Friday, December 06, 2024

Donald Trump is having a complete meltdown over the fact that his transition plans are completely falling apart and showing the country just how horrible he is as a leader.

We're going to lose the first amendment.

Trump hates it, so it must be amended.

It's clear that Donald's peculiarities, such as sheer incompetence, are getting in his way.

Good news for the country. Hope he falls apart before we do.

It's not a sufficient meltdown until Trump flips a desk or throws a chair. And it has to be on live tv.

The Ketchup is scared to death!

But Loony Loomer and M. 'Trailor' Green are fighting over him now, so he may calm down.

From the cited transcript...

... Donald Trump is having an absolute meltdown over the fact that his cabinet picks continue to go down in flames. First it was Matt Gaetz.

Of course, now we've got all the horrible news about Pete Hegseth that threatens his nomination. Kosh Patel is already ruffling a lot of feathers.

Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Linda McMahon. All of these people are facing a very tough confirmation process, but things are even worse than that because in several instances now, Donald Trump has either had to pull his nominee or has had the nominee back out themselves.

And because of that, papers across the country, particularly in this instance, the Wall Street Journal, have done stories about it because you know, that's a big black eye for Donald Trump.

This is your transition period. You just won the election. Republicans got the house, they got the Senate, they got you. This is your show of strength, and you're failing. ...

I am not sure why Pres-elect Trump may be surprised at these developments.

He has been picking nominees based upon unfettered fealty and benefit of their services' to himto him, and not based upon their services' benefit of Americans.

Why is he surprised that Americans seem to be concerned about an apparent Trump Oath?

Pete Hegseth Torched For Defiant Comment About Who He Answers To

... Pete Hegseth faced backlash on social media after he offered a defiant statement to reporters about his scandal-ridden push to become secretary of defense.

"This will not be a process tried in the media. I don't answer to anyone in this group. None of you, not to that camera at all," he told reporters on Capitol Hill.

"I answer to President Trump, who received 76 million votes ... and a mandate for change," he continued. "I answer to the 50 " the 100 senators who are part of this process and those in the committee. And I answer to my Lord and Savior, and my wife and my family."

Hegseth is battling to keep his chances afloat amid mounting allegations of misconduct, including accusations of sexual impropriety, excessive drinking and financial mismanagement of two veterans nonprofits he ran.

President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly mulling other candidates to replace Hegseth, who was a Fox News host until Trump picked him for the Pentagon job last month.

His comment irked critics, who noted that he's gunning for a job that is appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate to serve the interests of the American public. ...

[emphasis mine]

Okay, if Pres-elect Trump wants the media to stop reporting the stupid things his nominees say and have said, maybe, just maybe, he should choose nominees who do not make such insanely idiotic statements.

Just a suggestion, one similar to others I've made previously ...

imo, this thread is an important one.

Pres-elect Trump was elected to serve the people of the United States.

Now, he seems to have issues with the approach he has been taking for that leadership?

Maybe he should take a step back and re-evaluate the situation.

And stop whining.

Presidents of the United States should not whine.

They should lead, not only the United States, but the free world.

...
Little sister, don't you, little sister, don't you
Little sister, don't you kiss me once or twice
Tell me that's it nice and then you run
Yeah, little sister, don't you do what your big sister done

[Verse 1]
You know, I dated your big sister
Oh, I took her to the show
Hey, I went for some candy, along came Jim Dandy
And they slipped right out the door
...

Interesting rendition of what seems to be an older song ...
