Tim, hope you post full interview, and video if you got it. Hopefully at least 47 senators and some of the republican senators will read Patel’s Gangster book and bring his intentions to the public during confirmation hearings (assuming FBI director requires confirmation). This man, like Bannon, is sick and perverting American democracy. This is where Trump’s greatest damage will happen, at the hands of his demented delegates of evil.

It strikes me that Trump is naming the very worst of the worst choices to his cabinet, quite deliberately, in an attempt to traumatize those who supported the Harris/Walz ticket. I wonder...have any of those nominated reflected on what that means? *It means Trump thinks they are nutter butter incompetents.* He must be deeply amused by that. And tragically, he's sure he can run the country without any help. God help the USA.

Actually Timothy Snyder had more nuanced view of this, along with many other aspects of the Trump regime, with tweets such as this https://x.com/TimothyDSnyder/status/1870183780608016684?t=pH-0eLSHO2sweg7EwMGXMw&s=19

And Trump will manage, in that slimy way he has, of claiming he had nothing to do with this if it creates a backlash against him. He will let others do his dirty work and leave them to twist in the wind when the s**t hits the fan.

Eight pages of targets likely mean that most Americans will know and like at least one of the people listed there and will not hesitate to call their congressperson or senator to complain. And when the complaints become too loud and too many to ignore, Trump will get on truth social in the night, call Patel names and distance himself from a policy he yapped about non-stop during his campaign of grievances.
