"GAME OVER, MAN! GAME OVER!!"

'Assume the worst' from Trump's 'menagerie of misfits': ex-GOP lawmakerhttps://t.co/7CXraUfWl2

 "It is very real, it is very real," Steele began. "So Donald Trump is leveling up a menagerie of misfits, people that he knows are not competent, capable, intelligent enough to do the jobs that he is giving them."

Yes, yes.  And how do thorough-going incompetents (I lump Elmo and Ramaswamy into the mix, as well) manage to crash vast bureaucracies?  Does Trump truly fire all the attorneys in the DOJ, grinding all criminal prosecutions to a halt?  Drugs, illegal immigration, all manner of federal crime, stop being prosecuted?  Really?  Social Security stops sending out checks, Medicare stops paying claims/collecting premiums, National Parks fire all the rangers and declare their lands open for development?

By the way, who is Trump proposing for the Treasury?  Does even Trump want to fuck with the money?

Is RFK, Jr. really going to repeal laws and regulations regarding public health, down to the state level?  Who gives him such power?  Anybody? Anybody?  Bueller...Ferris Bueller...?

After sharing a clip of Trump confidant Steve Bannon threatening, "We are going to burn some of these institutions down to the ground because you know why? They need to be burned down to the ground," Steele added, "The deconstruction of the administrative state has been a key calling card for those acolytes around Donald trump. Donald Trump is probably more or less agnostic in most cases. What is your take on what you are seeing with these potential cabinet secretaries running agencies that affect the health of the American people and the national security of our country?"

"Assume the worst," Walsh replied. "Assume the most sinister. In this era of Trump over the last nine or 10 years, we just have not used our imagination."

Nobody gets on the TeeVee for not reading from the Bannon playbook and pronouncing doom and gloom that would make an Old Testament prophet or John on Patmos say:  "Hey, wait a minute!  The future's not THAT bad!"

To really think a handful of clowns can bring the entire apparatus of the federal government to a permanent halt (even Congress has learned not to do that, and they actually hold the purse strings!) is to engage in MAGA level non-thinking.  If we've sunk to that level as the "loyal opposition," then Godelpusall.
