Just a few of the unqualified nominees. It’s a shit show. 🤦
Trump is filling the government with loons, traitors, slackers, fools, blunderers and corrupt plutocrats. Most or Trump's nominees lack the competence, ethics, background, and character to be effective cabinet leaders.
What merit does Peter Hegseth have earned to head the department of Defense? He has no leadership skills to run a large department. He is a "pundit" on Fox News 😂
This low IQ "what about" ism is for stupid people who are not good at thinking and have poor judgment skills.
Proud to be a liberal woman. Proud to wear this totally unhinged radical liberal t-shirt in front of Republicans 👇
Dean, I have the utmost respect for you and all that you are doing to keep us informed.
With all that has come out about Gaetz saying he crushed and snorted Viagra to be able to 'keep going all night', I'd say it's time to reclassify Viagra as a date rape drug and make it illegal. My thought is that if a man's junk doesn't work anymore, it's in God's plan for him to stop having sex. And with abortion becoming unavailable for these unfortunate women, maybe sex should be for procreation and not for sport.
Yes, I'm angry. I'm angry at all those who didn't vote.
The Republican Party is the manly man’s party—unfeeling sex, rough & tough, and without consequence. Rape has evolved (seemingly) from abhorrent act to … oh well. Trump is a proven sexual predator, his pal Jeffrey Epstein, a pedophile. Two SCOTUS justices have had credible sexual misconduct allegations. Jim Jordan blithely worked alongside a short-eyes. The children of rape or incest are cherished, their mothers vilified. O brave new world!
trump went for the underage girls, too. And don't forget that he was sexualizing his daughter Ivanka from the time she was an infant. He is also a pedophile, even if that's not his main gig.
I join you in that anger at non voters but also at white women, hell any woman who voted for him. I'm angry at idiots who think the price of eggs is more important than democracy. I'm angry at climate deniers, at people who voted for trump just to "stick it to the libs", at Latinos who voted for him after his rally featured the "floating garbage" asshole (refuse to call him a comedian), at any black person who voted for him after, "they're eating the dogs...". I'm just angry period. I'm especially angry that a woman who was highly qualified and ready to roll up her sleeves for every single person in the country regardless of nationality, race, gender, religious affiliation, or political background was rejected by so many people who only voted for trump because he will make us miserable.
The only person who could do that would be Joe Biden, and he's too nice to ever do something like that. America is finished as a democracy. We will never come back from this.
And yet, my husband reported to me today that Joe Biden has lifted the ban on Ukraine's using the long range missiles we've given them. IMO, it's his version of "do whatever the hell you want to".
This isn't an incoming administration - it's an outgoing of life as we know it - and a potentially terminal blockade to life as it could be.
These so called men and their sycophantic base of eternal puberty are parading with impunity towards the most consequential levers of power to have ever existed. Should be fine.
Besides their ass kissing loyalty to t, all 3 of these individuals (including t) believe the new slogan, your body my choice. They hate women and believe them to be their little playthings to abuse any way they want. This is the “boys” club, (which is an insult to the word boys; maybe it’s more accurate to say the sociopath club) where misogyny, fascism, racism (and more isms) and abuse reign. These are dangerous individuals who deserve prison time. I regularly feel like throwing up. These individuals, especially if they’re in power, give permission to others to be the same way as them. I hate to use the words boys, men, males, people even to describe them because it’s insulting to healthy and good men. We cannot forget that there are good men and women in spite of these despicable toads.
I agree with you completely, Kathy, and would love to see all of them in prison. I'm thinking that Melania has figured out all of this and that's why she's not planning to come back to the White House in January. I also want to say that I am very grateful for all the good men, starting with my husband and all the ones I've met in the Substack comments.
14th Amendment ! The 6, SCROTUS, have deliberately and intentionally and clearly denied the plain black letter language in our Constitution in their traitorous decrees, going back to Citizens U and Bush v Gore and the rest.
Insurrectionists must not occupy federal positions. Period.
So what do we do? For starters, I suggest / insist, and I’ve seen others reminding US:
Number 1 — Do not forget! to begin every conversation about the next administration, and next Congress, with that 14th amendment fact. — best luck to US, b.rad
I agree that both Gaetz and Hegseth are extremely dangerous to our country, but so are Gabbard and RFK Jr. Gabbard is a fan of Vladimir Putin, and RFK Jr. is a conspiracy theorist as well as a science denier who has absolutely no qualifications to care for the health of the country.
I figure I have a few months to figure out which country will accept a retired couple. I can't stay here and watch the destruction of the country I used to be proud of. I know there are some that will allow immigrants if they can afford to pay cash for a home and we can do that once we sell ours.
I wish I felt up to moving to a different country. At this point in our lives, moving would be too complicated. But I would like to be able to live out whatever time I have left in peace.
My mom is 86 and my stepdad is 90. They are scared to death of Elon doing something that hurts them financially. They still live on their own and worry about everything since he won. My mom told me she finds it depressing to know her last years will be spent watching the orange menace destroy her country.
My husband and I are 80 and 79 respectively, and I find it depressing the same way your mom does. We also live on our own and are trying to remain positive until we can't be any more. One thing we are very grateful for is having each other. I am also grateful for all the good people I encounter here and on the other Substacks I read. I hope that Musk doesn't do anything that hurts your parents financially. I have heard that since the position he's been chosen for isn't real, he'll have to get anything he wants done through congress. These days, given that apparently the house has gone red, that doesn't give me a lot of hope. We will wait and see what happens.
Gaetz (and Trump) want to point the DOJ at their enemies and critics, including BLM but not, apparently, neo-nazis. Hegseth aims wars at women, Muslims and non-Christians. How about actual miscreants, boys?
Why are all of his cabinet level people new? Why are there no members from his first Term? The answer is everybody who served with him in his first administration campaigned against him. Now we will have to go through the hard lesson of learning all over again why it is a bad idea to have crazy people in charge of America.
Bros have always been toxic. Will always be. Will never stop. But I agree the even stupider ones will misread this and hopefully earn a taser or at least a solid punch in the face.
Add Speaker Johnson to that
Indeed! Amidst this wealth of sexual miscreants, I forgot Pious Mike, porn pal with his (Christian) son.
And so very ironic, Project 25 calls for a ban on porn. Goodness me, how will the GOP survive?
Oh, perish the thought! Well, they can only hope Mr. Gaetz’s videos are still in the cloud.
Matt Gaetz, Elon Musk, Pete Hegseth, RFK Jr.

Now more than ever!
As we say at CNI, narcissists of a feather flock together.

Yes, I'm angry. I'm angry at all those who didn't vote.
Great idea. And let's get those Bluechew commercials out of our faces.
I'm with you on that! I'm sick of ALL prescription medication ads, especially blue pill ads.
There was no one to vote for.
The Republican Party is the manly man’s party—unfeeling sex, rough & tough, and without consequence. Rape has evolved (seemingly) from abhorrent act to … oh well.

It is an upside down world now

I'm with you 100%! I'm angry also at the people who voted against their own interests so that they could continue to feel "superior" to others.
We need to throw Trump, Gaetz, Hegseth, and MAGAts in prison to save our sacred Democracy!
The only person who could do that would be Joe Biden, and he's too nice to ever do something like that. America is finished as a democracy. We will never come back from this.
And yet, my husband reported to me today that Joe Biden has lifted the ban on Ukraine's using the long range missiles we've given them. IMO, it's his version of "do whatever the hell you want to".
Yes we need to, But Who Will?? No one, for their To Afraid, and Have ZERO MORALS Or ETHICS... Frustrating 😡... Oh what are we becoming.

Respectfully, these are little boy bullies, not men.

To my mind, RFK Jr. is pandemic trump on steroids and then some.
