“Why would [felon] want someone better at tv than him as SecDef?” The second one… is how much can he embarrass Rs who will pretend it’s amazing? Who wears more makeup? Obscene is the word. God help us.

Hopefully Thune winning senate majority leader is a sign that the most absurd won’t win confirmation.

I believe they will fall in line with their dear cult leader. They have proven that they will select him over country every time.

We know Trump can do what he wants w/out pushback from Repubs. The only questions to ask are: 1) Are there checks and balances in the system that can slow him down or thwart him completely? 2) Are there legal, concrete things we, as citizens, can do to keep our democracy?

We do? You could've fooled me.

I can’t help wondering what he’s holding back for MTG

VP can become president and stay till the next election

Nat Sec is so 2012

I’ll take your national security and raise you my family in Poland’s national security, after I read your new Defence dude’s views on Ukraine and Putin. Thanks Americans, the world salutes you. (yes, I know… not all Americans)

Putin is picking these people.

Yeah it also tell you how much of a joke his cabinet going to be

All conservatives lie. The "old guard Republicans" are long gone (and they lied too).

Only the beginning...the lunatics are running the asylum.

He's already "joking" about a third term...Just sayin

I see absolutely nothing so far to indicate that any significant number of repubs will push back.

Glad your hereeeee @atrupar.bsky.social

We don’t have words for these nominations bro. Jfc. Im spiraling and I honestly think that’s normal

More importantly, IF the country let's him! This is truly INSANE. WTF are the Democrats and our institutions???

yet here we are.

Not on our watch. We still have a voice. Start calling your senators now.

And yet GOP haven't signed any transition documents, met no deadlines for that process...? Is that still the case?

The way I read Article 2, Section 3, the recess, necessary to make all these appointments Acting, is in MAGA Mike's hands; the Senate Dems will keep it from ever adjourning for 4 years.

I agree

I TRULY do not know how we survive this. He wants to recess so can appoint these people and he gets to say when recess is over. If he never reconvenes, are we done? I mean forever? I really need to know what happens next. Can he just take over now, permanently.

He’s not looking for qualified people, he’s giving the best asskissers too cabinet positions. 😡

Bet he's going to shrink the reach of all executive branch offices and hold that power directly. He'll use their failures and ineptitude to strengthen his authoritarianism. Not a very good look for the land of the free.

Yep a rapist and a paedophile walked into A bar 🙄

Donald Trump has picked John Ratcliffe as CIA chief, Kash Patel misses out on top role.

Birds of a feather….

This is a blasphemous level appointment

Cabinet of freaks!

Who is Hegseth?

So bad, that Tulsi Gabbard isn't even the worst nomination today.

It’s terrifying!

He's just punking everyone, not a serious persion in any way.

Obscene? F**king outrageous!!

Maybe that’s just how he operates Trump steaks, Trump University…

We’ll see where the “real”Republicans fall on this one or are they just Maga now?

I thought you were joking about the Goetz nomination. 😲 This is seriously insane!

Unqualified and Unfit.

Trump is totally unserious. It’s about loyalty and nothing else. They are morons.

It all stinks of Bannon.

It was without any doubt since he announced his run and should he win. I’m just shocked how some peeps are still surprised.

Trump and Elon (walking Putin honeypot marks) are installing walking honeypot marks. Go figure.

Yes they are

He'll do an even more thorough dive into the toilet bowl for his next round of nominations.

Just wait until Marge gets her position

I’m old enough to remember when people who called themselves “conservatives” feared concentrated governmental power and believed it would inevitably lead to corruption, abuse, and tyranny. How many “conservatives” believe that now?

He’s only picking sycophants

yeah, but...............................we expected this stuff

And just think...Vance's picks in a couple of months will be worse.

Our new AG's mug shot, beside our new President's mug shot. Well done America. Well done.

He's testing the waters.

I follow you on Twitter. Following you here now.

River #kompromat flows through Putin's dacha.

No MTG yet?

All part of the GOP’s plan to destroy America

Pray Thune wields some influence

Russia is going to save a lot of money on spies. They can pay U18 minimum wage now.

Appealing to the Peter Thiel crowd. Roy Cohn must be as proud as Adolph.

Told my dad the exact same thing this afternoon.

This is supposed to be a proper US Government, not a goddamn apiary shop!

Bobo and MTG are in the hall drooling with anticipation.

Trump is casting his reality show. Nothing is normal anymore.

pretty sure spy kids is just a movie tho

It's almost as though Trump actively wants to destroy America. I can only speculate as to his motives for appointing the craziest and least qualified people to key posts.

I wish I could say openly what I think Joe Biden should have done when he was in a private meeting with Trump today.

The last 8 years he has bended knee don't see much how things will change anytime soon

It also shows us how dirty he is. Putting a child molester in your cabinet will catch the attention of even the most ardent Republican. We need to do a full court press on Joe Rogan, to get him to see/understand why he now OWNS every dirty and disgusting thing Trump has ever done and will do…

can't decide if he's cleverly creation months of spectacle for an ulterior purpose, or if he's just a fucking idiot and these the fanboys who suck up the best

He is testing the loyalty of senators. This is why he wanted recess appointments. There is no chance Matt Gaetz gets confirmed by the Senate.

Filling the swamp

The Department of Justice will be run by a MAGA predator. The rule of law is shredded.

He's unserious about governing.

it’s a clear indication of his intent on how to ruin America.

Unfortunately they need 4 GOP defections and I don’t see anyone outside of Collins and Lisa. Maybe Cassidy and who else? Also if you are an Ossoff or other red state dem why take the risk or voting against someone who will be confirmed anyway?

He's a convicted felon, so why not.🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm wondering if these two nominations aren't simply a loyalty test for Republican senators.

Let him appoint them. Honeypots, start your engines. We're ready for you mfs.

"Obscene" is exactly the word I was looking for.

yeah but have you seen the price of EGGS ???!

Feels like an SNL skit. He is mocking everyone

I hope we survive this clown show.

Can’t wait to find out what cabinet positions he will pick for Franklin Graham and ‘Dr’ Phil.

Replace guns with kompromat to see the new global power structure.

Both 🤡 are unfit to work at Baskin Robbins let alone the govt....

A repeat of last time only more expensive and more deaths. GLobal warming won.

Are maga ever going to be embarrassed by any of this it should be humiliating for them

Obscene is dead-on-balls accurate

I hope we find out there are more “Liz Cheneys/ Adam Kinzingers” out there. People who realize the republic is more important. Never thought I would have to say that.

💯

Don't forget Ms. Gabbard.

Obscene isn't a strong enough word.

Ment to make you squirm

1000%👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

Imagine being a victim of one of these morons and having to experience this. How does one ever recover?

I feel like that's part of the strategy. He's testing the bounds of blind obedience to him in the Senate.

Yes they are!

That’s the time to find alternative countries

I'm not sure there is enough schadenfreude in the world to get me through the next four years.

I refuse to be outraged, but this one is a real head scratcher. I assume the Senate majority will quietly kill this one before it goes on too long.

So is Tulsi Gabbard!! The Intel Community is aware of her admiration for Assad and Putin and there is no way our Allies are going to share Intel with the likes her...

Yes. He’s flinging poo

😆😆😆

😂 well if the powered nose fits…

This should have way more likes. 👍🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣

Gee...wonder who Matt Gaetz will be going after...

I can never decide if Gaetz is Bevis or Butthead

🎯

Feels like the Star Wars cantina

😂😂
