And it isn&#8217;t just Trump that is fomenting the dire circumstances that have captured the nation. Most of what was once the Republican Party has succumbed to the anti-democratic seduction of a self-professed strongman with divine providence who promises to cure all of our ills, and insists that only he can do so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56948\" target=\"_blank\">Wannabe Messiah Trump Claims that Only He Can \u2018End the Bloodshed and Bring Peace to the World\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump is now assembling the Cabinet for his upcoming reoccupation of the White House. And it is dreadfully apparent that his foremost prerequisites for service are&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63709\" target=\"_blank\">A past affiliation with Fox News<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Having no prior experience whatsoever for the job<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63995\" target=\"_blank\">An affinity for Vladimir Putin and Russia<\/a><\/li>\n<li>And unflinching loyalty to Dear Leader Trump<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>True to from, Fox News is fulfilling its mission to fluff Trump on all matters. Even if doing so requires chastising otherwise devoted Trump flunkies and repudiating the Constitution. To that end, Fox&#8217;s Laura Ingraham posted a couple of messages on the former Twitter castigating GOP senators who weren&#8217;t sufficiently worshipful of Trump.<\/p>\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IngrahamAngle\/status\/1860868337900638438\" target=\"_blank\">first message<\/a>, Ingraham asked <em>&#8220;Why does NDakota have a senator who is already undermining Pres-elect Trump?&#8221;<\/em> She was referring to GOP Sen. Mike Rounds, who is actually the senator from South Dakota. What she was complaining about was that Rounds delivered a speech in which, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/11\/24\/us-nato-allies-trump-halifax-00191413\" target=\"_blank\">according to Politico<\/a><\/strong>, he said <em>&#8220;that there are still three branches of the U.S. government, and the Senate will guard its independence.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>OH NO! A United States senator indicated his support for the Constitution&#8217;s separation of powers doctrine. She believes that an elected representative who would exercise his constitutional duties is <em>&#8220;undermining&#8221;<\/em> the president. Because that would impose on the omnipotent powers bestowed on Trump by Gawd! Ingraham surely wasn&#8217;t going to abide that sort of usurpation of the divine authority of Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IngrahamAngle\/status\/1860743113569947912\" target=\"_blank\">second message<\/a> that Ingrahm posted asked <em>&#8220;Why does Oklahoma have a Senator who hates Trump? Strange given that Okla. voters overwhelmingly support Trump.&#8221;<\/em> This time she was referring to GOP Sen. James Lankford, whose state she managed to get right. However, her complaint was that Lankford <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/administration\/5006895-republican-senator-on-doj-political-interference-i-dont-think-we-know-that-one-way-or-the-other\/\" target=\"_blank\">told reporters<\/a><\/strong> that <em>&#8220;he doesn\u2019t know &#8216;one way or another&#8217; if President-elect Trump and his new Department of Justice (DOJ) pick, Pam Bondi, will apply political interference from the nonpartisan department.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>MY GOODNESS! A United States senator acknowledged that the Constitution gives the Senate the duty to provide <em>&#8220;advice and consent&#8221;<\/em> to a president&#8217;s nominations to his Cabinet and other executive branch positions. It isn&#8217;t optional. It&#8217;s required. But to Ingraham it&#8217;s proof that the senator <em>&#8220;hates Trump&#8221;<\/em> if he seeks to make an informed decision. Because, once again, that would impose on the omnipotent powers bestowed on Trump by Gawd!<\/p>\n<p>This is how far the GOP has declined into the abyss of Trump cultism. and their Ministry of Propaganda (aka Fox News) is along for the ride to the bottom. They are unwaveringly faithful to Trump, even when it is flagrantly contrary to the Constitution. And he hasn&#8217;t even been inaugurated yet. So buckle up, America. It&#8217;s gonna be a bumpy ride.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63972\" target=\"_blank\">WATCH Trump\u2019s Attorney General Nominee, Pam Bondi, Threaten to \u2018Prosecute the Prosecutors\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63765\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Cabinet Picks Make it Hard to Tell the Difference Between Russian State TV and Fox News<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63744\" target=\"_blank\">Dictator on Day One!
