1. Fealty to Trump is the only requirement for a cabinet position.

Apart from also being melanin-deprived, of course (unless it's the one single Black job, HUD Secretary, because of course "urban" means "Black" since that's where those people live). So, in another predictable act of affirmative action for mediocre White people, we're getting a violent drunk with no relevant experience at DoD, a corrupt suck-up as AG, a Russian asset and Assad fangirl as DNI, an anti-vaxxer with brain worms for HHS, spectacularly inadequate Little Marco at State, a Cruella DeVille clone who's banned from Native reservations in her home state for DHS, a conspiracy theorist who hates the FBI as FBI Director, a fossil fuel advocate for DoE, an oil drilling enthusiast for Interior, and so on.

It's like they held a contest to see who could come up with the worst possible people. It's not only horrifying, it's agonizingly embarrassing. Trump's previous cabinet was a revolving door - few of them lasted more than a year - but if these numpties leave or get fired they'll be replaced with someone just as bad, or worse. I feel like God or karma or who/whatever is in charge (could it be...Satan?) is really fucking with us this time.
