It's both hilariously bad and depressing.

Let's see who we've got here so far:

Elon Musk - Literally the richest man on Earth helping run the Ameri$$$an government. Also, DOGE.

That one guy who became the defence secretary whose only qualification was being on Fox News.

RFK Jr. as health minister when he has wacky pseudoscientific views.

Pedo Gaetz.

DOCTOR. OZ.

And the funniest of them all, the elephant in the room, though he is only a potential candidate right now:

ALEX. JONES. AS. PRESS. SECRETARY.

The AmeriKKKan empire is becoming a circus, a fitting end.

It’s great. It’s also irrelevant because he’s gonna fall out with half these people before they even officially start work, the rest will be out by June 2025

It really does feel like he just picked people he saw on TV

The only reason he hasn't tried to get Hannibal Lecter to be the head of the FDA is not because he's a fictional character, but because he thinks he's recently deceased.

We know Trump is a cable news head. This seems likely.

You missed the Linda McMahon pick for Secretary of Education. Wtf. I would've never predicted that lol.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago

the wildest part of this is these appointments are 100% reciprocation for them putting him in a wrestlemania once

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

I am so glad I am one of the two departments that don't have a complete clown coming in so far.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 month ago

Obviously Alex Jones is an evil man who should be buried in sand with his head exposed and left to die of exposure. But it would be extremely fitting for him to be US Press Secretary. He's already the character of American US Propaganda Chief ripped from the most unsubtle political satire ever written.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, I guess it's bad for the future of the US and mankind in general and stuff, but I appreciate that the ghouls in charge are going to be media clowns I already know and hate.

For once they don't roll out some new vaguely human-shaped sexual harrassment fungus called Kevin McFrumpus who we all have to pretend is a very real and important person now

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

For the US yeah, for mankind in general? The jury is still out on that one.

Rfk's potential handling of the upcoming H5N1 pandemic could fuck over other countries as well

Marjorie Taylor Greene, Director of the National Science Foundation

Oh God.

I could see her going for NOAA tbh

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago

Linda McMahon for dept of education

The United States is a joke but Jesus Christ we’re really outdoing ourselves this time around. I guess we figure if this is the end of the us we gotta go out with a bang

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

They’re just as ghoulish and terrible as whatever freaks would have been chosen by a different president. (Except Bernie, of course.) Larry Summers is a horrific monster, for instance. The difference is that Trump’s picks are buffoons that people have heard of and tend to be repugnant in ways that the usual running dogs aren’t.

Can Alex Jones get a presidential pardon on his debt from the Sandy Hook case?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago

It's a civil case, so no. But he can get it covered if they let him suckle at the graft teat

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The rules say no, for whatever that's worth these days.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The Supreme Court: US constitution requires the state to cover all legal expenses of persons named Alex Jones

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Okay, changing my name to Alex Jones.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

at this point I am convinced I live in a cartoon and Trump is the main character.

does alex jones shill for israel?? if he were press secretary that would be one of his main jobs

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

Yeah this was my thought too. Jones historically hasn't been keen on Israel, just earlier this year he called them genocidal. But he's also a weathervane. He says whatever he thinks will get him the most attention.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

dude will say anything for money? Why would you think any of his opinions are sincere?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

He'll just say whatever papa trump wants him to, he's not an agent of chaos or anything like that. Just a sycophant

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (9 children)

Alex Jones

But not the Alex Jones™©® character. Which is owned by the onion? So they can deepfake him legally and contradict everything Alex Jones (the guy with a social security number) says?

Oh! Oh! They could call the other one the deep fake!

That would be hilarious but I dont see jones getting in. Him and Trump both need to always be the smartest person in the room. Alex has already (totally impotentlly) threatened to turn on Trump or go to war with Trump of he doesn't do what jones says he does.

The first time jones got caught in a particularly explicit lie at a press conference he'd throw Trump under the bus and say he gave him bad info and get fired within a week.

WikiFeet users have to be real happy about this one.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

THIS. IS. YOUR. FAULT. LIBERALS.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

The question is, are these guys there to just hire a bunch of sickos who will run things, or are they there to actually run things themselves? Because if they are running things, they will achieve none of their own evil goals. With the exception of immigration, the fact that Trump hired that Obama immigration guy proves that stuff WILL get done this time.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

I think they all deserve eachother
