The thing about Turnip is he pretty much never figures out that it’s more complicated than he originally thought, because he never learns enough about the thing to make that realization. (Health care excepted, though he still doesn’t seem to grasp that it’s yet more complicated than he knows.)

He assuredly thinks he does.

No, but he’s stiffed contractors installing drywall, so he probably thinks it’s the most complex activity he’s ever seen…

RFK said the solution to lack of rural hospitals was AI nurses like they have at the Cleveland Clinic.
Cleveland Clinic said huh? We don’t have AI nurses.

About the Vice President (President of the Senate)
Elmer Thomas (D-OK) Taking the Oath of Office, January 4, 1939
The Constitution names the vice president of the United States as the president of the Senate. In addition to serving as presiding officer, the vice president has the sole power to break a tie vote in the Senate and formally presides over the receiving and counting of electoral ballots cast in presidential elections.
Today vice presidents serve as principal advisors to the president, but from 1789 until the 1950s their primary duty was to preside over the Senate. Since the 1830s, vice presidents have occupied offices near the Senate Chamber. Over the course of the nation’s history, the vice president’s influence evolved as vice presidents and senators experimented with, and at times vigorously debated, the role to be played by this constitutional officer.

This may have been mentioned recently somewhere around here. If so, I apologize for being redundant, but I just remembered where I remember the new Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, from. He was on the Real World on MTV back in the 90s. So was his wife. They got their start on the fucking Real World. Jesus Christ, we are so screwed.

Donald Trump jokingly asked a reporter if he should swim to visit the Washington DC plane crash site.
The president was asked if he had any plans to visit the site of the American Airlines and military helicopter collision, as rescue workers scoured the Potomac River.
He replied: “I have a plan to visit, not the site. Because what, you tell me. What’s the site? Water. We’re going to go swimming?”

He was on Road Rules, too, which makes him more qualified for his position in Transportation than the average Trump nominee.

One can only hope some of these bastards wind up in a private jet disaster once they decide the “market” should decide flight patterns and landing and takeoff priorities.

His press secretary.
“When you are flying on an airplane with your loved ones, which every one of us in this room has, do you pray that your plane lands safely and gets you to your destination, or do you pray that the pilot has a certain skin color?” Leavitt told reporters in the White House briefing room. “I think we all know the answer to that question, and as President Trump said yesterday, it’s common sense.”

Somehow common sense is that you don’t care about their skin color and so want them to be white.
