  1. I feel a lot better now, knowing there’s a law against this kind of thing.
  2. Huh, Anastasis is excited about all the pro-Putin and pro-Assad picks and doesn’t have anything to say about the rabid anti-Palestine cabinet members. How about that. Maybe his concern is in the same place the Green Party goes whenever DJT isn’t in an election.
  3. Watching these picks roll in— Gabbard, Gaetz, the DoD guy— it reminds me of those stories where old people get catfished or fall for a Nigerian prince scam and then realize they’ve been scammed but keep sending money because they miss the connection or are too embarrassed to admit they’ve gotten scammed. Truly a masterclass into human psychology.
  4. I hope you understand that DJT has nothing but contempt for you and has just demonstrated it with this pick. This is a message to his followers as much as the hated libs, he is taking a shit in a box and making you eat it, and you think you’re winning because the libs realize they just got served shit in a box. Have some gotdamned self-respect.
  5. The end state of Q-Anon is putting Matt Gaetz in charge of law enforcement.
  6. Incidentally, “recess appointments” are what Matt Gaetz calls his dates.
  7. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trumps-team-drawing-up-list-pentagon-officers-fire-sources-say-2024-11-13/ Plans in the works to fire all the chiefs and vice chiefs, and anyone affiliated with Milley.
  8. You can collect stupid money consulting and speaking for life, though. Better than Senator. You get the best Rolodex at the end.
  9. It will be interesting to me to see if either Thune or Cornyn fully embrace the “we want to do recess appointments for DJT” in an attempt to grab the true believers or if they will do a gentleman’s agreement to just dance about and argue on other merits.
  10. You get a plane and a bigger advance detail/pomp when traveling than anyone except POTUS/VPOTUS. You’re more important while in the office than one of 100 senators. It likely is a handicap for future oval and high-level positions because the electorate does not value foreign policy; you’ll be a punching bag and the best case scenario is being relatively invisible. No one leaves with accolades anymore.
  11. Can this go here? The second it’s a secret ballot, GOP MAGA warriors get knifed by their colleagues. Lulz. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4988485-rick-scott-out-senate-leader-race/
  12. DJT has already announced that he just wants to do recess appointments not confirmations, and Scott is on track to make that happen.
  13. You are more qualified. I am not even a fan of giving the role to former flag officers, especially with little separation from the uniformed services as it’s a fundamentally different role to run the bureaucracy and be a civilian advisor. But damn, a Fox News host who ran PACs and wrote a book about Woke.
  14. Rubio has been conspicuously absent from the official announcements and there is a MAGA revolt. They want Grenell.
  15. Hegseth has been running grifting PACs and on Fox News, his concern is keeping Woke out of the military. He achieved the rank of major, his service can in no way be impugned but he is no more qualified than any other former 04 to run the DoD. Things are going to get stupid so fast, usually the DoD is the last domino to get treated like this. Toonces look out! @Chad Fuck
  16. This dude typed out, apparently seriously, that Ukraine is a “political quagmire.” Does not merit engagement, not here for engagement.
  17. Housing is tight because all all over the country bougie NIMBY types join forces with decaying and selfish boomers to ensure nothing ever gets built so that their property values will go up. Then the olds whine that their kids won’t have grandkids while squatting in what should be a young family’s starter home via FaceTime from their vacation.
  18. DJT will huff and futz but the danger is not that he will use the military against ordinary citizens or turn it into some tool of repression. He will instead enshitten it and stock it with mediocrities and channel procurements to wasteful vanity projects, eroding its capabilities as a fighting force with global reach. This is what authoritarians the world over do with their militaries. Look at how Arab nations do with theirs.
  19. A day off and semi-autumn weather called for something to cook all day. Red sauce with sausage, pork, and short ribs; served with the basic salad and a side of crusty garlic bread.
  20. This is accurate. Side note, he’s demanding recess appointments already. Do people have any idea what kind of loons are in line if he’s worried about confirmation in 53-47 senate?
  21. “I never thought the leopards would eat the faces of MY favorite special interest group that loudly advocated for the leopards eating faces party.”
  22. These types of stories make me cringe because Trump will be paying attention and this type of stuff enraged him and his team. Every journalist in Washington is looking to do the “federal employees prepare to resist Trump” story and all that will do is serve to accelerate his assault and give ammo to GOP moderates to go along.
