You’d think by now people would learn there’s no nuance to this fucking guy. He says he will do something, and people say, “c’mon there’s no way he’d actually do that”, and then act all surprised when he does exactly what he said. It’s like nobody remembers what happened in the 84 year period between January 20, 2017 and January 20, 2021.

Yeah, seriously… It’s got to be willful ignorance at this point. The dumb shits.

“I inoculate myself. Germs are not a real thing. I can’t see them; therefore, they’re not real.”

First they dismissed the science of climate change, then vaccines, now germ theory. We’re probably weeks away from Republicans publicly denouncing the heliocentric model of the solar system.

There’s already been some saying the moon landing was faked, so I wouldn’t be surprised if any have already said heliocentric is wrong.

ETA:

Not too far away from denying heliocentricity

Yeah, I’m not sure if this is a case where they (quite quickly) reached the bottom of the barrel because anyone truly qualified would run, not walk, in another direction; or they just went straight to the bottom of the barrel, drilled thru the bottom and went all the way to the bottom of the barrel underneath that one.

“To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations,” Patrushev told the business daily Kommersant in response to a question about whether the outcome of the presidential election would bode well for Russia. “As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them.”

There’s your problem, assuming he’s responsible.

Wow, how has that worked for contractors and cities where he’s held rallies? What is Russian for “sucker?”

It takes a perv to catch a perv.

Srsly? Only 84 years? It felt like a millennium. :melting_face:

Gaetz already resigned effective immediately. Trump isn’t even sworn in for almost 2 months. Then the whole confirmation process has to work thru the Senate. Seems ridiculous but now the bipartisan ethics panel no longer has jurisdiction. I wish they’d release whatever they found out anyway

Prognostication: He’s setting himself up to flee to a country without an extradition treaty should his confirmation fail. :face_with_monocle:

It would be hilarious if he doesn’t get confirmed.

Unfortunately, those about to steer the ship of state have been planning a purge for a while now. The new head of DOGE wants to eliminate every agency he doesn’t understand, so I hope those civil servants have other career / income plans in mind. :grimacing:
