 was cheating on her husband,) in fact he had a child with #3 prior to his divorce from #2.
This literally trash administration is a whole disgusting disgrace to society. They should just let every prisoner out of prison at this point since crime doesn't matter anymore. No respect for Americans or the constitution. #disgusting
Thanks CNN for suggestions this refreshing app. I was looking for an X exit due to the campaign supporting Trump by Musk. The lies were like watching Fox News. So many flowing the Twitter hope this new space ignited and extinguishes the X pages. Many thanks. Love your coverage!
Geez every day since trump won the election I thank god I live in Australia and hope like hell his project 2025 agenda doesn’t have to much of an effect on us.
I feel so sorry for American’s, more and more every day
Nonsense choice for Secretary of Defense. We need a strong, experienced, high ranking military professional in the top position, not a weekend warrior/news commentator.
Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Defense Department, was the subject of a sexual assault complaint in 2017 in Monterey, Calif., according to public records and Hegseth’s lawyer. No charges were filed.

"...was involved in..." could mean so many different things. This is clickbait, and an example of why everything msm says/does has become suspect. Either don't publish such weak stories, be more specific, or lose more credibility.
This is now painful, with no one sure who to believe.🙄
Apparently, the Trump voters don't care who Trump appoints but let's c if he keeps his promises of no taxes on social security benefits, no taxes on overtime, no taxes on tips on other promises he made. As 4 those Latino voters who voted 4 him. I keep n eye on I.C.E COME KNOCKING AT YOUR DOORS.
I was seriously worried that MTG was gonna get the DOD pick. But this sucks too. I mean what do we really expect at this point. He put Matt Gaetz up as AG. that will inform the rest of the picks.
Is there any chance he’ll appoint someone to his cabinet who isn’t under police investigation, or is committing a crime just the first item on the job application? 😏

Spouting White nationalism while being accused of rape gets you to the front of the line with your CHOICE of roles!

They are NOT fully-formed adults, devoid of functioning spine & moral compass, CONNING their way through life at expense of disenfranchised
Get ALL vaccines UPDATED

Do we need a scorecard?
No counter comments.

Are we seeing a pattern yet?
rapist Supreme Court justice
rapist Attorney General
rapist Secretary of Defense

Give it time, you will normalize it quickly.
That's what you do.
It's only a required skill/life experience when you want to be in Trump's circle
What a really dumbbell thing to say!
