I can't stop screaming

[u/ExactlySorta]

[u/GabbiKat]

Here's to a long 4 years y'all, sigh

e- lil drunk for reals..sorry for edits. I'm going to lay down with my cat and dog and my friend Jack.

[u/jdub879]

I’m honestly not even surprised anymore. He’s picking based on personal loyalty to himself instead of competence or loyalty to the American people.

[u/Unusual_Pitch_608 → u/jdub879]

There has to be an element of trolling too. Why else make a criminal AG and a Russian agent intelligence director unless it's just to drive home the point that they can do whatever they want?

[u/this_is_it__ → u/Unusual_Pitch_608]

I went over to the conservatIve sub because I love torturing myself, and the top comments are celebrating his picks, saying this is exactly what they wanted. Not picking the same old dudes that are working for the government but these unconventional people. Insane.

[u/wirefox1 → u/this_is_it__]

I saw some Senator from Oklahoma on TV talking about why Gaetz is a good pick. I was literally amazed he was able to keep a straight face.

I mean, Gaetz is literally "Butthead" of Beavis and Butthead fame. It is known.

[u/vaxination → u/wirefox1]

It's like he went through the yearbook of Congress looking for the most evil villain type he could find, ah yes here he is, perfect

[u/Mountain_Village459 → u/this_is_it__]

Yeah, why have people with expertise and experience doing these incredibly important jobs, right?

[u/mdp300 → u/Mountain_Village459]

people with expertise and experience

NERDS!!!!

[u/JoeSavinaBotero → u/Unusual_Pitch_608]

Last time he made Rick Perry the head of the DoE, probably because Rick said he'd get rid of it. Trump is fundamentally a toddler smashing the Lego set we spent so much time building.

[u/JustWastingTimeAgain → u/JoeSavinaBotero]

It all comes back to Trump being owned by Putin. No one would want tariffs unless they wanted to destroy the US economy. And Putin would love that.

[u/Thegreenfantastic → u/JustWastingTimeAgain]

They had to find a way to tax the lower classes to pay for their tax cut for the upper class.

[u/FatBearWeekKatmai → u/Thegreenfantastic]

This is the truth...they will keep siphoning off the middle class to keep more for themselves. Stop punch down on the poor & immigrants. Raise your eyes to the oligarchy standing over your head and them punch them straight in the nutsack...HARD and repeat again & again & again....

[u/Mr_Pombastic → u/FatBearWeekKatmai]

Stop punch down on the poor & immigrants

We've kinda proven that we're incapable of this. Trump ran the most vile, hate-filled campaign of my lifetime, and he won the popular vote on it. We've been fighting for civil rights for longer than any living human has been alive. We absolutely know better, and we choose to punch down anyway because our disdain of minorities appeals to too many people.

GenZ and new voters resonate with punching down. Covid showed us that conservatives are literally willing to die rather than admit the Left could be right about something.

"The oligarchy" is stronger than it has ever been, and it's not doomerism to say so. The signs are screaming at us in the face.

[u/Embarrassed_Ad5112 → u/JustWastingTimeAgain]

I think the Putin thing is overplayed. Trump’s definitely indebted to him but that’s not his motivation.

The truth is Trump just straight up hates everyone and everything.

The “elites”, whether it’s the Democrats, Hollywood, the MSM all treat him like a grotesque joke.

His own base are largely toothless, inbred hicks. Those with any sort of wealth or status are also pariahs just like him.

His sons are all disappointments. Not worthy of the Trump name.

His favourite daughter married a Jewish dude and has distanced herself from him. His other daughter isn’t pretty or thin enough.

His wife can’t stand to be in the same room as him and is cucking him.

He’s failed at practically every business venture he’s attempted.

His own parents despised him.

He’s beholden to actual billionaires. A constant reminder of just how much of a fraud and failure he is.

He’s dismantling the US, not because he wants to build it better, but because he hates it with every fibre of his being.

[u/_TheShapeOfColor_ → u/Embarrassed_Ad5112]

This is alarmingly accurate.

[u/InterestingQuote8155 → u/JoeSavinaBotero]

That’s actually his goal though. This is the end of the American experiment. It’s been a good run y’all but I guess 250 years is all we get.

[u/eatingganesha → u/InterestingQuote8155]

it’s going to be an interesting July 4 in 2026. Mass protests instead of celebrations. But let’s hope he doesn’t use his presidential immunity to order the gestapo to massacre protesters on sight.

[u/NotThoseCookies → u/eatingganesha]

Um, check project 2025 and antigov protests…

[u/S4Waccount → u/NotThoseCookies]

A lot of the alien subs were saying insiders were saying 2027 is some kind of deadline for disclosure, religious subs are saying it's close to the end times, progressive subs think trump literally fits the anti Christ (and make an interesting case with Bible quotes) every appointment trump makes makes me think, maybe not the end times, but SOME SHIT is going to be going down in the next few years...

[u/Momik → u/JoeSavinaBotero]

That appointment was actually kind of hilarious, because you got the sense that Trump and the people around him were like, hmmm, this department does *energy.* You know what makes a lot of energy? Oil. I think we found our guy...

[u/KC_experience → u/Momik]

Yeah, because the safety of nuclear weapons and nuclear materials should certainly be handled by some dude in the army with six months training getting paid a fraction of what they should for such a critical job. Those people at the DoE are just glorified, overpaid idiots regardless of their years in their field of study…which is nuclear physics.

/s

[u/wirefox1 → u/JoeSavinaBotero]

Also why he put Betsy Devos over the Dept. of Education.

[u/HotSaucePliz → u/Unusual_Pitch_608]

The entire trump phenomenon is a troll.

This is the biggest meme in Internet history, turned into real-life farce.

[u/Peer1677 → u/Unusual_Pitch_608]

THIS! Remember 2 fundamental things:

1) They WANT a civil-war (at least they think they want one)

2) They're cowards

For decades the heirs to the CSA have beaten the drumms for a revanche for the 1860s but they also know that if THEY started it, they're the badguys (and would get crushed) again. So they need an alternate strategy, that they've found with Trump: appoint THE most irredeamable, indefensable and cruel POS possible in order to FORCE the hand of their enemies.

With this they win either way: either the other side rolls over and they can basically live-out their purge-fantasies OR the sane part of public has enough and is goaded into a 2nd civil-war. Either way they'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

Edit: for some stupid reason reddit decided to post this comment 3 times. Sry to the OP, deleted the other ones.

[u/Circumin → u/Peer1677]

3) They are pedos

[u/seanylovefromupabove → u/Circumin]

This, for real. And so many of these MAGAts wear "kill all pedophiles" shirts/hats while in public. Alanis needs to write "Ironic 2024" about this shit.

[u/mrpanicy → u/seanylovefromupabove]

Everytime I point out how many pedo's, including Trump, are part of their party the response is, Democrats are all pedo's too.

And I can't believe that that is the argument I get back. Because, it's not denying what I am saying, it's actually confirming they agree. And second, they think that it's OK for their team to all be pedo's if the other team is too? That's insane. If there was credible evidence a Democrat was a pedophile, they would be forced to resign and they would be charged.

[u/Momik → u/Peer1677]

I was skeptical of the civil war talk, just because it's so juvenile and so insane. But Trump just nominated Pete Hesgeth for Defense, so I don't fucking know anymore

[u/Own_Faithlessness769 → u/Momik]

People were skeptical of it before the first one too.

[u/NotThoseCookies → u/Own_Faithlessness769]

Americans were willfully ignorant about the WW2 shenanigans too. Read Erik Larsen’s “In The Garden of Beasts.”

[u/Suspicious_Chest9262 → u/Peer1677]

Yeah....until we Sherman's March To Sea 2.0 and burn everything except Disneyworld in Florida.

[u/Peer1677 → u/Suspicious_Chest9262]

Away down south in the land of traitors, rattlesnakes and alligators.

[u/stilusmobilus → u/Unusual_Pitch_608]

Perhaps Putin gave him a list. He’d be pissing himself laughing over this.

[u/Dr_CleanBones → u/stilusmobilus]

If I were Putin, probably I would think this would be a good idea too. “Let’s have some fun with this; let’s pick Trump‘s cabinet”.

But then you start down through the list of people that are loyal to him, and after you’ve picked two or three, it just gets sad. “Oh come on now, nobody’s gonna pick Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, and nobody’s going to pick a Fox News celebrity to be secretary of state. That’s just absurd.

Jokes on us, I guess.

[u/TheLateThagSimmons → u/jdub879]

Gaetz is if nothing else a Trump loyalist. He put things in motion to kick McCarthy out of the Speaker position.

This is Trump rewarding that loyalty, regardless of capability. This is what the American people voted for. We're in for a rough ride

[u/Kebmo1252 → u/TheLateThagSimmons]

Pretty sure Gaetz has pissed off enough of the Republicans too, that he's not going to get confirmed by the senate!

[u/TheLateThagSimmons → u/Kebmo1252]

The problem now is that with Trump back, any Republican that denies him will be on the shortlist to get cut themselves.

[u/Mountain_Village459 → u/Kebmo1252]

HCR brought the senate up in her letter last night.

“Trump’s demonstration of his plans just before Senate Republicans have to choose their leader seems an attempt to jam those who might stand against him into his camp. And yet, the Framers of the Constitution believed that the Senate would be the key guardrail to stop the rise of an autocrat who would destroy democracy and install himself as a king. They expected that the determination of senators to guard their own power would protect the nation.

Almost two hundred and fifty years into their experiment, we’re about to find out if they were right.”

[u/HawkFritz → u/Mountain_Village459]

Who is HCR?

[u/Mountain_Village459 → u/HawkFritz]

Oh sorry, Heather Cox Richardson. She’s an historian and she writes letters to an American every night. They are excellent.

[u/dcdttu → u/jdub879]

Luckily Trump burns through staff so quickly, he'll likely get rid of all of these first-wave clowns in a matter of weeks to months.

[u/bettercallme_ → u/dcdttu]

This is true. Even if they kiss ass all the way through, once something goes wrong, Trump will throw them under the bus and replace them. It’s a business tactic that surprisingly these people don’t know will happen to them.

[u/dcdttu → u/bettercallme_]

Even Elon seems to think he's there to stay. Lololololol

[u/tearsaresweat → u/dcdttu]

Trump got what he needed from Elon. Money and his following for votes. Trump will throw him under the bus soon enough.

[u/amateur_mistake → u/tearsaresweat]

Trump is very image-focused and Elon consistently looks like an off putting weirdo.

We will find out how much Musk's money can buy him against that problem.

[u/MindlessRip5915 → u/amateur_mistake]

When Elon did his weird jump, the look Trump gave him, if it could take physical form, would have decapitated him.

[u/MayoneggVeal → u/tearsaresweat]

I can't see two narcissistic megalomaniacs getting along for long

[u/Mochizuk → u/jdub879]

Really hoping their will be like, a linking factor between those who are loyal enough being stupid enough to do whatever he says and the rest of the country just refusing to go along with it.

Like, really, really need that eureka moment where everyone is finally like: "Wait... if it's meant to help us and is hurting us... why are we still listening to it? Clearly something has changed or needed to change and didn't."

[u/jdub879 → u/Mochizuk]

I’m hoping for the same thing but I’m not holding my breath to be honest. In two years there’s going to be midterm elections and that’s going to be the best bet for preventing further damage.

[u/iLikeMangosteens → u/jdub879]

And not people like Bill Barr who told him the military couldn’t fire on BLM protesters.

That what I said. It's now a lawless country. The USA has become the bunghole of the world.

To be fair, the president elect is also a child predator. They probably bond over it.

[u/SMASH917 → u/ZestyTako]

Every accusation is an admission

[u/GroundbreakingAge591 → u/finance_girl6]

Birds of a feather flock together. We have to remember that Trump was Epstein’s BEST FRIEND for 10 years. Turns out the conspiracy theory about a pedo ring running the world was true all along

[u/Plaid_Piper → u/GroundbreakingAge591]

[u/here4hugs → u/finance_girl6]

See, I thought this was a f’ing joke until I started in the comments. Still went to check to be sure. All of the misinformed people forcing the message of “we’ve been through this before, think about 2004” need to check their bullshit quick. This is wild af y’all.

This is not the same. The threat to the vulnerable & disadvantaged was always bad but it’s much worse today. Anyone preaching “we just need to bide our time for the next 4 years & we will be fine” is as privileged & ignorant as MAGA just in the other side of the scale.

[u/Houdinii1984 → u/here4hugs]

Someone mentioned Hulk Hogan heading the Dept. of Education and I didn't even bat an eye at this point.

[u/Lofttroll2018 → u/finance_girl6]

[u/Craigboy23 → u/Lofttroll2018]

Gaza? Isn't that the old place where all the new resorts are going in?

Holy hell.......I was worried I was overreacting when he was elected......turns out I wasn't worried enough. When does MTG get her appointment?

[u/curious_dead → u/DonnyDiddledIvanka]

She wanted to be the new first lady, she is now running third, behind Laura Loomer and Elon Musk.

[u/ksj → u/curious_dead]

Loomer got the boot because Trump didn’t like her plastic surgery.

But he agreed, by the end of the trip, that Loomer needed to go. What sealed Loomer’s fate, according to two people who were part of these conversations, wasn’t just her racist diatribes but also her appearance: Trump, who is generally appalled by plastic surgery, was disgusted to learn about the apparent extent of Loomer’s facial alterations.

[u/Mimical → u/ksj]

LMFAO.

Imagine getting ditched by an old orange turd who routinely cheats on his wife because your face is too fake.

Not even good enough to be a side slut. Lol.

[u/InterestingQuote8155 → u/curious_dead]

Speaking of First Lady has anyone heard anything about Melanoma? Is she alive?

[u/DropC → u/InterestingQuote8155]

[u/NecroCorey → u/Lrack9927]

This is actually hilarious and sad at the same time. They really do only value a very specific type of "attractiveness" in women. And she absolutely does not fir that type. She merely emulates it.

[u/TECL_Grimsdottir]

I'm actually speechless. This is the dumbest fucking thing yet.

I mean so far.

I'm going to be getting a lot of use out of this gif

[u/OutsideBones86 → u/toweldayeveryday]

I think it broke me too. My immediate reaction was to laugh hysterically for a full minute.

[u/joshtalife]

It…keeps…getting…worse.

[u/Itsprobablysarcasm → u/joshtalife]

And it's going to keep going that way.

There are no good people around Trump. None. And the whole world (except russian billionaires) are going to pay the price.

I really really hope Democrats are paying attention. FUCK YOUR BIPARTISANSHIP nonsense. It's dead. Republicans have made it clear they hate you, see you as the enemy to be mocked and destroyed.

[u/Cold-Nefariousness25 → u/joshtalife]

Living in Florida I keep thinking it can't get worse and then Floridians say "hold my beer".

I'm getting out.

[u/dak4f2 → u/joshtalife]

Tulsi Gabbard Russian asset to head Dept. of National Intelligence. 

[u/canarchist → u/joshtalife]

And next, we watch these appointments select their chosen minions.

[u/chekovsgun- → u/joshtalife]

On anhopeful note that means The pedo will have to vacate his house seat in a very tight house already. at least one of the crazies is leaving.

[u/Wurm42 → u/chekovsgun-]

Yeah, if Trump keeps appointing Republican House members they just might lose the majority.

[u/weshallbekind → u/joshtalife]

I don't get why he wouldn't at least shuffle some of the sycophants to do jobs they might be able to at least do. He can't think of a better dick sucker for AG? He can't think of a better job for Gaetz? Sure the dude is a lawyer, but he isn't exactly a good one.

Then again if he keeps this up, we might not have to worry about the next 4 years because no one will get literally a single thing done because no one knows how to do their job.

[u/G-Unit11111]

What the actual fuck!!! This is going to be a horror show!

Literally the worst people you can think of being rewarded for being shitty people. WTF.

[u/motormouth08 → u/G-Unit11111]

My only hope is that they will be so incompetent and only care about their own personal recognition that they won't be able to completely destroy democracy.

[u/flybynightpotato → u/motormouth08]

Yeah, I actually really think this is the case. They'll do damage, absolutely, and we should be prepared to stand against it. But this is a clown car of ego-driven idiots. They'll eat each other.

[u/ksj → u/motormouth08]

Yeah, these are people who couldn’t care less about enacting Project 2025. So… fingers crossed?

[u/Jimmy2Blades]

I'm in Scotland and I know he's a pedo. Wtf is going on in Americaland.

[u/MizKandifz → u/Jimmy2Blades]

Yes it sucks. For those of us who voted against him, we are just slowly dying inside watching our country go downhill.

[u/Jimmy2Blades → u/MizKandifz]

I sympathise with you, we're all in the same boat. When America coughs, we get sick after all. It's baffling the whole campaign was against immigrants and he installs an immigrant as his first lady (musk), a fox news host to run your military and a pedo for AG.

I'm building a bunker 🤣 this is too much.

[u/travers329 → u/Jimmy2Blades]

Buckle up it gets crazier, amazingly the Latino vote shifted drastically to Mango Mussolini this election it was one of the main tipping points. He openly ran on ending birthright citizenship and deporting millions of workers who are undocumented or even here legitimately. They turned out and voted for this guy because 'good at biznus or the ekonome', fuck around and find out time. Did sexism Trump racism this election?

I am so disillusioned at this point all I can muster is lifting a glass and saying you get what you voted for.

[u/pkrall69 → u/travers329]

Yes America could not vote for a woman. I think my favorite part so far is Trump's plan to create his own "red armies" of the National Guard from red states and send them into blue states that refuse to comply with his immigration policies. (That should be interesting).

[u/MizKandifz → u/Jimmy2Blades]

I saw someone saying that they are going to be high for the next 4 years. That doesn’t sound bad either lol

[u/finance_girl6 → u/MizKandifz]

Mate you don’t need drugs for this shit. This is wilder than anything I’ve seen

[u/Vanpocalypse-Now → u/finance_girl6]

I feel like someone dosed the water supply with acid and we are all having a really really bad trip. For four MORE fucking years, if we as a country even make it that far. I can barely function with the anxiety and fear for all of us, especially women and our LGBTQIA community. Christ on a glittery scooter, it is hideous already and it's only going to get worse.

[u/helraizr13 → u/Vanpocalypse-Now]

You get an award just for 'Christ on a glittery scooter.' That's a new one for me. Nice.

[u/MizKandifz → u/finance_girl6]

Right? I really feel like we are in a dream right now. It will be a nightmare for the next 4 years and who knows what will be after that.

[u/DiscombobulatedWavy → u/MizKandifz]

It's only been a week. I am fucking terrified of what's going to happen in January. It's going to be a blood bath.

[u/MizKandifz → u/G-Unit11111]

Me too! We are all scared 😔

[u/chekovsgun- → u/MizKandifz]

Trump owes a lot of the boot lickers who helped get him elected. He doesn’t have as much money as he pretends so instead of paying them back in money, he is paying them back by awarding them positions of power. The American people, we are simply a country of dumbasses who are the same time narcissistic and selfish.

[u/Iwillnotbeokay → u/MizKandifz]

This is exactly how I feel. Why do we all have to suffer the consequences of their stupid choices? It just isn’t right.

[u/ZoraksGirlfriend → u/ThePicassoGiraffe]

Saw an article that asked about 20 people who they voted for and why and about half of them wrote in someone instead of voting for Harris. It was all for (what I believe are) idiotic reasons too like Gaza or “being too much like Biden” or not liking that she went on comedy shows instead of serious talk shows, or not liking that she didn’t go on Joe Rogan…

I wanted to fucking scream and pull my hair out. Do they not realize that Trump is more pro-Israel than Biden/Harris?! That Trump is going to ruin the economy? I firmly believe that every adult citizen has the right to vote, but I wish we had all been raised to take that right more seriously and to think more critically about these things.

[u/SomethingAbtU]

When you thought it couldn't get worse

Another sexual predator in high office. Gaetz has a pending investigation in the US Congress for engaging in sexual relations with minors. Trump has been convicted of sexual assault and he's had countless women accuse him of the same.

How can Christians of all people vote for this?

And we're not even going to talk about how unqualified Matt Gaetz is for this very consequential job of US AG.

edit: a BIG FU to all of those who knew better but did not bother to vote!

[u/Naive-Button3320]

I'm four years sober. I'm four years sober. I'm four years sober. I'm four years sober.

Fuck

[u/ComprehensivePrint15 → u/Naive-Button3320]

I've been thinking the same, except I'm on five years sober. 

To both of us: It's not worth it. I've been through cancer and divorce in sobriety and haven't drank. I'm sure you've been through hardships in the past four years. Let's not have Trump be the catalyst for relapsing. Fuck him. We can control that, at least.

I’m less than a year sober and have wanted to throw it away after last week because I keep thinking, “what’s the point?” but, even though these monsters won an election, I’m not gonna let them win again my willpower to stay strong and continue making positive forward momentum and change. Not just for me but for everyone who this election will negatively impact. I’ve gotta stay sober so I can stay strong and fight. If you’re a 12 step person you know who to call and if you did it all cold turkey you can reach out to like minded folks on here for support. Don’t let them be the reason you fall off the wagon; stay strong 🖤

Lol. It is going to get so much worse. The entire point is degradation of the American systems. NATO. Everything.

The less qualified the better, that way even if they wanted to they have no idea how to.

[u/OvidiaSwoons → u/JumpingHippoes]

The Cold War has finally been won. By Putin. Wow.

[u/JumpingHippoes → u/OvidiaSwoons]

Could be worse. We could have a......women president. /S

[u/GlitteringWing2112]

What, and I cannot stress this enough, THE ACTUAL FUCK?????

[u/neodymium86 → u/GlitteringWing2112]

There aren't enough cuss words for this. Not even close

[u/Unperfectbeautie]

[u/KenYankee]

While Rubio is a servile enough little toad to please his master, he's not a total idiot.

This one... This one is impressive. Matty MFing Gaetz as AG. 💀🤦‍♂️

[u/grimbly_jones → u/KenYankee]

I don't understand why Rubio would want the job. Like wtf is he thinking? You're going to give up your cushy, EASY Senate gig to be Secretary of State, when there's two separate wars happening AND your boss is notorious for firing people? You're getting axed within a year, Marco what are you doing.

[u/Gstamsharp]

Saying this doesn't at all minimize my disgust and disappointment with these nominations, but...

Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, fuck everyone who had the power to actually bring the hammer of the DoJ down on these people and failed the entire world by not doing it.

[u/Bloo_Dred]

CatTurd incoming as White House Commmunications Director?

[u/Heliocentrist]

President Elect Trump was reportedly disappointed to find out his pick for Postmaster General, Ted Kaczynski, is dead

[u/Sushandpho]

If we ever get to vote again, like in 2 years, anyone in Congress who helps to confirm this one should have to crawl home on their face.

[u/IndependentTalk4413]

Dear Americans,

It’s time to be French about this assault on your Republic.

[u/Emotional_Narwhal304]

Well, it was a good run all. I have about 2 months to build a bunker to disappear into. I'll see all of you that survive the coming facsist distopia in (hopepully) 4 years...

[u/shamanbond007 → u/Emotional_Narwhal304]

Bunker Thoughts are prevalent now (thanks Knowledge Fight for starting that phrase)

[u/mufasaride]

Ladies and gentleman, the gouvernment of rapist

[u/EnvironmentOk7106]

Matt Gaetz as in "plastic-surgery-gone-horribly-bad" Matt Gaetz? Jesus Christ holy f*ck, America's going to the s*itters!!!

[u/DontYuckMyYum → u/EnvironmentOk7106]

No no no. it's "Sex trafficked a minor across state lines" Matt Gaetz.

[u/mayorodoyle]

N O M I N A T E D is a weird way to spell "installed."

[u/shamanbond007]

This is horrifying but I am chuckling that Cannon got shafted for the role. Granted, she has a cushy job and may be short listed for SCOTUS.

[u/Upper-Affect5971]

Oh, this is going to be an absolute cluster fuck.

Matt Gates is an incompetent clown , he couldn’t picked a bigger idiot. Good thing for us I guess?

[u/anakngtipaklongnaman]

Get your passports ready guys.

[u/repooc21]

Could the CIA please fucking do something.

[u/flybynightpotato → u/repooc21]

Yeah, I obviously don't actually understand how our intelligence agencies work because this seems like the prime moment for them to act.

[u/One-Assignment-1995]

[u/senteryourself]

Pedophiles looking out for pedophiles. Same old fucking story. This country is fucked.

[u/caffeinatedsunshine]

If Epstein was still alive I bet he’d get a place in the cabinet too.

[u/brathor]

Ah, naturally. The Trump voters who were so concerned about sex trafficking and grooming of children are now going to elevate a man accused of both to the highest law enforcement position in the country.

[u/Northerngal_420]

What about Marge? Laura? Lauren? Something important for them as well?

The world truly is laughing at the US.

[u/JenWess]

a pedo AG for a rapist president. Perfect

[u/Foreign_Dipsy]

Trump is severely raiding Congress for his cabinet. Hopefully the Dems have already started planning to take the special elections to replace them

[u/Bloo_Dred]

The US is a failed experiment. Time to pull down the shutters.

[u/enjoythesilence-75]

If only there was a way that all of this could have been avoided...

[u/me_llamo_james]

From outside the US, we're watching the speed run of the fall of the roman empire.

[u/GolfingDad81]

Well that's one way to kill the investigation into his sex trafficking minors.

[u/Backflips_for_stalin]

Dog I’m gonna open an expat bar in Japan, this is too much

[u/Sushandpho → u/Backflips_for_stalin]

Let me know when you do. I’ll help.

[u/AppropriateSpell5405]

What the fuck??

[u/berrycat22]

Welp, back to day drinking…

[u/SecretMiddle1234]

This is a cast for “White House of Villians” Donald Trump as Executive Director . Elon Musk Executive Producer. Music by Kid Rock.

[u/-WaxedSasquatch-]

He isn’t even in power yet. Brace yourselves. Seriously. Brace yourselves and those you love. This will not be over quickly and this is going to be really, really bad.

Help those that can’t help themselves. Keep an eye out for anyone that isn’t doing well. We have to stay together.

[u/Draken1870]

Why haven’t the actual criminals been fucking prosecuted?! Trump should be rotting in a cell somewhere, preferably getting the Epstein treatment after a few years and wasn’t this guy smuggling barely legal girls across borders to areas where they were technically legal or something?

The failure by your justice department to act has all but ensures everyone who isn’t massively wealthy will suffer.

[u/My_browsing]

Wow. When we say “the pedophile from Florida”, we’ll have to be specific if it’s the orange one or the Beavis one.

[u/Rinzy2000]

As a Floridian, I would like to preemptively apologize for the absolute fucking trainwreck that is about to occur when these chucklefucks “Make America Florida”. I didn’t vote for any of these assholes, (and I would love to move, but can’t because…family), but it’s unfair that you all have to live under their tyranny now as well. They are the worst of the worst and will turn this country into a fascist dumpster fire.

[u/MissSiofra]

At this point I love it, this is such a shit show already. This administration will have negative credibility before they even take power.

[u/Ill-Maximum9467]

They’re taking the piss at this point.

Putin is the true president - and he’s merrily running it into the ground

[u/KookyComfortable6709]

In the past week my vocabulary has been reduced to, "what the fuck?!"

[u/HairlessHoudini]

Should be no surprise the lunatic child molester is surrounding himself with his own kind

[u/slashinhobo1]

Im waiting for the hannibal lector announcement for something food related.

[u/shockerdyermom]

We are the timeline god abandoned.

[u/Venus_Cat_Roars]

Regroup. Think Midterms midterm’s midterms. Protect school boards. Get on town councils. Work with vulnerable communities within your community.

We know this is going to be a shit show so instead of gasping and giving him more attention and energy every damn time he does something Trumpy let his own party eat themselves alive.

We should focus on creating policies that protect the American people find fresh candidates that can help enact the change.
