The Majority Gets Exactly What it Wanted

 There are currently some of the talking heads on MSBC, CNN, and other outlets who have expressed horror and dismay at Donald Trump's cabinet nominees and administrative picks. The quick response to their shock and disgust is, what the fuck did you expect? The man is simply delivering on the things he promised during the 2024 Presidential campaign. He is, ultimately, giving the American electorate exactly what they voted for.

That's right, a majority of American voters--although an increasingly slim majority--wanted to see the nation's institutions burned to the ground. You don't hire sane, or even reasonable people to accomplish a job that big. You go out and get the most cruel, corrupt, sociopaths and deviants available. None of them need to be even remotely qualified, or ethical. The only true requirement is having complete and undying loyalty to, The Leader, Donald John Trump. Well, that and a real taste for arson.

Of course, as he just learned even Donald Trump can take it a step too far. He certainly did when he nominated then Congressman Matt Gaetz to the office of Attorney General. Gaetz had two big problems though. The first was Congressional knowledge of his ecstasy and cocaine fueled Bunga-Bunga parties which featured barely legal and in one alleged case underage girls. Second, no one, either democrat, or republican could stand him. He was, reportedly, one of the most hated people in Congress. In fact, his only pal on the hill might have been Marjorie Taylor Greene who is also considered persona non grata on both sides of the aisle. Gaetz might have been able to survive the drugs, sex, and rock and roll, after all Donald Trump has more than a few times, but to paraphrase Lloyd Benson's old line, Matt Gaetz is no Donald Trump. 

Yes, scores of GOP members of the House and Senate might not like Trump in private, but they are so frightened of him they would never go after him in public. None of them, however, are scared of a small-time obnoxious asshole like Matt Gaetz. Gaetz chose to withdraw rather than face the release of the House Ethics Committee report regarding his sordid behavior and some truly uncomfortable questions in a Senate confirmation hearing.

Trump seems on safer ground with his other nominees and appointments, at least with his base and Congressional republicans. Secretary of Defense nominee, Pete Hegseth's tattoos might be objectionable to the weenies of the left, especially the one which reads, "Deus Volt," which is popular among white nationalists. So might his steadfast belief that women shouldn't be allowed in combat, or command positions in the military--or probably anywhere else.  But hey, Americans just proved for a second time they agree with him. His serial philandering and the accusation of sexual assault won't slow him down either. Let's face it, in Trump's world that sort of behavior has come to be expected and, as we've learned in the last eight years, public figures don't commit rape, they simply don't take no for an answer. 

Linda McMahon's main contribution to American society and culture is that she and her husband Vince founded World Wrestling Entertainment, the outfit that gave us Hulk Hogan, Jake the Snake Roberts and so many others. She also might have facilitated the occasional act of child sex abuse by looking the other way, but nothing has been proven. Besides, if Trump gets his way, Secretary of Education is only a temporary job. 

TV's Dr. Mehmet Oz is along for the ride to help dismantle the Affordable Care Act, another promise of Trump's campaign. And, despite his bout with brain worms, Bobby Kennedy Jr is around to make sure no one gets a vaccine and there aren't any new ones developed. There are others, but space and time limitations prevent us from naming them all and describing their crimes and sexual, let's say, tastes.

And while the liberals in the media might act shocked and appalled, in the end, Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Schools Ryan Walters went on CNN the other day, (the man has an absolute uncanny ability to get on national TV) and put it succinctly. "Liberals," he said, "don't have to like it."

Indeed. America has spoken and these types of gruesome clowns are exactly the agents of chaos they voted to get. And now, by God, Donald Trump is going to make sure his supporters and the rest of us get it.
