. Intrepid leader of the Resistance Keith Olbermann, takes us on a tour of Trump’s Cabinet of nefarious, crazed dirt-bag cabinet candidates, who resemble nothing so much as a crew of Batman villains – minus the charm.
As with most things Trump, you couldn’t create a list of anti-heroes like this in a fever dream. The group, who can be described as ” Citizen’s United Underworld,” operates on the principle that whoever has demonstrated the most contempt for the principles and laws upheld by their position, gets to be in charge of it under Trump.
Take Michael Flynn, tapped for national security adviser. Flynn exemplifies Trump’s selection acumen. Flynn also plays a big part in the recent dust-up regarding ‘facts’ perceived versus free-flying poop as news. It is widely known that Flynn promotes false stories on his Twitter feed, and very recently a false rumor nearly cost lives. I’m speaking of the “pizzagate” conspiracy theory, which baselessly alleged through fake news stories that a pedophilia ring involving high-level Democratic Party officials was operating out of a Washington pizzeria.Far from removing himself from the falsehood, Flynn’s son doubled down saying the rumor “had not been proven to be false.” That is the new yardstick for truth in Trump world.
Similarly, I can say “It has not been proven false” that Trump intends to fill his pockets, and grab a coveted Emmy, while using the Oval Office as a set for his new reality show – ‘Trump Grabs Washington by the Pussy.’
