      People who have baggage are easily controllable. Trump’s a mob boss, and he’s equally in the pocket of Putin. He’s used to these tactics.

        Emperor Trump has a quiz for you dissidents: does this napkin smell like novichok? Answer honestly, you peasant.

      What the hell are you talking about?

      The president-elect has no idea what Gaetz looks like. The president-elect doesn’t even know Gaetz. The president-elect has never considered Gaetz for AG. The president-elect and Gaetz have never met.

        For the uninformed, this is funny (and sarcasm) because there’s mountains of evidence of them together. Besides, you know, picking him for AG. But he tries this defense all the time anyway, and people actually believe it.

        Just like explicitly Trump calling up members of Congress to kill the bipartisan border bill, and then blaming the Democrats for not passing a border bill. They sold that one on the campaign trail too, and it worked.

          To be fair Tim Walz tried to point out that Trump voted down the Border Bill… and everyone just laughed at him and called him Tampon Tim because America is currently in its “Too Dumb To Live” phase

          Thank you. I don’t mark my sarcasm and I thought I was going to get my post removed for misinformation again lol

            Yeah, there’s another one not marked that’s been up for hours. “Tulsi Gabbard to be Director of National Security.” Yeah, okay. Funny joke.

      Every pick has been specifically chosen to be bad for their role.

      Gaetz was 100% chosen for ATTORNEY GENERAL because of the accusations.

        Kinda feels like it. I wonder if the idea is to lower the bar for the next pick – someone who sucks 75% as badly?

          I think he’s testing loyalty in the party. I think he wants exactly who he has chosen.

        It’s like one massive trolling so they can say “see how bad it could have been? Now take this close to but not quite as bad choice and like it.”

        He will never top Romney for head of the DOE. Yes yes it’s bad to appoint people as a form of trolling but you have to admit sometimes he’s funny.
