The child rapist?
- Sadly, you'll need to be more specific.
  
  The one who knocked up a 12 year old when he was 19, and who claims their son (that he raised) is her brother.
  
  The one who people with morals is baffled is even allowed to BE in politics.
What are they fucking baffled about? What is it they think they voted for?!
- Some are disingenuous, Susan Collin style.
  Others are genuine, utter dipshits.
We'll see how baffled they really are after they unanimously approve him.
This is not as surprising to me as him picking a Fox News host to be the secretary of defense.
- 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.
  
  He definitely wanted to, but there were still people around to tell him "no" back then. Not any more.
- 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.
They'll be as "concerned" as Susan Collins for 4(+) years, won't they.
- Bet they'll vote to confirm. Assuming they get the chance anyway.
Man, the US is going to be such a fucking clown show for the next 4 years. Holy shit.
- Don't worry, the rich people aren't in the car and will be safely flying overhead while we crash and burn.
- Bold to assume it's just 4 years before voters get another shot at unfucking all of this? 😉
  
  😬😬😬😬
- 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.
  
  What's a mooche for you??? Just curious, there's a song called The Mooche.
- Bold of you to assume there will be free and fair elections in four years.
- You think they’ll stop at four years? I wish I had your optimism, friend.
- 4 years? Good God, that is an incorrect timeline.
  
  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.
How are they baffled at Trump doing Trump stuff?
Whaaaat, the man who told us what he’d do for years is now going to do it!? Wiiiiiilllllld /s
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…
- Old BigMac Donald had a farm…
Did they think his cognitive decline and bad decision making was exclusively directed at democrats?
Baffled how?
Like the cup game?
Those Leopards are gonna be stuffed to bursting!
Hey, remember pizzagate?
- 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?
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.
The same people who were concerned about the equity of affirmative action
Russian asset.
Trump doesn't want any more nudes of his wife getting shared so Putin is calling these shots no, no question.
- In fairness, those nudes have been out for years.
  
  and they might even be Donald's only remaining chance to see her naked
Just a reminder to some members of the GOP. It was 'America First' and not 'Fist America'.
Reckless isn't the word for his perversity
Even if I survive the next four years I doubt my liver will…
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?
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.
