I take isue with your comment that Tommy Tubbs is the dumbest Senator in US history. My personal fave for that title is none other than Ron Johnson. That man is 'clownfuckingly stupid' (courtesy Jeff Tiedrich). Although, Tommy Tubbs still can't name the 3 branches of government. At least RonJo can do that much. I think.
The great things is these folks are so inept, I’m not sure they can actually inflict the type of damage that they would like to, or that anyone is expecting…
It’s going to be blunderfuck central, and they might start a huge war with China, but not sure they’ll be able to enact the worst of what they would like
It's continuing all right. I just read that Trump has nominated MATT. FUCKING. GAETZ. for U.S. Attorney General. Aside from anything else, he's about forty-two, no appropriate experience (I had to check his bio to confirm that he's even a lawyer) and possesses all the restraint and dignity of a rabid weasel.
Well, I guess Trump figures they can always compare notes on sex with under-aged girls when they're not ratfucking the DOJ.
The simple idea behind these picks is that they should be as incompetent as possible while also showing maximum loyalty to Trump. No one should be surprised. The aim is to destroy the government as quickly and completely as possible. Trump no doubt believes that he alone is capable of ruling, and he will impose this view on the entire country.
it's the principle of all absolutism regimes through the centuries. Pick incompetents who can grovel and you continue to hold all the power. Hire competent men and women and they will immediately begin to attract support as people realize they know what they are doing. That makes them a threat. I'm looking at you Louis XIV.
With trump as King the Secretary of Defense is mostly just going to be an honorary position anyway. Yes, he'll get busy unwoking the military, (You want to call your fellow troops racial slurs, be our guest!) and getting rid of the women especially those with a high ranking. But as for where they're deployed, and what uses they will be put to, that's going to be Vladimir Putin's decision. Who's your Daddy?!
Except there aren't. Since 2002, the standards have been lowered to quite sad levels. It will take a full -on depression for anyone to willingly sign up these days.... Oh.
Hegseth was a member of the National Guard. Yeah, that's a part of the Army, but he was not a Regular.
And frankly, this pick is NOT FUNNY. It's fucking dangerous that Trump wants a Secretary of Defense that would never and could never be considered for such an office if it weren't for Trump's personal advocacy, has none of the institutional reputation or gravitas needed for leadership or any ability to push back against superiors OR zealot subordinates. His expected incompetence is a FEATURE, not a bug, and is intended to help cement Trump's control of the military.
I asked my boss to assign me every consulting job we had at a munitions plant. Generally the workforce is 70% veterans. They were inclusive, they listened to every question, and made sure that every questioned was answered. And then made sure you have no more questions. I loved working with these woke vets. Also too, when the lib in me leaked out, they never attacked my politics. Unlike all the other factories.
trumpy is putting together his own special Cabinet of Curiosities.
Note that they typically contained fossils, insects, preserved fishes, stuffed mammals, curious shells,
stuffed crocodiles, specimen boxes, covered jars, etc. trumpy's Cabinets, of course, is much weirder.
Fooled me. Thought it would be about Tulsi and her skunk stripe.
Did anyone see the clip of Hegseth throwing an axe, missing the target, and almost manslaughtering a nearby drummer?

Given the Repub Senators, "dumbest" is a high bar.
Fuck Pete Headset.
Ta, Evan. Wonkette is the only reason I know the name Hegseth. Blecchhhh!
He so would have January 6th. But his dumb job kept him in NY. 90% not even kidding.
No lie.
I'm starting to think this is descending into farce. Matt Gaetz for DOJ? What??
This is all going according to plan. No surprises. He's doing exactly what he said he would do.
Expect this to continue.

If there's a DOD scandal, no one will ever say that the SecDef himself kept his hands clean.
He has the most diverse staph ever in the history of the DoD

His primary duty will be to provide effusive praise for Chump at cabinet meetings.
Oh, he'll be busy quashing sexual assault allegations.
Are we talking about Hegseth or Gaetz?
Yes.
And solving the problem by kicking women out of the military.
Women and POC should start looking for other jobs, outside the military. Jesus wept.
Sounds like that is Hegseth's goal.
However...you gotta replace them with the white boys...do I hear a draft coming!?!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
No need. After the fall of the DOE there will be millions of under-educated, aimless momma's boys looking for something to do.
Except there aren't. Since 2002, the standards have been lowered to quite sad levels. It will take a full -on depression for anyone to willingly sign up these days.... Oh.
and they certainly wont be doing the jobs all the deported migrants were doing

A 2 Star General would be laughed out of Congress in the real world. This moron will be recess-passed.
Welcome to Stalinism
I have to disagree, it is funny as hell to me. But I laughed so hard at the Matty Gaetz news I almost wrecked my car.
I suspect he probably took part in a war crime at some point.
Man, I bet that ghoul Erik Prince is pissed he wasn't tapped.

Congratulations Sliders, we are officially in the worst timeline.
Can we go back to the one with the dinosaurs?
That was an especially good one, the one with the dinosaurs. Not that I'm biased....
