President Elect Trump

There is a small part of me that is looking forward to the chaos.

Indeed. "We're going to make you all redundant. Unfortunately, there won't be anyone left to process your unemployment benefit claims." The stuff mass protests are made of.

Perhaps Trump enthusiasts should be mindful of the old adage - 'be careful what you wish for'.

Apparently, he has never worked as a prosecutor. He has a law degree. Big deal.
I'm not sure what emotions are appropriate when we hear these two drongos, Trump and Gaetz, rabbiting on about "rooting out fraud" etc. All I can look forward to is a bit of NS's Schadenfreude as the highly likely disasters ensue.

It also stops the inquiry into his behaviour, perhaps Trump just thought it would be good to have someone who has been in a similar position to him in the role.

To be fair, the Dems had a man who thought you can become a woman as Assistant Health Secretary.

Those at risk from lethal viruses amount to millions. Those who wish for possibly very dubious gender realignment are not quite on that scale.

The point is surely the principle of health appointees who believe in ideological positions?

No, the point is who is going to do the most damage to humanity. I would argue it is the anti-vaxer.

One consolation is that Kennedy looks and sounds even more knackered and crumbly than Biden. Living proof of his grasp of health-related matters in his own person.

'Editor-in-chief of Scientific American resigns following expletive-filled rant against Trump voters' - I imagine this may not be the last such resignation.

Matt Gaetz drops out from consideration for Attorney General, that went well.

Seems strange that he didn't go with Bondi first. The attempt at appointing Gaetz though might be seem as more of a test case to see how much he could do. Interesting that Gaetz now has to decide whether to fight his seat having resigned.

It doesn't get more tacky than this - Trump Guitars. They electrics are clearly Les Paul rip-offs, and with a disclaimer that they are not associated with Gibson Guitars (the Les Paul is one of their flagship models). It seems that Gibson aren't impressed.
