The construction of the kakistocracy continues.

Trump's Cabinet selections so far have been the worst possible people. It's like he went out to find the most unqualified, extreme, weird, dangerous people out there, and selected them for exactly those qualities as a big ol' fuck you to the rest of us. But really, the only qualification that's non-negotiable to him is absolute loyalty. His cabinet must consist entirely of people who are willing, indeed eager, to abase themselves and grovel before him, say and do anything to please Dear Leader. If we thought the first North Korea-style go-around at the big conference table with all the Cabinet secretaries enthusiastically offering their BJs complete with swallowing was grotesque, wait until the next one. Maybe he'll have them drop their pants and bend over and he'll paddle them with a copy of Project 2025 until they scream "Thank you, sir! May I have another?"

There are still a few unannounced openings. For Surgeon General, how about "Doctor" Ronny Jackson, or maybe the crackpot Florida Surgeon General, Joseph Lapado, or maybe the Demon Sperm doctor Stella Emmanuel? My money's on Ronny Jackson because he's the biggest suckup.

Transportation? Whoever advocates most enthusiastically for petroleum-powered vehicles and toll roads whenever he can pull his lips off Trump's butt.

Housing and Urban Development will have to go to a Black person because of course urban = Black. Mark Robinson needs a new job, and there's always Tim Scott. Robinson is crazy while Scott is just a suck-up so I'm going with Robinson.

Any other ideas? Any good placements for Marjorie Taylor Green? Tommy Tuberville for Veterans Affairs?

foods, not afraid of anatomy.
Until now, reading your list, I had the first sense of dread I have been shying away from.
This is really happening.
Jackson or Lapado?
Robinson.
Rubio knows where Cuba is and he probably knows some of our foreign policy secrets, but managing our best interests with an hawkishness scares the shit out of me.
We are becoming the dystopian antithesis to what we have aspired.
We have become a nation of social media, least common denominator, dunderheads.
Before you put the gearbox in drive, you better know how to brake. Obviously, warning your fellow citizens with a blinker is too much.
If we don't get 'em prepubescently, it likely won't happen.
