They thought they could last time. How did that work out?

Rightly so. But it's a bit difficult when the people in charge are so stupid they think the military works like Rambo or in cartoons.

I was going to ask what you think about RFK Jr anywhere near health, but it hadn't been confirmed when I posted earlier.
 
On the subject of Trump's picks, over on Scrutable, "Grumble" said

"It’s a Klown Kar Kabinet"

Which works on two levels
 
At least one US senator, Republican Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, is already waffling on Matt Gaetz as US Attorney General, saying he "completely trusts" trump's judgement..

Last year, Oklahoma senator Markwayne Mullin called out Matt Gaetz for allegedly bragging about taking erectile dysfunction meds and drinking energy drinks so he could “go all night” with underage girls, but following Donald Trump’s Wednesday announcement that he is tapping Gaetz to be his new attorney general, Mullin has walked back his critiques. Mullin told CNN host Jake Tapper that he still has “a lot of questions” about Gaetz, but that he “completely trusts Trump’s decision-making on this one.” The Wrap article link

RFK Jr. as head of US Health and Human Services is picking up GOP support as well. US Senator Bill Cassidy, Republican from Louisiana, is "looking forward" to learning more about Kennedy's support for a "conservative, pro-American agenda."

“RFK Jr. has championed issues like healthy foods and the need for greater transparency in our public health infrastructure,” said Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), a physician and the incoming chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. “I look forward to learning more about his other policy positions and how they will support a conservative, pro-American agenda.” Politico article link

The son of the late Robert F. Kennedy supporting a "conservative, pro-American agenda?" We're though the looking glass on this one.

You should by now. The topic here is choices worse than the ones Mr. Trump has made. Of course one presumes that the choices here are jocular, but serious enough that the assumption is that Mr Trump's choices are superior. Though I notice even he has not come up yet with alternate choices for Health and Human Services or Attorney General. Perhaps even he might have difficulty outdoing his fearless leader, though he thinks there are worse candidates for Secretary of State than Marco Rubio, a matter of judgment open to interpretation.

but how were ahny of those options "funny"? Some of them were completely out of left field. And Harris was already VP and filled the role well enough. And a vocal supproter of unions and labor protections would likely make a good Secretary of Labor.

I get he wans't being serious. Right-wingers really shouldn't be taken seriously.

I just don't see the joke.

It's false equivalency pretending that Trump is within the boundaries of normality and his picks are not (to use Grumble's phrase on Scrutable) a Klown Kar Kabinet, but just politics as usual and it's perfectly reasonable for an honest conservative to think Trump's picks are better than reasonable liberal ones. Which is why I chose RFK Jr for health, because that is very difficult to defend and claim if one also holds that vaccination is vital for public health.

Vaccination is so 20th century. I'm sure that in a few weeks, all Republicans will publicly proclaim that vaccinations are dangerous and that there's no evidence of them working regardless of their current position. Republicans who are willing to state, unequivocally, in public that the 2020 Presidential election wasn't stolen from Trump are now very thin on the ground.

You know I am convinced some people here are \ gloating over what is happening in the USA.
Not so much what they say, but the tone of the posts.

People are regarding it with the same horrified fascination they would any imminent disaster from which they are once removed.
 
Hard to top Kenney

I served five years in the US Army, and I assure you the Army does no think that way. I fact, in infantry traiing ib basic, they had a huge photo of Rambo with a circle with a diagonal line across it imposed, and were constanly told if we tried to behave like Rambo incombat, we would get killed.
Where you get crap like that statement?
 
If I lived in Canada I'd be thinking the same thing.

In fact, if it wasn't for those winters...

You think the fallout is not going to blow over into Canada
And your hatred and contempt for AMerica is clear.

The fallout is going to blow over the whole world, and it is the consequence of the choice the USA has just made. Hence some dissatisfaction * , some consternation, and a small measure of contempt too.

* hatred is much, much too strong a word for what most people think of America. The prevailing mode here in France is "mais c'est pas vrai! Ces andouilles ont remis ça pour 4 ans !?!?!?"
