For you and other US political experts, a question: is it possible that Trump’s apparently batshit-crazy appointments are a way to flush out any Republicans in the Senate and Congress who are still trying to think for themselves and may not endorse Gaetz/Gabbard/Hegseth?
That is exactly what is happening.
Once he establishes who *his enemies are within*, he will systematically get rid of each and every one.
Do I think he’s going to keep Gaetz as AG?
Nope, it’s a smoke job.
Trump isn’t planning on going anywhere. But, boy does he have plans for everyone else.
That figures. It’s not only a case of wishing you guys the best for the next four years but just as valid now as ever is the phrase “when America sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold” and you’re sneshing out orange catarrh right now. Woe to us all
If he is smart he's going to do it, but I wouldn't overestimate him. The analogy with Stalin and Hitler comes to mind: Stalin used loyal butchers to kill all the enemies, and then butchered the butchers in 1937. Everyone still thinks it was paranoia. Hitler didn't do that, and paid the price.
A fucking travesty. Literally every choice he makes is worse than the previous one. I assumed Gabbard would get an ambassadorship or something, but this is beyond ridiculous.
Yes to all of this. As an aside, you are being unfairly added to a block list of "blue anon grifters" or something because they think you're trying to pass yourself off as jack smith. I don't know if adding parody to your account would help, but it might.
They have decided that anyone that has the brain functioning to realize everything is better than Trump belongs on the blue anon list. And God help you if defending democracy has become your bread & butter. I get it, people still have to eat.
Hello there! Just getting started here on Bluesky and would love to connect with folks with similar interests. Your profile caught my eye – would be great to connect as friends and exchange ideas. Looking forward to learning more about you and hopefully seeing what we can build together!

Most people know better.
Trying to appease those who are looking for reasons to bring you down, is a waste of time.

I put in the time to inform people (with humor) and keep hope alive
