Marco Rubio is a great pick for any Republican administration. He will do a great job until he gets nauseous from the bizarre rantings and decisions and anti democracy and anti allies and pro Russia and weak North Korea and provocations toward China and etc. As long as he can prioritize.

We all know it will happen. Rubio puts party first but maybe he won’t stand idly by as Trump nukes vital American policy and assists Russia in its predatory aims in Europe.

And I do think that the animosity shown toward Ukraine as Trump tries to force them to surrender and give part of their own country to Russia will leave him quite queasy.

So I think he is in a temp job. But him being there will make the country much much safer. Again as long as he knows the priorities.

But his possible crossing the rubicon would come from his ambitions. Secretary of State could set him up to run for President. He will have to decide about country before party and world before Trump.

I have hope.

It's not at all hard to imagine that Trump 2.0 will be an even greater disaster for the country than 1.0, and these early picks for cabinet positions and agency leadership already show it. Virtually every named individual so far is going to be an unmitigated disgrace, combining the worst aspects of incompetence and sycophancy. Buckle up folks...it's gonna get real ugly.

I am most concerned with foreign policy ( which tariffs effect ) and climate. Domestic damage is easier to fix.

It looks like the filibuster will end and there could be a back and forth on certain laws. MAGA legislates national abortion ban and Dems reverse it and reinstates Roe V Wade - let the Supreme Court be banned until MAGA puts abortion ban bill in front of a MAGA president again during a trifecta.

I absolutely also think that Trump 2.0 will be worse and fraught with danger.
I have grave concern for the DOJ and at some point there will massive resignations which will create dangerous chaos and could damage the quality of the DOJ for several years.

There are so many areas of danger 24/7 and it is going to be an It the clown show.

And nobody knows if Trump will commit espionage crimes by helping Russia. He could also put CIA and FBI agents in danger.
It is scary to think of what he could do.

One of these days I will give my view on the Immigration issue. It have a lot of opinions concerning immigration.

The designated border czar ( the Harris campaign was a horses aass for letting Trump viciously LIE about her being the border czar - she was not even for one day the border czar. ) is going to do what he was picked for with an iron fist no velvet glove over that fist.
He comes across as a sadistic person.
One can do that job without sadism.

Immigration is NOT the problem. WE Do NOT have an immigration problem.

What we have is an IGNORANCE problem.
Most (not all, thankfully) of my fellow voting citizens are IGNORANT.
They are so stupid that 90% of the poor (relatively) rural VOTE went for Trump.
A man so far removed from anything resembling an understanding of those folks lives as you can possibly get. YET, they voted for him as IF He was some kind of savior. IGNORANCE.

Others voted for him because of some nonsense idea that HE would fix inflation. Which of course after 4 hard years of work Biden just finally got back under control after TRUMP's mess that dodderin' ol Joe inherited. Of course, Tariffs and deportation will just cause a quick return of inflation as ALL our goods and FOOD costs increase. 3 Buck heads of lettuce anyone??? Yet they voted for a classless misogynist convicted Felon who tells them He'll end inflation. Again. IGNORANCE beyond belief IMO.

Buckle up folks.............. we is likely headed for some rough times...........WAY beyond the chaos and violence we've seen before. Next summer, I predict here and now, our cities streets will be ablaze. I do hope I'm wrong...........but don't bet on me being so. Sadly on matters such as these I've rarely been off in the past.

Your neighbors WILL remain stupid until they have no other choice but to join the throng on the streets themselves.
When the lawless lead, there will be NO LAW.

The pop up ads are gone. I use my phone most of the time but I am assuming it works the same on the computer.

Now there are larger ads placed between posts on forums. Like commercials. They do not interfere at all and I’m sure that they are dramatically better for the advertisers.

On my phone there are little ads sometimes on the bottom of the screen but they do not interrupt posting.

Secretary of Defense

Trump has picked a Fox host whose military experience is being an officer in the national guard.
He is a reactionary extremist whose views come from Fox University.

He will - will - hurt recruitment if he installs his views.
Maybe he could affect morale.

This is the bush league incompetent bizarre weirdo presidential leadership that intellectually honest people were very concerned about.

And wait until he starts giving free reign to the mentally disturbed RFK Jr a man who is so severely mentally and emotionally unfit and so generally delusional that he is the only person in the United States who thinks that the murderer of his father is innocent. The parole board has to tell him no every time he asks for the murderer to be released.

For years he has been estranged from every member of his family including his mother.

BTW - if one person from one prison from the state of 40 million people gets out with no involvement from Harris that is a mortal sin because the parolee commits a serious crime. And the parole board approved the release.
They came up with one person and made it sound like one million.

Please compare that to a person requesting personally and in attendance I believe the parole of the man who shot his father in the head. It is a cause celeb for for that sexual assaulter and murderer of animals who had a worm hole in his brain and if he gets his way will punish the FDA and block vaccines
and if he gets the chance he would kill more people then Trump did during Covid.

Anyone who does not accept the fact that in several ways Trump caused an extra 200,000 American deaths should get their head out of wherever it is and get a grip on reality.

Matt Gaetz picked for attorney general.
The talking heads are going back and forth about confirmation.

2 words - recess appointments

These appointments are even more ridiculous than I would have predicted. We are seeing what true presidential incompetence looks like. The American people owe a huge debt to Joe Biden for bringing an interregnum (word chosen deliberately) to this period of utter leadership failure - and history will demonstrate that conclusively.

Ridiculous and frightening.
I think that incompetence is one side of the coin and the other side is malice.

The I told you so comments have already begun.
The country has already gone down the drain.
It picked an strange and evil man twice.
The base reacts like Pavlov’s dogs not like responsible thoughtful decent patriotic Americans.
The only way that his base will ever oppose him is if he starts a nuclear war. Short of that forget about it.
