Next one up Matt Geatz….

Only the best….He looks good on tv though….Apparently.

I guess the DOJ won't be looking into his underage sexual activities anymore.
Tulsi Gabbard for National Intelligence.

I know the GOP has full control, but I wonder if there will be any fight against any of these appointments. I'm guessing no.

Gaetz has also resigned effective immediately. That probably closes his ethics investigation without the committee issuing a report. And I’m guessing the Pubs will try to replace him before the new class is sworn in but that timing seems tight.

Given how close the House is, I’m curious whether the Trump team is counting or if they will screw this up in the bigliest way possible.

I was cautiously optimistic when he named Rubio secretary of state. I don't like Rubio's politics and don't like that he has sold his soul to MAGA but he is generally qualified for the role.

The rest of these losers are truly frightening. This is not a game or a joke. It truly seems like Trump is appointing people who a) kiss his backside most aggressively, and b) will most piss off the libs. He has plenty of kool aid drinking sycophants who are at least somewhat qualified for the jobs.

I wonder how all the evangelicals feel about Hegseth having a child with another woman while married. DoD is a huge, complex organization. I appreciate that he has actively served. But he hasn't led anything. This is a real job. People die if it is not run properly (insert Jack Nicholson speech here). Trump's Secretaries of Defense during his first term were generally qualified. This guy is a clown.

And Musk and Vivek should not be within a mile of government. We thought Trump's conflicts of interest were bad? Musk is ridiculous. The worship of him because he makes a lot of money is nuts. Unfortunately, we no longer have any checks and balances to deal with any of this.

I think he is also upsetting traditional Republicans!!

On a slightly different note I am seeing all these jokes on line about Mike Johnson being the happiest man alive tonight.

“Mike Johnson is the happiest man on earth right now. His worst employee just got promoted to a different department. Whooohooo!”.

This is great. Infowars has been bought by The Onion.

The satirical news publication The Onion won the bidding for Alex Jones' Infowars at a bankruptcy auction, backed by families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims whom Jones owes more than $1 billion in defamation judgments for calling the massacre a hoax, the families announced Thursday.
