Don’t bother–they’re here.
I can’t figure out whether Trump has just discovered a new way to own the libs, or if his plan to defeat the “deep state” revolves around hiring obviously incompetent people to run it. Kristi Noem at Homeland Security was bad. The Fox talking head at DOD is probably worse. Tulsi Gabbard at National Intelligence is ridiculous. But Matt Gaetz as the AG is at a whole different plane here. When I read it, I laughed out loud.
Gaetz is despised by most of his colleagues. Will the Senate actually confirm him? Is the GOP’s loyalty to Trump so strong that he can force Gaetz down their throats? I have my doubts.
In a way, picking him is reassuring to me, because I can’t imagine Gaetz playing much of a part in the creation of a fascist state. He just isn’t serious enough to pull it off.
