Trump's INSANE cabinet picks just got VERY BAD news
A now-deleted tweet from journalist Jane Mayer claimed that Mitch McConnell stated there would be no recess appointments for Donald Trump’s cabinet picks, triggering backlash from Trump supporters. The controversy highlights the uphill battle Trump’s nominees, such as Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard, face in securing Senate confirmation due to their contentious backgrounds and reputations. While some speculate these picks could be strategic sacrificial candidates meant to pave the way for more acceptable choices, the Trump team appears to be making them in earnest. Trump likely selected these picks for their loyalty and willingness to carry out his agenda, even at the expense of broader support from Republicans in Congress.
Health guru RFK in visible pain as he eats McDonald's with Trump
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was pictured eating McDonald's on Donald Trump’s plane, alongside Trump, Elon Musk, Donald Trump Jr., and Mike Johnson, drawing criticism given RFK Jr.’s previous opposition to fast food. The image, showing RFK Jr. visibly uncomfortable with his food, has sparked mockery, considering his appointment to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Critics argue that the scene highlights the absurdity of Trump’s plan to improve America’s health through controversial figures like RFK Jr.

Trump hires BLOODTHIRSTY PRO-WAR Secretary of Defense
Donald Trump, despite his anti-war claims, has chosen Fox and Friends co-host Pete Hegseth, a vocal advocate for military interventions, as a potential Secretary of Defense. Hegseth’s calls for strikes against Iran and North Korea contradict Trump’s rhetoric, raising concerns about his influence. Critics see three outcomes: Hegseth aligns with Trump, pushes a hawkish agenda, or is fired like many predecessors. His lack of qualifications and lobbying for pardons of war crimes heighten fears, with his extreme positions drawing comparisons to dangerous neocons from the Bush and first Trump administrations.

DESPERATE for fresh face, Dems look at Newsom, Buttigieg, Shapiro?
Following the Democrats' poor election performance, speculation has begun about potential 2028 presidential candidates. Key names include Gavin Newsom and Josh Shapiro, both of whom have been praised for their political messaging and public speaking skills. Pete Buttigieg is noted for his intellect and debating ability but faces questions about whether the country would elect a gay president. Kamala Harris, despite her capabilities, may face challenges running again having lost the 2024 election. Other possibilities include Tim Walz, Andy Beshear, J.B. Pritzker, Wes Moore, and even outsider names like Jon Stewart, reflecting diverse considerations of identity, notoriety, and public appeal.
