“Trump isn’t interested in the challenge or reward of Abraham Lincoln’s disputatious team of rivals. He wants a team of outlaws: likeminded pals who ignore laws, boundaries, ethics, norms, civility, respect, and plain manners.”

It’s a cabinet in his image: narcissistic, corrupt, and dangerous to America.

Trump's Cabinet strategy is nothing other than Steve Bannon's famous formulation of how to deal with the media: "Flood the zone with s----." No vetting, no real qualifications, do it all so quickly that people become overwhelmed with the rubbish.

They are offsetting the cost of lower taxes for billionaires by slashing programs for the most needy.
So much for Christian charity toward the poor.

His insane nominations...
His promises to deploy the military on home soil...
His threats to go after anyone who opposes him...
Now, there are messages going out to specific communities threatening deportation and "re-education camps".
It's by design.
His objective is to fill you with fear

Trump has fallen below 50% in the popular vote. His margin of victory (pop vote + electoral college) is the third smallest since 1888. (Only JFK in '60 and Nixon in '68 were smaller.) If 238k votes in the blue wall states had been different, he would have lost. Not a mandate.

The point of bringing in Hegseth, Gaetz and Gabbard is to burn it all to the ground. Senate: You must recognize this and stop it.

Democrats Draw Up an Entirely New Anti-Trump Battle Plan
The party’s early preparations to oppose the next Trump administration are heavily focused on legal fights and consolidating state power, rather than marching in the streets.

You don’t bury an ethics report that would exonerate Trump’s pick.
You don’t skip FBI background checks unless his nominees have something to hide.
See what they’re doing? Please tell me you see what they’re doing.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) said that he will urge the House Ethics Committee to suppress its report into former congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) and block the Senate Judiciary Committee from viewing the investigation, an unusual intervention that could shape a divisive nomination fight.

Russia did exactly this to HRC in 2016, aiming to suppress her vote, and probably did. Musk no doubt did suppress Harris voting as well with these demotivation techniques. This should be illegal.
