    Is anybody in the Republican party in the senate, congress or whichever not freaking out over his picks? Don’t they have a final say?

      When you swear ultimate fealty to a cult leader, the officers of the cult are by default the best picks. If you can’t see it, it’s a problem with you and not a problem with the cult leader.

      Until those folk are no longer needed, outlive their usefulness, or turn on Trump of course. Then the handpicked officers in question were actually agents of “The Enemy” all along and needed to be purged.

      They confirmed her 81-19 for administrator of the Small Business Administration. That was dumb but they were ok with it then.

      She was on the state board of education in Connecticut for a little over a year under their last GOP governor. So I guess that’s some experience at least. Totally qualified to run education for the entire fucking country.

      🔥 This is fine. 🔥

      The real danger is what Heritage Foundation ghouls will be running the show under her, and the other cabinet members. All these clowns are just the people Trump wants in the room with him. They don’t need to be qualified or do anything but kiss his ass on camera. It’s the Project 2025 deputy-weirdos we should worry about.

        Maybe if Trump really doesn’t care about project 2025 and just keeps on going with his celebrity cabinet, then maybe they’re going to fuck up so bad they’re all doing to be ridiculed and Trump could be impeached over some incredible fuck up or fraud.

            He could still die. Would throw the GOP into a massive internal power struggle for probably another decade or so.

              Imagine if he lives and runs write-in campaign, or endorses Gaetz or Lake for '28 and throws the GOP primary into chaos… at this point I’m rooting for him to live out his term since Vance could execute the Project 2025 agenda more competently.

      Heard plenty of GOP noise against Gaetz, but that’s about it.

      And yes, Congress has the say unless Trump’s people convince them to approve interim appointments. Even McConnell said, “Fuck that noise.”

      And now witness decades, like since the 50s decades, of the Legislative branch ceding power to the Executive. And here we are.
