Van Jones: GOP Giving DOJ to a ‘Froot Loops Looney Tunes Dude’


CNN political commentator Van Jones said Wednesday on “The Lead” that Republicans will end up giving President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet pick of former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who he called a “fruit loop looney tunes dude.”

Jones said, “I think it’s a big test. I mean, why do we have a Senate? You know, apparently, the president thinks that the Senate is supposed to be a rubber stamp for him. The reason America is strong and great has been so for two and a half centuries is because we have those three coequal branches. And nobody is right all the time, and so you need those senators who have that s year cushion that we’re talking about to be above the fray and to put the country first. And so far, we’ve seen very little evidence that the Republican Party is going to say we don’t care if Donald Trump has his feelings hurt. We don’t want the Department of Justice run by a fruit loop looney tunes, dude. Like, at some point, you got to hear some Republicans actually say that there is a standard that they want this president to meet. Until that happens, you have to assume they’re going to roll over him like they’re rolled over on so many other things.”

Host Jake Tapper said, “After your conversations with Democrats, rank these confirmation picks. You don’t have to do them all but the most horrifying to Democrats and, like, just give me the top 4.”

Former Biden White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield said, “I mean, so I think it sort of depends on who you’re talking to. I think there is a genuine horror about Matt Gaetz because of what he represents.”

You have t yet extolled the qualities of these people; only bathed in "liberal tears." That's because very few of these appointments are qualified, knowledgeable or serious nominees to run the agencies Trump is so comically nominating them to.

That shits gonna get real pretty soon.

Gaetz is a freak. Basically reviewing whookers on the House floor. An absolute lowlife who'd be better qualified to troll ECCIE than run DOJ.

If the topic is about Cabinet appointments, Mr. Gaetz and the House are having some discussions over whether the Ethics Committee should release the existing report on him.

And yet, we were all assured over and over, often on this very forum, that both of them were competent despite the evidence of multiple public failures.

If the topic is sangfroid over liberal tears . . .I am having intense multiples episodes. Frankly, if Trump and the Republican had won as theyindedd have, I was expecting more of the mass hysteria that followed Hillery's defeat.

The OP was an example of lack of coping skills for the new minority class. Let's be honest, the split is practically 50/50 (48%/50%) politically speaking. Instead of spinning wheels blame-storming, I would hope we are able to cope and meet somewhere in the middle ground area, as opposed to totally capitulate entrench camps.

To that end; some level of coping skills seem needed, as opposed to blaming other for the faults of themselves. Many seems stuck between the first and second step of the 5 stages of grief:
  1. Denial
  2. Anger
  3. Bargaining
  4. Depression
  5. Acceptance
I might add my own 6th sense: Coping or working together. Either way, the new minority is not the old (perceived) majority they thought they were, according to the scope and MAGA-natude of the recent electorate.
