Current Affairs The Would Be Emperor Has No Clothes (aka POTUS 47)

Trump's cabinet nominations are pretty much just like my ignore-list on GOT. A bunch of massive right-wing dangers and inept clowns.

You think Rubio is "right-wing"? The same Rubio that opposed the withdrawal in Afghanistan and supports funding Ukraine?

Hi Emycakes,

I suspect he won't see your post.

Glad to be of service.

Have a good day.

There's no chance Gaetz gets through normal scrutiny. Trump will have to install him over and above any ethics panel.

He probably will too.

Turns out Coach Walz was right after all...these guys ARE weird.

Either way Gaetz escapes the ethics committee's report due in 2 days now he's resigned

Neither of which demonstrates left leaning politics

Yeah that's not a good sign to blindly follow a leader.

I would say the party should rally around its leader and once a decision is made, they get behind it 100%, however they should feel empowered to disagree in private and state their reasons.

The great American company Amazon has a core policy called Disagree & Commit. Essentially they want employees to challenge decision makers with opinions backed up by facts, but once a decision has ultimately been made they are to commit to it and put all of their efforts into ensuring it is followed through on, regardless of whether they previously objected to it.

Amazon have a union busting policy in action too. That disagree policy is only for the higher ups

With a muppet like Gaetz as AG and Trump with his arm up his ass, there are going to be so many needless investigations into so many people like H Clinton, Hunter Biden (again), any media outlet that disagrees w/Trump, any politician critical of Trump, especially people like AOC and Ilhan Omar, etc. etc. True dictator crap.

It was pointed out last night on CNN by a Republican that he's resigned from the last Congress, but he's re-elected so will be a member of this new one???

Maybe Joe helped his case yesterday by kissing Trump's arse in the Oval Office and causing no ripples for him?

Trump is draining the swamp and pouring it right into the seat of US power.

Thoughts on the proposed Gabbard appointment from Sweeney.

NSFW warning, he sugns off with his usual F-bomb to the little dictator.

I suppose technically it is the last Congress he's resigning from as he's already in and the new Congress hasn't started.
Not entirely sure if he could just get sworn in again as a newbie should he be rejected as AG.

It would definitely be about that ethics report if so. He and trump may know he won't be confirmed and this protects him.
Drain the swamp indeed

Oh yeah definitely, it's for their corporate side.

Having a nonce as Attorney General is a wild move

Well, a nonce is the president-elect so they might aswell
