Secretary of state, acting administrator for USAID, acting lead archivist, acting national security adviser. Marco Rubio, the politician Trump once dubbed “little Marco,” has become the president’s go-to guy for big roles in the administration. But Democrats are casting doubt on whether it is possible for Rubio — or anyone — to balance all of those jobs.
Host Margaret Brennan asked Sen. Tammy Duckworth whether she had “confidence that [Rubio] can juggle all four of the jobs that he now has for an indefinite period of time.”
“No. There’s no way he can do that and do it well, especially since there’s such incompetence over at DOD with Pete Hegseth being secretary of defense, and just the hollowing out of the top leadership,” said Duckworth, who represents Illinois and sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, during a Sunday interview on CBS’s Face the Nation. “There’s no way he can carry all that entire load on his own.”
Isn’t it obvious? He’s not taking on any additional load at all.
The administration may not be able to fully cancel executive agencies that were established by Congress, but they can assign their duties to someone who would have no problem ignoring them. So instead of being killed outright, they die a slow death due to benign neglect.
There’s a lot of ways to ruin an organization besides disbanding it.
New policy: fart-scented air conditioning only in federal buildings!

I hear farts are pleasant compared to his stench
I guess definitionally Trump sycophants are extremely tolerant of the smell of shit.
