I saw this on Twitter and I honesty assumed people were making a joke.

I really, really thought people were joking.

This is....I'm speechless.

[orange jar]

1. Every time you think "it couldn't get any worse"

Trump says "hold my covfefe."

[Initech]

23. It's like they try to find the worst possible people they can just to piss us off.

[B.See]

36. that's what he did last time...

deliberately appointed incompetents and lackeys.

[D. Spaulding]

2. What we're seeing

is that Bannon's influence is still very strong with Trump

[Initech]

24. And Fox, Newsmax, OAN, every AM radio host, every megachurch pastor, every law enforcement agency.

The Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society, America is going to be run by the worst people you know. I wonder how long it's going to take to break us? I say a week.

[Easterncedar]

3. That is the first actual laugh Ive had in 12 days

It’s beyond absurd. It’s dada.

[ET Awful]

4. I guess Aileen Cannon didn't quite get the favors she thought she would. . .

Trump is already screwing over the people he owes favors to.

And that's without considering what a shitshow Gaetz is.

[woodsprite]

9. She'll probably be his first Supreme Court appointment.

After all, AG is for a short time (hopefully). Supreme Court is for a lifetime.

[japple]

37. Isn't Lindsey Graham available? Or Bill Barr?

[FSogol]

5. Gaetz will use the full force of the US DOJ to go after all the kids in grade school who called him basket-head!

or ?

[Tesha]

6. What experience? Seriously, he's just a tool for revenge

He’s really an awful human, For instance?

In 2018 he brought a right-wing activist who had questioned whether six million Jews actually died in the Holocaust to the State of the Union address.

[peregrinus]

18. Who was that?

[underpants]

29. Charles C. Johnson. I don't know of him.

[Amaryllis]

7. Saw what on Twitter? Would you mind saying what lyou are talkig about? i never perfected mind reading.

[Tommy Carcetti]

11. Trump tapped Matt Gaetz to be Attorney General.

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/13/trump-taps-rep-matt-gaetz-as-attorney-general.html

He will be confirmed because Trump will pull a recess appointment here.

Our country is done for.

[kelly1mm]

32. A recess appointment, technically, is not confirmed. He could only serve till 2027 as a recess appointee. nt

[Tommy Carcetti]

33. 2027. Lol

Phew. He can only serve 2 years.

Good to know.

[snowybirdie]

8. Guess orangeman

Needed a,new pimp. Enter Matt Gaetz

[yaesu]

10. well, at least he has a little experience with the JD

as in having been investigated by the JD: In 2020, Matt Gaetz was accused of sex trafficking and having sexual relationships with minors.

[JCMach1]

16. You forgot the heavy alleged drug use...

Literally,.WTH

[GreenWave]

12. MG to MG

Merrick Garland to Matt Gaetz, potential J6 criminal.

[Septua]

13. Trump's putting the "family" together.

[Wingus Dingus]

14. LOL, Fivehead as AG.

This country is a fucking joke, might as well laugh.

[jalan48]

15. He's the, "I'll go after our enemies " pick.

[WarGamer]

17. Juat yesterday, I said it's the equivalent of Caligula appointing his favorite horse to be Senator.

And I don't even like comparing modern events to history.

[Jarqui]

30. Except maybe you're insulting the horse ... nt

[Septua]

19. If it's any consolation...

..the pundits on Nicolle's show are doubting the Senate will confirm Gaetz or Hegseth.

[Septua]

20. Then again...

..they didn't think SCOTUS would give Trump absolute immunity, either.

[struggle4progress]

21. "America needs an AG who is sensitive to traffickers and pedophiles! So Epstein's old pal Trump is nominating Gaetz!"

[tetedur]

22. You mean he passed over Rudy Giuliani?

[Jarqui]

31. Maybe he's saving Solicitor General for Rudy (for all those he hit on ..) ..

Who needs a license to practice law?

[bluesbassman]

25. So Beavis is gonna be AG. Check. Where's the sick f**k gonna put Butt Head?

Gym Jordan would make a lovely Secretary of the Treasury I would think.

[bif]

26. DUPE!!!!!!

This has been posted a bunch of times already!

[duncang]

27. I'm waiting for his announcement

That Boebert will be over the DOE and mtg over the space force. Has he picked anyone for DOE yet?

[Ocelot II]

28. The enshittification of the federal government continues.

It's really hard to laugh and puke at the same time.

[Picaro]

34. Couldn't pick a less serious person

Trump doesn’t even want to try to govern.

[malthaussen]

35. I guess that means Eileen Cannon is our next Supreme Court Justice. n/t
