    Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, told Punchbowl News she was “shocked” by the pick.

    She’ll end up voting for him, I guarantee it.

    No.

    Not the Onion?

    Really?

    May the women and girls of your country shun you for the rest of your days and beyond, even after the resistance maims, jails, and hangs you.

      Director of National Intelligence.

      Because lasers.

      Holy fucking shit… Never mind.

      He picked tulsi gabbard.

        MTG was scooped for DNI by Tulsi Gabbard, which is significantly worse. Maybe MTG can head up NOAA so she can use the weather control devices to put the hurricanes and tornados in California rather than the red states with weather and geography conducive to their formation.

      I hope MTG gets national security advisor. If we’re going full farce, might as well make it funny.

    So a pedophile sex trafficker runs the justice department.

    I expect a slew of resignations. Probably exactly what Trump wants anyways.

      If you get enough resignations, the department is unable to operate, because those empty roles are going to get filled with more people who are so stupid they can’t even crime correctly.

      Widespread incompetence may be our only hope.

        That’s honestly what I’m hoping for too. If anyone can fuck this up, it’s Trump and his administration.

          My perspective is that in his first term, he rewarded loyalty but also attempted to place some pieces based on merit. He learned that he needed more loyalty to do what he wanted, (Pence wouldn’t do what trunp wanted on j6), so he’s going all out loyalist this go around.

          Hopefully yall are right. They incompetence is so great they’re wildly useless. Because we’ve already seen they’re will be no consequences for their actions

    Man, mandatory voting in my country was never popular, but am I glad we have it. We still elect right wing nutjobs, but compared to their American counterparts they’re positively benign.

      I’m not really sure more people voting would have kept Trump out of power. We were already getting to some extremely dumb people in the undecided category, and those were the ones that made the smallest of efforts to participate in democracy.

    "I was shocked at the nomination. This is why the Senate’s advice and consent process is so important. I’m sure that there will be many, many questions raised at Mr. Gaetz’s hearing.”

    — Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), quoted by Punchbowl News, on the nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to be Attorney General.

    The book will be open on Gaetz.

    Must see TV.
