This is one that maybe I can get behind, if only for the chance to see all those Trump loving Midwest farmers being completely fucked by this inept groupie

Oh, the Kelly Loeffler who was credibly accused of insider trading in connection with the COVID crisis? That Kelly Loeffler?
That fits.
Reading the Kelly Loeffler Wikipedia page to see just how unqualified for this position she is.
Loeffler aligned with President Donald Trump in her time in the Senate, touting a "100 percent Trump voting record" during her campaigns.[3][4] After the November 2020 election, Loeffler and Perdue claimed without evidence that there had been unspecified failures in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, and called for the resignation of Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger, who rejected the accusations. She later supported a lawsuit by Trump allies seeking to overturn the election results,[5] and also announced her intention to object to the certification of the Electoral College results in Congress.
Due in part to her stance on the Black Lives Matter movement, and the resulting criticism expressed by many players on the Dream roster and within the league, in February 2021 Loeffler sold her stake in the team.
Loeffler donated portions of her Senate salary to anti-abortion pregnancy centers and an anti-LGBTQ adoption agency.
During the 2024 United States presidential election, Loeffler was a top donor to Donald Trump, having contributed more than $4.9 million to his re-election effort.
And there is so much more in that wiki page.
Looks at her part where she's gone against social causes
Looks at what department she's to lead
Looks back at what she's done
Looks back at the department name
One of these things is clearly not like the other.
Just wait until she learns what they do to male chicken eggs.
So has Ms. Loeffler ever heard the word agriculture before? Just asking questions.
I got a co-worker. Real die-hard Trumper. For about a week after the election was called, he'd walk into the office with a proud "Happy MAGA day". Even made his computer profile picture the image of Trump after he got shot with his fist in the air.
Anyway, once these cabinet picks started getting known, he brought up to another co-worker (retired navy) about how the military was going to be run by a news host. Navy retiree didn't know what he was talking about. I chimed in and said that Trump is packing his cabinet full of political "Yes-men" to which I was promptly told he's not. I doubled down with a "yes he is" and said that the cabinet should be made up of experts in the field, people who bring the president the proper information to create an informed decision. Navy retiree said it should be like that but it's not.
Long story short, I haven't heard this much kick-back about cabinet picks ever. The only other cabinet pick I remember hearing anything about was Obama's (I think) energy pick who liked to dress in skirts and high heels, and I'm sure I only heard about that because the news wanted to poke fun at him. Have any other recent presidents chosen such a poor cabinet to advise them?
