    This looks like one of those superhero movies where they ran out of ideas so they just throw in every villain they can think of.

    Also it was very common in 90s beatem-ups, where the last stage was just wave after wave of the previous bosses.

      Trump is literally filling his cabinet with people he things will “trigger the libs”. It’s honestly quite beautiful watching him set himself of for complete and utter failure. This was always the state of right-wing politics, now the brainrot has full control over the Government.

      Like last time, I think the only campaign promise he’ll be able to keep will be cutting taxes for the rich. Outside of that, this admin is going to be a complete chaotic disaster.

            I think that’s the point, either switch to the person you really wanted when these get shot down or put them in and really wreck everything.

        What are the odds he appoints enough reps and/or senators that they end up the minority in at least one half of Congress?

        So, by that logic, we can probably expect Ted Cruz to be the next guy in Grover 2.0’s cabinet.
