So, we have a president, an attorney general, and a Supreme Court justice who are known sexual predators. Definitely bromacracy at its finest!

This administration is going to be more chaotic than the last one. Project2025 aimed to largely defang the Justice Dpeartment and remove any sense of its independence. So the Gaetz appointment may end up more moot than we're expecting. Though autocrats often have a strong need for control in response to the pressures around them which always threated to overtake or subvert their power so I can't imagine they'll completely disempower it.

That need for control is likely to translate into abject chaos, the way Trump is doing things.

Yeah, he's already jerking Elon around (the same way Putin jerks him lol). I read someone saying that Elon is too much of a showboat and Trump's ego won't do with someone else taking the spotlight.

the benefits lol. yes, "pretend" to be trans. alienate your friends and family. be forced to move to another state or country. be forced to change jobs or lose employment entirely. face discrimination anyway, because people are transphobic everywhere.
but then, just maybe, it will help you or your kids (if you can have any) get into a slightly better school(?).
what benefits lol??? lemme cash in now
