Summary
Russian state TV hosts are celebrating Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks, claiming they could “dismantle America.”
Figures like Vladimir Solovyov praised the nominees, including Kash Patel for FBI director and Tulsi Gabbard for intelligence, as a “radical dream team” likely to undermine U.S. institutions.
Critics in the U.S. warn that Trump’s selections, including conspiracy theorists and controversial figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Pete Hegseth, signal plans to weaken federal agencies.
I actually think we’ll endure. These guys are dumber than dogshit and will stumble over themselves trying to do crazy stuff. They’ll mostly fail. They’ll piss off a lot of people and lose their political capital in a matter of months. When then inbred cretins start making threats against their congresscritters, the gears will grind and ain’t shit getting done.
Even stupid can do a lot of damage. My main concern, other than trump’s shortsighted destruction of everything his ego can reach, is the ruling wealthy class he’s inserting everywhere that will wedge the door further open for the oligarchy to control the country for their exclusive pillaging. Yeah, trump might fuck up NATO, give putin Ukraine, let the Israel wipe out Palestinians…but it’s the courtiers that have his ear that will commit the lasting destruction to the US itself. Destroy unions, the CFPB, environmental regs, tariffs sending prices and inflation through the roof, who knows what they’ll do to the ACA, the CDC, or other agencies that directly benefit the people, shoving religion into schools and giving public money to religious schools. There is so much damage to be done.
Not to mention governmental deadlock can be just as damaging as no government, because theyre effectively the same. I wouldnt be surprised if we see the govt shut down for a couple months because they try to ram through federally outlawing trans rights and they wont give on it, so eventually democrats will cave to get shit like school funding and ss flowing again.
You are describing 1979 Iran. The GOP will slap together a massive shit sandwich and everyone is going to take a bite.
I would love nothing more than for this to be right.
We need to believe that this is right… otherwise everyone stops caring and they can really get away with all sorts of shit. The more you toss out laws, the more important that public opinion becomes.
My brother in Christ do you not remember 2016-2020??
Did we not endure?
Sweet summer child
I mean…we did, we got a democrat president after.
Barely. But I guess you are forgetting jan 6 or choosing to.
You say barely, but it still happened. Things are worse now, but it wasn’t an apocalypse post 2016. Jan 6th was awful but those rubes can’t accomplish shit and they didn’t accomplish shit.
I think you’re giving them too much credit
I’m right there with you, but I am preparing for the worst case by moving to a blue state and near the border with Mexico. If things go south, I can go south and stay with relatives for a while.
This smells like copium.
I can’t wait for people to stop saying this dumb fucking word
Why do you not like it? Seriously, I want to know what you think.
You mean, the “HEAVILY ARMED and violent, inbred cretins”.
Get the popcorn and sit back. It’s going to be wild.
