The thing is, Scaramucci had enough self-respect to care about whether he was doing a bad job, and enough self-awareness to realize that he was. With the new crop, the *purpose* is to do a bad job. They won't be leaving unless they are honest. Like that would happen.
Well here is some good news. Hats off to The Onion. “The Onion is proud to acquire Infowars, and we look forward to continuing its storied tradition of scaring the site’s users with lies until they fork over their cold, hard cash,” Onion CEO Ben Collins said in a statement."
And yet...they will be the ones running everything, with no visible "adults in the room" to provide guardrails. I don't think any seat belt will protect us [or our democracy] from the dangerous ride ahead.
It really is beginning. I was just asked by the Gene Pool to reauthenticate myself. And somehow I thought my existential angst was nobody’s business but my own.
Semiseriously, though, is Matt Gaetz the most ridiculous excuse for a loyalty test ever?
WTF is Joe Biden doing hosting Il Douche at the White House and promising a smooth transition?!?!? Il Douche's campaign has yet to sign the standard transition agreement. Joe should have refused to communicate with Il Douche until he and his campaign agreed to sign and [supposedly] abide by the transition contract.
Just as bad, Biden rolls over and does nothing to enforce the finding that Israel is not abiding by commonly accepted humanitarian practices in its war against Hamas and Hezbollah. The least Biden could have done was to cut off arms shipments for the last 6 weeks of his administration, before Il Douche comes to power and provides the IDF with as much ordnance as it can use.
I’m taking bets as to how many scaramuccis Peter Hegseth is going to last as SecDef.
As Jay Kuo wrote (paraphrasing), "Should we set out a head of lettuce?".

Scaramucci didn't quit, he was fired. Everyone gets fired eventually. I am hoping the replacements are not worse.
Should have focused on Gaetz. Zero scaramuccis for him.
Experience and competence are unknown terms in Trump world. Or more accurately, disqualifying terms.
We’ll know Trump has gone full 1984 when he nominates Lauren Boebert for Secretary of Education, or appoints Steven Cheung as Minister of Truth.
Now Putin can annex the US without a fight and Tucker Carson can finally get Russian supermarket prices here.
Your first 2 images did not load.
apparently. I am investigating the problem, which I am guessing is my fault. There is only one image, tho! I am irreparably confused.
It’s there now.

A pack of fools and tools. No redeeming features.

Naturally, I liked this post. But not The Post.

Who didn't see this coming?

I am worried. What can we do that is constructive?
