I wonder what cabinet positions MTG and BoBo are going to get.
A Confederacy of Dunces
This is a story I would expect from The Onion. ![]()
This one confused me at first bc I thought Gaetz hated Trump. Then I remembered that it was McCarthy he hated.
(Then I remembered that he likes young girls, allegedly.
)
Kakistocracy is really happening.
The eventual Senate confirmation hearings sure are going to be interesting. He will be using recess appointments till then.
Once he makes a recess appointment, there wonât be a need for a confirmation hearing. Thatâs why he wants Congress to adjourn immediately after the inauguration: he can make all the recess appointments he wants - and every appointed position will be a recess appointment - and Congress wonât do anything to overturn any of them.
The amount of power the GOP intends to surrender to Trump is a lot. What else is he going to.ask them to rollover for him later?
What position has Hannibal Lecter been promised?
As a Russian asset, I hope she doesnât get one
The House Ethics committee was due to release their report on Gaetz in 2 days. Gaetz resigned from Congress effective immediately, so they no longer have jurisdiction. They need to release the report anyway, but I imagine Mike Johnson will block that
They can still release the report. The question is whether Mike Johnson will allow it to be made public, or whether heâll even allow that to come up for a vote by the rest of the House.
Extended potacular at Mathmanâs! ![]()
Weâd have a name for education secretary by now but that guy died in jail a few years ago.
Doesnât he want to get rid of the Department of Education?

My prediction is:
They try to move Medicare to a voucher system
They try to move Medicaid to block grants
They try to reduce SS via chained CPI
I want to say yes, but to the extent we have future elections the right canât piss off old people too much. For now, my money is on heaps of grifting and large, unfunded tax cuts for the wealthy.
Well, those are some pretty fucked up cabinet picks. Any guesses on the remaining ones?
We need some twitter dipshits like Charlie Kirk or Matt Walsh in the mix, maybe Laura Loomer.
Alina Habba for education secretary?
MTG for HUD?
Suppose we get tax cuts for the wealthy but we donât get the cuts for taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security. Will anyone notice?
