Not good to hear this for the short term result but longer term it could be good news for the Dems in the midterms if 2022 was any indication.

You have to imagine that Elon is going to fund some real nutcase challengers to some of these Republicans. Primary challenges more in the vein of a Marjorie Taylor Green and Lauren Bobert, candidates more likely to lose in a competitive general election.

Provided the 2026 elections are free and fair. You can ask Edman about that.

We're in the midst of a full on takeover by lunatics, anti-vaxxers, fascists, and alleged sexual traffickers and this guy is concerned and talking about ratings? 

Doesn't hurt him, he's a white cisgender man of great means.

Gaetz is going to end up being a win for the Rebellion.  

Trump is going to need a strong AG to make the right legal arguments on many of his controversial mandates.   That’s not Gaetz.  He’s an entitled rich kid that’s gotten by on the heels of his family connections and the idiocy of Florida Man.  He won’t be able to stand on his own and protect Trump and his interests in the face of the law.   He will do much more harm than good for Trump.

Does anybody else remember footage from an early cabinet meeting in 2016, in which they all went around in a circle heaping praise on Drumpf? That was sickening enough-I really hope I don't accidentally see any footage of how they act this time.

Yep, it would have been the one where Mattis actually didn't play along.   Mattis resigned about halfway through so this would have been 2017-2019.

Here is the video clip of all Trump's cabinet members praising him. I'm sure stuff like this happens, to an extent, in most administrations. I don't know if it is always laid on this thick in front of the cameras. But I wouldn't be shocked that it happened with Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Reagan, etc.
