You know, I don't care if his picks are confirmed

Everything is going to be awful no matter what, so let people see just how despicable this admin is.

None of his picks will have the respect of the Departments they are charged with. None of them will be effective. And the infighting will be a daily occurrence.

8. I don't believe they will be effective at all.

Nothing will get done because they will be fighting amongst their own. We just have to stay out of the way and let them implode. Obviously we need to do all we can to stop anything egregious that looks like it could pass, but for the most part I believe they will fail. They are far too radical and cruel.

9. The passengers decided to murder the flight crew and let the first-class passengers fly the plane instead

Does it really matter if the new co-pilot is a fraudster or the new pilot is just coming off a raging 3-day coke binge? It's not like they're landing the plane safely at its destination anyway...

10. Pick the battles but some have to be fought because the gravity well of some damage

is too tough to get escape velocity from again.

Gabbert is a cimplete nonstarter and so is the roadkill cook, in my book.

Way too long term dangerous.

13. Gabbard will be the one who gets knocked out.

They're playing a game here. Trump is flexing his flab to excite his cult and the weirdo's on X. Republicans know they can only block one, maybe two. But most likely only one. They will knock off Gabbard and then Gaetz and Kennedy will get through because they'll claim they can't block them all. But the pick to replace Gabbard might be even worse. He might just put Mike Flynn there.

I am sure the ensuing chaos will be blamed on Democrats no matter what.

14. They will try to blame Democrats, because they always try that.

Much more difficult to do now that they control everything.

Trouble is, he keeps finding people who are even worse. Watching for as long as I can stand it.
