If you’re like Todd Beeton, you’ve been watching Donald Trump roll out his MAGA cabinet picks with a weird combination of jaw dropping shock…and a big helping of “told you so!” vindication. But just how mind-numbingly awful are his choices, actually?
WE ARE SOOOOOO SCREWED. ...... 🙀🙀
It's like watching an unboxing video of a set of action figure villains.
But But But.... I thought that he was supposed to have the BESTLIEST People.
Pretty awful actually, although they could get way worse...Did I just say that? This is what we've come to...anything less than tanks and foreign troops in the streets, seems like a win. Snafu!
Real Bad!
His nominations give new meaning to " deplorable "
There are no words!
The circus has already begun, though maga republicans are arguing amongst themselves, like MTG who's jealous Trump didn't pick her for anything. If it gets worse,"BEAM ME UP SCOTTY" Love you🥰
Trump picked these people for a purpose. To dismantle and destroy the departments they will be in charge of from within. To prove that "government doesn't work" and only Trump can fix it.
Pretty god damned mind-numbingly awful and for everyone that drops he has many more to fill their spots until his entire cabinet is filled with the worst of the sordid worst.
Birds of a feather!!!!
They trigger all the right people. It's glorious.
Is this a game? Wait wait I want to buy a vowel…
What chair is Hulk Hogan getting???
They're all a bunch of spineless hacks.
the MCMahons must REALLY have something on tRuMp- this is her second appointment
They are about as bad as I expected and my only hope is that they will all last as long as Gaetz.
I’ve been trying to figure out where to put Ted Nugent on my Trump administration bingo card. I’m going with CDC, due to his expertise with Cat Scratch Fever.
Keep in mind these are just the heads of the snake. The ones in the shadows have legions of trained (remember the 2025 "training videos) flying monkeys ready to fit the ground running and be placed in depts wherever they can do the most damage
We may see a record number of failed confirmations. I believe the record is 4. I won’t be surprised to see that over/under on a gambling app.
All I hope
So appalling that I'm looking forward to the huge f-ups by these clowns!
Frankly…. It scares me. And as a Brit there’s nothing I can do…..
The worse the picks the more ineffective his administration will be. Incompetent cabinet choices will take at least until the midterms to figure out how to love the levers of government. By that time, Trump will become a lame duck POTUS without control of Congress.
People keep calling it a cabinet, call it what it is, a junk drawer!
I think the intention is to encourage competent staff to resign, rather than fire them.
trump is smart enough to pick someone who will be the best at destroying that particular organization.
as a member of the Intelligence Community I can attest that the thought of Tulsi Gabbard as DNI is very troubling. The fine men and women of the IC can not support someone who lies about really important things. at the end of the day all we have is our integrity.
My only hope is the fact that MAGAs most defining trait is cowardice. I have to believe she'll be shamed into behaving by competent people that have sacrificed to get to the place they are. A little side eye could go a long way
Ok
Tulsi is the most dangerous to date.
What part of this surprises you? Not being sarcastic. Seriously: what part of this surprises you?
Pretty damned bad. It's a clown show, but will be dangerous for the country.
Look the circus is in town!
The worst in the history of the US; except, perhaps, Nixon'$ but they haven't got to the crimin' while cabinet members stage yet.....Pam Bondi wil show them how to get "gratuities".
I wonder who's next on his Rouges Gallery?
RFK might not be that bad a pick for EPA. That he gets thrown into his worst thing should be a signal to him that he got played. But Trump is an expert at one thing- playing on awful people's egos.
This is just a side show to distract us from the Project 2025 appointments! Don't lose focus. The bad guys are lining up behind these clowns
Horrific and unbelievably criminal.
Textbook photo of Rogues Gallery.
I would go with the Fox Host guy, followed by McMahon, then Oz... Oh... Forgot RFKJr.... He will go after the Fox Host guy...
He nominated two democrats, and bout five minutes ago, the second female AG in US History.
How? Doubt they could be much worse.
The only consolation is that they are grifters not grafters. In order for them to change anything they will have to work to do it. Be careful what you wish for kind of thing. 🤞🏻
I have never been happier not to be an American bad.
I’ve never been more embarrassed to be one. And that’s saying a lot because there is a ton to be embarrassed about.
We share the sentiment
BAD!
Dr Caligari's cabinet
The next one will be his pick for defense secretary. But also Elon musk and RFK will be out within 12 months. Elon thinks he's going to be co-president and he's going to butt heads with Trump while RFK only did this for attention
I share that sentiment a little bit, but can we be surprised? No. It is time to stop lamenting about things that this regime will or will not do. Whatever it will do, it will be worse than anyone imagined. It is time to organize, structure, plan for what is about to happen, not whine about it.
This is what America voted for - I'm firmly in "rhymes with bucket" mode on it all
Part of the clown fest. Oh, the ultimate line. "That is what they voted for" incredible.
I don't know if I should laugh, cry, or grab popcorn for the inevitable shitshow
Take Wagging the Dog
They will soon find out what it feels like to sell your soul to the devil. They will not be exempt from his wrath.
It's like reality satire - if there was such a thing
You don’t have to watch just hear the names
Almost as bad as the choice Americans made.
Well, you worked with William Shatner - you've got a better comparative baseline than most...
He is making sure that they are all loyal, no matter their ability. Last admin had mass resignations, with all of them saying that Trump was incompetent. At least some of them had experience in their positions. Now, no experience necessary, just blind obedience.
Is it gonna have bill cosby as Surgeon General?
It's not a cabinet, it's a junk drawer
If it had been any other guy that had sex trafficking, minor, and basically engaging in prostitution (paying for it) in the same accusation. We would have been thrown under the jail and would have had to register as sex offenders. That is if we "lived" through our jail time. The right is silent...
It’s like watching a bad episode of Star Trek, where the aliens look just a bit too ridiculous! 😅😅😅
This is accelerationist agenda. They want the US to fall so they can write a new constitution. They plan to drive for a civil war, that they claim will be bloodless if we let them have their way with our country.
Awful for those in government. Milei the hell out of this.
Stop with the fake reality personality hiring of morons
Completely mind-numbing. I'm only surprised that 45's family hasn't been re-hired. Yet.
Each shall continue to stoke hatred and divisiveness. When they show you who they are, pay attention.
Coupla more sexual abusers, and he could field a baseball team….
Can someone please 🙏 explain what a “disruptor” is for (and how it is differentiated from a “useful idiot”) or do we need to make them all watch John Lewis:Good Trouble? It’s not this
trumpy is putting together a LeaderShip of Fools. And they're meaner than anything Stephen King ever came up with.
I can only shake my head. Unfortunately most voters don't know or care how our government is run. They have no clue the pandora box they have opened.
Donald needs incompetent wealthy idiots in his tribe to make himself look better to himself. I’m sure they are tingling with delight not realizing he’s just gonna make them scapegoats and ruin their already tarnished reputations. They all fall down eventually. It’s inevitable.
It looks like a dot-to-dot playbook for: 'How to weaken America as a global power'.
Anyone that can’t see this clown show, is either blind, stupid, or has an agenda!
Absolutely none of them are remotely qualified to head up any of their appointments. Just because you rode on a train doesn’t mean you can be ahead of transportation. Just because you took an aspirin you shouldn’t be in charge of healthcare. Is people are idiots
Mindnumbingly obvious. He's picking "Pick Me's" over whom he has full control.
Every one of them is pretty much a big F. U. to America. Or at least to half of America.
No, it’s all of America. The other half just doesn’t realize it yet.
👆
😱
My high school freshman got a C in her Financial Literacy test on taxes. I think Trump just found his new Chairwoman of the Federal Reserve.
And republicans upset about nominating Gaetz after they voted for Trump is so hypocritical
I personally feel Trump needs to make 1 or 2 outrageous picks to be the fall guys so he gets to sneak in the less crazy picks without as much pressure as people are focused on the bat $hit crazy ones
As bad as bad can be. He couldn’t find more unqualified and Maga crazy people. HHS, scares me for our children
As Matt Gaetz has shown, anyone picked now has a non-zero percent chance of being fired before Trump takes office. Don't get too attached to any of these schmucks.
Next up for AG is someone that was paid off to stop investigating Trump.
Gabbard is the most dangerous pick IMO, although they are all dangerous and bad.
We're watching from Canada in complete shock and amazement!
They're pretty awful. I keep feeling good about Gaetz being gone but then I feel sick about who he's liable to replace him with.
As someone else said, it’s not a cabinet, but a kitchen junk drawer.
I mean, if RFK didn't have brain worms he might be decent. 🤷
BAD!!!
Bad🤮
They're all corrupt incompetents. Like the moron some people elected.
The picks are patently absurd. It's the cabinet a poorly-written cartoon supervillain would pick. It's like they're going out of their way to pick the worst people possible. It reeks of Beast Rabban.
You’re afraid they’re going to expose all of the corruption and bullshit from the Biden and Obama administration and there is a lot to expose. I freaking can’t wait.
The Injustice League of Deplorables
I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I SAW YOU FOLLOWED ME!!!! but it wasnt you, it was a fake account. 😢 I'm still hoping though 💙💙💙
The fact that these individuals are all so compromised is the entire point in their appointments. The dirty laundry will to used to leverage them into having to bend the knee to everything 45 wants or they’ll be dropped like a hot rock and publicly ruined.
This was done for for "shock and awe" effect.
Every single pick is a dumpster fire.
If by then I'm still allowed to read books, I'd love to read whatever book Dana Milbank will write about KakisTrumpocracy 2.o.
Milbank (of the WaPo) wrote "The Destructionists", a very detailed non-fiction work of journalism on the damage wrought by Republicans during the last 25 years -- and, most likely, well beyond
President Bonespur still has plenty of weirdos, crackpots, perverts, nuts, foilheads and criminals to replace the dropouts. The MAGA bench is deeeeeep!
He nominated Beavis (or is it Butthead?), that's how bad it is. But at lest there's good news there now.
Definitely Butthead 😂
No need to read, I'm aware.
Turmp nominated Pam bondi for AG 🤦🏼♀️
Awful indeed
Trump has just been dicking us since he "won" the Election. RFK Jr will be next to go. And others from the Clown Show.
He is basically just thumbing his nose at everyone to say I can do whatever I want, don’t plan to govern… just to get revenge and pretend I am smart and important!
It's gonna be a tiring 4 years
On a scale of 1 to 10 PRETTY FUCKING AWFUL
The more incompetent they are the less likely his agenda will proceed. I'm good with him continuing to appoint incompetent people. People who are competent already realized what kind of person he is and are smart enough to avoid him like the plague.
The great American grift continues. Bleed us dry Trump. Thanks, MAGA, for making me suffer along with you.
Hegseth is next to go.
It’s like he is trying to be terrible… or it’s the sorting hat stuck on Slytherin … not sure, one of the two
Just when you think it couldn't get any worse, Trump pulls out a new level of bat shit crazy
What's to be shocked about his cabinet picks. I expected him to pick scum like himself.
How many Scaramuccis will they last?
Isn’t it all just a distraction?
You kind of have to wonder what influence Putin has on these choices, they are just so brilliantly and flagrantly unqualified that it makes your head spin. Not sure Trump has that level of intelligence.
No, but Elonia does. We know Elonia and putinia definitely are BFF for life.😬 However, long putinia allows that life to be.😅
One down, hopefully Pete Hogsbreath will go down next!
Pretty damned awful.
You said it. Mind Numbing.
Tulsi Gabbard is gonna ruin us all
Still can't figure out how so many people could be so stupid.
BAD
They're only awful if you're a decent person that cares about the welfare of others (see preamble of the Constitution). If you're a conniving uncaring narcissistic traitor, these picks are perfect. So pull up a chair, hunker down and watch the feces festival that is Trumplandia.😞
Well, because orange grandpa insists on bein’ the smartest guy in the room… it’s only natural he nominates a confederacy of dunces.
His picks are not bad, to him. They're bad for everyone else. But they're yes men to him which is what he wants.
If Trump's first term is anything to go by, most of his current cabinet picks will be gone within 12 months. Either Trump will throw them under a bus because he realises they realise he he's mad as a hatter, or they'll quit because they realise he's mad as a hatter.
That was the first time Gratz pulled out.
The Sex offender demographic must be fucking overjoyed with the level of representation they have
Okay, ala Roman theory of superficial appeasement: The circus is being supplied, but can the bread also be supplied to satiate the citizenry?
So wait, is this a list of Trump's appointment nominees or a sex offender registry?
An F grading isn’t even low enough.
Bad enough to colapse the government.
Watch them drop like flies.
Trump is not only nominating his sycophants who can inflict the most damage on their departments and agencies but also priming the pump for future craftier nominees.
I was under the assumption that someone with a felony wasn’t able to run for office or vote??
I think sometimes we take competent gov’t for granted and I think we’re going to find out what happens when it goes off the rails.
