There is, I believe, a third goal as well: Trump is attempting to weaken the independent power of Congress and particularly the Senate. He would like it to become the equivalent of the Duma in Russia, which is essentially a rubber stamp for Putin. This is a fundamental part of Trump’s attempt to become an authoritarian leader, and he believes that is what the public wants him to be. He may be right about that. 
 

These appointments are designed to force the Senate to bend to Trump’s will. There is every reason to believe that they will do so.

Looks like Gaetz is withdrawing. I’m thinking Trump played y’all again.

Maybe its 4-D chess.  By nominating Gaetz he gets Gaetz out of the House so he cannot lead another insurrection against leadership stalling agendas for months while he has his little fits.  He also gets any uncomfortable headlines about child trafficing by a repub to go away as the House report will probably then not be released.  Then, if he is confirmed, fine by Trump, he has a rabid attack dog on his team looking to make a name for himself, and if he doesn't get confirmed, well good riddance to bad rubbish.

 

(BTW the foregoing is all wild imaginings as the thought of Trump playing any kind of chess seems unlikely. He is more of a Chutes and Ladders, Candyland, or Hi Ho Cherry-O kind of guy.)

Gaetz is gone, for now.  I hope forever.

Trump has a new fragrance out. It’s called Victory. It has the air of strength and success. Only 119.00

Last summer before our draft, I asked one of my league mates, who also happened to have won the most recent title, a question we ask each other annually: what color panties are you wearing and what do they smell like?

He said "they're blue with pink polka dots and they smell like victory. I just sharted."

I'd bet these two "victory" scents are quite similar.

Jerry would rather go with the personal attacks and bored drama instead of having a serious discussion in his serious discussion thread after I ripped him apart on tariffs.

You didn't rip anything apart.  Every thought you have is straight off a Google search.  You don't even need to be here.  It's just arguing with a search engine.

So you think Japan puts a 100% tariff on us cars too?  Makes sense given that you don't think the covid vaccine is a vaccine.

Here @jerryskids another article on how musk transformed x into a right wing echo chamber 

https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/elon-musk-turned-x-trump-echo-chamber-rcna174321

To summarize this NBC Leftie article:

- Pre-Musk Twitter became a left-wing echo chamber, and they suspended a bunch of right wing accounts for crap reasons

- Musk bought Twitter, unsuspended those folks, and encouraged open dialog

- Lefties said "oh noes, you can't change our echo chamber!  We're taking our ball and leaving!"

- The result was a net increase in Rightie posts, which inevitably leads to more such posts being elevated

- Musk has published the algorithm they use as open source, but there must be something else dambit!  We just can't figure it out!

- Musk probably tweaked things to elevate his exposure because he is an egotistical person.  Therefore, something else is going on!

- Ergo, Musk created a right-wing echo chamber.  QED

Linda Marie McMahon (/məkˈmæn/; née Edwards; born October 4, 1948) is an American politician, business executive and retired professional wrestler. She was the 25th administrator of the Small Business Administration from 2017 to 2019. McMahon has been nominated to lead the Department of Education under the second Trump administration.

McMahon, along with her husband, Vince McMahon, founded sports entertainment company Titan Sports, Inc. (later World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.) where she worked as the president and later CEO from 1980 to 2009. During this time, the company grew from a regional business in the northeast to a large multinational corporation. Among other things, she initiated the company's civic programs, Get R.E.A.L. and SmackDown! Your Vote. She made occasional on-screen performances, most notably in a feud with her husband that culminated at WrestleMania X-Seven.

In 2009, McMahon left World Wrestling Entertainment to run for a seat in the United States Senate from Connecticut as a Republican, but lost to Democrat Richard Blumenthal in the 2010 general election. She was the Republican nominee for Connecticut's other Senate seat in the 2012 race, but lost to Democrat Chris Murphy.

On December 7, 2016, Donald Trump (president-elect at the time) announced that he would nominate McMahon to be administrator of the Small Business Administration. The Senate confirmation hearing began on January 24, 2017, and on February 1, her nomination was approved by the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship with an 18–1 vote and confirmed by the full Senate on February 14, by a vote of 81–19.

On March 29, 2019, the Trump administration announced McMahon would step down as the administrator of the Small Business Administration to assume new responsibilities within President Trump's reelection campaign, and the resignation took effect on April 12. On April 15, she was named chairwoman of America First Action, a pro-Trump Super PAC.

On November 19, 2024, McMahon was nominated by Donald Trump to serve as Secretary of Education.^[2]

Lots of good business and political experience (except for losing Senate races in Connecticut, but a Republican in Connecticut, probably never had a chance).

Trump didn't want an educator from the swamp, McMahon appears to fit the bill.

And she actually does have some relevant background:
 

Quote

 

McMahon served on the Connecticut Board of Education for a year starting in 2009. She told lawmakers at the time that she had a lifelong interest in education and once planned to become a teacher, a goal that fell aside after her marriage.

She also spent years on the board of trustees for Sacred Heart University in Connecticut.

Linda McMahon, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s choice for education secretary, has been accused in a recent lawsuit of failing to stop a ringside announcer for World Wrestling Entertainment from grooming and sexually abusing children in the 1980s and 1990s.

It does not accuse Ms. McMahon of sexual misconduct.
