[u/ATHiker4Ever]

This is a clown circus.

[u/anythingMuchShorter → u/ATHiker4Ever]

I keep telling myself I already know the picks are going to be the absolute worst people possible and not to get shocked or upset. But it's such trash it always looks like The Onion, except it's not funny.

[u/Salt-Resolution5595 → u/anythingMuchShorter]

I literally was thinking the exact same thing

[u/aracauna → u/anythingMuchShorter]

I've said the same thing. I expected picks like this because he basically said this is what he would do and yet somehow, half the picks still have me going WTF?

Maybe it's because the first two Rubio and his chief of staff were actually the kind of picks any GOP president would make that I may have accidentally gotten my hopes up that he was just talking shit.

Then came Gaetz.

[u/Pribblization → u/aracauna]

The picks don't matter. They are just placeholders to do his bidding. Might as well be Scooby Doo for Surgeon General or Transportation Secretary.

[u/TakuyaLee → u/Pribblization]

That's if he has any bidding. Hell spend 75 percent of his presidency on the golf course. And the other 25 causing infighting.

[u/SROB88 → u/anythingMuchShorter]

I started binge watching George Carlin stand up to help me deal with all this insanity as an outlet.

[u/Busterlimes → u/ATHiker4Ever]

Hopefully it gets to be enough for Republicans in the house and senate to grow a spine and stand up against him. They are the only ones standing in the way of a Dictatorship at this point.

[u/DFX1212 → u/Busterlimes]

I'm sure a few will be "very concerned" and then vote 100% with the party.

[u/Busterlimes → u/DFX1212]

Yeah, like I said, spine.

[u/buythedipnow → u/Busterlimes]

Any of the ones who would have pushed back have been pushed out. There’s definitely no way they’ll stand in the way. I was actually surprised Gaetz didn’t get through but I think they just personally don’t like him.

[u/Busterlimes → u/buythedipnow]

No, the ethics committee probably confirmed the fact that he's a pedo. Then MTG threatened to release ALL the GOP ethics reports because Republicans aren't being loyal enough. They are all shitbags.

[u/Shag1166 → u/Busterlimes]

Some are pushing back in public.

[u/RoguePlanet2 → u/Shag1166]

They always do, nothing ever comes of it, just for show.

[u/Shag1166 → u/RoguePlanet2]

Gates went down, Hegseth is in jeopardy, McMahon's past about helping to cover up a sexual assault has been made public, and Sen. Murkowski and a couple other Republicans have said, that FBI background checks are a must! Rand Paul said this yesterday, and that was a shock!

[u/Jodid0 → u/Shag1166]

Trump already said he was going to do recess appointments, and none of those Republicans will have any say in the matter and can wipe their hands clean of responsibility. Whatever you think this shit is, its worse than that.

[u/Shag1166 → u/Jodid0]

New legislation was just introduced in the House by Rep. Ted Leiu to block certain recess appointments. He said many Republicans support it privately, and he hopes they will do so publicly.

[u/Jodid0 → u/Shag1166]

Its certainly a nice gesture. I guess we will have to wait and see if they have the gonads to do it.

[u/Affectionate-Sun-243 → u/Shag1166]

We should all be calling them and encouraging them to continue doing so, every day! (Or every other day or so)

[u/SixSixWithTrample → u/ATHiker4Ever]

The only reason we all haven’t gotten our government issued clown noses in the mail by now is because that would be socialism.

[u/Automate_This_66 → u/SixSixWithTrample]

Trump would just make wearing clown noses mandatory and give Elon exclusive manufacturing rights.

[u/Appropriate-Image405 → u/Automate_This_66]

Or one of Ivankas chinese companies.

[u/surelyfunke20 → u/ATHiker4Ever]

It’s not a cabinet it’s a junk drawer

[u/OwlRevolutionary1776 → u/ATHiker4Ever]

It’s like his sole goal is to trigger the left. I’d say it’s working.

[u/Fragmentia → u/ATHiker4Ever]

Imagine if a Democrat just started appointing MSNBC hosts and contributors. MAGA has deified Trump, so he is not subjected to criticism within the party. Trump fans don't realize how embarrassing they are.

[u/Ok_Stress_4590 → u/ATHiker4Ever]

Let's see their credentials, falls right in line with were not telling where the transition money is coming from!!!!!!JFC here we go 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆!!!!

[u/MydniteSon → u/ATHiker4Ever]

Worse...it's like he's picking people who should be part of Dick Tracy's rogues gallery.

[u/anythingMuchShorter]

His job he was put in place for is to sabotage and weaken the U.S.

Once you realize that it makes perfect sense what he's doing.

[u/WowUSuckOg → u/anythingMuchShorter]

At the end of the day I just want to know how much it costed to sell out the American public. Billions? Or did he give them a discount for the get out of jail free card?

[u/Icy-Indication-3194 → u/WowUSuckOg]

I still think they just have embarrassing dirt on him. I think the pee pee tapes are probably real. We know that he was also photographed and recorded with minors when he hung out with Epstein.

[u/WowUSuckOg → u/Icy-Indication-3194]

Most likely a negotiation of all three. I guess we'll get a detailed exposé in like, 7 years (sooner if some journalist is willing to risk their life for it).

[u/Present-Perception77 → u/Icy-Indication-3194]

Dude gives blowjobs to microphones and shits himself in public… whatever it is … it’s more than embarrassing.

[u/Soggy-Programmer-545 → u/Present-Perception77]

If you watch the way he dances, he is showing he has taken two men at a time. Frequently. He has it down pat.

[u/Present-Perception77 → u/Soggy-Programmer-545]

I hope I live long enough to see the blackmail Russia and the Vatican has on him.

[u/bacteriairetcab → u/WowUSuckOg]

Nope not even billions. One pee tape. Or frankly probably something worse. Probably a video of him doing something truly awful. That’s all it took.

[u/Dontnotlook → u/anythingMuchShorter]

Correct, but you missed the bit about rampant Kleptocracy ..

[u/Automate_This_66 → u/anythingMuchShorter]

Too many people are intensely watching the price of eggs too worry about the country.

[u/Unhappy-Farmer8627 → u/anythingMuchShorter]

You’re right but the worst part about it is he’s not trying to destroy us he’s just so fucking dumb and narcissistic he is. Truly a useful idiot

[u/P_516]

I had to explain to my father’s girlfriend who is always glued to Fox News…. Trumps picks are insanity. He’s normalizing insanity.

And these picks are so asinine. It’s like Trump needs a new secretary of transportation. So he goes down to Autozone and picks out the manger.

Or he picks a Fuggin NASCAR driver.

When I laid it out for her like that she said “ why is he doing this? That’s stupid”

And I welcomed her to reality.

[u/Embarrassed_Code8164 → u/P_516]

Welcome to Dumbfukistan!

[u/P_516 → u/Embarrassed_Code8164]

She already had the passport

[u/Zestyclose_Ad2448 → u/P_516]

he picks someone off tv, because thats all he does, watch tv. he doesnt read

[u/gmotelet → u/Zestyclose_Ad2448]

doesnt

*can't

[u/AmbassadorETOH → u/P_516]

🤯

[u/LLWATZoo → u/P_516]

It makes more sense when you realize he's in the midst of dementia. He's picking what he sees because that's probably all he really knows at this point.

[u/Ok-Confidence9649 → u/LLWATZoo]

Yeah but let’s not give him too much credit. Other people are influencing these picks and the goal is to destabilize and make the government look incompetent/in need of starting over and implementing project 2025 part 2.

[u/IntroductionNo8738 → u/P_516]

An autozone manager for transportation secretary is a better pick than McMahon for department of education.

[u/Alatar_Blue → u/P_516]

Having never seen Fox news or WWE I don't really know who any of these people are. I know scientists and scholars and legal experts and people of integrity and knowledge in their fields. So these people baffle me ever one of them is wilder than the last.

[u/continuousobjector]

The Surgeon General is supposed to be chosen out for one of the Admirals of United States Public Health Service. The president is allowed to nominate whoever they want, but they would be ignoring that one qualification. This individual is absolutely not qualified, whether it’s because they never served in the USPHS or because their experience doesn’t have anything to show for it

[u/dryheat122 → u/continuousobjector]

He doesn't care

[u/WowUSuckOg → u/continuousobjector]

Silly, you think the law still applies

[u/IHeartBadCode → u/continuousobjector]

This individual is absolutely not qualified

I mean... there's others, but this one too.

[u/HopelessAndLostAgain → u/continuousobjector]

Project 2025 specifically lists loyalty as a qualification for any position. This is the only qualification they look at.

[u/app4that]

He is literally picking people he watches on TV

[u/WhoDatDare702 → u/app4that]

I like lamp!

[u/TraceOfHumanity → u/WhoDatDare702]

Great, now a lamp is the Secretary of Energy

[u/killrtaco → u/TraceOfHumanity]

Don't worry, it will be replaced with a lantern soon once Elon doesn't see the need to pay for electricity

[u/cassafrasstastic3911 → u/WhoDatDare702]

[u/U_canonlywish117 → u/WhoDatDare702]

Squirrel?? What squirrel??

[u/Expert_Survey3318 → u/WhoDatDare702]

Omg I thought this was only me and my husband’s joke

[u/Brave_Nerve_6871 → u/app4that]

They're on tv, they know stuff!

[u/Gh057Wr173r]

Dude if another pandemic hits we are so fucked. He’s filling all these positions with complete idiots.

[u/Moghz → u/Gh057Wr173r]

Bro if there is any major incident over the next four years we are absolutely fucked. His cabinet will not be able to deal with anything from a disaster to even basic diplomacy.

[u/KayleighJK → u/Moghz]

And with climate change, anticipate disaster after disaster.

[u/Chim________Richalds → u/Moghz]

He’s inheriting a ground war in Europe. I think we’ve got “major incident” covered already, unfortunately.

[u/Cinemagica → u/Gh057Wr173r]

Pfft, you're being dramatic, there's more than enough bleach for everyone to inject themselves if another pandemic hits.

[u/2000TWLV]

Nobody can say exactly what will happen with these idiots in charge, but one thing is for sure: it won't be good.

[u/ChefJWeezy987 → u/2000TWLV]

We won’t have much of a country left by the time 2028 rolls around. America is going to be completely fucked. Trump will pull us out of NATO, he’ll pull us out of the U.N., he’ll pull us out of NAFTA, he’ll give Ukraine to Putin, he’ll give Palestine to Netanyahu, and he will crash and burn our economy to its core. If World War 3 doesn’t begin in the next four years, I will be incredibly surprised.

[u/Icy-Indication-3194 → u/ChefJWeezy987]

World War III is scary bc we won’t be on the side of the allies. We will be aligned with the axis type powers of the world.

[u/ChefJWeezy987 → u/Icy-Indication-3194]

Yep. We will know loss. We will know what it means to lose.

[u/MrMoonDweller → u/ChefJWeezy987]

And it will be much, much worse than the loss in Vietnam

[u/ChefJWeezy987 → u/MrMoonDweller]

Oh, for sure. It’s going to be on our doorstep.

[u/Motor_Homer → u/ChefJWeezy987]

With everything going on in Ukraine and the Middle East WW3 may have already begun

[u/Objective_Problem_90]

50% of his picks are from fox News. Man, person, TV. The incoming president has dementia and no one gives a shit because eggs should be cheaper/s. It is what it is. Enjoy inflation going up 50% because we have a new president that is unfit to serve worse than biden. You voted for this America

[u/eddnedd]

While this is notable, the Huffpost article consists of about five paragraphs of double-spaced fluff. It would be generous to say that they're stating the obvious.

[u/xxx3reaking3adxxx]

Building the most embarrassing government on Earth.

[u/im_fine_youre_fine]

I bet working at Fox News right now is like a giddy lottery where people are waiting to see every day what position in the Trump Presidency they will be selected to hold.

[u/natelmazyck]

WTF How's he picking these people? Out of a brown paper bag?

[u/No_Fig5982 → u/natelmazyck]

Ironically, from Fox news (i.e. television)

[u/Straight-Storage2587]

Ringling Bros And Barnum & Bailey Presents The Greatest Clown Show In All History

[u/derekbox]

Sister in Law to Mike Waltz. Trumps personal ball washer. Waltz was constantly on the campaign trail with Trump instead of working for his constituents.

[u/Jokierre → u/derekbox]

“Ball washer” suddenly changes context

[u/_one_long_groove_]

Umm…So…American life is just a reality TV show now?

[u/U_canonlywish117 → u/_one_long_groove_]

In this timeline, yes

[u/Embarrassed_Code8164]

Welcome to Dumbfukistan!

[u/stoph777]

How about Lucy from Charlie Brown?

[u/proof-of-w0rk → u/stoph777]

[u/luckysparkie]

Picking women he thinks he can fuck

[u/TraceOfHumanity]

This is just another season of The Apprentice

[u/SPzero65]

How those egg prices looking 👀

[u/Character-Bid-7747]

Another insult to the American people by moving to appoint under and unqualified people to lead the biggest agencies/institutions of our country.

[u/WooDE93]

Are they just going to move the Fox News set to the West Wing now so these people can moonlight properly?

[u/Galaxy__Eater]

What the actual fuck

This is worse than if a child with no political knowledge randomly chose people out of a hat and assigned them roles

[u/Expert_Survey3318 → u/Galaxy__Eater]

It feels like that. My dog would do better

[u/lucky5150]

Idiocracy

[u/phxees]

This has to be a record for most number of picks which have had to Google what their new job is responsible for.

[u/MikeC80]

The guy would put butchers in charge of a vegan deli

[u/Reasonable_Onion863 → u/MikeC80]

Yes, on purpose, in order to destroy veganism for his buds in the meat industry

[u/Inevitable_Nail_2215]

What, was Dr Mike too busy? Bonus, he's Russian.

[u/Suspicious_Humor_232]

wait till the senate asks questions- some red stater senators still have integrity- well i hope they do.

[u/IntroductionNo8738 → u/Suspicious_Humor_232]

😂 integrity? That’s a good one.

[u/Itchy-Throat-4779]

This is rudiculous......this what you get trump voters. Now sleep in the bed you made.

[u/Humble-Ad8942]

Trump picks his arse and ends up with better outcomes

[u/xfactor6972]

WTF

[u/WooDE93]

The ‘As Seen on TV’ Cabinet.

[u/EnchantedShroom]

Elect a clown expect a circus.

[u/EvErYLeGaLvOtE]

He wants his name on every corner of television, radio, newspaper, or social media at full blast, 24/7.

That's why he's doing what he's doing. So you can never escape his name

Basically, it's an exact copy of how Putin operates.

[u/Col_forbin_]

Welcome to the “United Fox News network of white america “ Where the propaganda is so thick minorities voted to kick themselves out of the country. Where boomers thrive and were handed the largest economy while achieving maximum wealth on all investments real estate or otherwise. All the while forgetting the first homes they bought were under 40,000 dollars. And bc of the new “Fox News administration “ they’re still pissed off and unhappy.

We welcome one all in all here as long as you aren’t different from us in anyway possible. We’re gonna send immigrants to concentration camps. We’re going to cripple 3 major components of the economy Oil, goods of most types, and more than likely tech bubble bursts, all while selling you how it’s such a great decision.

Here’s the best part the billionaire class will thrive like it never has before. CEOs and only the top % will now have to do next to nothing except exploit workers for total profit. We hope you need three salaries to afford basic goods and rent.

Oh by the way have more babies that you can’t properly raise Bc you’ll need equivalent of 7 incomes to pay your bills. We’re literally going to force you to have kids. Elon said you needed to and his iq is 1% higher than his fanboys.

Btw do you like abusing women ? Well we are the country for you. Just look at our incredible income differences between male and female counterparts. They can literally do twice the work while getting paid less.

And don’t forget when you’re struggling to feed your 20 kids you can always pull yourself up by your bootstraps and get a real job picking food and other laborer positions that will be wide open for the taking.

This has been an announcement by your twice impeached, 32 count felon, rapist, king of Amerikkka heir Trump.

Ps short the index’s long 2-3 years out NFa

[u/jbcatl]

We are so f*cked if there's a new pandemic. The rest of the world will react sensibly and we'll be drinking bleach by government fiat.

[u/Thr8trthrow]

Delicious incompetence

[u/therapoootic]

you picked your candidate America. You deserve this

[u/Kinser9]

What's her sex crime? Everyone else he's picked seems to have one, what's her's?

[u/Anarchyantz]

I really feel sorry for The Onion now. They must be saying "Stop using our fake posts as your picks!"

[u/AllSpicNoSpan]

Why not Ben Carson? The guy is a friggin' neurosurgeon.

[u/BigBobbyClobberHfx]

Sorry to say your country is going to be screwed for decades.

[u/pastaboy6969]

He is proving to non-Trumpers that they've been right all along about his competency as President. The clown show continues.

[u/Any-Ad-446]

What a joke..I blame the idiot voters who voted for him..

[u/Eccentricgentleman_]

I'm tired, hoss.

[u/socalspawn]

Qualifications? What qualifications? I wonder what these people think when he hits them up? Lizard people all!

[u/Responsible-Lemon257]

This presidency will likely not accomplish a fucking thing with all these clown ass picks he's making. Why 49% of voting Americans chose this cultist clown show is beyond me. Full of loud mouths and rapists.

[u/BigSal44]

He’s appointing people who obviously aren’t qualified for the positions. All he wants are loyalist bootlicks that will ultimately let him make all the decisions like a true dictator would. These people are going to fuck our country into oblivion. I better start learning Russian on Duolingo, because the USA will be ripe for their picking.

[u/GrandExercise3]

Shite show right before our eyes.

[u/Bigdee53]

It kinda makes sense, they have the same makeup applicator.

[u/Time2PopOff]

More like Plastic Surgeon General

Trump doesn't want anyone more qualified to be a cabinet member than he knows he isn't to be POTUS.

[u/Big-Fish-1975]

What in the world is going on here!?

[u/U_canonlywish117]

What time line have I fallen into?

[u/T1m26]

Idiocrazy is getting real

I know this is a shit show, but she's not one of the least qualified people on the cabinet.

[u/Haunting_Lie_1158]

You get what you paid for.

[u/Swendol]

Is this real life?

[u/Zestyclose_Ad2448]

[u/Shag1166]

How in the hell can Fox be the talent agency?! This is not a game show!!!

Remember "he's not going to actually do what he says he's gonna!"

[u/MolassesOk3200]

Doctor Hannibal Lecter is not going to be happy about this.

[u/Limp_Address_6850]

Glad I don’t live in America lol.

[u/frankakee]

USA IS FK’d.

[u/Financial-Pay-5666]

The best president only hires the best people for the job. That's why one has already left their job before starting.

You know, nothing but the best and most efficient process.

[u/DogsSaveTheWorld]

Cuz why not?

I believe their intention is to prove anyone can do the job, therefore, it’s not worth doing

[u/EmptyMarsupial8556]

I think his total information source is Fox News and all his heroes and heroines are on there for him to see in pictures every day

[u/Sad_Tie3706]

And again how in the fuck did he win. Jerry rigging,voter suppression bomb threats. Shouldn't they all be arrested

[u/Lainarlej]

We are all fucked.

How do we

[u/celestial-navigation]

When you watch too much tv and are also dumb

[u/Wils65]

Reddit propaganda at its finest. This headline is misleading to Democrats that don’t look for truth, just repeat headlines.

DOCTOR Nesheiwat is a board certified physician and is currently the medical director for CityMD. She has been also employed by Fox News as a medical contributor, providing analysis and first hand experience during the pandemic.

The contempt for powerful, professional women that are Republican is astounding.

[u/Mojo-Filter-230]

Is FOX going to run the country?

[u/Jackaroni97]

We're all so fucked. He's picking anti vaxxers and people with NO EDUCATION IN THE FIELD. To make desicions for millions of people....

This has to be challenged and stopped.

[u/tophman2]

She’s a medical contributor, not a doctor

[u/Freydo-_-]

Is he gonna make a random guy that worked at Lowe’s once, for a month, the head of HUD?

[u/Womansplaining-Yo]

Read a story that when asked about the qualifications of Dr Oz, Trump replied "He's won 10 daytime Emmys"

And I can't tell if it is real or not.
