Whaaaaaat? The rapist also approves of rapists? The close to 80 year old man who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy also prefers the company of men who see women as objects to be grabbed? Why are we pretending to be shocked? He’s shit and he’ll be shit until he dies, hopefully McDonalds does its job sooner or later

I read that as “Trump defiles”

It's not like he has much choice. Sane, reasonable people aren't exactly raising their hands at this point and the only people clamoring for roles are batshit quasi-politicians who have similar contempt for any institution that has a basis formed in reality but wildly different agendas

Edit: dunno why you downvoted me. Honestly, who else do you think would take these positions? Pence? Kelly? Barr? Mattis? Haley? Christie? Tillerson? Milley? Bolton? Scaramucci? Cohen? DeVos? Chao? Grisham? ... Bueller? Dude's a fucking joke. Take the wooden spatula and start scraping that barrel out because there's absolutely nothing but sludge

Oh please "saner" people than dr fuckin oz are a possibility

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Saner than Oz and willing to work with Trump?

I find that hard to believe.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

And those saner people handed Trump Thune instead of Scott via blind vote. They know what's up. Like I said, sane people do not want to be in his administration. They want to babysit his administration. Nothing good comes from befriending that guy and everyone on Earth who doesn't believe in hurricane machines knows that, even GOP.

Practically the only people who are around Trump are riding his coattails for their own reasons and they have no qualms about it

They're obviously being picked for their deviceveness. Not really sure what the endgame is other than to spread fear, anger, and uncertainty. Some strategists is coming up with these picks for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It's a way for him to test people's loyalty. Anyone who doesn't vote to confirm his insane picks is going to be ousted by the rest of the party.

deviceveness

Deviousness? It's what autocorrect suggested the moment I started typing the word.

[–] ObsidianNebula 5 points 3 days ago

Based on the context, I think they meant "divisiveness", but "deviousness" probably also describes the nominations well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I I misspelled it, it should have been divisiveness, "a tendency to provoke dissension or discord"

deviousness, "The characteristic of being devious; sneakiness; underhandedness."

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago

Wait wait -

Trump thinks it’s “I was credibly accused of sexual assault! #MeToo”

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

Remember: a plurality of voters reinstated him, knowing fully that he has been found guilty of sexual assault in a civil case and that he openly wishes to fuck his own daughter. This is the guy who grabs women by the pussy. Why would he give a shit about women?

This abomination is brought to you by your compatriots.

So it took this guy 7 years to figure out that Trump is just as bad as all the other Hollywood rapists, and he has the audacity to present this to us as though that knowledge is breaking news in the year 2024?

And these people wonder why their industry is being replaced by podcasts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

? This is about his cabinet picks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

That venn diagram is quickly becoming a circle.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

Oh my god now way…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

I think he asked, 'Who do we have with a rape investigation? Let's go with them!" to demonstrate his misogyny to the cult.
