"All the cabinet picks and staffing announcements this week prove that the Jeremiahs among us were right in advance — and what might be left will be lament in the coming rubble."

"Trump's choice of Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard for top roles signals darkness and chaos ahead. … This shows right off the bat that MAGA chaos is going to reign."

Several of them tell me that getting their parents, other elders, friends of that generation, to acknowledge that they made a colossal mistake in colluding with the Nazis was never possible. Their parents and elders could not and would not admit that they had made horrible choices even when the error of their ways was glaringly obvious in the destroyed nation all around them.

Helping to usher in a fascist regime, as many Germans did in the Nazi period, inevitably leads to chaos, rubble, destruction — including for the very people who made the decision to help the process.

But getting people to see the folly of their very stupid, blind choices even when everything is in rubble around them: that's not easy.

I have German friends who were children during WWII.

Let's hope. Let's hope that the chaos Trump is inducing, his attempt to break the government and expose it to ridicule — serving Putin's wildest dreams — shows many of us including some Republicans who a clown show he runs.

I have my doubts, though, that his supporters will see any of this anytime soon. I doubt, frankly, that the chaos they've willingly helped set in motion, which will immiserate them along with their "enemies," will open their eyes.

"Yes. It’s horrible. Everything is horrible. But this Gaetz nomination (along with the other two) may finally convince people that Trump really is the menace to America that Democrats and never-Trumpers have been warning he was. There may be no better person than Gaetz to convince the Republicans who hate him how poor Trump’s judgment is."

Barely a week ago, #MattGaetz was re-elected to the House. Now another election is being called to replace him. He didn't even last one Scaramouche and Florida voters are being asked to vote yet again

On Friday there was going to be a vote on whether or not to release the House Ethics Committee's findings from their report. Something real fishy is going on here, and it's looking more and more like Gaetz might not survive the Senate Confirmation Hearing

I see that all of the #TrumpAppointments are coming from Boris and Natasha's Villains, Thieves, and Scoundrels Union. When anyone with any qualifications won't come near Trump, all that's left are wackos, grifters, and idiots. #mattgaetz #TulsiGabbard #elonmusk #vivekramaswamy
