Hell Is Empty, And All The Devils Are Here (Current Affairs). This is the rogue's gallery.

Trump’s staff picks are a rogue’s gallery of cranks, oligarchs, religious fanatics, and alleged sexual abusers. He’s not “draining the swamp,” he’s deepening it and adding more snakes.

One of the most famous catchphrases associated with Donald Trump and his presidential campaigns—along with “Make America Great Again”—is “drain the swamp.” Like MAGA itself, it’s a slogan Trump has lifted from Ronald Reagan, who promised to “drain the swamp of overtaxation, overregulation, and runaway inflation” back in 1982. When Trump uses it, he’s trying to paint a simple, compelling picture: Washington is a morass of corruption, warmongering, and dysfunction, and he’s the bold outsider who’s going to come in and pull the plug.

This is exactly half true. Politics in Washington really are profoundly corrupt, and Trump is essentially correct when he says that establishment figures like and Liz Cheney are warmongers who should never be allowed near power, or that seem shady. The “swamp” is a real thing, and Americans know it, which goes a long way toward explaining Trump’s electoral success. But the idea that Donald Trump is some kind of anti-establishment crusader is ridiculous. Yes, he’ll point out the rot in D.C. when it’s convenient for him. But he has no intention of actually making anything better—and you can tell by the way he’s staffing his own administration right now.

By this point, we know who the majority of the top figures in Trump’s White House will be, and they’re all horrible. In fact, it seems almost like Trump is deliberately choosing the to fill each role. His appointees are not only blatantly unqualified for the jobs he’s giving them, but in many cases they actively oppose the mission of the agencies they’re supposed to run, or they’re openly planning to privatize the functions of government and sell them off. His Cabinet picks are not advocates for ordinary Americans; they’re corporate oligarchs, Christian extremists, miracle-cure peddlers, and miscellaneous crooks and cronies of all stripes. Go down the roster, and you can’t help but come away horrified. As Shakespeare said in The Tempest: Hell is empty, and all the devils are here.

1. red don is acting out against the entire nation. He wants to destroy it.

"Everything Trump Touches Dies."

Everyone from Kamala to his former Generals, Nobel Laureate economists, and even the frickin' Cheneys tried to warn the nation, but no...enough 'Muricans fell for the con, again.

2. Great Article

The only religious theme is that idiots hide behind religion to force others to serve them.

And all of those idiots are infesting U.S. government as we speak.

Resist.
