Minutemen – Joe McCarthy’s Ghost
Welp, the cabinet appointments are rolling out and it is just one jaw-droppingly bad pick after another. We thought it was appalling last time but now? A friend shared a post that said, “at some point he’s going to start nominating inanimate objects and fictional characters.” I replied that we’d be better off if he nominated Clint Eastwood’s empty chair for Secretary of Defense. Instead we get a Fox News personality who hasn’t washed his hands for ten years because he doesn’t believe in germs since he can’t see them.
Then there’s the Russian asset in charge of intelligence, the pedophile for attorney general, the toady hawk for the UN, the evangelist as the ambassador to Israel. I haven’t heard yet if RFK Jr ended up getting the gig for public health destroyer but a guy with a brain eating worm who sounds like he gargles battery acid is going to fit in perfectly with this crowd.
The only qualification needed for these jobs was complete loyalty to president pompadour. If the media would like to begin salvaging their reputations they could start by planting little seeds of infidelity in the ranks. Talk about how Elon is really in charge and Donny is just his useful idiot. All you have to do is prime the pump and stand back.
Back in March 2018, the New Yorker ran this cartoon that has really stood the test of time.

My only hope with this clown car of an administration is that the infighting and back stabbing will mean we rid ourselves of some of the worst people in government when they inevitably get canned. Trump loves nothing more than firing people.
I don’t foresee the extreme turnover we saw eight years ago when he was pressured to include some traditional R’s and long time political leaders ( like actual generals! ). Lots of these quit in horror or got fired for subversion. He will have less reason to fire these shiny toads. There will be enough firing of the rank and file govt holding our country together.
