We are on Day -67 on a second Trump administration.

We already have:

• An anti-vaxxer with self-proclaimed brainworms as HHS secretary, given as part of a deal for him dropping out of the Presidential race.
• An alleged sex trafficker who is under investigation for various crimes including having sex with minors as AG, giving Trump an AG that will do his bidding without having to go through a Saturday Night Massacre since Trump can just use the trafficking case as leverage to keep him in line.
• An ambassador to Israel who believes Palestinians don't exist.
• Demands from Trump that the Senate immediately go into recess upon Trump's inauguration so Trump can appoint "recess appointments", amid reports that several potential picks are too extreme even by some far-right standards.
• A "government efficiency czar" or whatever term he made up for it headed by a man who has already said he intends to cut the budget by $2 trillion and inflict hardship on poor people "for their own good".
• Several prominent GOP figures admitting that they were lying about Project 2025 all along and there's no reason to lie about it any more since voters can't do anything about it now.
• Judges across the country pausing J6-related cases, citing the inevitability of Trump pardons for the rioters.

Bribery is now legal. The corruption is now blatant and open. Lies are now worn as a badge of honor. The winners are saying the corruption will continue and is now the new normal. They have seized control and have purged anyone who would have dared to speak up, let alone do anything about it.

And remember, we're not even on day one yet. There's still a little over 2 months before the Trump HateTrain 2.0 really takes off.

This isn't going to be pretty.

As a Canadian, it's like I'm watching an alternate reality develop, and I'm afraid it's going to infect us...

All you "we got through Trump last time, we can do it again, it's not that bad" people:

Notice how the picks this time are significantly crazier and more dangerous? Yeah we fucking told you it's different this time, and it absolutely is. I hope you all get fucking rabies.

Denier, not skeptic. Skeptics are rational and respond to evidence and argument.

Not that the media care, but they always over-dignify these fools.

Draining the swamp directly into his cabinet.

From what I've heard... he said he won't ban vaccines, but things can change.

I hope Cheryl Hines divorces him soon... unless she thinks she can coerce his decision-making.

Get ahead of the curve and give yourself worms now.

I’ll be a liiiiitle surprised if even the GOP senate allows him through

But have you considered that both sides bad?

Yeah this sucks, but on the other hand, it'd be much harder for Vance to 25th Trump if Trump's cabinet are all personally-loyal toadies.

That's what I'm choosing to believe, anyway.
