@rbreich do not underestimate the wickedness of stupid and resentful people promoted to positions they don’t deserve.

A free pass for the FCC guy? Bessent is not in the running? Rubio is screwing up two roles at once.

OK I will give you Hegseth, but Bessent has the worst poker face.

@rbreich Next time he speaks, I hope it's from the defendant's dock.

@rbreich There is fierce competition.

@rbreich it’s not even close!

Do we know that he's the stupidest? I mean, that cabinet is pretty chock full o' stupid. #WhiskeyPete may not be the stupidest from a raw stupidity standpoint: it may just be the "coming to work hammered" thing.

@rbreich I don’t know Robert. He might be stupidest relative to his position’s demands but RFK wears jeans in the pool

@rbreich Far to polite.
I see him in his snug-fitting suit, and assume he thinks it makes him look muscular, but to me he looks like a little boy who has outgrown his Sunday suit. And the slicked back hair makes him look like a used car salesman.
Then there’s the neo-Nazi tats.

@rbreich But there are so many good choices. Let's have a steel cage match and let them battle it out. Let's try to get Arr Eff Kay and Petey in last round together.
