    What are they fucking baffled about? What is it they think they voted for?!

      Some are disingenuous, Susan Collin style.

      Others are genuine, utter dipshits.

    We’ll see how baffled they really are after they unanimously approve him.

    This is not as surprising to me as him picking a Fox News host to be the secretary of defense.

      Neither is too surprising to me, but the TV star less so. A TV host picking another TV host to be in his cabinet was what I was expecting in 2016.

        He definitely wanted to, but there were still people around to tell him “no” back then. Not any more.

    They’ll be as “concerned” as Susan Collins for 4(+) years, won’t they.

    Did they think his cognitive decline and bad decision making was exclusively directed at democrats?

    Trump’s M.O.: Try to do the craziest thing that you can think of. If it doesn’t work, people will be more accepting of the 2nd craziest thing you can think of. Repeat.

    Russian asset.

    Trump doesn’t want any more nudes of his wife getting shared so Putin is calling these shots no, no question.

    Just a reminder to some members of the GOP. It was ‘America First’ and not ‘Fist America’.

    Are they baffled that he kept his promise to put his supporters in charge so he could do whatever he wants or the Democrats were right?
