Trump’s cabinet appointments reminds me of this clip:

This sounds like it could blow up the AMA and medical billing?
This made my day! Brilliant!

Not surprisingly, Musk supports Milton Friedman’s views on government waste. Typical of Fox News, they misspelled Milton’s last name in the headline.
Friedman might have a Nobel prize, but he didn’t have the chops to pass actuarial exams. He gave up after failing several.

ABC News has partial Venmo records from the Ethics committee. I’m still having trouble getting over the fact that he just blatantly used the Venmo account from his ex-girlfriend’s brother, aka his not-legally-adopted adopted son.
One more reason for me not to like Friedman.

My father was an economist. He didn’t like Friedman. He encouraged me to be an actuary instead.

Just came across CNBC: Gaetz declines to be Trump’s AG.

Just saw that as well on the FT.
It looks like there is indeed a limit to what type of individuals Trump & Co will be able to push through the body politic.
The SecDef nominee is probably next. Another dumpster fire.
He has already resigned his House seat. I suppose there are open jobs at Fox.

Probably holding out hope to get nominated when we get the next SCOTUS vacancy
Giving this a little more thought, he resigned from this congress but he has already been re-elected to the next. I’m not sure how that works.
I expect the ethics report would re-appear.

My understanding is he resigned this year’s seat. He was elected so he will be back in his seat in January. The whole thing seems like a ploy to duck the ethics probe.

Who will be the next unqualified AG nominee?
Habba
Pirro
Giuliani
Chesebro
Eastman
Gym Jordan
Can he actually nominate Giuliani?
Because that would be unreal and take the trolling to another level.
He can nominate whom ever he wants. Whether or not that person would get confirmed (see Gaetz, Matt) or whether Trump would make an end run around the nomination process to install someone anyway is a separate matter.
But yeah Rudy would be a new level of trolling. Always good to have an AG who had his license to practice law revoked away in at least one jurisdiction.
