- damnesian 2y agoOz is a quack. so the appointment makes sense.
- quantified 2y agoDr. Oz to run medicare and medicaid. Where is Bozo the Clown to run OSHA? Oh wait, we can get Krampas.
- WheelsAtLarge 2y agoI don't believe he's selecting the worst candidates; rather, I think he's choosing individuals he is familiar with. It seems he's decided to disregard advice from people outside his inner circle. We all know that Trump has been very popular on television, which is likely influencing his choices. He's reaching out to people he knows and those who have been close to him and will be loyal to him. In his previous administration, he had advisors to help him make these selections, but this time it appears he is doing it all on his own.
- kccoder 2y agoBoth can be true at the same time. Is it any surprise that trump would be familiar with the worst people?
- WheelsAtLarge 2y agoThat's true, valid point.
- danny_codes 2y agoIs there a word for a government selected for it's comedic value?
- java-man 2y agoIdiocracy?

- joezydeco 2y agoAt this point I'll take incompetence over malice.
- alextofu 2y agoLooming in the background of all this incompetence is the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, a rather malicious document -- sure to be implemented -- that will cause an enormous amount of harm to a huge number of Americans, as well as to the environment.
- joezydeco 2y agoIt's starting to become clear that the buffoons are being put in charge of agencies that don't matter to the republicans, and the P2025 authors are being put into agencies, like the FCC, that forward the agenda.
- alextofu 2y agoWe are entering Peak Puppet Government. The flashy facelifted puppets go on TV. The suits in the shadows regress our nation back to 1950 by reconfiguring or dismantling Federal oversight agencies. I'm terrified. I'm glad I don't have kids, and I'm glad my mother has private insurance. But I'm terrified. If they decide to invalidate a few more Constitutional Amendments, will I lose my right to vote, being a woman and person of color? Will I lose my birthright citizenship? P2025 policies suggest I might, if they decide my parents, one being a naturalized immigrant, the other the descendant of enslaved Americans, are invalid citizens. Will I lose my job? Will I lose the right to clean air and clean water? There is so much uncertainty. It's funny now. But I'm scared of what the US will look like in a decade because of policies coming in 2025.
