Are you all ready for the shitshow, the clown show, the freak show, the MAGA circus that is coming to your friendly neighborhood federal government? I sure hope you all are, especially you uncaring, reality-denying, selfish people who voted for Donald goddamned fucking Drumpf.
Drumpf is now formulating his new and improved government and let's take a look and see how things are going, shall we?
For the unofficial position of "border czar" appoints Tom Homan, his former Director of ICE and who was a co-architect along with that vampire Stephen Miller of the family separation border policy that took thousands of babies and kids away from their immigrant parents as punishment for daring to seek a better life. To this day, hundreds of those kids have yet to be reunited with their birth parents. Homan is also co-author of 'Project 2025' and an advocate for using the military to enter communities and hunt down the 20 million immigrants that they claim to want to deport.

For his White House Chief of Staff, DonOld selects Susie Wiles who unsurprisingly has her own tangled web of involvement with the Russians. Yet another Russian asset in the US White House. What could possibly go wrong, amiright? [https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/russian-lawyer-obtained-hill-hearing-seat-florida-trump/story?id=48661448].
Next up, for Secretary of State, he is nominating a woman who once shot her family hunting puppy in the head because it wouldn't learn the way she was teaching it, who also lied about having met North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, and who is of the belief that Texas was part of the original 13 colonies. Yeah - I know - fucking horrifying, huh?

For his White House Press Secretary he is going with his laughably inept strip-mall lawyer and grifter Alina Habba. Habba has so far used her legendary legal and oratorical skills to defend Donald in multiple defamation cases and only lost every time costing her client $93 million so far.

And just today, Orange Shitler announced his nominee for Secretary of US Defense a guy who was a former low-level National Guard officer and is now a current Fox "news" weekend TV show co-host (he's not even good enough to have his own Fox show), Pete Hegseth. Hegseth is also a defender of the January 6th terrorists and a defender of disgraced military members who were convicted of committing war crimes. Pete is a thrice-married, serial adulterer who impregnated his second mistress whom he worked with at Fox while still married to his first mistress. Heckuva a moral values example for our young men and women in uniform, eh?
As I said in the opening folks, the shitshow, clown show, freak show, MAGA circus is in town and they are here for a long-term engagement. Enjoy the frivolity.

**CORRECTION: The Gadfly was incorrect in stating that Alina Habba is Drumpf's official choice for Press Secretary, although she is apparently still in the running. But everything stated about Habba is still true.
