Some are disingenuous, Susan Collin style.
Others are genuine, utter dipshits.

Chainweasel @lemmy.world We'll see how baffled they really are after they unanimously approve him.
66 0 Replyramenshaman @lemmy.world This is not as surprising to me as him picking a Fox News host to be the secretary of defense.

Neither is too surprising to me, but the TV star less so. A TV host picking another TV host to be in his cabinet was what I was expecting in 2016.

He definitely wanted to, but there were still people around to tell him "no" back then. Not any more.

Cyborganism @lemmy.ca Man, the US is going to be such a fucking clown show for the next 4 years. Holy shit.
41 0 Replyteamevil @lemmy.world If we're lucky, unfortunately this clown car was just purposely driven off a cliff willingly, because the rich have an insurance policy worth more than the idiot clowns they convinced to drive off the cliff.... problem is we're going to get totaled in the clown car, all of us reading this.

Don't worry, the rich people aren't in the car and will be safely flying overhead while we crash and burn.

bstix @feddit.dk It gives me flashbacks to his first term, many mooches ago.
He's going to play the Apprentice role again, in which he tries to increase tv ratings by randomly hiring and firing as many people as possible in every episode.

Bold of you to assume there will be free and fair elections in four years.
6 1 ReplyRagingSnarkasm @lemmy.world You think they’ll stop at four years? I wish I had your optimism, friend.
4 0 ReplyGoodmorningsunshine @lemmy.world 4 years? Good God, that is an incorrect timeline.
4 1 Replyrandon31415 @lemmy.world Depends on how long Big Mac Don lives. Republicans first got elected when the democratic party split into 3 different branches with 3 different presidential candidates. I could see something like that happening in the near future with the republicans.
