I’m tired of seeing Donald Trump’s ugly mug on my posts, so the featured image is of his UN Ambassador designate Elise Stefanik flipping the bird. The Insult Comedian’s cabinet appointments are an insult to the afflicted agencies. Team Trump is flipping the bird at America.
I may have been wrong about the election, but I was right about the consequences. If you thought Trump Mach One was about owning the libs:
The scary thing is that Elise Stefanik is a normie compared to some of the others. She’s just a hack who sold her soul at a discount to President-elect Pennywise. He seems to think the United Nations is for girls or some such shit: Nikki Haley was his first UN ambassador. As a misogynist, it’s a sign of his contempt for the institution; make that all institutions.
Owning the libs is the order of the day with the appointments of Bobby Junior, Tulsi Gabbard, Matt Gaetz, and Dirty Hands Hegseth. Think of them as hand grenades lobbed into HHS, the intelligence community, DOJ, and the Pentagon. They’ve been nominated to blow up their departments, not administer their affairs. They’re four ticking time bombs:
These horrendous appointments are a loyalty test for Senate Republicans. They’re being asked to eat shit and say that it’s delicious. There’s much grumbling behind the scenes but we’ve seen this movie before: they’ll moan and piss before voting aye.
Gaetz is a particularly awful pick. Everyone hates that snotty son of a bitch except for Marge Greene and the Kaiser of Chaos. For Gaetz, it’s another chance to humiliate KMac. The former Speaker, who is all profile and no courage, has denounced the selection and claimed it will be voted down. By who? Senate Republicans sold out to Trump in exchange for tax cuts, why would they stand up to him now?
Repeat after me: Blame It On Mitch.
The Turtle doesn’t want these departments destroyed any more than I do, but when he had the chance to prevent a second Trump regime, he blinked. He assumed Trump was finished by the disgrace of the Dipshit Insurrection. McConnell failed to learn the lessons of the early Universal horror films: If you corner a monster use every method to destroy them. Overkill is in order: a stake through the heart, a silver bullet, exposure to the sun, garlic, you name it. Otherwise, the monster will return for a sequel, which are always worse than the original just like the Trump regime.
The legacy media is shocked that Trump meant what he said on the stump about burning the government down. His radical views are escorted by what Churchill called a bodyguard of lies. He lies so often that it’s easy to disregard his more extreme statements. Here’s my Trump credibility test: His facts and stories are usually lies BUT his opinions should be taken seriously. When he said he wanted to let Bobby Junior run wild on our health care system, he meant it.
Repeat after me: Don’t call them conservatives.
The MAGA cult got what they wanted in this election: drama, chaos, and entertainment. Those who claim they voted on the economy think Trump knows his shit because he’s rich. They can’t be bothered with the details of his business failures; they believe he’s the guy on The Apprentice. Instead, he’s a mentally ill man in steep cognitive decline. In the immortal words of former First Drafter Jude: Thanks, you stupid motherfuckers.
The post title was inspired by a classic Andy Partridge song. Just change kill to troll and Trump’s your president.
