The clown car is moving towards DC. No one can make up this crazy! A FOX News host for Secretary of Defense, & a puppy shooting Governor who Trump loves to touch🤮 I definitely don’t feel safe!
Discovered on election night (while looking for other countries, again) that I am, as we speak, a Canadian citizen! Gotta jump through a few hoops to get the Certificate of Citizenship but hoo boy, nice to have an escape hatch. Thanks, Mom!
The one thing they’ll have going for them is the fact they’re not the worst people. After all - it’s necessary to have another level below that actively supports and cheers them.
Last week I was trying to describe a situation at work where I feel like I don't understand anything, and I said I felt like I was at the peak of the Dunning-Kruger curve because, clearly, what I need to learn are some humbling things about how a Dunning-Kruger curve works.
I recently heard on a podcast about words that there was an obscure British term that meant "proud of one's own ignorance". So it goes beyond Dunning Kruger: not oblivious to their own ignorance, but fully aware and proud of it.
I've lived this is my province for about six years now where every govt job is about grift and quid pro quo, but it still shocks me a bit to see it at US federal govt level. It was to be expected but it's still like waking up in the upside down.
I’ll just use the synonyms: -Clown show

- FUBAR Forever
-KKK 2.0 rides again
-Criminals Anonymous
- Con Artists ‘R’ Us
-I was a teenage pussy grabber

The game show host is Drama on Steroids.
Perhaps our drug companies could design a medicine for drama addiction. We have 75 million customers for them.
This is incorrect and minimizes how sinister Elon/Trump/Vance are. We are in a kleptocracy/oligarchy...the people in charge (Elon and Trump) are putting stupid people in charge of things for a reason, it's not because they dont know what they are doing, its because they want people they can control
The thing is, when these characters get exiled, he's going to appoint acting this and that and those are the real danger. This is just Performance. These people are being used as the shiny object. I hate shiny things.
I’m thinking he picked some of the worst cabinet picks so that they are blocked and then he picks those that aren’t quite as bad but are still pretty bad
Maga republicans lie about anything and everything. Then several networks, anchors, more dishonest maga officials and others back up false claims and bs as facts.
And then we vote with no chance to win because we are running honest against maga lies and you can't win.
Yes, we had the same feeling in the UK when #LizICrashedTheEconomyTruss was Prime Minister, this was actually before she crashed the economy to the tune of £64 billion.
If it's anything like his last term, it'll just be a revolving door of idiots. People in his immediate circle don't have a long shelf life before he shoves the knife in their back.
Good, solid operational terms for distinguishing what brings us here: Resistance. Too many terms bandied about during the election are at risk of being assumed to mean the same thing -- Marxist, Fascist, Communist, etc. -- but in the eyes of too many misguided beholders who may never really get it.
The term saw increased usage during the presidency of Donald Trump, going viral when MSNBC host Joy Reid and former CIA Director John Brennan used it to insult Trump in 2017 and 2018 respectively. 😒
There's no need for them to be competent at the job they're *supposed to do* if their actual job is the Republican governing version of private equity.
These previews on the upcoming season of White House of Villans... I think we all know how loyalty works so well in reality shows. 🤔

I had to Google how to pronounce kakistocracy. And, it occurred to me that the first two syllables kinda sound like caca (Spanish word for shit). That seems pretty fitting and I won't have any trouble remembering how to pronounce it now.
Hello Bluesky people! Glad to be here and out of the toxic muck of X. Unlike just watching that dumpster fire, I want to be more active here and would appreciate a follow. I’ll, of course, follow back. I’m somewhat funny, insightful, and occasionally both.
There was enough American ignorance and loss of critical thinking ability from to actually make this happen. A vast number of humans are just selfish, ignorant, arrogant, fools.
After election day 2016, I tried to comfort myself by thinking perhaps that at least that Trump would surround himself with people who are experienced in their roles.
Obviously, that turned out to be a joke.
Only to be outdone this week.
Trump is assembling a cabinet that won't invoke the 25th Amendment on him. That is why he is making these as recess appointments to end-around his own GOP Senate.
Word was the Heritage Foundation wants to 25A Trump and install Vance.
Trump is appointing loyal clowns to be sure that won't happen.
While I agree that he thinks he's naming people to the cabinet who will be loyal to him in the face of the 25th, he's drawing from a pool that would sell out their own mother to get more power and money themselves. Vance already trashed his own mother, and Thiel has the money.
But he's choosing people who know they would never rise higher than this for the rest of their lives. If Trump dies in office, every one of them will get broomed in 48 hours, IMHO.
It’s an interesting hypothesis , but I think he picked 3-4 cabinet members that are so radical that they’re going to get blocked. So, perhaps he had better find three more loyalists that aren’t quite as as radical so everyone gives a sigh of relief.
Hair Fuehrer replaced a 4 STAR GENERAL with a FOX NEWS ANCHOR that was a MAJOR for Secretary of Defense?!?!? He's filling positions with YES MEN so he can make all the decision with no arguments, just "YES, SIR" 🤢
It was bad enough before when he put the guy that ran on eliminating the EPA in charge of it, and tried to give a cabinet position to the guy that gave Epstein House arrest. With nothing to lose this time I'm expecting him to nominate an animal, or worse, Eric.
I remember this word from his first term of befouling the people’s house. Until last Tuesday, I really thought we had a chance of not needing to use it again so soon.
Pence and other Republicans are saying "I am so pleased" with Trump's picks but some have bad aspects... supporting those charged with war crimes, charged with trafficking a child, etc.
Those aspects don't seem pleasing to me so I wonder at the "I am so pleased." Was it only about Rubio?
(Of course with so many Republicans not supporting Trump because he isn't supporting Republican ideas that my dad would have held I feel like I am using the term "Republican" or "Conservative" loosely and perhaps I should just say MAGA.)
Girl, next year is going to be awful & brutal. I knew I had to bounce from Twitter bc there's no way I'm going to be able to take a bunch of psychopaths cheering mass deportations on.

So what are the odds they can keep Kash out of the intel community? It will be like Putin has the corner office at Langley.
(sigh)
Move fast, break things, seize more power.

Like Elise Stefanik for UN ambassador.

I DON’T WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN 😭
And that will just be how the rest of our lives go.

But with Trump being the head I do think there is perhaps fear of reprisal too. I wonder.
