This time next year, President Trump moves back into the Whitehouse...

Come on now, is anyone actually surprised at Donny's picks? All you have to do to get in his good books is agree with him

Look how quickly he's flipped on any previously trusted associate as soon as either they publicly disagree with him or get nicked for something.

He was notorious for it in his first term, turnover way higher than 'a normal presidency' and the number of key positions flipped more than once was again many times than 'normal'. Of course, it's so easy to turn this into a positive "someone who knows his own mind!", "so decisive!"
The problem with turnover is that there only a finite pool of (relatively) able people available. You saw that with the very erratic, and quite long, recent Conservative government - by the end they were really scraping the barrel.

And you also have the issue that the really capable people will be keeping a low profile and willl not want to be associated with Donny as they imagine it will be long term career suicide.

Some previous Trump quotes on crypto

“highly volatile and based on thin air,”
“scam,
“disaster waiting to happen”
“takes the edge off of the dollar and the importance of the dollar,”
“regulate [crypto] very, very high.”

July 2024 he states that on day one he will sack SEC Chair Gary Gensler, the man responsible for regulating crypto companies or, as Trump now sees it, 'persecuting' crypto
A few weeks later he announces his own crypto exchange (to be run by his son/s) and his own crypto coin
Let the enrichment begin...

Who is that on the left?

Who is that on the left?

Admiral Rachel Levine

Richard “Big Dick” Levine!

Admiral Rachel Levine

Ahh, a professor of paediatrics and psychology. As well as an Admiral in the US public health service.

As oppose to an anti vaccine activist and conspiracy theorist.

I’m not sure that meme is as clever as you think it is.

I don't know about you but I prefer my health professionals to display at least a basic understanding of basic biology. And there's not much that's more basic than knowing the difference between male and female.

So you view RFK as a health professional?

Does that include basic stuff like knowing about intersex (1-2% of births) and hermaphrodites?

He certainly looks as if he knows more about how to be healthy than the admiral.

That does depend on how you define intersex. Estimates range from "as high as 1.7%" to "about 0.018%" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex

I suppose which estimate you choose depends on your agenda, however, I don't think anybody is claiming that the admiral is intersex, are they? He's a man who's under the delusion that he is a woman.

Yeah, I’m certain it looks that way to you.

So not quite as simple as 'difference between'.

Recount underway in Pa, this time they're counting ballots they were already deemed illegal/invalid... & they admit they're doing it.

Absolute classic Biden at the summit...
He's so used to turning away from the podium without taking any questions & disappearing through a door at the back of the room that he did it at an outdoor podium, turned & wandered off into the jungle looking really lost.
