Trump Staffs Up
by Abby Zimet
November 15, 2024

Introduction:

(Common Dreams) Hoo boy. The new orange king is busy choosing his viper's den of crooks, rapists, misfits and "comically inappropriate" zealots, aka bootlickers to "run" his "government": A Russian asset to head national intelligence, a rabid TV host to helm the world's largest military, an anti-science crank for HHS, a child-sex-trafficking "foreheadful MAGA pustule" as A.G - a bid so demented it wasn't even on our Apocalypse Bingo card. Shockingly, these are not serious people, but loyalty tests: "The absurdity is the point."

Thus does our new era of governance by nihilist sociopaths open with mind-blowing headlines like, "Trump Names Fox News Host to Lead Defense Department." After the most vicious, hollow, bonkers campaign in this country's history, nobody's surprised Trump is choosing to reward the sycophants, culture warriors and "incompetent fascists" who will do his malevolent bidding. Still, his Cabinet appointments for the three jobs most vital to him - control over the military, intelligence secrets and the DOJ's power to prosecute - are preposterous enough many argue he's not even pretending to want a real government, but simply playing perilous chicken with a GOP Congress to see how much he can get away with, each name worse than the last.

First up was his choice of "stunningly unqualified" former Hawaii congresswoman, National Guard reserve and new bestie Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence, even though she has no experience in intelligence work - "literally, none" - or managing anything. She also made a dubious 2017 "fact-finding" trip to Syria and met twice with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who's accused of killing hundreds of thousands of his own people; critics deemed the meeting "an outrage" and she is widely viewed as a Russian flunkie who "cozies up to dictators." While Trump praised her "fearless spirit," many blasted the nomination, charging she's not just ill-prepared for the job but such a national security risk that Putin might as well have gotten it.

Watch for whoever is appointed to direct the FBI, as well as the new U.S. Attorney General, to launch investigations into both the New York Attorney General's office and individuals employed their and working on the Trump case.
