Dictator on day one: Team Trump already in disarray in less than two weeks

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : Elise Stefanik, the upstate New York MAGA warrior for Trump, has been chosen by Trump as ambassador to the United Nations, while Marco Rubio is his pick for Secretary of State.
56% : We even won the open Senate seat in Alabama when Trump backed his buddy Roy Moore for the Senate, and Democrat Doug Jones won the race.
48% : Winning the seven battleground states Trump won by narrow margins -- and with just 50% of the popular vote -- doesn't come close to President Obama's 385 Electoral College vote win and 53% popular vote win.
48% : And grabbing he is.Trump last week demanded that the Senate allow for recess appointments of his cabinet members -- basically, thwarting the advise and consent rule and having nominations subject to a Senate vote.
46% : So we need to emphasize that, even as Trump claims a mandate and grabs for absolute power.
42% : Putting this woman, who has little experience but who's shown her brutality -- which is the most important qualification to Trump, after loyalty -- in charge of not only immigration but of thwarting domestic terrorism and overseeing FEMA and disaster relief is pretty horrifying.
35% : Republicans are now worried that Trump -- who could care less about anyone else -- is choosing too many members of Congress for his administration when the GOP will have a very narrow House majority and hold the Senate by a few seats.
33% : And nobody should think that Democrats can't win special elections in even the reddest places, since they did just that after Trump took office in 2017, went to the extremes, and horrified people.Democrat Conor Lamb won an open seat in 2018 in a district in Pennsylvania that Trump won by 20 points.
33% : Now it's time to begin organizing and focusing on the fight as Trump and MAGA move quickly to consolidate power.
32% : Trump has also named the MAGA-crazed puppy-killer Kristi Noem, the South Dakota governor, as his Homeland Security director.
29% : Let's be clear first, and just completely vaporize the media narrative: Trump didn't get a mandate, much less a landslide.
25% : Trump is putting anti-immigration hardliner Tom Homan in charge of the border, naming him "border czar."
24% : Trump is talking about deporting 11 to 20 million people, and the vast majority of those people aren't criminals by any stretch of the imagination.
19% : Kamala Harris will have won more of the popular vote than Hillary Clinton (who of course won the popular vote against Trump).
15% : Trump named his long-time white supremacist aide Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff, a pick that doesn't require Senate confirmation and which elevates one of the most racist Nazi emulators we've ever seen in government.
11% : Does any of us think the GOP, responding to Trump's rantings, won't then consider getting rid of the filibuster?MAGA minions are violently angry, railing on X at anyone in the media who says something that seeks to keep Trump in check.
