  1. Quick guide to parsing our incoming president’s cabinet nominations: If establishment hacks such as card-carrying blob member D. Daniels think they are great and qualified (see: Rubio, little Marco), they are actually awful and will continue the current bipartisan policies of endless war and never-ending growth of the surveillance state. If they are freaking out and using their unlimited access to establishment media to attack a nomination (see: Gabbard, Lt. Col. Tulsi), that’s how you can tell this is someone who will fight, fight, fight against the blob and actually change things.

    1. Oh Richard, what nonsense. I see you said similar things about Pierre Atlas’ thoughts, and it is nonsense there as well.
      What you need to do, if you disagree with their opinions, is post a comment that explains carefully why you think Hegseth, Gabbard, RFK Jr, and Kash Patel are qualified for the jobs they seek. I think it will take more than one thought.
