For the last two weeks I’ve been rationing my news intake and watching, reading and listening to a lot of comedy, trying to retain my sanity in a country that appears to be losing its collective mind.
But I’m enough in touch to know that the unqualified huckster who was elected president two weeks ago has started nominating a veritable clown car full of unqualified white men for his cabinet. I wrote on that last week.
He’s threatening GOP senators who don’t agree to adjourn for at least 10 days so he can just name whoever he wants with no input from the legislature. The constitutionality of this is suspect, to say the least. Then again, he seems to have at least six members of SCOTUS in his pocket.
They’ve already ruled that he’s immune from prosecution for anything he does that can be described as an official act, something that completely flabbergasted me.
Since I originally posted the text version of this column, his nominee for Attorney General (I was planning on calling him AG Butthead)1 has dropped out and the AG of Florida has been put forward, so the clown car is full of white men with one blond MAGA white woman in there. I hope she’s wearing full armor and carrying a cattle prod.

I don’t know, and I doubt you do
