        Why not? He’s got the background for the job, at the very least. He’s a loyal little toadie, when push comes to shove. He’s guaranteed to get confirmed, since Senators love waving each other through confirmation. And he’s a vicious piece of shit who will be more than happy to feed Trump’s appetite for revenge.

        I agree he’s dangerous. And there’s a real chance he’ll plant a knife in Trump’s back at the first opportunity. But do you really think Rubio or Hegseth or Gaetz wouldn’t do the same?

          He’s a loyal little toadie,

          Toadie: yes, loyal: no. He’s been on Trump’s shit list since 2015. Too much weasly ambition. The other three are coked out frat boys, not Nixon wannabes.

      Depends on whether Trump can strong arm Congress to go on a long recess and just rubber stamp all of his picks through recess appointments.
