Is this going to be the most corrupt administration ever?

[Tigers!]

That Gaetz fellow looks like a worse appointment than Caligula nominating his horse as consul.

RFK Jr. to lead HHS. Let me say that again:

RFK Jr. to lead HHS. We're all gonna die.

And with Lara Trump as head of the RNC, there is the not too subtle implication that any Senator who doesn't play along gets primaried into fucking oblivion.

Just got back from a 4-day road trip and news quarantine. IS THIS REAL??????????????
One more subject I can never bring up with my born-again crazy-ass MAGA cousins. Can't imagine how they rationalize it. Something about victims of the weaponized Deep State DOJ banding together.
Let's just have the Rapture now.

And the nominee for the DNI job is associated with a cult.

The SIF, described as an alt-right branch of Hare Krishna, has reportedly developed thousands of followers across Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia—with Butler being heralded as an extension of God.

Nope. Nothing to see here. Just a person with no intelligence experience and association with a cult leader being put in charge of the nation's secrets...

Well, on reflection, what was Trump to do? Jeffrey Epstein is dead.

 

[Don2 (Don1 Revised)]

He's going to appoint two expensive people to both head the efficiency department which will search for waste and duplication.

You can't make this stuff up.

A known Russian asset as DNI?
What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Axulus]

One method for easy corruption: Trump has personally sued the DOJ and many of his friends are suing the federal government. Trump can direct Matt Gatez to settle these lawsuits at terms favorable to Trump and his friends (settled for a huge sum of money). Done as an official act of course, so he will have immunity when he communicates the order to Gatez. Gatez of course will be none to happy to follow the order and replace any attorneys on any of the cases who refuse to comply with the request.

The CIA and Trump weren't exactly seeing eye to eye the first time. And then the Israel intel leak to Russia, I've got to wonder if our allies will be sharing any info for next four years.

Is it even necessary to ask if this will be the most corrupt administration ever?

It's not even advisable to ask, unless you like having your door kicked in at 2am by the authorities, and being dragged off to a "re-education facility".

Allies?
Trump’s allies will be “sharing” everything they can with him. American allies are already locking their doors.

Not only does Tulsi Gabbard have zero experience with intelligence -- an odd situation for the post which oversees ALL U.S. Intelligence: CIA, NSA, etc. -- but she seems to be allied with Putin:

Gabbard has caused most controversy for her views on Russia and was accused of being a "traitor" after she said that the U.S. had been funding biological laboratories in Ukraine.
. . .
She has been accused of spreading Russian propaganda and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has referred to her as a "Russian asset."

Some of Trump's nominations, notably Gabbard and Gaetz, are absurd even by Trump-lickers' standards. There may be plans to bypass confirmation hearings using recess appointments if fifty anti-American Senators can't be found.

I’ll say it again; absurd nominations are the way to dye-stain the less-than-totally-faithful so they can be removed.

Trump doesn't have allies... only people, groups, organizations, nations that find him useful.

That’s a pretty big mouthful. I just call them his allies. Or “people who say nice things about Trump to Trump so Trump will do what they want”, which just rolls off the tongue, y’know?

She is not allied with Putin. Just because she is not part of Deep State does not mean she is bad.
Deep State is lying to you. And what is wrong with being allied with Putin? Certainly he is better than Deep State alliance with Islamic State.
