HabbaDabbaDoo snark:

... With Habba as his lawyer, Trump was found liable for the sexual abuse of E. Jean Carroll and guilty of defaming the writer....

Former federal prosecutor:

If she’s as good at this job as she is being his private sector lawyer, the odds of him being impeached and convicted just increased exponentially.

Great minds :

I will say emphatically that Alina is as qualified as the rest of Trump's selections!

It should be infuriating to you that we taxpayers now have to foot the bill for Alina Habba’s salary.

What “Counsel” is she going to provide Trump in the WH?

She has no track record in politics. She was bad at law too.

"infuriating"? Nah, SSDD. More tweets at the link.

BRD pool: Who will be the next nominee to drop out or be dropped - Gabbard, Hegseth, KINO, other? My guess - Hegseth would seem to be the obvious pick, but I'll go with KINO.

Probably Hegseth, but bad odds on any of them making through confirmation.

Gabbard has been called DOA by some repugs, but Hegseth is sucking all the air so she's kinda skating along right now. I think they'll get

Hegseth

77 Nobel Prize Winners Write Message To The Senate: Don’t Confirm RFK Jr.

A group of 77 Nobel laureates — a coalition from the fields of medicine, physics, chemistry and economics — wrote an open letter to the Senate on Monday urging lawmakers to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s bid to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

“Placing Mr. Kennedy in charge of DHHS would put the public’s health in jeopardy and undermine America’s global leadership in health science,” the letter, obtained by The New York Times, reads....

“The proposal to place Mr. Kennedy in charge of the federal agencies responsible for protecting the health of American citizens and for conducting the medical research that benefits our country and the rest of humanity has been widely criticized on multiple grounds,” the document reads. “In addition to his lack of credentials or relevant experiences in medicine, science, public health or administration, Mr. Kennedy has been an opponent of many health-protecting and life-saving vaccines.”

“The leader of DHHS should continue to nurture and improve — not threaten — these important and highly respected institutions and their employees.”

Richard Roberts, the winner of the Nobel in Physiology or Medicine in 1993, told the Times it was the first time in recent memory a group of laureates had gathered to oppose a Cabinet nominee. Roberts added that laureates tend to shy away from politics if possible, but described the Trump administration’s efforts to attack science as “very damaging.”

“You have to stand up and protect it,” he told the paper.

A spokesperson for the Trump transition rejected the laureates’ claims in a statement to the Times.

“Americans are sick and tired of the elites telling them what to do and how to do it,” the spokesperson said. “Our healthcare system in this country is broken, Mr. Kennedy will enact President Trump’s agenda to restore the integrity of our healthcare and Make America Healthy Again.”

These are scientists who rose from diverse origins on the strengths of their smarts, talent and hard work, and were thus recognized. They are not ultimate elite nepo babies like DJT and RFK Jr. I hate Trumpworld's whiny flipping of reality on its head.

Gonna be a long four years.

It's only my cynicism that keeps me from being any more depressed now than before the election.

Awww, you still have your device to keep you comfort on daily support searching for bullshit while you waste away.



Which ever old decaying corpse you identify as.

(Waaa!)

1 FAT CAN's tragic immaturity is only surprising if one doesn't know that s/he is a MAGAt cultist and Clemson dropout.

And there's no consequence.
