A must read by @davidfrum.bsky.social who gets it exactly right.
"Merit, competence, integrity—none of that matters. Or rather, those good qualities seem to be active disqualifiers. Trump’s picks are selected for obedience only." https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/12/trumps-fbi-kash-patel/680840/

2. Tulsi there to give Putin full access to everything DNI has.
3. Hegseth, with his mix of incompetence and past adultery / rape, would be a perfect candidate for Russia to get kompromat on
The apathy of the American people is, however, astounding.

Really can’t be sure how David squares FBI directors being above politics with like, civil rights and the anti war movement.
Now, it's hail to a CONVICTED RAPIST and FELON whose wet dream is to build concentration camps! Wait til he rounds up those who actually voted for him, the price of eggs will be the least of their problems.!!

Like yeah, I'm struggling a bit. This year has been kinda mid. But I'm fine.
THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS, THEY'RE EATING THE CATS OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE
and win an election. It's wild lmao.
The difference now being that social media has made it much easier for those who understand human frailties to manipulate us. Refusing to acknowledge that is counter productive if you want to be able to counter the damage being done.
And sanity. That doesn't matter either.
Integrity would actually be a disqualifying.
I believe that the Great Pumpkin is planning to crash the economy and forclose on everybody; corporate, small biz, banks, everyone.
The oligarchs buy everything on the cheap and we all become vassals to our betters.
El-moron becomes the Lord of Tech.
Elon + moron = El-moron
True story.
Because I find hearsay hard to believe
Obedience and a rein of destruction.
I’m looking for anyone at this point who will uphold the Constitution and start holding him accountable.
Trump is picking people whose misdeeds normalize his. They're felons, frauds, misogynists, etc.
I think @davidfrum.bsky.social nails it!
However, there is another factor at work here:
Many of these kakistocracy picks are what Putin wants in order to inflict maximum harm to America.
Those idiots will destroy all remaining guardrails and wreck our democracy and hurt
If we don’t stop these truly awful, craven people and any similarly awful picks from taking office, the damage will be a catastrophe costing potentially many millions of Americans their health and their livelihoods and their lives!
It's that,
the Iran-Contra Scandal, the Lincoln & Kennedy assassinations,
and the Dubya/Cheney corporation- invented weapons of mass destruction COMBINED, folks.

It’s time they start hearing our voices over Trump and his followers!!!!!
So, worse than the first term then.
Patel is a dangerous traitor--not a "partisan firebrand" as NYT euphemizes him.
SCOTUS’ immunity decision did that.
Please tell me that you didn’t expect more from Trump
Surely, having such a trailblazing and brilliant mother doesn't hurt either!
Highly detracted of course, with all Trumpers removed, including Trump being on the flight logs 7 times.
It’s all projection. QAnon was started by a pedo. They’re all pedos. Trump, Musk, Gaetz, etc
The cult voted for racists, rapists, and pedos. 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
P.S.: The GOP adopted his broken compass when they made Trump their candidate in 2016.

It simply won’t matter what a bunch of men wrote down all those years ago. Won’t matter at all.
I tried to look something up today from Trump era (something I remember) & references were difficult to locate
I'm hoping this was an aberration but since it involved covering up Trump/Russia stuff, I am worried it's our future
