Toadies
Trump's Bizarro cabinet
meeting has inspired my newest and most ambitious pointless
gesture. I just sent this letter to all the cabinet members and the
Vice President:
The video of the Monday June 12, 2017 cabinet meeting is never
going away, and I'm curious: How does it feel to have President
Trump put you on national TV and permanently define your legacy as
nothing more than a subservient spineless toady?
You have one chance. Under the provisions of the 25th amendment,
the Vice President and the cabinet can submit a memo declaring the
President unable to do his job. If that display in the cabinet
meeting wasn't enough to finally convince you that Donald Trump is
not up to the job of being a marginally decent and rational human
being, much less the job of being President of the United States,
then I guess the role of spineless toady suits you.
Snap out of it! Do the right thing!
Sincerely,
Tom Horsley

challenge (some of the government web sites make it simple, others

Clearly, Donald Trump does have one outstanding talent: The
unerring ability to find and hire toadies. This is probably why so
many positions remain unfilled. He is running out of toadies.
