The clown car rolls into town and our new clown overlords start pouring out.
For increasing government efficiency... the guy who burnt down Twitter. A columnist writes: "The richest person in the world is about to receive a free public education."
For head of the Defense Department... a Fox News host. For Health and Human services... how about an anti-vaxxer with a dead worm in his brain?
The clowns keep coming.
@notroot @RnDanger @johncarlosbaez Hey. He paid a lot of money for that hair!
There _used_ to be original thoughts, to be fair. But they've been displaced, pushed out by "the woke mind-virus". ;-)

“… she discovers that Washington, D.C. has been invaded by extraterrestrial insects which are eating the brains and taking control of people, including members of Congress and their staffers.”
@OscarCunningham - I disagree violently with George Will about most things but I enjoyed the headline of his column today:
"The world’s richest person is about to receive a free public education".

My pet theory is Trump is already sidelining the people he made campaign promises to. He's not the kind of guy to put two people in the same job in the hope that they'll work together. He wants a death match.
One of them will come out on top, and the other will be out of the way. Then he ignores all the advice and gets rid of the first guy as well.
@fhekland - "The deconstruction of the American empire is beginning? Maybe something better will emerge from the ashes in a, hopefully, not too distant future."
We are left hoping that. But it may burn for the rest of my life. I'm just glad I can get out. There's really nowhere far enough, but getting out of the US is a start.
@johncarlosbaez Funny, Slovakia is now catching up to USA, but we hoped it wouldn't be by USA coming to our level :D
Our kleptocratic pro-russian government actually appointed an antivaxer as the investigator of pandemic response. It was a total clownshow. Now they passed an amnesty for
all breaches of pandemic measures. All the assholes who organised gatherings during the worst of covid are now pardoned and the state will return any fines.
It may happen to you too.
please put US politics posts behind a CW - it's very easy, and it's the kind thing to do.
@johncarlosbaez I wish they'd stop referring to these people as "clowns."
Clowns are funny and harmless. These motherfuckers are anything but!
