Twitter is hoping for Dept of Education, not sure if it's truly people supporting it or folks making fun of his picks and thinking it would fall in line with the others.

Do we know anymore that the majority of people will mind living with the consequences? We have assumed that most Americans would not want a right wing authorotarian dictatorship, but maybe they actually do.  

We're going to find out.

Either way, as much as we bend over backwards to blame campaign strategy, the inconvenient truth is that the voters are the one who walk into the booth and pull the lever or fill in the box. And much of what we saw today was broadcasted ahead of time.

Elon had hair transplants, his face worked on, and he promotes boner pills and testosterone.... some would call that "gender affirming care".

 

 

Also find all the AI imagery that seems increasingly associated with RW Twitter accounts (including Elon's) to be both strange and revealing.

I will say with the Matt Gatez pick,  I did not see that cuming

I always though Musk looked kind of effeminate.  I wonder if his hatred and abuse of his kid was really projection.

Gaetz looks like the Mom from Brazil... Way too much plastic surgery going on or something

For a political party that fears misconstruing of genders and likes to focus on being men being rugged and tough, they sure do have some "leadership folks" that test some of those boundaries.

Trump speaks about running a third term, and of course his servants dismiss it as a “joke”.

 President-elect Trump floated the prospect of seeking a third term in an apparent joke to House Republicans on Wednesday as they met ahead of internal leadership elections. 

“That was a joke. It was clearly a joke,” Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) said after the meeting. “I leaned over to somebody beside me, [Arizona Rep.] Andy Biggs, and I said, that’ll be the headlines tomorrow, ‘Trump trying to thwart the Constitution,’ which — there’s nothing further from the truth.”

This prompts Daniel Goldman to issue a resolution to clarity the 22nd amendment.

I’m already tired of this circus, and we have four damn years of it.

To answer this, just imagine, where is she the least qualified and thus can do the most damage, hurting and impoverishing the most people? Housing and Urban Development would be a good one for that.

I don’t know.  Just by age, Trump is closer to the end than Vance.  We know Trump has no empathy for anything but himself.  Vance might be just as selfish, but we don’t know for sure.  At some point Vance spoke against Trump.  I don’t know, his flip flop is quite odd, but maybe he’s like the rest of MAGA and just sees a gravy train led by Trump as long as they convey all fealty to him.

Whatever kompromat the Russians had on Vance to make him flip on Trump isn’t going away when he dies.

I was thinking Education, but since they're shuttering that position. HUD may be the next best fit

one potential bright spot.... he's getting some of the bigger kooks out of the legislature.

She's white. HUD will be Kanye or David Clarke.

But see, that's what makes her the perfect Trump pick. They want to show they won't kowtow to nigras like some woke assholes would. They'll want to destroy HUD from the inside. She can do that.

Is that Nancy P?

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Among the 17 or so reasons I wouldn't want Matt Gaetz as my Attorney General is that I worry he would always be late to work from getting stuck in traffic.
