      Yea… This is just Jon Steward level snark that makes us chuckle and feel like we’re doing something, when in reality we’re doing jack shit.

      Democrats need to be organizing and running from the local level up and let go of these clever quips. They do nothing except placate people.

      I honestly believe Jon coming back did more harm than good. He’s giving leftist an outlet so they don’t actually do anything with their anger.

      All these comedians are just letting us vent our energy, meaning it’s not used to organise and run for something.

      You can’t tell people the country is going under, while also cracking jokes.

    This looks like one of those superhero movies where they ran out of ideas so they just throw in every villain they can think of.

    Also it was very common in 90s beatem-ups, where the last stage was just wave after wave of the previous bosses.

      Trump is literally filling his cabinet with people he things will “trigger the libs”. It’s honestly quite beautiful watching him set himself of for complete and utter failure. This was always the state of right-wing politics, now the brainrot has full control over the Government.

      Like last time, I think the only campaign promise he’ll be able to keep will be cutting taxes for the rich. Outside of that, this admin is going to be a complete chaotic disaster.

        So, by that logic, we can probably expect Ted Cruz to be the next guy in Grover 2.0’s cabinet.

          It doesn’t seem like it’s someone competent. These aren’t even good at being bad, they’re just bad.

            I think that’s the point, either switch to the person you really wanted when these get shot down or put them in and really wreck everything.

        What are the odds he appoints enough reps and/or senators that they end up the minority in at least one half of Congress?

    This is absolutely the wrong person for the job (if you’re Trump). This is basically good news.

    Gaetz has literally no demonstrable experience as an attorney that would help him in this role. He got his license to practice law in 2008 and has periodically worked at Keefe Anchors & Gordon where he only practiced real estate, employment, property insurance, and contract law and later lost his law license because he forgot to pay his dues (while in office, where having that kind of credential could be valuable). KAG (now AnchorsGordon) appears to mostly have employed him as a political tool, not as a legitimate attorney that represented their clients directly. There are few if any legal documents with his name on them, so he very likely did very little actual legal work during his employment there.

    Since then over 400 alumni of his Alma Mater have described him as “unfit to write or determine the law”.

    This is a position you want a competent and experienced attorney serving your administration. Gaetz may be a yes-man for Trump, but this is a massive strategic mistake for him and his goals. Trump’s proposals so far are absolutely guaranteed to be challenged by the courts if he moves on them, and Gaetz is going to be literally the worst possible representative you could choose to try to defend your admin in that scenario.

      Here’s a fun theory. He wants Gaetz to oversee as many possible federal criminal cases against Trump as possible. His job would be to bring everything to court and throw the cases. Hello double jeopardy.

      Based on the fact that Trump has relatively little interest in any “platform” he has announced and it’s mostly about every trick possible to advance his personal situation. He doesn’t want competence, he wants people that will do whatever he says no matter what hand the intelligence into Putin’s hands, make the military Trump loyalists, quash any future legal troubles from the FBI/DoJ.

      While I’m sure he’s willing to let people have a go at enacting his campaign rhetoric, in any way that conflicts with a system that might hold Trump accountable, that rhetoric can be compromised.

      You seem to think that the incoming administration will be following established laws, regulations, procedures, etc.

      They will not.

      You’re overlooking the fact that DOJ lawyers, provided by the Herritage Foundation and FedSoc will be arguing those cases. Gaetz just needs to do what he’s told.

      Gaetz is the chess-playing pigeon that knocks over the pieces and shits on the board.

      Harris did better than Biden in the key swing states. Be mad at the people who turned out for Trump.

      Those of you downvoting me, look at the vote totals for swing states in 2020 vs 2024. It is insane to me that “be mad at the people who voted for Trump” is a hot take.

        Look at the number of eligible voters that didn’t vote. Their point is 100% valid, just like it has been for pretty much every election. This time is just extra inexcusable because of what we’ve collectively lost.

          I mean, yes they do? If Harris had won those swing states, she’d have won the EC. And her turnout was higher than Biden’s. It’s just that Trump’s was even higher.

    a competent individual with extensive litigation experience in constitutional law would be the ideal choice here, seeing as this administration is about to face more lawsuits than any in history… but no, donvict chooses another moronic ‘yes man’
