    And do you think there will be a single Republican willing to do anything about it?

    Mark my words, they will vote 100% in lockstep every single time. And if what Trump is doing is illegal (like that matters anyway), they’ll just write legislation to make it legal. Not a single one of them is going to even think about criticizing him, out of fear of either violence, political suicide, or both.

    The government will be crammed with unqualified hacks from top to bottom. The corruption will be open and blatant.

    And every single Republican senator will vote to confirm. Every single time.

    RFK in charge of healthcare. Musk in charge of spending. Aileen cannon is either getting the AG job or a Supreme Court seat. Whichever one she doesn’t get, Alina Hobba gets. Steve Bannon gets pardoned and gets communications director. Alex Jones is probably going to crawl out from whatever rock he crawled under too.

    They’ll all get jobs. The Senate will confirm them all. And far-right conspiracy theories will become official US policy.

      There may be one or two, but as soon as they imprison or execute one (my bet is that it will be Kinzinger), they’ll all fall in line. Or mysteriously vanish.

      Jones hasn’t crawled under any rocks, he’s been going strong even with a billion dollar judgement against him and filing for bankruptcy. Infowars is being auctioned off in a week so it might be bought by someone who will just keep him exactly where he is, but he’s been openly setting up a backup business and directing people to it, which he’s said ON AIR he’ll just fold into the existing business if all goes well. His dad has a completely independent supplement company and he’s got completely unaffiliated mates selling his merch.

      The only reason he’s less prominent now is because the politicians and the mainstream media in the US are so fucking unhinged that he’s struggling to stay relevant in his niche.

      Alex Jones is probably going to crawl out from whatever rock he crawled under too.

      White House Press Secretary Alex Jones is an Onion article that writes itself, 3 times a week
