I had barely time to recover from Gaetz as Attorney General before hearing Tulsi Gabbard as Dir. of Nat'l Intelligence.

1. "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." - Obi Wan Kenobi

Fuck this fucking administration. To the hottest of hells.

[prodigitalson]

2. At least this wont be a slow, drawn out descent into chaos

More of a cannonball from the high dive.

3. Russian spy

16. Obi Wan summed it up best:

5. Don't forget Pete Hegseth as the Defense Secretary.

6. It's time for the Revenge of the Adults

We can all admit that there are powers behind the scenes in DOD and DOJ that can step in and do something ... and as Ving Rhames said in Pulp Fiction, “we’re really fucking far from OK”. Time for adult supervision.

7. Since "we all can admit there are powers behind the scenes" that "can step in and do something"

Maybe you can share with us a few examples of who those powers behind the scenes are and what, specifically, are the things you think they can do.

13. I'm thinking mostly of the military

I would hope there are leaders in our Armed Forces who have loved and sacrificed enough for this country who could step in before we turn the nuclear codes over to this clown car. Call me naive but I’ve always felt there were institutionalists (maligned as the Deep State) who would prevent such a surrender to the lunatics. Call it the swamp, the Illuminati, whatever — I’ll take them over MAGA at this point.

18. So your suggestion is a military coup?

8. Tusi is on the terrorist watch list. This is Putin's pick

You cannot make this crap up. There is a reason why trump is demanding recess appointments. The hearing on Gabbard's confirmation would be fun. Putin had a role in this nomination

10. "pro-Russian, pro-Putin.."

Didn't he forget "pro Assad"?

[Irish_Dem]

11. Pure genius for Putin to install a Russian asset as head of US intelligence.

All the other RU assets can take a nice vacation and drink vodka.

[The Blue Flower]

9. These picks show just how unserious it is

Gaetz, for G-d's sake. The incompetence is going to overwhelm this administration in very little time.

[Irish_Dem]

12. I think it also showing us that people are paying cash for the jobs.

That has to be part of it.

Trump is not giving these jobs away for free.

14. I was counting on Beobert for National Intellgence. nt

[talking-liberally]

15. oxi... moron

[Tommy Carcetti]

17. I heard about Gabbard first.

And as terrible as she was, at least I was expecting it. Rumors had long been swirling she'd be in Trump's cabinet somehow.

But Matt Gaetz was totally out of left field. I didn't expect or see it coming. Nor did I even believe it when I first heard it.

19. I'm stunned into utter silence. I feel like we're entering the Twilight Zone! nt
