"Senior officers in the U.S. military are preparing after reports of a potential new review process for top generals, a review they fear will vet personal loyalty to President-elect Donald Trump."
“Why would a country not retaliate?” asked Brian Kuehl, executive director of Farmers For Free Trade, a nonprofit organization that advocates free trade. “Everybody’s going to look out for their interest, and if you start hitting them with tariffs, they’ll start hitting you back. That’s what a trade war is.”
"U.S. farm industry groups want Presidunce-elect Spanky to spare their sector from his promise of mass deportations, which could upend a food supply chain heavily dependent on immigrants in the United States illegally.
So far Trump officials have not committed to any exemptions, according to interviews with farm and worker groups and Trump's incoming "border czar" Tom Homan.
Nearly half of the nation's approximately 2 million farm workers lack legal status, according to the departments of Labor and Agriculture, as well as many dairy and meatpacking workers."
"Presidunce-elect Spanky has nominated a key architect of the right-wing Project 2025 planning document, Russell Vought, to return as head of the Office of Management and Budget. The Trump loyalist wrote the chapter of Project 2025 that lays out how to redefine the executive branch by firing thousands of civil servants. He has also supported deploying the military domestically. ProPublica reporter Molly Redden has recently published an investigation on Vought and the ideology he will bring to Washington, D.C. She explains that as head of OMB, Vought will be able to push Trump’s anti-regulatory agenda and help him to ignore Congress, concentrating power in the hands of the executive branch."
"Nesehiewat is at least relatively qualified and she’s somewhat supportive of vaccines. But perhaps her most important qualification to the narcissist in chief-elect is that she “has expressed frequent support for Spanky, sharing photos of them together on her social media pages,” as per ABC News. She also knows how to ca$h in. She promotes dietary supplements on her website, Politico notes.
Makary is far more problematic. Besides being utterly unqualified for the job, as MSNBC’s Dr. Vin Gupta explains below, Makary is an anti-masker who wanted more emphasis on “herd immunity” against COVID-19, meaning that “mass infections would quickly lead to population-level protection,” ABC News reported. You can read that as “mass deaths will eventually protect the rest of us.”
"Trumpworld is a crime scene, a tableau lifted from Goodfellas. Joshua Green of Bloomberg nailed that in The Devil’s Bargain, his 2017 take on Trump’s winning campaign. The gang was always transgressive; fear and violence part of its repertoire."
The Trump / Ukrainescandal was a political scandal that arose primarily from the discovery of U.S. Presidunce Spanky's attempts to coerceUkraine into investigating his political rival Joe Biden and thus potentially damage Biden's campaign for the 2020 Democratic Party presidential nomination. Spanky enlisted surrogates in and outside his administration, including personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr, to pressure Ukraine and other governments to cooperate in supporting and legitimizing the bogusBiden / Ukraineconspiracy theory and other conspiracy theories concerning US politics. Trump blocked payment of a congressionally-mandated $400 Million military aid package, in an attempt to obtain quid pro quo cooperation from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Contacts were established between the White House and government of Ukraine, culminating in a call between Trump and Zelenskyy on July 25, 2019."
