Here's my attempt to explain the cabinet picks.

[beautress]

His plan is to make a mockery of government.

Are you referring to President or President Biden? Plans are not for mockery, they are for service that works for the good of the people.

 

[Dekster]

Seeing as she remained in trump's inner circle following his failed attempt to steal the election she immediately disqualified herself for consideration to serve in any position in the federal government.

Apparently not.

 

[Dekster]

The SBA is a backwater agency with a budget of 318 Million dollars.

The Dept. of Education has a budget of 238 Billion that has a national reach.

But, hey McMahon runs an entertainment company where steroid addicts pretend to fight, so that's something.

The SBA has a budget of $1.2Billion and holds a portfolio of loans in excess of $400B

 

[berg80]

Apparently not.

I suppose I should have qualified my remark by including, "if these were normal times." They aren't. This is the time of trumpery.

 

[berg80]

Down goes Gaetz. Who's next? Depends on the degree of sycophancy displayed by Repub senators.

 

[22lcidw]

I think that's the overall problem in a country that no longer considers a Politician to be an admirable career path.

We've convinced ourselves that all politicians are crooks and that anyone could do a better job than they are doing.

Many politicians are good men and women. We need a lot more of them. And going into that field is precarious. Look what the scum does to destroy others. Even if they did nothing. Progs will vote their candidates through. As they did for Joe. Republicans do the same thing over and over. People are more and more aggravated watching what they vote in, screw them over.

 

[berg80]

The tradition of advise and consent caused Gaetz to withdraw. It's why trump is trying to get rid of it.

Another false equivalence. Any one of 50 things should have disqualified Don in the eyes of those who supported him. They ignored all of them. That's never happened before in our history.

Trump Chooses Longtime Ally Linda McMahon to Run Education Dept.

President-elect Donald J. Trump on Tuesday tapped Linda McMahon, a former professional wrestling executive who ran the Small Business Administration for much of his first term, to lead the Education Department, an agency he has routinely singled out for elimination in his upcoming term.

A close friend of Mr. Trump’s and a longtime booster of his political career, Ms. McMahon had been among his early donors leading up to his electoral victory in 2016 and has been one of the leaders of his transition team, vetting other potential appointees and drafting potential executive orders since August.

In Ms. McMahon, 76, Mr. Trump has elevated someone far outside the mold of traditional candidates for the role, an executive with no teaching background or professional experience steering education policy, other than an appointment in 2009 to the Connecticut State Board of Education, where she served for just over a year.
Trump Chooses Linda McMahon, a Longtime Ally, for Education Secretary

They were picked for their personal loyalty, prior fidelity to trumpery, and unquestioning subservience. And to own the libs, which is a super reason to do anything. That much is a given. But many are cut in his mold as well. First and foremost, almost all are manifestly unfit for the jobs they've been chosen to do. Some were previously accused of sexual abuse, or fraud. Some have experience on TV, especially trump TV, otherwise known as Faux. Some have made remarks that are antithetical to the mission of the agency they will lead. The entire endeavor has become so farcical it's like picking an executive from a clownish entertainment company to run the Dept. of Ed. Wait......that just happened.

As if to say, running government agencies requires no experience, expertise, or sincere desire to make things better. After all, I'm a flaming buffoon and I was the prez. MAGA.

these people are not there to manage their agencies. they are there to live on tv and throw out distractions while the guys heritage sends from their project 2025 do the actual damage.

 

[TimFitz]

I agree they are unserious picks. But perhaps there's some methodology behind them. If you were looking to fulfill the prophecy that government doesn't work you'd be hard pressed to make better picks.

He expects every one of them to be complete stooges for him.

He has a long history of preferring yes men, and people who tell him what he wants to hear.

They are also meant to be court jesters. A supporting cast of yes men and sleazy creeps to cheer their fuhrer, contribute their own particular brands of bigotry, isolationism, fearmongering, Mexihate, or promote the mega church agenda.

And if any of them get too much press, says the wrong thing (aand Trump is so unstable that you’ll never know what that is), or asserts themselves behind closed doors, they’re out. just like that. he’ll have someone fire them (he never had the stones to do it himself)

Trump Chooses Longtime Ally Linda McMahon to Run Education Dept.

This is what impresses and excites America now. This is where we are as a society:

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

It's afraid



Trump's misogynist Hitler

 

[Mac-7]

It's afraid



Trump's misogynist Hitler

Well thats encouraging

I want someone to clean house at DOJ

If she can do that then I’m happy

Don’t explain them …

Biden's cabinet was a clown bus full of anti-American Leftists. Trump's cabinet is full of people he can TRUST to always put America and Americans first.
