Little Marco Gets SecState Nod?
I don’t know what I was thinking. How can one not be able to string two sentences together after seeing the Presidementia-Elect trounce yet another over qualified presidential candidate? It is, after all, a target-rich environment.
Witness the delicious MAGA backlash at the news leaked yesterday that Captain Bonespurs has picked fellow Floridaman, Marco Rubio to be 4th in line to be president (after Ridgerunner JD, MAGA Mike (?), and whoever President Pro Tem of the Senate will be) should something awful happen to him.
Raw Story has gathered some amazingly predictable quotes from Don the Con’s bevy of butt munchers.
Laura “Looney” Loomer: “Why are people inside Mar-a-Lago leaking Trump’s possible cabinet picks to the media? Not a good sign that things are being leaked already.”
Libertarian “comedian” Dave Smith: “Might as well give Liz Cheney the State Department. Awful sign.”
Charlie Kirk: “Folks, word of wisdom. If Trump hasn’t confirmed it on Truth [Social], don’t jump to conclusions and don’t believe everything you see.”
That’s more than one word, Charlie.
Suddenly, the cockles of my heart are thawing as I observe that Von Shitzenpantz’s own MAGA elite are now doubting what they see and hear. It is literally the opposite of what we now call “sanewashing.” Nominating a person who is arguably a moderate conservative with experience in the area of foreign relations rather than another clueless candidate for the looney bin has got to stick in their craws.
I wonder what you call the opposite of “sanewashing.”
I have some advice for MAGA maniacs. A maxim that has served me in the past as far as Pumpkin McPornhumper goes: Pay no attention to what he says, watch what he does.
Opposite of Sanewashing=Religion
1Aren’t these MAGA complainers some of the regular guests on Fox News who railed against what they called DEI hires? Because the positions were filled by qualified women or minorities? Maybe now they can see what unqualified really looks like.
2mccturtlefartface’s sucksessor is none other than senator marlboro barbie thune of south duhkota. a magat who has gradually got on his knees in order to service drumpf.

4Apparently not Duduheads first choice.
5Attorney General Matt Gaetz, I swear to God!
6gaetz apparently likes them young, just like drumpf and epstein.
7tulsi gabbard chosen for director of national intel…er…ignorance.
8This zoo of clowns should have no problem mismanaging our country into the toilet, here and abroad. We are going to be a laughing stock, a dangerous laughing stock.
9Gaetz will of course kill all the investigations into his sexual predatory escapades of underage girls. How convenient of TNFG. Sexual predators stick together.
10TIL that Combover Crime Lord has picked Pete Hegseth of Faux News for Secretary of Defense. Pete has a square jaw, muscles, and with a name like Pete he must be a tough guy. Exactly what CCL wants at the Pentagon.
I also hear that Pete is going through a messy divorce right now after having an affair with a Faux News producer. Just another thing in CCL’s wheelhouse.
From January 20, 2025 to January 20, 2029 there are 208 weeks. That means the incoming CCL administration will generate at least 200 scandals. The worthless scribblers of the mainstream media will love it. The rest of us, not so much.
11Trump’s administration picks, he gets a pardon, she gets a pardon, everyone gets a pardon, if they do what’s expected of them.
12The krazy klown kabinet is just a facade, window dressing. Look behind them at who the Project 25 people will be cramming into the “lower” woking positions at these agencies. Look and weep.
13Ya think there’s anything fishy with the gaetzter and his nomination to be “our” AG?

What are the chances the sane plaining MSM will start connecting the dots on trumpf’s cabinet picks? Slim or none?
15How bad can it get?
Y’all are far too optimistic, it’s going to be worse than you could imagine.
Here’s a clue that I have not seen any media pick up on yet.
During a speech by Comrade Donnei a couple of days ago, before Congress iirc, he talked about his upcoming second term. Then, sort of chuckling and seeming to make a ‘joke’, he stated that ‘something’ would have to be done in order to continue his presidency…
In the mafia-like dialogue that the Mango Mussolini uses, this was a direct order to the Rethuglikkkans that they would be finding a workaround our current limits on presidential terms. Plain and simple, but few of those who aren’t among the Rethug faithful ever pick up on what they are usually actually saying.
.
This article covers a lot, it is worse than most Salon dwellers anticipate:
http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/11/13/2283325/-Progressive-Communities-Should-Organize-Now-to-Fight-Trump-s-Planned-Fascist-Takeover-of-America
“…
16Instead, come Inauguration Day 2025, all three branches of the federal government will be under fascist GOP control, and things are going to get very ugly, very quickly.”
…
“Progressive communities cannot rely on governmental or political institutions to save them from Trump’s fascism. They cannot rely on elections. They can, however, prepare now to take action themselves.”…
Word has it that Trump offered Gaetz the position of Undersecretary of Political Affairs. Gaetz was intrigued, but told Trump his preferred position is on top, so Trump gave him Attorney General.
What’s next -Sean Diddy Combs as Director of the Office on Violence Against Women? MTG as Director of National Intellegence? Boebert as Director of Whistleblower Protection, even though she is confused as to why one needs to use protection in this role.
17So tRump’s ‘joke’ about a third+ term got a bit of notice:
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/11/14/2286152/-Calm-Horizons-11-14-24-Trump-assembles-worst-Cabinet-in-history-preps-country-for-third-term
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4988568-trump-third-term-house-republicans/
” President-elect Trump floated the prospect of seeking a third term in an apparent joke to House Republicans on Wednesday as they met ahead of internal leadership elections.
“I suspect I won’t be running again, unless you do something,” Trump said, according to pool reports and audio shared with The Hill. “Unless you say, ‘He’s so good, we have to just figure it out.’”
The comment got laughs from the GOP lawmakers in the crowd — several of whom later told reporters that the comment was not serious.
…
Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas), sporting a Trump tie, dismissed a question about whether he would support Trump seeking a third term.
“Are you kidding me? Just stop it,” Nehls said.”
18Gaetz resigned from congress two days before results of latest investigation into sex with underage girl were to be released.
drumpf’s sister was a federal judge facing ethics charges, so she resigned and investigation was automatically dropped.
South Duhkota magat lege happy to be rid of Noem Nothing as she spent virtually no time in state dealing with state matters. She was always attendiing fund raisers and conferences and going to drumpf dump south to suck up to the king.
19For Juanita Jean and Mark Bankston…

Gotta luv it.
20The opposite of sanewashing? Exposure.
21Mike from Iowa- thanks for that good news! Now, the question is what cabinet post will he fill?
22Steve @21: How about Space Force Secretary?
