A Brief Glance At Some Of Trumpie The Clown's Proposed Administration

As you read these, keep telling yourself  "He only knows the best people. He only knows the best people. He only knows the best people." And, before you start, pour yourself a very stiff drink.

Attorney General: The first proposed candidate was Matt Gaetz, who is allegedly a sexual predator. Which he shares with Trumpie--except in Trumpie's case you can drop the "allegedly" part. He also appears to be suffering from either a very bad chem peel, or a complete failure of a face lift. But, not to worry--he's out. His replacement is Pam Bondi, whose one qualification is she knows how to take a bribe and keep her mouth shut. This is a very important trait in Trump World.

Secretary of State: Lil Marco Rubio, who apparently put his dignity, common sense, and manhood in a blind trust to please Trumpie, is perhaps the "most" qualified of Trumpie's picks so far. And he isn't qualified at all--except as a world class lickspittle. Another important trait in Trump World.

Secretary of Defense: Pete Hegseth's chief qualification to be in charge of the world's most powerful military is that he was a talking head on Fox News. Oh, he was in the Minnesota National Guard and he was posted  to Iraq and Afghanistan, but his main claim to military fame is he convinced Trumpie to pardon three soldiers convicted or accused of war crimes during those conflicts. So, you know his moral sense is in just the right place for this Administration. He's also been accused of sexual assault. Petey is on wife number 3. Just like Trumpie. Apparently he cheated on the first two. Now, if he can just cheat on number three, he'll be tied with Trumpie in that category. At one point, his mother criticized him for his treatment of women, using words like "abuser" "lies, cheats, sleeps around" etc. But, wonder of wonders,  he found religion and Mommie now says he's A-OK. A mother's love is a beautiful thing.

Whatever the fuck Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is supposed to be: the salient fact about RFK Jr. is that he is disgrace to his father's memory. Beyond that, he knows literally nothing about science, medicine, vaccines, and whatever else he is supposed to "fix". And the few things he does know are mostly wrong. His core "beliefs" are indistinguishable from medieval superstitions. Get ready for the triumphant return of assorted infectious disease that you thought were long gone. Enjoy your raw milk.

Ambassador to France: Jared Kushner's daddy, Charles, is a criminal. Trumpie, of course, pardoned him on his way out the door the first time. Odds are he will have to pardon him again on his way out the door this time, because once you start "crimin' it's hard to stop. A pile of moldy brie would make a better ambassador to France.

The DOGE kids:  Elon Musk has become the World's Richest Man by buying up other people's ideas, pretending he invented them, and then getting HUGE government loans to "grow" his businesses. He and Vivek Whateverswamy are so "smart", so very "smart" that they are going to gut the Federal government. And though this will cause untold suffering to everyone who needs government assistance (and that's most everyone who isn't a multi-millionaire or billionaire) they're sure that this will make everything much better...eventually. And if it doesn't, well, they'll still both be rich beyond most people's imagining, so it's all good. Besides, you can't make an omelette without breaking a few million eggs.

Some Things I Will Simply Never Understand

Let's say you're an American billionaire.

Or perhaps just a billionaire who's made their fortune in America.

You've obviously done very well under the system we have.

A billion dollars is a lot. Multiples of a billion are almost beyond comprehension for the vast majority of people.

Sure, there are rules and regulations and laws you may chafe about. Just because you have, at a bare minimum, one thousand million dollars doesn't mean you can't find things to complain about.

Human nature being what it is.

But, bottom line, you've done very well financially by this country.

So, why do some billionaires want to destroy the system that has made them rich, Rich, RICH?

It might make a suspicious person think that they must be working for someone else.

Maybe some foreigner.

Some foreigner who really does want to destroy America from the inside.

It isn't too surprising that Trump doesn't understand how tariffs work.

After all, he's bankrupted several business, including a couple of casinos.

He's simply not very good with numbers and he simply can't wrap his mostly empty head around the whole tariff issue.

But he has people around him who aren't complete imbeciles, and they should sit him down, give him a Big Mac and plenty of ketchup, and talk him through the whole tariff deal until he either gets it, which admittedly isn't likely, or gets distracted by something shiny, and forgets about the whole subject.

My dog, who is a poodle and therefore smarter than many people, understands that Obamacare and the ACA are the same fucking thing. Why don't the "low information voters" so beloved by Trumpie?

We continue to read about the many people who vehemently want to get rid of Obamacare but keep their ACA health plan.

I mean, it's one thing to be "low information" and quite another to be a fucking moron.

Don't you think?

Hey, once they round up all the "illegals" and throw them into processing "camps" so that the MAGATs, Tom Homan,  and Stephen Miller can finally get an erection that lasts, who's going build the houses, pick the produce, work in the slaughterhouses, clean houses, mow lawns, cook food, look after your kids, in short do all of the things that obese, lazy, soft, white folks can't or won't do?

Oh! That's why Republicans are bringing back child labor! My bad.

All the latest food fads, all the latest diets, all the latest miracle pills are completely unnecessary. And yet we are inundated with adds for all sorts "miracle" weight loss schemes. And desperate people frantically grasp any and all of them.

You don't need a pill to lose weight. Just stop eating so much.

We, as a nation, are obese because We. Eat. Too. Much.

It's just that simple. It's not about preservatives. It's not about what is and isn't organic. It's not about corn syrup. It's about quantity.

This isn't rocket science. You take in more calories than you expend, the excess turns to fat.

Every foreigner who comes to this country is shocked by our portion sizes.

Add in an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, and voila!

Exercise of practically any kind is good for you, but unless you're a marathon runner, or tri-athlete, there is no way that exercise alone will overcome the shear amount of food that the typical American ingests in a week.

Here's an experiment. Keep track of all the calories you consume in a week. Divide by 7. Then look up the recommended daily caloric intake for your age and sex. If your daily average isn't well above it, you are in the minority.
