    When I read these things I still doubt to myself they can come up with enough loyalists *that do have qualifications for the job. *.

    See, the main thing about this subject is that likely are a bunch of election deniers and bottom of the barrel cultists who, by definition are easily influenced by the discourse of the agent orange and NOT the best and brightest employees.

    So the risk is double, absolute gridlock on a slow system, enhanced by having as goals only the talking point of the 2025 agenda.

    Hell I’m still waiting for the economic plan that will fix removing 3.5% of the GDP deporting inmigrants but somehow we will end above of where we are.

      The only qualification for the job they need to have is loyalty. Everything else is irrelevant to Trump and the GOP at this point.

      Last time he tried having competent and experienced people in positions of power and they told him no on certain things.

      They WANT the govt. to be broken so they have an excuse to go full christofascist dictator.

      You do not have to be dumb to be evil. I’m not American but I follow the news and you people (and indirectly we all) seem to have a really big problem.

      Oh, no, 100% they will not have the qualifications and will be given the job anyway. Donald’s entire cabinet was comically anti-qualified, it will be like that. Imagine Proud Boys and other Brownshirts running investigations.
