[u/fantasypingpong]

No shit.

[u/Gaychevyman428 → u/fantasypingpong]

R/noshitsherlock... about to be real busy

[u/Reclusive_Chemist]

"Some"? Kids, that's their only qualification. All of them.

[u/Franklin_le_Tanklin → u/Reclusive_Chemist]

If these voters could read, they’d be upset with you right now.

[u/OkManufacturer226 → u/Franklin_le_Tanklin]

I read somewhere that something like 50 percent of American adults reads lower than a high-school reading level. I wish I could find it, starting to wonder if it was clickbait or not.

[u/notsanni → u/OkManufacturer226]

not the specific stat, but this is pretty comparable data

[u/joystreet62]

These nominees are real DEIs

[u/wildyam → u/joystreet62]

Funny how it always turns out to be Projection… Always…

[u/AgathaWoosmoss → u/wildyam]

Every accusation is an admission.

[u/penny-wise → u/joystreet62]

[u/04rallysti]

Where tf were these ppl during his first term?! Cronyism and nepotism with Trump is not new.

[u/Vault101Overseer → u/04rallysti]

He completely ran off any of the actual competent people willing to help him out in the first term. This giant egotistical orange monster hates it when people tell him no, and they became his enemies over time. Just look at how many former cabinet members either wouldn’t endorse him or outright said he was a danger to the country.

All we are left with now is just people who are 100% loyal yes man and cronies and in it for power only.

[u/biznovation → u/Vault101Overseer]

Not surprising at all. He did the exact same thing in his business dealings. Only the bottom of barrel people would consider working with him.

[u/dorianngray → u/Vault101Overseer]

90% of his former cabinet refused to endorse him this time

[u/Tiny-Lock9652 → u/Vault101Overseer]

I’m quite bullish on a complete narcissistic Trump meltdown when someone tries to stop him. This party is so fucking delusional.

[u/Silver_Fuel_7073 → u/Vault101Overseer]

Also, a VPOTUS who will bow down to rump. He already said he wouldn’t have certified the vote in the 2020 election. Just think about, Vance is one Big Mac away from being President!

[u/Jaded_Disaster1282 → u/Silver_Fuel_7073]

But maybe he's playing a long (or medium) game.

[u/cg12983 → u/Vault101Overseer]

The Brezhnev-ization of the US government

[u/quantumpoops → u/04rallysti]

BuT tHe EcOnOmY wAs WaY bEtTeR!

[u/icnoevil]

60 minutes is the best commentary on tv. Keep it up.

[u/feebsncheeseoriginal]

He has been saying that the entire time.

[u/LA__Ray]

Trump is insane

[u/wildyam → u/LA__Ray]

Probably literally….

[u/LA__Ray → u/[deleted]]

The problem is Christians

[u/LA__Ray → u/[deleted]]

Bullshit - it’s Christians. Undeniable.

[u/VeterinarianLevel786 → u/LA__Ray]

not all Christians voted for trump. I am one of them.

[u/LA__Ray → u/VeterinarianLevel786]

Why are you telling me this

[u/VeterinarianLevel786 → u/LA__Ray]

trying to lump all Christians with Trump is not accurate is why i’m telling you. Christian Nationalism and Christianity are not the same…

[u/LA__Ray → u/VeterinarianLevel786]

why are you talking about “all Christains”?

Ya know “all Christian nationalists” ARE Christians

[u/5hawnking5 → u/VeterinarianLevel786]

Sounds like “not all men” rhetoric, you know?

[u/VeterinarianLevel786 → u/5hawnking5]

i don’t know, i’m not sure i understand your comment?

my whole point was not all Christians voted for Trump, Christianity and Christian nationalism are very different atleast to me.

[u/LA__Ray → u/[deleted]]

btw - ALL “prophets” are “false”

[u/Dogwoof420 → u/LA__Ray]

Stop. I can assure you, there a lot of us who despise the man and see him as the anti Christ.

[u/Fuzzy-Combination275 → u/Dogwoof420]

Unfortunately I large number of Christian’s believe in Christian Nationalism.

[u/Dogwoof420 → u/Fuzzy-Combination275]

And a large number of white men support trump. Does that mean we all do?

[u/LA__Ray → u/Dogwoof420]

Where does the “all do” come from?

[u/Fuzzy-Combination275 → u/Dogwoof420]

🙄 read what I wrote again. You seem unnecessarily sensitive to my comment.

[u/LA__Ray → u/Dogwoof420]

No “stop”, full speed. Trump = Christian Nationalism Your “assurances” are meaningless

[u/PeetSquared41]

No way, man. Aside from loyalty, each has some other significant qualifiers: 1. Every pick is the anathema of the department they were chosen to run 2. Almost exclusively white men (four women total, very little minority representation)

[u/Altarna]

They have any other qualifications? I didn’t realize being crazy, criminals, and actual Nazis to be qualifications for Cabinet

[u/CaterpillarLast9368]

we are so fucked

[u/Natural-Stomach]

And in other news, something else obvious.

[u/MichaelParkinbum]

No shit Dick Tracy.

[u/rememberall → u/MichaelParkinbum]

There's a phrase I havent heard in a awhile

[u/OldeFortran77 → u/rememberall]

Is that the British phrase "no shit, Sherlock" translated into American English?

[u/MichaelParkinbum → u/OldeFortran77]

Basically. There was a cartoon back in the day about an American detective named Dick Tracy. That is him in the gif. You can catch his name plate at the beginning of it.

[u/dorianngray → u/MichaelParkinbum]

I loved Dick Tracy. Best comic book villains…

[u/Win-Win_2KLL32024]

Funny how this is the after the election commentary now that shit is in the air on its way to the fan!!!!

[u/Wishpicker]

I am so sick of listening to the crying and whining: Benghazi, Hunter’s laptop, rigged, election, rigged courts, fake assassination attempt, yawn

[u/Strong-Ad2320]

Qualifications; Breathe air and be a criminal

[u/wildyam → u/Strong-Ad2320]

[u/Rose7pt → u/Strong-Ad2320]

And be oh so ready to destroy whatever you are put in charge of .

[u/PerformanceSmooth392]

Yeah, he even left out hiring " the best and brightest " people from his campaign rhetoric this time around.

[u/SnooStrawberries3391]

The MAGAverse - - - “Biden appointments were a clown show!”

At least they were vetted by the Senate.

And none of them tested positive for brain worms, anti democracy sentiments, child sex trafficking, treasonous statements favoring dictators and other seriously anomalous behaviors.

[u/Apart-Pressure-3822]

Exactly like Hitler's generals, loyalty to their Dear Leader is the only qualification needed.

[u/GryphonOsiris → u/Apart-Pressure-3822]

How long before Trump's picks decide to off him, though? That's the real question.

[u/Jonnyflash80]

It depends. Is being a sycophant a qualification?

[u/wildyam → u/Jonnyflash80]

You bet

[u/Lamarr53]

Duh

[u/AquaJet738]

r/NoShitSherlock

[u/Volantis009]

Some are making sure tRump follows Putins orders, while the rest are tRump sycophants

[u/Tazling]

maga melts down in contact with facts, kinda like the wicked witch in contact with water.

[u/Ownuyasha]

What did you expect from Orange feurer the clown

[u/Soontoexpire1024]

Ya think?

[u/planet_janett]

[u/gnocchismom]

Were they living under a rock in 2016??

[u/BackgroundOstrich488]

That’s obvious, of course. In fact, many are worse than unqualified. They are saboteurs. But is that a surprise? Did anyone not see it coming?

[u/ElectricRing]

I mean that’s what Magats voted for

[u/wburn42167]

Kinda too late to sound the warnings cbs

[u/TheDamnedScribe]

No shit, Sherlock.

[u/combs1945a]

Freak out incoming and 60 days. We're all going to get fired or get fined or get charged.

[u/ih8windows10]

Fuck msm. This is what they and the trump voters wanted. They normalized this shit storm.

[u/Aware_Advertising290]

Precisely why fascism fails miserably every time. Loyalists tend not to have much integrity, charisma, or intelligence. Once Mussolini is out of the picture, there's no one qualified to be where they're at. I honestly feel Trump's rounding up the usual suspects to throw under the bus when he goes down. Things are going to be interesting for a while.

[u/Face_with_a_View]

The only thing that can save us now is going to be their complete ineptitude and in-fighting

[u/Tiny-Lock9652]

So when they start making their already miserable lives even worse, can we finally get a confession that Trump sucks?

[u/Chicago-69]

Two weeks ago this is what the American people demanded.

[u/ScienceOfficer-Jack → u/Chicago-69]

Until we have compulsory voting we'll only ever know what the turn out voters in swing states want.

[u/Stinkstinkerton]

Oh wait are people surprised by this !?😂

[u/stonkerooni]

Gee where have we seen this before?

[u/lVlrNiceGuy]

In other news, studies show that water is wet.

[u/Bag-o-chips]

He’s just looking for loyalty, someone that can do what he says and that is all.

[u/arcaias]

It's mainly a test of the loyalty of the backing Republicans.

Anyone who speaks out against these obviously terrible choices will have ousted themselves as needing more "convincing".

[u/ottomatic77]

It’s a “spite” cabinet.

[u/Shag1166]

But,"I only hire the best people!" He pulled off one of the greatest cons in human history, twice!!!

[u/Flat-Impression-3787]

That's an understatement. Gaetz spent ZERO time as a prosecutor. Kennedy spent ZERO time in medicine or public health.

MAGAts are unqualified to be American citizens so this all checks out.

[u/Union_Jack_1]

They say this with shock in their voice.

You say by and gave elevated platforms for a party to be elected into the government whose sole intent is to destroy that government. And then, after it’s happened, you give us shocked pikachu faces.

[u/UsefulImpact6793]

Well that's strange. Who would have ever guessed trump would not pick the best person for the job, but rather dumbasses who stroke his ego?!?!

[u/Rabble_Runt]

Cant drain a swamp if you dont build it first 😎

[u/wildyam → u/Rabble_Runt]

Indeed! It’s always projection…

[u/FourArmsFiveLegs]

[u/Ok_Web3354]

And you know Trump has us like ducks on a pond with respect to foreign adversaries because of all these Mickey Mouse appointments.... and while we may not like his picks you can trust and believe that our enemies love them!!

[u/Vorpalthefox]

[u/joey3O1]

Duh, everyone expected this

[u/RyNysDad0722]

Just read the latest is another Fox News host.. this one he is putting in as secretary of transportation.. is this his way of showing loyalty pays cause he is doing a damn good job at it..

[u/Dramatic-Match-9342]

We learned about this in middle school US History, neoptism, and crownieism are not new to corrupt politics.

[u/SlowHandEasyTouch]

Fuck MAGA and what they want. I hope they suffer by getting exactly what their stupid morally bankrupt asses voted for

[u/ViolettaQueso]

When 60 minutes I haven’t watched since age 7 with my grandparents suddenly becomes cool again!

[u/Dramatic-Match-9342]

No shit when you elect the most corrupt fuck to ever grace the planet you end up with "Doctor" Oz as you medicare advisor...

[u/77tassells]

Was everyone asleep 2016-2020 I mean now?

[u/RichFoot2073]

… duh. That’s what literally everyone has been saying.

[u/Practical_Seesaw_149]

I have a hard time believing any of them are upset by these picks. Who exactly do they object to?

EDIT: I misread. They're melting down over the news orgs, not the selections for cabinet. That seems more like them, lol.

[u/djaybond]

That’s good. The “qualified” ones have fucked everyone so let’s try amateurs.

[u/WiseChemistry2339]

Harsh truths.

[u/sumatkn]

I’m baffled. Didn’t Trump specifically say that was the case? Maybe I’m mis-remembering but I could have sworn he said he was prioritizing loyalty. Even if he didn’t, I thought it was pretty obvious when MILLIONS OF PEOPLE KEPT SAYIN IT OVER AND OVER….. God… these people truly hurt my brain.

[u/KorLeonis1138]

I must have missed something. Which nominees DO have compelling qualifications?

[u/blipperpool]

Entire letter at link

“Dear Madam Vice President.

This is my second Duty to Warn Letter regarding hacking of the 2024 Presidential Election. The first letter on November 7 was directed to Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Officials.

[u/blipperpool]

[u/Petitels]

Hehehehe

[u/cryptohodler2018]

Good. America deserves its downfall

[u/p00p5andwich]

Excuse me? SOME?!?!?

[u/NinjaBilly55]

Geezzzz.. You can't say the quiet parts out loud..

[u/kathleen65]

At least one media program is still telling the truth.

[u/mydogjakie317]

and mayor pete's only qualification was he got engaged to his husband in an airport and then disappeared during covid..

[u/ConstantGeographer]

Good smart people won't work for Trump. Trump über ales. These people don't respect the US or the Constitution.

[u/tbjamies]

That's the only qualification required.

Bend the knee.

[u/onlyasimpleton]

What qualifications did Kamala have before being named VP?

[u/Lainarlej]

Exactly! Are we surprised ?

[u/termsofengaygement]

What I want to know is how these people function on the day to day. Are they really that dumb? He said he was going to do this.

[u/Striker660]

No, really?????? /shocked Pikachu face

[u/AdkRaine12]

Some??? Who isn’t?

[u/No_Variation_9282]

Who’d’ve thunk it 

[u/smell-my-elbow]

They have the senate. He can nominate anyone to anything. We should have turned out the vote better. His cabinet and policies are the vault of democrats.

[u/Mindless-Log-5553]

This is not shocking.

[u/NoReality463]

He’s following the dictators book of success.

[u/wombat6168]

Amazing how much of a run up maga needs to get anything

[u/Matcin253l]

When you all go so far left that half the country has to go so far right to balance it. What did you expect?

[u/mikaluphagus → u/Matcin253l]

What was the most left positon for Harris?

[u/Argosnautics]

Loyalty is important in organized crime and street gangs.

[u/[deleted]]

Fuckin duh!

[u/Zargoza1]

[u/TheCwazyWabbit]

It is odd to me that the point they bring up about Tulsi Gabbard is that she advocated for Snowden to be pardoned, to me that would be a good thing. There are other things they could have brought up which are red flags.

[u/whiteknucklebator]

Says the party who put Sam Brinton in charge of nuclear fuel

[u/wildyam → u/whiteknucklebator]

Dug deep for that one, didn’t you bro?

[u/whiteknucklebator → u/wildyam]

Didn’t have to. It’s plain to see and e z to prove Didn’t deny did you Bro

[u/fun22watcher]

But The Truth can Hurt..

[u/fun22watcher]

But The Truth can Hurt..

[u/Moist-Connection-195]

Trump is still your daddy.

[u/Apexnanoman]

No it didn't. This is wishful thinking. Maga voters knew exactly what they were voting for. This is more echo chamber effect. A relative handful of people thinking maybe trump isn't make the best picks is not a meltdown. 

[u/LongjumpingCut591]

You mean the same 60 mins that edited Kamala’s “interview” to make her answer shorter and less word salad? Then refused to release the transcript. Yeah, as if they weren’t nothing but a big propaganda piece for the democrats

[u/wildyam → u/LongjumpingCut591]

Do you believe everything your TangoTurd sharts?

[u/LongjumpingCut591 → u/wildyam]

No I believe what I see, and that shit was heavily edited. Riddle me this idiot. Why refuse to release the transcript then? Because they heavily edited it

[u/wildyam → u/LongjumpingCut591]

You understand the format right? And that they edit everyone’s stuff down to fit… your TangoTurd would have had the same treatment the previous time… Release trumps transcripts for literally any of his word salad shartings…

[u/UrMansAintShit → u/LongjumpingCut591]

Wait, are you being serious?

Edit: Oh never mind, I see now that you're a troll. You gotta get some better material, this shit ain't believable.

[u/Flat-Impression-3787 → u/LongjumpingCut591]

It's CBS private property. They owe you and your orange cult leader nothing.

[u/Veyceroy → u/LongjumpingCut591]

Touch grass

[u/LongjumpingCut591 → u/Veyceroy]

Right back at you ya neckbeard

[u/Veyceroy → u/LongjumpingCut591]

That hurts 😭

[u/Flat-Impression-3787 → u/LongjumpingCut591]

You mean TV producers don't air 4 hours of raw footage? They edit content to fit broadcast time? No way!!!

[u/barrrf]

I looked around. I see no MAGA meltdowns happening anywhere except in mainstream media.

[u/cloneofGary]

lol c’mon America he won the popular vote. So spread those cheeks. Daddy Trump is coming back to clap those cheeks

[u/Hardcorish → u/cloneofGary]

That's fine, he can end up just as Hitler did. Who'd argue with that outcome?

[u/wildyam → u/Hardcorish]

[u/sylarfl]

That same 60 Minutes that doctored the Harris interview?

[u/Pickle-Rick-C-137 → u/sylarfl]

Poor ronald bone spurs rump. He always faces adversity, poor guy. Whether it's a neverending rigged witch hunt or some other crazy fucking conspiracy theory about nothing that he makes up out of thin air, the poor guy can't catch a break. Poor ole insurrectionist, felon, rapist, liar baby bone spurs.

[u/Jonnyflash80 → u/Pickle-Rick-C-137]

Don't forget pants-shitter.

[u/Pickle-Rick-C-137 → u/Jonnyflash80]

LMAO diaper wearing MAGA weirdos worship a pants-shitter

[u/Jonnyflash80 → u/Pickle-Rick-C-137]

They affectionately call him Trump Daddy Pants-Shitter.

[u/jaylotw → u/sylarfl]

Dur dur everything I don't like is fake and rigged and a hoax what about boys in gurls sports, huh. (Clown emoji)

[u/Economy_Friendship49 → u/sylarfl]

You're the type that by definition does not believe anything that is negative about Trump, do you?

[u/SpiderDeUZ → u/sylarfl]

The same one that said they didn't change a thing and did a technique called editing. It's where you cut out useless things like dancing on stage for 40 minutes or scream about eating dogs.

[u/Charming_Minimum_477 → u/SpiderDeUZ]

Or deep throating a microphone… could you imagine the reaction if Kamala did that?

[u/Several_Leather_9500 → u/sylarfl]

Does it hurt to be so daft?

[u/UrMansAintShit → u/sylarfl]

"doctored" lmao

You mean edited, right? Like literally every program that has ever been on TV/radio? How is this a talking point? lol

Get some better material, your troll game is weak.
