      Yea… This is just Jon Steward level snark that makes us chuckle and feel like we’re doing something, when in reality we’re doing jack shit.

      Democrats need to be organizing and running from the local level up and let go of these clever quips. They do nothing except placate people.

      I honestly believe Jon coming back did more harm than good. He’s giving leftist an outlet so they don’t actually do anything with their anger.

      All these comedians are just letting us vent our energy, meaning it’s not used to organise and run for something.

      You can’t tell people the country is going under, while also cracking jokes.

    Defense - Vladimir Putin

    Housing and Urban Development - it’s Trump, so probably Herschel Walker, ffs

    Let’s be real, he cleared the bar with this one.

    Don’t forget, the bar was set at Jeff Sessions, and it was even lowered to the doofus who ran the patent protection scam company.

    Look, he’s not going appoint anyone that isn’t awful. The most you can hope for, the best outcome, is favourable funny > evil mix.

    I’m comfortable saying that Matt Gaetz, on the grading curve necessary for Trump appointments, clears that bar. He’s has at worst a 51% funny to 49% evil ratio.

        Maybe you don’t remember Jeff Sessions.

        Matt Gaetz could bring another dozen or so, 17 year girls across state lines, and still not reach the scale of evil contained within Trump’s former OG AG Keebler.

        That’s my point. The best you can hope for is someone who also dipshit maxes, hard.

    This is absolutely the wrong person for the job (if you’re Trump). This is basically good news.

    Gaetz has literally no demonstrable experience as an attorney that would help him in this role. He got his license to practice law in 2008 and has periodically worked at Keefe Anchors & Gordon where he only practiced real estate, employment, property insurance, and contract law and later lost his law license because he forgot to pay his dues (while in office, where having that kind of credential could be valuable). KAG (now AnchorsGordon) appears to mostly have employed him as a political tool, not as a legitimate attorney that represented their clients directly. There are few if any legal documents with his name on them, so he very likely did very little actual legal work during his employment there.

    Since then over 400 alumni of his Alma Mater have described him as “unfit to write or determine the law”.

    This is a position you want a competent and experienced attorney serving your administration. Gaetz may be a yes-man for Trump, but this is a massive strategic mistake for him and his goals. Trump’s proposals so far are absolutely guaranteed to be challenged by the courts if he moves on them, and Gaetz is going to be literally the worst possible representative you could choose to try to defend your admin in that scenario.

      You’re overlooking the fact that DOJ lawyers, provided by the Herritage Foundation and FedSoc will be arguing those cases. Gaetz just needs to do what he’s told.

      You seem to think that the incoming administration will be following established laws, regulations, procedures, etc.

      They will not.

        Those of you downvoting me, look at the vote totals for swing states in 2020 vs 2024.

          2024 Trump turnout beat 2020 Biden turnout in the swing states. People are mad that Dems didn’t turn out, but my point is that Harris did better in some of the swing states or nearly as well in the other ones, and Trump beat the 2020 numbers. It wasn’t that Dems didn’t turn out in these crucial states, it’s that more Trump ones did. I don’t know why you thought leaving Trump’s votes out of your analysis was wise cause him winning was kind of the entire point.

          I don’t know why people are so eager to be mad at anyone other than fucking Trump voters. They actively chose this, they spoke resoundingly clear. All these excuses, all these reasons, all these scenarios. It’s insanity to me. Desi Lydic nailed exactly how I’m feeling: I don’t care why she lost, I care why he won.

            First, I’m not mad at anyone.

            I’m only offering you the raw data to illustrate that your initial point, as you wrote it, was incorrect. Biden did slightly better than Harris in the swing state total. Trump seemed irrelevant to your earlier point.

            It seems your point should have simply been that more people voted for a Trump than Harris. And, as the numbers suggest, it’s plausible many of them had switched from Biden to Trump. So, if you want to “be mad” at anyone, it would be either Biden’s administration or Harris’ campaign.

            Although, I feel it’s worth more of our time focusing on the last bit - how is it that people are so disconnected from reality that Trump was ever a consideration. How is it that practically everyone believes everything they hear or read and use it to enforce their narrative?

            If I’m mad at anything, it’s boisterous claims being spread through social media without anyone caring enough to determine if the claim is true or not.

          I mean, yes they do? If Harris had won those seeing states, she’d have won the EC. And her turnout was higher than Biden’s. It’s just that Trump’s was even higher.

        Look at the number of eligible voters that didn’t vote. Their point is 100% valid, just like it has been for pretty much every election. This time is just extra inexcusable because of what we’ve collectively lost.
