How long until they're holding press conferences at Hooters? It's hard to top Four Seasons Total Landscaping when it comes to stately presidential venues, but Hooters could do it!

I don't think our esteemed Senator, Susan Collins will even find herself concerned. She'll just vote yes and move on to the next item.

But she will feel bad about it.

Caligula nominated a horse to Rome’s Senate, Felon Trump is nominating an ass as a diplomat. What could go wrong?

Alpha male--Does that mean vulgar jerk? This guy's idea of masculinity is buffoonish.

"Unfortunately for Adams, there isn’t that much golf in Malaysia (about 240 courses total), and there aren’t any Hooters (we checked)."

I want to be a fly on the wall when Sarah asks Joe why he's Googling "Malaysian Hooters" on his work computer.

There actually is golfing in Kuala Lumpar. 20 years ago I traveled there often on business. The heat leads to night golfing under the lights and monkeys are known to jump onto the fairways and abscond with your golf ball.

Of course they will. Anyone who has any doubts has been asleep at the wheel for the last 6mo.

A Hooters devotee with no diplomatic experience is being sent as ambassador to a Muslim-majority country with a varied list of sensitivities and peculiarities in a strategically significant part of the world What could possibly go wrong? (First, I mean.)

This is a good reminder to get outside. I get off of my government job between 1 and 3am and have a long drive. I take the rural way home instead of the freeway while listening to cosy murder mysteries to unwind and I love it. We all need to find healthy coping mechanisms in this crazy time. Thanks for the reminder.

None of cheeto's appointees have been serious people. The one that does stand out, who would inflict the most pain on citizens is, bove-ine. He's a demon along with pam bondage, russell vought, stephen miller, fake face noem, and tom ho-bag. I cant wait to hear the other names folks have for all the horseman of the apocalypse.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of the T. Rump criminal enterprise the only function of the Legislative Branch is to approve whatever fever dreams The Don cooks up. The only way Nick Adams can escape becoming Ambassador to Malaysia is refusal of the post or death. His choice.

I would not be so quick to assume that the "foursome" Nick Adams looks forward to involves golf.

I for one am very pleased to see the administration appoint someone with in-depth expertise in their chosen field.

I don't think the golf courses in Malaysia have many 19th hole bars either. I know that they don't celebrate International Beer Day! Wrong religion for alcohol sales.
