    Gaetz was a throwaway. Intended to make the other unqualified cabinet jackasses seem normal. The woman that trump named today will be just as awful but more competent since she actually has experience as a corrupt state AG. And it’s doubtful she’s as rapey as most of his other male cabinet picks. As far as we know at this point she’s just about the money.

    Yeah, I thought that too--it's like they are using the Hornberger Method from Thirty Rock.

    You all are giving Trump too much credit for strategy.

    What sort of corruption are you accusing her of?

    at a minimum accepting a $25k bribe/campaign donation to make the Trump U scam problem go away. And it's not an accusation, it's all quite public. Why would she try to hide it or feel shameful? It's totally on brand for the maga faithful.

    I'd encourage you to read the book. He actually makes a strong case. I know you won't but if you want to I'll even provide a link. We might actually be able to have an interesting conversation if you did but otherwise I guess we'll stick with pointless snark that accomplishes nothing.

    okay----'cordin' to the trustworthy nooz owwtlett you can trust, K-malla left DC with no one officially in charge, and sat on a plane for hours that landed in Ho-woy-ya. Prolly for a debriefing by her sponsors. Also, giving her a grocery list of bad things she & Joe can do, before they leave office. Like, pardon several thousand thugs who were allegedly "rongfully convikked", cuz dey dindu nuffin. Stuff like that. Also, the Harris's & yObammas need to have a group photo on the beach in their swimwear. Yup. Ha.

    That’s pretty bad, although less so than Gratz. So it’s a sort of improvement.

    I read “Generations” about ten years ago, but wasn’t terribly impressed. It seemed to me they cherry picked various historical events to support the thesis that identity politics can be applied to birth cohorts. I don’t think history can be reduced to simple waves, cycles or trends.

    So you read a completely different book and found it to be lacking for the point I was trying to make. Got it. Go back to your bourbon or whatever it is that you use to pretend that it doesn't matter who is president and we'll both be fine. Because I'm now 100% certain you won't bother reading the book I suggested. And honestly that's fine. You're probably not up to a discussion of it.
