The Trump Presidency, Part Deux

Does he get to absolve himself of future wrongdoing this way?
 
Tulsi Gabbard for ODNI? What next? My Pillow guy for Surgeon General?
 
I would like to see Giuliani somehow worked back into the mix. The mental gymnastics needed to justify that would be nice to see.

The common denominator with most of these appointments seems to be a salary from “legacy media” Fox News, so he might be in the running.

Donald Trump’s shake-up of EV rules would be ‘huge positive’ for Tesla​


Donald Trump’s criticism of electric vehicles looks likely to lead to the end of government subsidies for consumers who buy them, boosting Elon Musk’s Tesla by hitting its rivals with greater losses.The president-elect has said EVs would spell “complete obliteration” for the US car industry, even as adoption for the vehicles has climbed in other parts of the world, particularly China. Trump said in July when he accepted the Republican nomination that he would “end the electric vehicle ‘mandate’ on day one”, referencing proposed emissions rules that President Joe Biden’s administration had eased four months earlier.While Tesla is making money from its EVs, rivals’ losses on them have been narrowed by consumer tax credits worth up to $7,500 under Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.“A Trump presidency would be an overall negative for the EV industry,” said Wedbush analyst Dan Ives. “However, for Tesla, we see this as a huge positive.”

I’d been hoping to get a Rivian or Volvo EV (possibly even the Ford Mustang), but maybe now I’ll end up in a Tesla with one of these:

I wouldn't worry too much. Half these people won't make it past mid terms either because the incoming President is temperamental or they are incompetent and will shoot themselves in the foot. You saw that happen in the first administration and that was when there were a few competent proven people in the cabinet. Look at how many press secretaries he went through.

Justice Dept. employees stunned at Trump's 'insane,' 'unbelievable' choice of Matt Gaetz for attorney general

The president-elect selected Gaetz, who has repeatedly spread falsehoods about the Jan. 6 Capitol attack and was previously investigated by the Justice Department, to run DOJ.
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com

"'And look, he is uniquely qualified,' that Justice Department official said, snarkily. 'How many other prospective attorneys general had previous experience as the subject of a criminal investigation?'"

Wouldn't you want the guy doing your hair transplant to have been bald at one point?

That’s if they make it past senate confirmation.

Where I live he would have issues going into hospitals. They still ask for vaccination status on job applications.

Marianne Williamson and the Colorado Governor said they support his policies except his stance on vaccines.

SecDef pick has some dodgy far right, Christian nationalist tattoos often associated with neonazis:
 
I was talking with a colleague this morning and we agreed that it’s not hyperbole to say that this election might go down in history as the behind of the end for the United States. That could be a very rapid decline with Trump doing all he can to destroy the country, or a long and gradual demise over a generation.

From there we talked about the backswing of the pendulum- after the chaos and hardships of the next four years, what will come next. I suspect that extremism begets extremist responses. I see a Latin American style swing between poles. Fascists or communists. My work friend draws on America’s inherent conservatism to say that if we survive the madness, people will want to return the the stability of a boring old conservative Eisenhower style administration.
 
As the father of a girl, this really hits home. And that’s not even thinking about their sick obsession with controlling women’s bodies, reproductive rights and liberty.

“Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes onto that airplane is like just poison. You have a choice between—you don’t have the choice, you’re either given KFC or Big Macs. That’s when you’re lucky and then the rest of the stuff I consider kind of inedible.”

All we need are some political enemies in the octagon and we have ourselves a modern day rendition of Roman gladitorial games. Bread and circuses for all.
 
To be honest I think the end result is the same. It's just a matter of how antagonistic the relationship will be based on the characters. I struggle to find any US politician who would be sympathetic to China.

The current administration didn't have to slap tariffs on Chinese EVs. Are there Chinese EVs in North America? President Biden said he would defend Taiwan multiple times. The former House speaker deliberately visited the island. The only positive was re-establishing the military hotline between Austin and his counterpart. You would call that bare minimum political relations. Even the US and Soviet Union had that going. And the talks between Austin, Blinken, Yellen, Kerry and their Chinese counterparts really only started going in person after a 100 year old Kissinger's visit.

On the flip side, the other President is unpredictable. He is no longer villianizing TikTok. Last term he wanted it sold to Walmart and Oracle. For whatever reason he rescued ZTE but started the whole Huawei thing.

People no longer believe the fascism, racism, Hitler, homophobe, xenophobe and all the other buzzwords used by the fake news media because they have been overused and are no longer very effective.

That is a bad thing though. Unlike other slurs (n*, gay, etc.) fascists and racists are actually bad. But the fake news have turned those into a compliment, so being called a fascist now is a good thing. That's stupid.

If they were rapists they would be charged and evidence would be submitted, and if any evidence existed the swamp would have them both jailed because they hate their guts. But no evidence has ever been submitted because they have no proof of anything.

Trump is part of the ruling elite. He is the establishment. He is the swamp. Those people are rarely held accountable for their actions, as he admitted in the Access Hollywood tape.

There is a LOT of evidence around the many women he is accused of raping. He was found liable in a courtroom for sexual abuse. We will see if the House releases the evidence on Gaetz.

Hilarious, right?

“Oz is a trained clinician and scientist, someone who can read a scientific article with a critical eye. He is someone who can filter out the noise of the placebo effect or discern the simple carnival tricks of a charlatan. The problem is that most people in his audience cannot.”
