Reminds me of Dolores Umbridge. Why do they all remind me of Dolores Umbridge?

Because despite the fact that Voldy was Harry’s nemesis via prophecy, Umbridge was everyone’s nemesis. Just out of spite.

She was worse.

Imelda Staunton did an amazing job of playing such a vile character. She really nailed the lawful evil nature from source material.

She plays vile so incredibly well. I think it was Gypsy that I had to turn off and take a break from, as she was so horrible (the character, not the acting).

He appears to be picking people from one of three lists:

  • Republicans with media experience (aka people he knows from TV or social media).
  • Whoever wrote the relevant section of Project 2025.
  • People accused of being Russian assets (mostly just Tulsi Gabbard at this point, but there’s a reason she’s going to be in charge of foreign intelligence and it’s not for our benefit).

You’re also missing a major part, donorship. These picks aren’t incompetence as it looks at first glance. They’re deliberately picked for regulatory capture. They’re going to burn it down from three inside.

Look at Dr. Oz. He got picked because of his wife’s family, the Asplundhs. They’re going to fuck up healthcare far worse than you expect.
