Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

[Raid]

They were joking on the Daily Show that the Democrats should just confirm all of these positions as a policy of "fuck around and find out".

I don't really get the logic here; why is he picking dangerously unqualified people for top jobs? It almost feels like there ought to be an angle, some scheme at work, when in reality it's almost certainly sheer bloody incompetence because Trump is so hilariously out of his depth. It's like a car crash, it's impossible not to look away from this.

Well that's massively disappointing. I guessed Stallone was probably a bit Republican leaning but outright supporting the type of despot leader he normally kills in his films is sad.

He's just going for Treasury Secretary.

I think he's just punishing America for not voting him in last time

But they did vote him in, remember? He won the popular vote by a lot. It was the billions of illegal immigrants, Mike Pence and the security staff from the Capitol building that stopped him from taking office.

They want to burn it all down...Musk is ravenous for The Spoils.

Wait till the end of The Dollar...that is near.

Might be worth buying a fiver of doge coin :p

There is a reason all the righties have been urging the buying of Gold and Silver these past years...SA, Russia and China want BRICS instead of the PetroDollar.

Just don't be left holding the bag when the pyramid collapses!

The tariffs one would assume. Going to hit Apple hard at least. Oh and 85% of Amazon is drop shipping so that tracks.

Head of Energy is the a climate change denying CEO of a fracking company and head of Communication is one Musk's buddies. He can cancel the license of any broadcast network and strip away regulations designed to prevent misinformation, just like in Russia.

[eny]

There is a reason they have all been sucking Orban's cock this past decade, they want impunity to do whatever they want, and no accountability whatsoever. The guardrails that haven't been guardrails will be guardrails no more..."we don't need any more votes".

...and the Dems have been party to this too, with their inaction to stem the abuse of privilege, they had 4 years to counter what has been going on and they stood by, because they are just as insulated from the real world, and protecting their comfort at the expense of the populace is just fine with them.

Donald Trump has picked World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) co-founder and his transition co-chair, Linda McMahon, as his nominee for education secretary.

This is like when I play Crusader Kings badly and have to grant whatever honorary titles I've got spare (Master of Swans, anyone?) to appease someone I'm in debt to.

[Animalmother]

Founder of the WWE for education secretary and Dr Oz to run Medicaid. You couldn't fucking present this to The Onion as it's so ridiculous!

If anyone doesn't know, Dr Oz is one of Oprah Winfrey's endorsed con artists who sells diet pills and promotes pseudoscience.

[Raid]

Dr. Oz? Dr. fucking Oz?! He's almost literally one of those travelling salesmen who want to tell you about their rejuvenating tonic that takes the zing of mercury and combines it with the restorative effects of asbestos. If Trump wanted an Oz I think the Wizard of would have been a better pick, he's more honest!

I know it's becoming redundant to say this, but America is absolutely fucked.

Tell me they don't want to burn it all down. Actions belie intent.
