Scalia, Alito, Joe Arpaio, Ron DeSantis -- and now this garbage pile.

It never fails.

Every single Italian-American in politics is one of the worst possible people for the job, and also one of the worst possible people, period.

“Caligula appoints his horse as a consul”

`

The story goes that after Caligula died, the rest of the Roman Senate discussed what was to be done with Incitatus (the horse). One person spoke up and said that "at least the horse had given no evil counsel and had done no murders", which presumably put him ahead of most of them. They agreed, and gave him a permanent (but mostly ceremonial) position.

"“Caligula appoints his horse as a consul” stages of the Trump presidency yet, an entire 35 days into it. (Is Caligula’s horse worse than Dan Bongino? We say neigh!)"

Hay, if you wish to remain stable, please stop horsing around and call a halter to this kind of pun. I'm sure it seems like you canter resist the urge to make bad puns, but rein it in, instead of saddling us with it.

One thing you can say about the tRump administration, it should serve as a permanent ('permanent' ha ha) object lesson on why No, Mediocre White Men Really AREN'T More Qualified To Run Anything, Ever.

It won't. But it should.

Honestly, didn't know how far down the barrel Trump could scrape. Bongino is the slimy bottom. I hope.

Does anyone besides me look at Bongino and Hegseth and think that they are twin sons of different mothers?

I feel sorry for the mother in labor who had to pass that enormous, perfectly cube-shaped head.

I mean, seriously, look at him. His head has CORNERS.

Career FBI senior management need to “Yes sir, and how should I fuck off sir?” these worthless shits. Make them specify every step of an order in exquisite detail. Ask for guidance, specific guidance, on every subtask of every step. Then ask for clarifying guidance to that guidance. Make them demonstrate their incompetence daily. Lock down the center of the organization, creating a buffer between the douchebags at the top and the team doing the real work in the field.

Patel and Bondingo look more like they belong on the FBI's "most wanted" list.

At some point the Trump clown car has to crash and burn. His luck can't hold out forever. Keep up the resistance, and VOTE!! VOTE! in every single election not just the major Federal events. The MAGA are trying to pack every level of government with Trump loyalist chumps. Stop them!

Art Bell Libelz!! Most of the wingnut conspiracy theories would have gotten nothing but a laugh from Art.

Well, he’s been a law enforcement agent, which puts him up there with Pete Hegseth and…um…Dr. Oz is an actual doctor, right? Three appointments with some incredibly weak sauce but tangentially related resume experience related to their new portfolio.

I mean, not real GOOD qualifications or performance or whatever, but the TVQ!!!

Perhaps I am being harsh to Linda McMahon. It is possible there was at some point a wrestler with a super genius gimmick?

Everyone knows the Stonecutters stole the 2020 election. Afterall, they held back the electric car and made Steve Guttenberg a star.

Are you saying Steve Guttenberg couldn't have made it on his own?

Dear Gary,

You owe me a new keyboard for "sentient muscle t-shirt with Vaseline stains."

Ta, Gary. No one sane would put whole lemons in the Osterizer, but that's not the reason for DB ostracism.

That said, had anyone told 16-year-old hippie radical Zyxomma that in 2025 she'd be on the freebies side, she (I) would not have believed it.

I understand, same here, but back then they were at least tough efficient cops, not creepy weirdos. The guys running the FBI now are the guys the FBI used to be looking for to haul in for questioning.

Not being on the side of the Fibbers is one thing. Being opposed to giving a bunch of avowed neo-Nazi loons and imbeciles the keys to the Hoover Building is certainly not the same thing as being an FBIfangirl.
