Wouldn’t It Be Funny If…
I have to admit, the appointment announcements that we have heard about recently make absolutely no sense at all, which is not surprising in the least. It’s sort of like last time, but this time, it looks like someone is playing a parlor game.
I mean, really. Why did Don the Con appoint former Texas governor Rick Perry to head up the Department of Energy at the beginning of his previous term of office? His expertise? Hardly. His degree was in Animal Science, and his expertise before politics was driving Air Force cargo planes.
So why was he tapped by Bronzer Boy to be his Secretary of Energy? In the end, the only thing I could come up with at the time was that it resulted from an on-stage, on-camera primary debate faux pas when he forgot which executive branch departments he would eliminate as president. He forgot that one of his target departments was the Department of Energy. Remember his “Oops” moment?
So what could be funnier than appointing Rick Perry to the department that he forgot he wanted to eliminate?
Making appointments to critical government positions has apparently become a parlor game at Mar-A-Lago these days. The game apparently begins with the question, “Wouldn’t It be funny if…” And the winner is the one that comes up the most uproariously funny answer. And then it’s funnier still when Donald does the deed.
Or so it seems to me.
For example. Wouldn’t it be funny if child sexual trafficking Matt Gaetz was appointed Attorney General? Oh man, the Libs are gonna scream bloody murder. What an opportunity to collect some Liberal tears.
Wouldn’t It be funny if Libertarian and Pro-Putin propagandist Tulsi Gabbard was appointed Director of National Intelligence? That would be a knee slapper! They’re gonna think she’s passing information to Vlad!
Wouldn’t It be funny if Pete Hegseth, a clownish Fox News Weekend anchor, got appointed Secretary of Defense? Sean Hannity will be livid!
Wouldn’t It be funny if Christy Noem was appointed Secretary of Homeland Security? Undocumented migrants won’t know who she is, but disobedient puppies will all run for cover.
Parlor games. It has to be something like that, or it doesn’t make any sense. If this keeps up, Andy Borowitz’s comment that “we’re gonna need a bigger clown car” is more truth and less funny.
The corporate greedy media will certainly report how presidential trumpf’s cabinet picks are.
1Let us not forget putting Herschel Walker in charge of a new missile defense shield for the US. I feel safer already.
2I suspect all this Krazy Klown Krap is just a smokescreen for what is really going on. Project 2025 has published a list of Civil Servants and Federal Agency executives they are going to purge and replace. So while Trump makes laughably grotesque appointments to head the Agencies, the Heritage Society is planning to sweep through those Agencies in Jan 2025, and destroy them.

3Katherine @3 Agree. These “appointees” are camouflage, window dressing, for the real powers; ie, 1%ers, quiet WH insiders, and putin. These people are prep’d to carry on even while trump is still alive since IMO once his admin is in office, trump’s usefulness becomes diminished. gaetz and like intelligent ones are the true duplicitous ones to be on guard against.
4These appointments feel like an insane game of Mad Libs. I wish I didn’t agree with Katherine Williams, above, that it’s all a smoke screen for the Heritage Society’s efforts to destroy our government.
5I suspect they are unknowingly perhaps, pulling a Sampson-at-the-temple stunt, working hard to just tear down the US Government, Civil Service* and all. Not realizing, as Sampson did, that the temple will fall on their pointy, religious heads, too, and God won’t help them.
One of the reasons for the endurance and stability of the Chinese Empire, as well as Egypt and Rome, is the stability and size of their Civil Service. Putin/Leonard Leo are going to wreck that as well as the three branches. But what wil take its place when the dollar crashes? Musk’s crypto? Sheesh.
6Actually , given the actual IQ’s of all of this bunch so far, I am betting they don’t last long in their offices.Stuff, like evidence, will sudden bloom about various and truly weird and definitely overlooked behavior that won’t do any of them any good. They will whine and whimper about “fake” “deep state” malice and eventually just quit, tails between their legs. and retire into a hole somewhere. And frankly, that can’t happen soon enough! And it will show tRump as the cognatively damaged grifter he has been for decades. That will really rattle his cage!
7A MAGA hat sitting down the bar from me at lunch today proclaimed that all the idiots that Duduhead is floating as trial balloons are supposed to be shot down in flames so when he presents his real slate with real credibility they will sail through the Senate. Can’t argue his point, didn’t try.
8And RFK jr officially named to be TNFG’s HHS secretary. Is this a new episode of the Twilight Zone? TNFG is obviously doing everything he can to rile Democrats and rub our noses in his sh.t. Magats are loving this.
9Wouldn’t It be funny if RFK, Jr. was Secretary of HHS and another once-in-a-century pandemic developed? Hilarious!
10Like every childhood disease. Not funny but could happen. They’re already on the increase because of the anti vaxxers.
11Half Empty @10, Bird Flu, H5N1 strain, is already lurking in the bushes.
It’s an extremely virulent virus, capable of killing millions of people once it mutates just a bit more and fully adapts to humans..
