I Must Have Fallen Asleep on November 5th and Awakened the Next Day in a Farrelly or Coen Brothers Movie

 

What I have been reading over the last week cannot be real. It must be a farcical movie produced by the Farrelly or the Coen brothers. In this movie, the dumbest, most corrupt old, obese, white man in America became our country’s president.

To add to the ridiculous overall theme, this moron selected men and women for his cabinet and closest advisors who are totally unfit for the positions offered to them, and in several situations opposed to the departments they will lead.

If this is reality, this movie will produce more tears than laughter.

Does anyone with average intelligence believe that “Little Marco Rubio” possesses any of the experience and skills necessary to hold the positions of Secretary of State? Rubio has been called the “laziest member of the Senate.” Not once has he displayed the ability to “think on his feet,” or the skills necessary to negotiate during the diplomaticl process.

Then I read about Tulsi Gabbard. She has frequently been suspected of having a working relationship with Russian agents. Trump selected her as Director of National Intelligence. Not once in her life has she and the word intelligence been spoken in the same sentence.

Trump made up his own fake department for Elon Musk. Musk knows nothing about our nation’s government or any other. He is simply an overrated mechanic.

For Secretary of Defense, one of the most important offices in the free world, Trump chose a Fox News personality. Pete Hegseth, is not only void of a single qualification for the job, he is under investigation for illegal sexual activity.

The nomination of Robert Kennedy Jr. to lead the office of Health and Human Services is under attack by nearly every health professional in our nation. He is nothing but an extremist whose personal beliefs are in opposition to scientific fact. He is a raving lunatic, and why Trump admires him.

There are others, but of all the choices made by Trump, nominating Matt Gaetz for Attorney General is the most outrageous.

Gaetz’ own personal beliefs and his lack of experience in law enforcement would prevent him from serving as our nation’s highest-ranking law enforcement officer. However, the fact that he remains under investigation for drug use and distribution, sexual misconduct with minors, and sex trafficking, should prevent him from any post in any administration.

All of this is the result of ignorant voters who elected a man who is a convicted felon, awaiting sentencing, a sexual predator, and a traitor proven by his actions before and on January 6, 2021, and his confirmed theft of national secrets in violation of the Espionage Act.

However, the United States has become a nation without laws, at least for the rich and powerful. May my esteemed America R.I.P.
