    So far these alleged cabinet picks are so fucking ridiculously unqualified that it's looking less like an actual cabinet and more like a casting call for "The Celebrity Apprentice 2025"

    The Bone spur warrior?

    For those that know their history there is a smell of Stalin about this - he got rid of all his capable generals too weakening his army a lot pre WW2.

    I hear Trump is trying to put a Fox TV guy in charge of the 800 billion dollar Department of Defence...

    Thank you MAGAt fucks. We are starting to see the slippery slope, Trump’s path to authoritarianism / dictatorship.
    1. Recess appointments for his executive-branch appointees (cabinet appointments). Trump’s plan to circumvent the established process for checks and balances. Cabinet members are nominated by the president and must be approved by the Senate.
    2. An executive order draft is floating around MAGA world that would establish a Trump-appointed “warrior board” with the power to purge any three- or four-star generals as it sees fit.

    Thankfully I have the means to get out of this shit show on a moment’s notice if the time comes.

    They ran that fucking ad multiple times during every football game on the air in October. Probably ran it elsewhere too, but football is pretty much the only time I subject myself to commercials anymore. And if I can catch a football game on a bootleg Canadian stream - avoiding both political and big pharma ads - even better.

    First time I saw the ad I thought it was a bad SNL skit. Can't imagine what sort of moron could take it seriously, but apparently they did.

    Crazy money but judging by a lot of this thread it worked. I was wondering why you were all riled up about something that didn't matter.

    I have to agree with you. Maybe not Kristy or NickD... They get cranky too easy...

    There are many aspects of Trump's leadership style, personality, and decisions he's made that I don't care for at all.

    For me... the choice was purely policy based between the two candidates. Neither of which impress me as human beings...

    I wouldn't want the job.

    "If nominated I will not run, if elected I will not serve"

Harris was such an incompetent leader that she had no answer or even prepared for such an obvious and simple question.

    I'm leaning toward the later...

    This is going to be fucking great.

    I hope you MAGAs receive all you wished for.

    Oh, I really do.
