Sadly, you'll need to be more specific.

[-] HomerianSymphony@lemmy.world 40 points 2 weeks ago

The one who knocked up a 12 year old when he was 19, and who claims their son (that he raised) is her brother.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Is that who Nestor is?

[-] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Do you have a source for this?

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

The one who people with morals is baffled is even allowed to BE in politics.

[-] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 14 points 2 weeks ago

Isn’t that a foundational plank of the Republican Party?

[-] Arsecroft 8 points 2 weeks ago

the one who looks like a real life version of a character from a cartoon

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Not only people with morals, but even Republicans are baffled.

[-] Orbituary@lemmy.world 107 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 36 points 2 weeks ago

Some are disingenuous, Susan Collin style.

Others are genuine, utter dipshits.

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 67 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 54 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's fine, I got a bottle of booze set aside for when WE3 or American Civil War: 2 Dumb 2 Prevent kick-starts our final doom.

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 52 points 2 weeks ago

They'll be as "concerned" as Susan Collins for 4(+) years, won't they.

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 weeks ago

Bet they'll vote to confirm. Assuming they get the chance anyway.

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 42 points 2 weeks ago

Man, the US is going to be such a fucking clown show for the next 4 years. Holy shit.

[-] teamevil@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

If we're lucky, unfortunately this clown car was just purposely driven off a cliff willingly, because the rich have an insurance policy worth more than the idiot clowns they convinced to drive off the cliff.... problem is we're going to get totaled in the clown car, all of us reading this.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Don't worry, the rich people aren't in the car and will be safely flying overhead while we crash and burn.

[-] dyathinkhesaurus@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Bold to assume it's just 4 years before voters get another shot at unfucking all of this? 😉

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

😬😬😬😬

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 13 points 2 weeks ago

It gives me flashbacks to his first term, many mooches ago.

He's going to play the Apprentice role again, in which he tries to increase tv ratings by randomly hiring and firing as many people as possible in every episode.

[-] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

What's a mooche for you??? Just curious, there's a song called The Mooche.

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 8 points 2 weeks ago

It's the meme timeframe for employees under Trump. It's about 10 days, but really -3 days.

Trump hired Anthony Scarramucci (The Mooch) as White House Communications Director to start on August 2017.

As a good boi, he started the job right away on July 21, leaving his pregnant wife at the hospital.

Trump then hired John Kelly and John Kelly fired the Mooch on July 28.

[-] RecursiveParadox@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Bold of you to assume there will be free and fair elections in four years.

[-] RagingSnarkasm@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

You think they’ll stop at four years? I wish I had your optimism, friend.

[-] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

4 years? Good God, that is an incorrect timeline.

[-] randon31415@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Depends on how long Big Mac Don lives. Republicans first got elected when the democratic party split into 3 different branches with 3 different presidential candidates. I could see something like that happening in the near future with the republicans.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 34 points 2 weeks ago

How are they baffled at Trump doing Trump stuff?

[-] Altomes@lemm.ee 33 points 2 weeks ago

Whaaaat, the man who told us what he’d do for years is now going to do it!? Wiiiiiilllllld /s

[-] Eggyhead@fedia.io 24 points 2 weeks ago

With a yes man here and a yes man there, here a yes, there a yes, everywhere a yes, yes. Old Macdonald had a farm…

[-] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago

Old BigMac Donald had a farm…

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago

Baffled how?

Like the cup game?

[-] monkeyman69@lemmynsfw.com 20 points 2 weeks ago

Those Leopards are gonna be stuffed to bursting!

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 17 points 2 weeks ago
[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world -4 points 2 weeks ago

Is that the one where Pizza Hut raped a bunch of minors???

.....wait, that can't be right. Was it dominoes that raped the minors? Oh, I remember now. It was the noid. Avoid the noid....because he'll rape your children. Yeah, that makes more sense.

.......or was it Little Ceasars pizza pizza guy?

[-] randon31415@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Russian asset.

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

[-] AmidFuror@fedia.io 8 points 2 weeks ago

In fairness, those nudes have been out for years.

[-] andallthat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

and they might even be Donald's only remaining chance to see her naked

[-] venusaur@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

The same people who were concerned about the equity of affirmative action

[-] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Reckless isn't the word for his perversity

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?

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Even if I survive the next four years I doubt my liver will…

[-] tal@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago

Whether or not he gets the slot, based on Trump's first term, a lot of the cabinet members aren't gonna last long anyway.
