That is what I have entitled the cabinet picks that trump has nominated….because so far I do not see any of his picks as actually qualified for the positions they will be thrust into…..
But that is just me….I guess a better term would be….kakistocracy.
(I could pause here for a dash to Google or I could just skip to the definition….I will do that)
The simple definition….a government that is ruled by the least suitable, able, or experienced people in a state or country…….Kakistocracies are governments ruled by the stupid and ignorant.
Wikipedia has the term defined as….A kakistocracy (/kækɪˈstɒkrəsi/, /kækɪsˈtɒ-/) is a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. The word was coined as early as the seventeenth century. Peter Bowler has noted in his book that there is no word for the government run by the best citizens,] and that the aristarchy may be the right term, but still, it could conceivably be a kakistocracy disguised as an aristocracy.
Let me explain why I use the term…..
Since President-elect Donald Trump’s victory last week, a singular word has been dominating liberal circles online: kakistocracy.
A kakistocracy means a government run by the worst or least competent people.
The term has been used to describe a range of past and present governments, including Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government, Iranian leadership, and others.
And it’s not the first term the term has entered the public conscience in the U.S. either.
It was used by critics to attack both the Reagan and Obama administrations and became a popular adjective during Trump’s first term as president.
Other liberals and Trump critics have similarly begun circulating the word online as Trump’s cabinet picks fall into place.
Among the recently announced nominations drawing ‘least competent’ comparisons are former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence; newly resigned Rep. Matt Gaetz for Attorney General; Fox News host Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary; and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) for Homeland Security Secretary.
“Kakistocracy is right,” wrote one person Wednesday.
“There are still people telling us it won’t be that bad. Yes, it will be,” claimed one person Wednesday night. “We must put all of our attention, energy and effort into resisting every action of this fascist kakistocracy.”

This is an ugly word that should be used carefully….however in the case of the Trump cabinet nominees it is my opinion that it is right on the money this time.
There is the possibility that one or more of Trump’s choices could be a diamond in disguise….but from past antics from these people I do not foresee that as possible.
I could be mistaken and I will be watching and writing.

It’s still quite a way off until inauguration. Maybe some of them will be replaced by then if they don’t stop spouting nonsense?
Best wishes, Pete.
We can only hope but I still have zero confidence in this cabinet. chuq
Don’t matter what we think or say– He is going to have who he wants in his cabinet either the traditional way or through times when Congress is out somewhere.
Maybe that is true but I still think people need to know what they getting for their stupidity. chuq
They can know all they want but none of them are going to do a thing about it.
I refuse to embrace that defeatist attitude….I will not roll over….chuq
You don’t have to “Roll Over” because the political machine will roll over you no matter what you refuse or consent to do.
Then bring it the fuck on! chuq
and some long-dead patriot once said, “Give me Liberty or give me pecan pie” or something like that.
