Yeah, failure of imagination, ugh. We gotta dig even deeper.
What's a uniquely Waltzian not-good thing they want to achieve w/ him going to UN? (Russia hawk pressure on Vlad to deal?)
For what not good-thing they want to do re: national security is Rubio becoming NSA? (domestic enforcement focus?)
Marco is that dude at work who volunteers for everything and ends up getting all the shit jobs the lazy wet noodles don’t want to do. The dude who is always on the verge of burnout but keeps on trucking because he painted himself into a corner. The meltdown is imminent.
I feel like Rubes is angling for the future where Trump serves out his term and he's the heir apparent (via election or otherwise) while Vance is betting more on Trump not serving out his term and just needing to still be VP when it happens.
“The way the deck chairs were arranged by Biden was a disgrace, frankly. I rearranged them. Many people said it couldn’t be done, can’t be done, until, Trump, did the rearranging. The deck chairs needed rearranging for a very long time, but I did it, and also, the United States is now unsinkable.”
Fairly irrelevant, but I always mentally stumble over “Thank you for your attention to this matter.” Who is he thanking? What does he think they are doing about “this matter?” Does he think he is writing a business letter?
He doesn't write anything himself therefore he didn't choose this wording, but approved it, maybe. He has a personal aide to tweet and truth and whatever else he does.
Trump has never used a computer or had an email in his life.
He's as dumb as they come.
Agreed. In real life, this closing means the reader is expected to accomplish some task. Unless the task is to laugh at America’s King Zog, I ain’t doing shit.
I find this habit stupid, too. I think it's just a verbal tic. Trump has a number of rote phrases he peppers into his speech: "no one's ever seen anything like it", "everyone says", etc. I always think of it as a sign of a lack of intelligence and/or mental decline.
When people start going demented they always repeat the same phrases, out of context, and frequently. Anyone with an old relative has seen it. Now he may have been like this 30 years ago, but no doubt age and brain rot is a factor.
He’s like Jared 2. Maybe Trump promised him an investment from the sovereign wealth fund, if he looks the other way when a journalist gets dismembered.
Remember last time Trump was in power he reportedly was trying to find a VP that would do the day to day running of the country and he would do the fun stuff like attend events and similar?
Incredible power move by Trump. It’s basically a loyalty test of Senate Republicans. Are they willing to promote to higher office a known security risk to show loyalty to Trump? Or will loyalty to country and their conscience win out? I think all we know how this will go.
I hope Trump doesn’t need any more favors out of her. Something like this would be enough to make someone leave the cult. I could not imagine how pissed I would be if that happened to me. She’s probably about to get to the anger stage of grief.
She did. Her nomination was rescinded weeks ago as MAGA realized they might very well lose the special elections in her district. She won that district with ⅔ of the vote. Go figure!
Isn't it at least mildly interesting that both his UN Ambassador choices so far have neocon cred? Suggests old school from the Bush days has unseen influence. Maybe.
Either another idiot become NSA, or another idiot becomes Secy of State. I wonder if he's trying to get Ivanka for State? Sure it's nepotism, you think he cares? Or maybe he'll elevate that blonde Barbie Blatherer in the press office to State?
I assume the way this works is that since Rubio is senate-confirmed, he can officially take over any and all departments, while the actual decisions are taken by MAGA/DOGE groypers who'd never have a chance of getting confirmed to anything. Another loophole in the Constitution.
Good point. I think the principle still stands, that Rubio as a figurehead doesn't cause a big fuss in the media, while the person really doing the job has an absolutely toxic history of racism/corruption/sexual assault/being a foreign agent etc.
That adds to the stupidity. Though the role of any Trump 2 UN Ambassador is not to handle secrets, but watch how Russia votes and copy it, while carrying a big bag of poop every day to throw at everyone except Russia and Israel, and stuffing paper towels down the toilets.
🤔 She's the Director of National Intelligence, so she'll get fired for doing something treasonous and unintelligent...but that'll never happen IRL...right?! 😏
So Teslas looking for a New CEO , The NSA just got canned. The SOS is moving into NSA ? Hmm how long before Musk is planted into The NSA or SOS ? I wouldn't bet against that .
This is just crazy, and so on brand for Trump. Walz is never going to be confirmed, but Trump needed a scapegoat for Whiskey Pete’s actions, so this spot was open, he shoved his eyesore scapegoat into it, perfect.
Feeling the same...once again, I am mystified by my continued lack of imagination regarding their absolute corruption and depravity. I keep saying nothing else could shock me...and this FASCIST Vlad-ministration sinks to a new low.
Hi,
Below 👇 is a petition for radical (status-quo breaking) reform of the UN 🇺🇳 and its “Security” Council, which I believe will be of interest to you/others: https://www.change.org/ReformTheUnitedNations
So we get senate hearings that will spend the whole time reviewing security and group text protocols. More headlines and news cycles on their incompetence. What a power move!
• quashed COVID
• rid fentanyl
• solved the Middle East peace process
• reformed the criminal justice system
• balanced the budget
• solved homelessness
• bettered our education system
• made drinking H2O safe
• filled all potholes
• cured blindness
• more!
The only things Kushner did successfully was get the Saudi MBS off the hook for Jamal Khashoggi's horrific murder, sell top secret intelligence to Saudi MBS which resulted in his jailing and murdering family members, and then for Kushner then to be given $2 billion to play with.
Waltz has to be confirmed, I am sure no one will ask about signal gate. The explosion you heard from New York was Elise Stefanik combusting and Rubio gets more responsibility without a raise. What compels these people to think Trump will not embarrass them.

Wubba Wubba Wubba!
$15 million resident, servants, cooks, massages daily, cocktail parties and a big salary.
Elise?

He's as dumb as they come.
The United States has pulled it's pants down, turned around, bent over, is pre-lubed and panting for the raping to begin.
Never forget, those in charge, those in power, ALLOWED this to happen.
FAFO
NO WAY!!!!
Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit

Thank you for your attention to this matter!
like the Peter Principle, only worse.

I call BS - Trump didn't write this...
even so...
wow.

Neither did Elise Stefanik.
Funny since he made a career out of saying “You’re Fired!” but that was scripted.
No one and everyone is in charge of everything and nothing at the same time.

Thanks for being the straight man for this punchline, Elise.
They're all doing down, down, DOWN anwyay

Because they’re such easy jobs - one can do both of them at the same time.
Who invited the head of MI5?
And the head of Mossad
Oh... I thought they were someone else
You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

Meh. Won’t be in that position for long, anyway, since FELON-47’s gonna pull US out of the UN, too.

Do we call this Orangewashing history
Hard to imagine what other crimes they committed
The bar for them is already subterranean
“Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
WTAF? That’s something you say to people who you employ!
Sorry, pal… WE employ YOU.
