I believe Alex Jones is also available.

I would think that have at least one sexual assault allegation or shooting a defenceless pet would be prerequisites for being selected for a position by Trump.

Just a reminder of how far we've fallen... remember this?

Zoë Baird - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Baird was Clinton's first unsuccessful nominee for United States Attorney General in 1993. She withdrew her name from consideration when it was learned that she had informed Clinton that she and her husband had hired undocumented immigrants to serve as her chauffeur and nanny and also not paid their Social Security taxes.

We've gone from NannyGate to Tailgate in 30 years.

So McConnell says no to recess appointments.

Can he carry the GQP?

Or is his influence totally gone?

...Or is his influence totally gone?

When you are about to leave, you don't want to be remembered as a pussy... or the guy that presided over the Reichstag fire. He already has that speech during the 2nd impeachment that is going to be in the history books.

Today's news cycle on Rapey Raperseth is not going well.

Trump Pentagon pick had been flagged by fellow service member as possible 'Insider Threat'

Pete Hegseth, the Army National Guard veteran and Fox News host nominated by Donald Trump to lead the Department of Defense, was flagged as a possible “Insider Threat” by a fellow service member.

Pete Hegseth, the Army National Guard veteran and Fox News host nominated by Donald Trump to lead the Department of Defense, was flagged as a possible “Insider Threat” by a fellow service member due to a tattoo on his bicep that’s associated with white supremacist groups.

Hegseth, who has downplayed the role of military members and veterans in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack and railed against the Pentagon’s subsequent efforts to address extremism in the ranks, has said he was pulled by his District of Columbia National Guard unit from guarding Joe Biden’s January 2021 inauguration. He’s said he was unfairly identified as an extremist due to a cross tattoo on his chest.

This week, however, a fellow Guard member who was the unit’s security manager and on an anti-terrorism team at the time, shared with The Associated Press an email he sent to the unit’s leadership flagging a different tattoo reading “Deus Vult” that’s been used by white supremacists, concerned it was an indication of an “Insider Threat.”

Hegseth's crusade(white power) tatts are getting a lot of buzz right now...but they won't kill his nomination.

Nor will his being pulled from NG defense.

I don't for one minute buy McConnell's nonsense. He is once agaian as always trying to have it all ways...mumbling some disaffection in order to be recorded in the history books...but in the end he will vote the way his owners tell him. Like he did before.

He could have led the conviction of Trump in impeachment but was told not to.

He knows he will die soon and he could make a difference, but he will cave like the rest.

Roman historians saw this all before and we are seeing it all again.

Trump says he will nominate Dr. Oz as the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Jesus Christ.

Is Russell Brand available for anything?

 

[Dargelos]

Do you remember the very funny 1967 movie "The Producers" in which a fat conman teams up with his nerdy sidekick to create the worst possible, worst imagineable, Broadway musical. They carefully select the most talentless incompetent nobodies to be in the cast. The plan is to set up scam in which the show has to lose money so that they can rip off the investors.
Sounds far too close to present day reality dont you think?
In the movie justice prevails and the fat conman and his nerdy friend wind up in prison together.
I wish the real life version would end like that but it won't. We all know it won't.

I love how Trump made RFKjr sit there looking like he eats McDonald's. Total power play on Trump's part...akin to the public humiliation of Mitt Romney in 2016.

From Andy Borowitz today:

"Nation’s Funeral Directors Praise Nominations of RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz"

 

[rareboy]

And where are the lies?

"He’s essentially pimping out our men and women in uniform to a foreign power who's the highest bidder...He is unfit to be our commander-in-chief."

—Russian state media darling Tulsi Gabbard on "president" elect Donald Trump, 2019

Just a reminder of how deadly RFKjr could be for the United States. His role in the deaths of dozens of people in Samoa.

Trump Picks Linda McMahon, Named in 'Ring Boy' Sex Abuse Case, to Run Education Department

President-elect Donald Trump nominated his transition co-chair Linda McMahon to serve as secretary of the Department of Education.

I guess she can't be more evil and venal than Betsy deVos.

Or can she?

 

[rareboy]

Wait, what?

 

[KaraBulut]

One down...

Great headline. Now if they could just find the papers showing that she co-owned those pizza parlors with Hillary, then maybe...

Linda McMahon, Trump’s Education pick, was sued for allegedly enabling sexual abuse of children​

https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/21/business/linda-mcmahon-abuse-wwe-trump-education/index.html

A recent lawsuit alleges Linda McMahon, who President-elect Donald Trump tapped to lead the Department of Education, knowingly enabled the sexual exploitation of children by a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) employee as early as the 1980s — allegations she denies.

The beauty of 6 year terms, is most of the Senators know that they'll be around after Trump is a distant, unpleasant memory.

In the meantime, there's another government shutdown impending in just 30 days from today...

The Gaetz details are starting to leak. The two women that Gaetz paid for sex, one of whom was underage, received over $10,000 via Venmo.

Yet the DOJ wouldn't indict Gaetz.

Rumors are that Gaetz wants to run for Florida governor, since DeSantis is term-limited.
