The RNC is tired of paying for Trump’s lawyers, so he put them at the top of the DOJ so they can continue to protect him and conduct his business.
Matt Gaetz is completely unqualified to be AG. He was chosen because he is under qualified to be AG and will need advisement in a department that will have to function without a rudder. He has to modify policies to continue to carry on with minors and no longer face legal peril.
All Trump’s choices so far are too under qualified for any of the positions they are appointed. But, that is what Trump wants. People confused about the power they hold so he can be the all knowing, all seeing patriarch that can advise them, when in fact, he is grossly under qualified, too old, and completely outside the legal definition of sane as he has been all his life.
Trump’s executive branch is always going to be doing the wrong thing. Always. The Republican legislature will have to lead and put up with Trump’s grand standing. Thune was a good choice for the Senate leadership. Johnson is a known entity. They both need to recognize the strength of the leadership of a strongly bipartisan legislature that is putting the American people first as well as their national security.
I think we have reached a point in governance in the legislature where a government shutdown is out of the question. Johnson has come out a winner in standing up to MAGA. No one should diminish the importance of that fact. The legislature is not as far out on the edge as some of its members are. The legislature can put the crackpot courts on their heels, too. They need to take care of the country because the Executive Branch has a slumlord in office who has never known good management practices so much as gangland style corruption that serves his own interests. Trump is a convinced criminal as well as owning high liability in his personal dealings. That cannot be erased.
The USA government at all levels will not be a circus with Trump as ringmaster. Governors need to protect their citizens. They are the people’s first line of defense. Governors are powerful people.
I saw the article about Musk’s trans daughter (click here). She doesn’t trust him with her life. Seriously, now. What the heck is in that White House?
