You’re giving too much credit to the admin. They’re a rag tag group of below average IQ wannabes. They can’t possibly be smart about everything all the time. They can only hope people will fall in line with implied threats.

- andrewflnr 1y agoI don't know, I saw fewer of those comments and more predicting this mess. It was pretty predictable.
- JeremyNT 1y agoI mean, that was leading up to the election. They wanted their tax breaks and crypto deregulation badly, and they were selling a pile of goods to everybody who would listen. Now that they've won on every level, there's not much reason to keep bullshitting or trying to manufacture consent.
- rsynnott 1y ago... Well, yeah, but why would you take any notice of HN commenters? Have you _seen_ the nonsense people spout on this website?
- abeppu 1y agoLike, I don't expect this administration to be _good_. But Trump has had a _lot_ of experience fighting with his own appointees who aren't blindly obedient (e.g. he appointed Jerome Powell in 2017 and has spent months threatening to fire him). And this person was put up for confirmation b/c the last person had to be withdrawn at the last minute. You'd think the administration would at least have a checklist to confirm that people are willing to follow orders and parrot the party line.
