    LOL, rule of law applied to the cons, what a quaint notion.

    When Trump does something anymore, I look to see what he is doing to emulate Hitler.

    Here’s my conspiracy theory right now:

    He’s trying to choose placements that will either a)litmus test current Republican senators so he can get his base to replace them and/or b) setting them up such that he can dismantle the uncooperative lying Senate that is blocking America’s will.

    It’s probably as simple as hiring the biggest Russia kiss asses, but I still have my fears

      He’s picking people that have damaging kompromat held over them, to guarantee that they will follow absolutely any order.

        Yeah. There was talk about using the 25th Amendment at the end of Trump’s first term. That won’t happen with this cabinet.

      SecDef choice is meant to disrupt the military so it is not as effective.

    Jesus christ you know it’s bad when you agree with John fucking Bolton. Those two are, at best, treasonous Russian assets.

        There’s pretty likely to be compromising information on Gaetz, so that could qualify.

        Gabbard is a hindu facist, she’s part of that international right-wing reactionary coalition that formed after the arab spring freaked all the authoritarian leaders from Modi to Putin.

        Unless the OP believes that John Bolton is comprised of more than one person, they were probably talking about the two that Bolton cited as needing an investigation, not Bolton himself.

            Check my reply above. I think there were some words left out in the original reply. The Russian assets they referred to was probably not Bolton himself, if you re-read the OP comment.

    Those investigations had better be a lot more thorough than the ones done for bouf-boy Kavanaugh!

      Just release the results of the investigation that he just resigned from congress to prevent form being made public.

        Oh, when they don’t confirm his appointment he will have resigned and lost his job, hopefully for good!

          He resigned from the current Congress and was reelected to the next one where the Republicans have the majority

      That’s why Biden would be well within his rights as the president to have them all hung. But he’s just going to let the fascists in with open arms.

        That’s a political bomb right there. I mean it either slams the brakes on fascism or the accelerator. And that’s not to say they’ll stop trying to reshape the nation. Our institutions are only as strong as our leadership and right now having a spine is an immediate disqualifier.

      They knew they’d never make it on their looks, so they became republicans so they could take what they wanted without consequence.

    Gaetz has a decent chance of getting more done than milquetoast Merrick. (Laughcry 😭)

    This timeline is completely FUCKED.
