These are not serious cabinet nominations (or rather, abominations). And they are not meant to be.
It is an attempt to propose a cabinet so absurd that even Republicans will oppose it, and then Trump will force them to bend the knee and swear that it is the most wonderful, beautiful cabinet ever nominated. This is a tool of imposing his will; his total control, and demanding total obedience. It goes beyond a “loyalty test.”
It goes way beyond a mere loyalty test. It is a FEALTY test.
Pete Hegseth, a rapist bully who feels threatened by strong women in military combat roles, to blow up the U.S. Dept. of Defense and weaken us to the benefit of our enemies
Tulsi Gabbard1 to blow up National Intelligence agencies
Matt Gaetz2 to blow up the U.S. Dept. of Justice
RFK Jr (and his brain worm) to blow up health and kill off Americans
Who benefits from blowing up all U.S. national security agencies more than Vladimir Putin?
1 A former on-air contributor of Russia-owned propaganda channel RT (Russia Today), whose Russian hosts described her as “our girlfriend Tulsi” and a “Russian agent” who repeatedly repeated false and misleading Russian propaganda
2 Withdrawn and replaced by former Florida Attorney General and Trump impeachment lawyer Pam Bondi. Gaetz will either return to the house (where he was just elected to the new term beginning in January) or offered a new position that doesn’t require senate confirmation.
Eight years ago around this p9int, Michael Che (on SNL Weekend Update) surmised that Trump made all his cabinet picks on the basis of “You know what would be hilarious?”
It’s disconcerting to me when I realize that I live in a nation of what must be sadistic and masochistic voters. Many voted for the felon candidate knowing how incompetent he is and integrity challenged he is, but voted for him anyway. His last administration was a disaster. They couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a qualified candidate. :-( :-(
I wonder – the art of the con is distraction. Are these ridiculous nominations to keep our eyes and minds occupied whilst something even worse is occurring?
Frankly, I think these are all scapegoats when they are unable to enact Trump’s promises. Trump will turn on them, fire them and promise the next ones will be better. Look forward to four years of this and another possible pandemic.

Let’s see what it will take to kick them out/resign in less than a year.

Love the signs on the buildings! Hang on everybody, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Most of us can’t do anything but sit back and watch.

I’m not surprised that, on the very day President Biden pardoned turkeys, Trump nominated them for his cabinet.
