The nation is still wondering about the thought process behind the selection of certain of Trump’s cabinet members.

The common wisdom, of course, is that the normal issue of qualifications as seen on the person’s resume’ is far less important than his unwavering loyalty to the president.

But does that explain RFK, Jr. or Pete Hegseth? I’m fairly certain that you could find loyal Trumpers who aren’t complete crackpots to head Health and Human Services. If you check the coverage on health and disease on Fox News or Newsmax, you’ll find plenty of people with “MD” after their names who aren’t batshit crazy like Kennedy.

Perhaps part of Trump’s thinking is that he wants to communicate to the American people that he is, in already a dictator, and as such, that he can do anything he wants, regardless of how destructive and apparently insane.

The Trump administration is working hard to protect the ICE shooter in Minnesota, insofar as the entire legitimacy of “border patrol” personnel roaming the streets of cities 1000 miles from the border is at stake.

But they’re going down hard here, based on the video evidence that is available to everyone on Earth.

The murderer of George Floyd is serving 21 years in prison; let’s expect roughly the same here.

And let’s hope that the sentiment of American voters re: ICE accordingly takes a shift.

Unfortunately, this whole legal process is going to take years to come to a conclusion, during which time human rights and rule of law in the United States may have all but vanished.
