Oh Chuck! Yet another reason for a change in leadership.
Dear Chuck,

You have served your country and party well for decades. Your past leadership will be remembered. That said, we have reached a Godfather 2 moment where Michael tells Tom he’s out because he’s not a “War Time Consigliere .”
The time has come for new leadership.

Trump has no concern about running the government effectively or how it should function. He only cares about consolidating power.
If you want to know how Pete Hegseth runs an organization, it's right here: rampant sexual harassment, constant drunkenness, and completely incompetent leadership. And Trump wants him in charge of the Pentagon. on.msnbc.com/3Zxjtgp
Pete Hegseth, Trump’s choice to lead the Defense Department, faces brutal new allegations
A new report characterizes Pete Hegseth as a predatory racist with a substance abuse problem who badly mismanaged the only two organizations he ever led.

Not off putting at all is it?
Among many vital duties, the FBI director leads US government efforts to combat violent crime.

The unhinged QAnon movement has fed into various violent crime—and Kash Patel has been a big supporter of QAnon.

How Kash Patel, Trump's FBI pick, embraced the unhinged QAnon movement
His extremism goes far beyond assailing a supposed Deep State.

A slight bit of unintentional humor for something that is so scary.
When making a MAGA cabinet, it's very important to strike a careful balance between billionaires, sex criminals, Russian assets, anti-vaxxers, and just plain unpleasant people.

It's up to Democratic officials whether they want to stop exclusively rewarding legacy media with their time and start validating the people who are actually advocating for their agenda. But until they make that decision, the asymmetry that cost Democrats this election will persist.

UPDATE: Here's an updated version of my recent column that corrects an erroneous photo caption and a refocus AG pick Pam Bondi toward the election lies she told at Philly news conferences and on Fox News in 2020. Earlier posts with the error have been deleted www.inquirer.com/opinion/pam-...
Pam Bondi’s road from Four Seasons Total Landscaping to AG pick should alarm America | Will Bunch
She's not a sex fiend like Matt Gaetz, but Trump's second pick for attorney general is arguably more capable of carrying out his autocratic revenge agenda.

A wise person once said “ Democracy dies in the darkness.” No Trump appointees should assume any position without proper vetting, FBI background check and SENATE CONFIRMATION!
No games, no sleight of hand. The people have a right to know.

What (if anything) can we glean from Senate Republicans bucking Trump not once but twice? Could it be that they don't share Trump's appetite for dictatorship?

BIG NEWS - president does NOT have power to kill an agency created by Congress

How do we know this?

Even the Heritage Foundation - which issued Project 2025 - said this in 2017:

"President has no statutory authority to reorganize the executive branch" unless Congress says so

Sorry MSNBC, but don’t be surprised by the mass exodus (38% decline) of your viewers since the election. I used to watch your network when you provided a progressive counterpoint to Fox. But when you minimized negative news coverage of Trump and amplified it for Harris, you lost me.

Trump’s nominee for Ag Sec has 0 farm or Ag experience, is a christian right lawyer who worked for Steven Miller and AF Legal; and will help Trump by leading his self-destructive global trade war. Other than that, she’s fit for the job.

For the Magaidiots in the back, here are some facts:

- Donald Trump did not win this election in a “landslide”. He does not have a “mandate”. He won by one of the smallest margins in our history.
