Why is he announcing horrid cabinet picks now? To overwhelm us so we flail.

We've seen this before: by the time we catch our breath to respond to another outrageous thing, Trump has committed 3 more outrageous things. It's wack a mole on warp speed.

He will pump enough money/debt into the economy so the price of eggs is not so high while he joins the truly rich people in robbing the country blind. Think Putin. He'll turn whole government functions over to "the private sector" saying the private sector will be cheaper and do better which is exactly what Putin did. Putin of course took a cut under the table and so will Trump. Gaetz and Kennedy and Gabbard and all of them will be so horrid at their jobs their agencies will be nonfunctional which they will use as proof that we need to turn the FBI and Dept of Justice and FDA over to rich old white guys who will rob us blind.

Sick to watch it again.

Sorry, I watched too much news today (10 minutes). I'll be better at avoiding it.

There wasn’t last time at least none that had any real effect until the midterm elections. this time who knows if there will be any more valid elections.

One hope is that many of these people won’t last very long as in the past administration people got booted rather rapidly as I recall. But I think that was mostly for disagreeing with the psycho.
