Fwiw the entire system is broken no matter who is president. It is not normal in other serious countries for ambassadorships to be handed out as a form of political patronage. These should all go to FSOs.
Trump just picked failed Senate candidate Herschel Walker to be U.S. Ambassador to the Bahamas. Yes, Herschel Walker.

The amount of celebrity worship at @formula-1.bsky.social Las Vegas @espnplus.bsky.social coverage is excessive but on brand. We get it - you were sponsored by Gladiator II but do we need 40 Paul Mescal cameos?

It was considerate of Trump to offer America another occasion to witness the degradation of Matt Gaetz. Sadly, he’ll probably have a prime time slot on Fox News by the end of the month.

An academic study found that on July 13, 2024 — the day Musk endorsed Trump — there was a systemic change across Twitter resulting in massive increases in reach for Musk and other accounts supporting Trump.
